Real Life Epic The Odyssey has many things in similar to real life. There are many challenges we must face, and many things will try to stop us from reaching our goal. Sometimes, our goal may seem hopeless, but if we keep going, we can reach it. An example of something in real life corresponding to the Odyssey is how people can try and hold you back from your goal. For example, I wanted to be a snare drum player on the NHS drumline, but my skills were not good enough for me to make it. I…

Many people have at least read several novels that are classified as “horror”, such as “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley. Yet, these texts would not have been possible if not for the authors during the Gothic era that laid the foundation for such works to be created by today’s novelists. The novels Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole and “Sir Bertrand” by Anna and John Aikin, give excellent examples on this subject. It was these works where the architectural environment helped give the text a sense…

A Nightmare on Elm Street questions the existence of a rare psychological affiliation that causes unexplained nocturnal deaths happening in seemingly healthy young adults and whether or not it is linked to a post-traumatic tension in their past that must have built fear in them.

My heart is pounding, my chest is starting to tighten and my breaths are becoming shorter. Bending back my blinds, I see nothing but puddles of dark red fluid and vacant streets. Panicking and pacing around the room not knowing what to do or where to go, I just knew I had to get out. The noises that were coming from down the street, seemed to be getting louder as they became closer to my home. A zombie apocalypse, who would’ve known what I thought was only shown on many TV shows today, would…

It's so weird. In the human world, it was hard for you to trust anyone; your family had jaded you to any and all interactions with other people. The fact that said other people bullied you didn't help. But you can tell how different these monsters are. You know that aboveground, they would be called "freaks," like you were, and that gives you a sense of closeness that you haven't had with anyone for as long as you can remember. You trust this strange but perfect family to take care of you, and…
