Princes in the Tower

I first stumbled upon the Persona series when I was 16. Persona 4 was on sale at GameStop and I had to get my mom to buy it because I was not old enough. During this point in my life, I was struggling with a multitude of issues including existential crises, fitting in with the world, and most importantly, my sexual identity. After reading the back label for information on the game, I thought it was perfect. A bizarre murder mystery is just what I needed to escape reality. Or so I thought. The…

According to Thomas C. Foster whenever characters in literature share a meal it is considered a communion. Just because meals in literature are considered a communion that does not necessarily mean that they are holy. Sharing a meal is an “act of sharing and peace” (Foster 8). Eating food is considered such a personal thing that people only want to share meals with people they are comfortable being around. If an author includes a scene about a meal in their story it is always meant to serve a…

The movie “The Exorcist” a stomach twisting day for the entire audience because people ran out of the theater screaming and vomiting from witnessing actual demon faces for 1 of 48 seconds flashing before them. The twenty dollar bill shows the twin towers in flames when you fold it a certain way the illuminati shows their intentions. Not all subliminal advertisements are bad since subliminal advertising is still hidden messages so logos fall under that category: NBC’s logo has a peacock behind…

Medieval castles were built in the middle ages in europe and the Middle East as a structure to provide protection. Castles shouldn't be confused with the “Palaces” that we are familiar with today, Medieval castles weren't made for comfort although they were great for protection. Castles were drafty, gloomy and damp. The fireplaces typically smoked up the rooms. The only light besides was from flickering torches. The floors were either bare stone or covered with animal furs. What furniture they…

extremely impressive, but that wasn’t enough for scientists. What if you could take an enormous telescope, built with all of the modern bells and whistles, and then send that much closer to the stars. Closer than any mountain top observatory, or tall tower. That is precisely what was accomplished with the Hubble Space Telescope. An incredible work of craftsmanship and technology, scientists would have a front row seat to the stars we so desperately…

Modern Feminism has many various strands of thinking as different people strive to explain the world around them. Gregory Castle says, “What all of these women have in common is an interest in exposing patriarchal forms of power as the cause of the unequal and subordinate status of women in Western societies” (96). Literature reflects the ideas of the author therefore, by interpreting Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley with the literary theory of Feminism, the reader can…

She can't even think about her life now, doesn't really want to there's not really anything to think about. Her parents abandoned her, she was found on the doorstep some old abandoned building, she was thrown into the shitty low social class foster system, she ran away and lived on the streets for three years until she was kidnapped by Doll's House and raised to be Micheal's best, most expensive virgin. That's it that's her life and it's pitiful. She closes her eyes, turning to face the back…

Her origin is death angst, the anxiety that occurs in vital destruction. (Kronfeld 1935, 378) Angst can not be reduced to a merely objectless form of fear, Glas continues (p. 46-48), for it implies that objectless emotions would be accepted in the domain of the intentionality. The self is, in the words of Kierkegaard, a relating to itself. This relating to itself, that constitutes the selfness, and gives the definition of the person meaning, exists in “that it relates to itself, because it…

Before we went separate ways, I played with someone's teddy bear but I don't know to whom it was. Maybe it belonged to Boribo? First of all, we went into a supermarket where some of us bought their lunches. Mael, Valentine, Ly and Boribo shared a sushi plate. It looked mouthwatering. I wanted to get some Dutch specialty like stroopwafels but I hadn't enough money. Instead, I walked around with Zoé. She was looking for a tobacconist. We went until the end of the street and back before asking to…
