Gargoyle

But sadly they weren’t stones, they were the backs of the jawbreaker-gargoyles. Then two of the jaw-breakers went down into the acid. That would have been good, if they weren’t the two on the sides...THEY WERE TRAPPED! “Ahhh, what do we do?” Charlie screams. Then they notice a giant splash about 6ft down the stream . “Ah…

Cathedral churches were founded in Europe in the 11th century and lasted until the 16th century. The cathedrals were built quickly and added to as the funds became available. Most of the the senior clergies funded the construction of the cathedrals and the bishops could fund at own discretion. Construction consisted of brick and mortar instead of the more expensive limestone. Although when construction first started everything was made of wood, but later stopped due to the many fires. The…

Is it possible for the reader to ever be so close to a story, so close that they could almost be in it? So close, yet so far, from the future, that undeterminable,unpredictable future? The answer is yes, and it happens when the author of any story uses good literary terms to add a twist or anything that might keep the reader interested and on the edge of their seat. In “The Most Dangerous Game” Sanger Rainsford, a highly skilled hunter, learns even he can fall prey to something, or someone, else…

The main kind of architecture was gothic architecture. Gothic architecture consisted of gargoyles, the people believed that gargoyles protected you from evil spirits. Gargoyles have a practical purpose: They’re spouts, enabling rain water to drain off the roof and gush through their mouths before plummeting to the ground. Another purpose of the gargoyle was to scare people into going inside of the cathedral for protection against the demons outside. Gothic architecture…

Reflection On march 10 in the PAC, at 7:00, I had the opportunity to be able to go and see The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It was a wonderful paly production, with some raunchy scenes, but, it was a very well orchestrated play, with well casted people and had very smooth transitions even though there wasn’t a curtain. The cast was huge, so great was need for voices that they had to hire a local choir to sing with them. The first scene is when you see the choir coming to and sing and take their…

We are only worth $129,000 it seems like a lot, but that money is not worth losing a loved one for. In the story “The Most Dangerous Game” A character named Rainsford gets washed up on an island to find a huge chateau. As Rainsford uses the gargoyle knocker, a massive man named Ivan opened the door, with a long-barreled revolver pointing straight at Rainsford’s heart. In the book after hearing about the general’s hunting Rainsford states “Thank you, I’m a hunter, not a murderer.” (Pg. 14)…

The church scene in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 offers powerful insight into the archetypal relationship between death and rebirth. As darkness shifts to light, Raimi depicts the death of the black Spiderman and the coinciding birth of Peter Parker. Contrarily, Raimi displays the simultaneous death of Edward Brock Jr. and the birth of Venom, as Edward stands with outstretched arms asking God to “kill Peter Parker” (Raimi). It is through these haunting images Raimi challenges our preconceived notion…

around the arched, brightly lit corridors. On either side, I recall the large mahogany doors which would fluidly open to reveal ancient, chestnut-brown rooms with antique, twin bed frames which were confined within. I will never forget the uncanny gargoyles that were suspended onto the wall behind, the very same monsters who would assault my sleep and curse me with countless numbers of sleepless nights. And of course, there was our camp, situated right behind the house. Our own little hideout.…

Romanesque and Gothic architecture, for me, is a very interesting topic as one style evolved from the other. Romanesque architecture is believed to have developed between the 6th and 10th century, while Gothic architecture arose in the 12th century. Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of Medieval Europe, although in England, it is more often referred to as Norman architecture. It was the first style of architecture which stood out since the Roman Empire. Many of the Romanesque…
