IV By Chuck Klosterman There are so many inquisitive people living around the world. The majority of them usually don’t have an insight on what happens on Earth.

teachers of Gothic teenagers. The teachers that want a way to connect with their Gothic students in class and help other students connect with them too. Goths Culture in Modern Society Over the last thirty-seven years, Goths have made…
everyone was wearing black from head to toe with the exception of a few girls who had white or red hair. I saw a mixture of Victorian-like clothing (that incorporated smooth fabrics and lace) and leather (pants or jackets) with spike studs. Many of the goths there were wearing white or red contact lenses that mimicked cat eyes. Tattoos, and body piercings were very common among those that attended the nightclub, along with spikey bracelets, and choker necklaces. Many of the gothic members (men…
Question 3: Throughout this semester, this class has really pushed me outside of my comfort zone and made me aware of and question some of the gender differences that I have ignored and/or accepted throughout my life. It is clear that men, specifically wealthy, white men, still manage the world that we live in today. With the recent election, I have been thinking about how gender affects our society. The theory that has stuck out to me the most is Lorber’s A vs. not A ideology. I have…
Over the last couple centuries there have been many tales of the creatures of the night. Two of the most famous are Vampires and Werewolves. In the stories told of them they are almost always natural enemies. Fighting to the death over who knows what. Money? Power? Kristen Stewart? They’re alike in a lot of ways, but also different. Werewolves were thought to have originated in Europe, but a lot of the original stories came from Native Americans. The origination of vampirism did however…
Even their names help to convey this, Horrocks sounds very simple and English whereas Raut sounds European and slightly more upper class. The story is set in three key places, in a garden, a railway crossing, and an iron works, which all have their individual gothic elements. The garden is portrayed as a dark, still place, with an atmospheric sky looming overhead, the railway crossing is where Raut experiences a near death incident, but oddly enough Horrocks saves him, then the final…
Get to know a Goth The Goth culture is one that finds beauty in things that others consider to dark and depressing to even think about. The goth group is known for mostly wearing dark clothing and being calm and nonviolent people. However, goths are commonly perceived from society as people who worship the devil, cut themselves, are evil, and only wear black. Goths have also been seen as people that are always depressed and only like to listen to goth genres such as rock and heavy…
his neck” (Keneally 129). The cruelty to which the SS operates in the book sickens me. I can still picture the cruel imagery of the brutal abuse and extermination of Jews. The story goes on to develop the character of Amon Goeth, the butcher of Płaszów, who is based on the real life Amon Goeth. He was an Austrian SS-Hauptsturmführer and the commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp. His hatred for Jews and passion for the Nazi ideology leads him committing the worst war crimes.

that weren’t directly related to the war effort, and the Jews that were originally working in them would be relocated to concentration camps. Luckily for his employees, Schindler knew about this plan through his Nazi contacts, and was able to convince Göth and the other Nazis involved to instead let him change his factory from one that produced enamelware to one that produced anti-tank grenades. Schindler was also allowed to move his factory and workers to Brünnlitz in the Sudetenland.…
