Whedon has created numerous amounts of television shows, comic books, and movie scripts since the beginning of his young career, each building his knowledge of the industry and…

of any show or film I am watching. I am very sensitive to unusually memorable names such as hers. Add to that the fact that she appears in some of my favorite works and that she always gives a stellar performance, and I knew I had to seek out an interview with her. This summer, we set one up, but technology has only just allowed me to be able to share it with my readers. I am so glad that Rukiya was eagerly disposed to share about how she began her career in the entertainment…

The Cramps are a unique blend of rockabilly, garage rock, classic horror movies, and teenage angst. The Cramps celebrate all that is dirty and perverse and draw in listeners with their unique sound. This unique blend led to the creation of the psychobilly genre. Punk and psychobilly culture would be completely unthinkable without them, and their presence helped to influence the revival of rockabilly and later rock movements The creation of the Cramps began in 1972 in Sacramento, CA, when Erick…

Kinship Project For my kinship assignment I decided to interview my mother Rebecca Andrews.

an additional perspective and to write the foreshadowing of Dr. Goose’s murder attempt: “Ewing puts me in mind of Melville’s bumbler Cpt. Delano in ‘Benito Cereno,’ blind to all conspirators—he hasn’t spotted his trusty Dr. Henry Goose [sic] is a vampire, fueling his hypochondria in order to poison him, slowly, for his money” (64). The discovery of the letters Frobisher sent to Sixsmith by Rey “when the maid found these letters” (116) allows Rey to delve deeper into what could be her prior self,…

“Good luck finding a job!” Every tattooed person hears this phrase at least once in his or her lifetime, if not, every other day. The popularity of tattoos has grown a lot with the beginning of the 21st century, and they have become more and more accepted and tolerated. A poll conducted by Fox News in March 2014 suggests that one out of every five Americans who voted has at least one or more tattoos (13).

While we think of the supernatural as vampires, zombies and aliens, we tend to describe it as Romantic literature, but we use the lazy term of supernatural or psychic.

contrary when she is not on stage Schumer claims to be an introvert stating, “Being an introvert doesn’t mean you’re shy. It means you enjoy being alone. Not just enjoy it- you need it. If you’re a true introvert, other people are basically energy vampires. You don’t hate them; you just have to be strategic about when you expose yourself to them—like the sun.
