Tossing and turning, I could not sleep the night before our cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. Excitement had gotten the best of me. It was the day of the cruise. We all met 5:30am sharp outside of our friend Aaron’s house. All of us carpooled together in Joey’s car and hit the road to Long Beach, California; where it is the home of the Carnival Corporation’s Long Beach Cruise Terminal. When we arrived we can see all the cruise ships that were departing that day. First we went through the terminals, sorted everything and proceeded to the cruise where we would than settle down. As soon as we approached the cruise there were two huge glass doors wide open to enter. As we entered through the main lobby lounge we were all greeted warmly by the crew members. We were so intrigued by the fascinating room. Beautiful red carpet flooring with high ceilings of gold drapes surrounding the room with white marble walls and an alluring gold piano in the center. Next we were directed to go to our cabins to unpack and settle down. The hallways were very long and narrow. I remember Joey saying “this looks like the same exact hallway in The Shining” and before he said that I was already thinking the same thought. We opened the door to our compact interior cabin room. There were two twin beds, a cramped private bathroom with a shower, a boxy closet for hanging clothes, dresser cabinet, and last but not least a mini TV. I was upset there was no window to let in natural light, so we felt claustrophobic.…

upon the trilogy (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay) by Suzanne Collins earned a rating of 14 + age group. The literary version relating the journey of Katniss Everdeen attempting to free Panem from a dictator is deemed suitable for a younger audience. The use of poetic license by visual media to increase the viewer appeal may contribute to the variance in age appropriateness. The Twilight series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) by Stephenie Meyer is a good…

The book that I am reading is the Vampire Diaries The Return: Nightfall. The main thing I am focusing on today are the two brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore.

“Vampires and Vixens” written by Alison Happel and Jennifer Esposito is an article written to educate and advise readers of present feministic and post-feministic controversy veiled in today’s media, specifically in the movie ‘Twilight’ directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The two authors express their concerns about the film by addressing the film itself, the teachings of popular culture, post-feminism, and sexualized violence. Even though the article “Vampires and Vixens” did contradict itself…

Societal interest in the vampire has waxed and waned throughout the ages though they have remained ever present. Vampires have gone through many evolutions, as have their admirers and audience. Throughout the centuries they have been portrayed as dreaded creatures of the night, beings to be pitied, and, in recent years, as love interests. The evolution of vampires can be traced back throughout history using their presence in mythology, literature, and film. Vampires, like most creatures of…

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…

together and at most will work in a small group for a short time therefore it is illogical for every American vampire to band together for an extended period of time. The topic of vampire feeding also raises other issues. Vampires have extraordinary stamina and strength compared to human. Additionally, vampires have animal like senses of both sight and smell thus all these factors together making hunting trivial for them. With this established it can be concluded that vampires have no need to…
