Twilight

There is silence in a room of twenty five as they watch Twilight Sparkle and her pony friends contend with wrapping up winter in preparation for the upcoming spring. All of the ponies in the village of Ponyville know their tasks which include snow removal, bird nest building, and waking hibernating animals in order to usher in the new season. The quiet space is broken when some of the attendees start singing along with the feature song of the episode “Winter Wrap Up.” Soon the entire room is…

The Twilight Zone The teleplay “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” by Rod Serling, is both similar and different to the TV episode of the same title which first aired on March 4th, 1960. Both have the same characters, such as Steve, Don, and Charlie, and both take place in a mysterious place called “The Twilight Zone,” on a classic American street in the fifties and sixties. Both feature a lot the same lines, and the camera moves in a similar way for most of both the teleplay and the TV…

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher who had a lot of controversial views on society. In his book “Twilight of the Idols”, there are a lot of different themes being explored of which some include what the Germans are lacking, how moralities have “improved” human beings, why the senses are superior to reason and even the problem with Socrates. One of the statement that we will be focusing on would be “Every individual may be regarded as representing either the ascending or the descending…

It’s an innate part of the human condition to avoid pain when possible, but pain exists as a natural part of life and exposure to it is necessary in order to live a healthy life. Pain and suffering are everywhere in Twilight Sleep; the words appear a total of 32 times throughout the novel. However, they are not often experienced by the characters. Instead, the characters take great care to avoid pain and any unpleasantness that accompanies it. The constant avoidance and dismal of pain leads…

In The Celtic Twilight, Yeats attributes much of his work to Paddy Flynn. Yeats’ initially description of Paddy Flynn is not a negative one, however it gives a sense of the “Other”. He is first seen “bent over a can of mushrooms” and then “asleep under a hedge” (Yeats, The Celtic Twilight, 5). These are signs of a domesticity that are foreign to that of the English audience reading Yeats’ collection…

The Madman was written earlier on Nietzsche’s life; one could argue when he was a disillusioned youth. However, the Twilight of the Idols was written closer to the end of Nietzsche’s life or at least the end of his sanity. The Twilight of the Idols has more of an optimistic edge than the Madman did. The Twilight of the Idols relates to the idea that the sun is setting on the idols and they are also near their end. Examples of idols are the ideas of one standard…

I have selected the theme(s) of vampirism and romanticism to represent strategies in which the mode Twilight has been portrayed. Twilight is portrayed in film and novel which defines and summarizes the difference in nature and tone of the two pieces. Namely the two pieces reveal how the protagonist acts and reacts, the visual display against textual perception, and the abbreviated conversations. Throughout this paper the reader will be able to detect contextual clues to allow one to relate the…

Pike, is a part of the young adult and fantasy genres. It was published on May , 2009. Wings is apart of a five book series; the last book was published in 2016. Some people say that it is relatively similar to the Twilight series, but in my opinion it is more interesting than Twilight. Wings received number one New York Times bestseller, and received many nominations for rewards. The book focuses around a 15 year old girl, Laurel, who has lived most of her life being homeschooled on her…
