Werewolf

In this day and age we are surrounded by technology some might say that technology is ruining the world and some might say other wise. It is an on going issue that might never get resolved. To the click of a button on the top of your finger we have access to information that we didn’t have 30 years ago, just goes to show how much the world has evolved. I think the real argument here is that does and will the Internet give or take away the value of art. We are faced with not just on world but…

Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North both aligns with, and undercuts, Frantz Fanon’s study of the relations between coloniser and the colonised and between a black man and white woman in Black Skin, White Masks. We can study the areas where Salih’s conception of his characters are in direct conversation with Fanon’s ideas, particularly with Fanon’s distillation of the cause of Jean Veneuse’s neurosis as independent of his race. From the areas where Salih parallels and diverges from…

can show. Lupin, who comes to her rescue, has experience with his traumas and seems to have overcome them by not letting them control his life, but that takes serious time and effect to master a trauma as serious and continuing as his of being a werewolf. Although member like Lupin and Moody may experience less trauma because of the amount of dark magic that is normal to them, they are still apart of the group when communal trauma is concerned because no one can go through the traumatic…

proven then it does not exist. A physicalist you could say. Or just a nonbeliever on theory, and imagination, dreams. What are those? Simply mere thoughts and ideas. Nothing more nor less. Magic isn't real. Mermaids aren't real. Vampires and werewolfs? No they aren't real either. Fairies, sirens, elves, Santa, bigfoot, spirits and ghost even, anything of that nature... It's just simply does not exist. Now God on the other hand. I believe in him. I was raised a conservative Christian. But…

One of the early forms of the short story is the folk tale or fairy tale, which derives from an oral tradition. “[…] Fairy tale motifs are […] ancient and appear in many pre-Christian epics, poems, myths, fables, histories and religious narratives.” (Zipes, Why Fairy Tales Stick, P 44) Aesop’s fables, for example, have been most popular in the Greece culture since the fifth century before Christ, though they are mere anecdotes with a moral to follow and less short stories like the fairy tale.…

One old lady on the same carriage ride as Jonathan Harker had wanted to protect him from either a werewolf or vampires (Stoker 18). The vampire could have been something hard to believe so Harker at first might have not been afraid of the Count. The Count was one that had very good spoken language somewhat gentleman qualities and a powerful charismatic…

He also might have gotten hurt if he hadn't known about the Order. Something could have happened with him that interfered with their plans, or he could have done something that got himself into trouble or got himself injured. This shows in Harry's creation of Dumbledore's Army. Due to Harry's choice of a name, Dumbledore has to flee Hogwarts to avoid being taken away because they're breaking the rules and the Ministry tried to crack down on them for doing that. Another example of people…

Today, horror is popular in both literature and film. Since its humble beginnings, horror was intended to bring fear as close to life as possible by attempting to realize the impossible. Horror has evolved in such a way that now audiences crave both supernatural elements and realism. As film and media evolved, the horror genre has also expanded its ranges and dynamics. Within “Horror” subgenres were created, such as sci-fi horror and suspense/thriller. From gothic literature to the parodies of…

While records related to the birth of Julia Pastrana are somewhat blurred, it is likely that she was born somewhere on the Western slopes of Mexico’s Sierra Madre. It is believed that she was born in the year 1834. At that time, her physical characteristics of thick lips, wide ears and excessive hair growth caused great confusion: Some individuals theorized that she was the offspring of a human and an ape, a bear or a baboon, which led to her nicknames, ‘The Bear Woman,’ ‘The Baboon Lady’ and…

Why do we as a people fear monsters and similar entities? Throughout history people have created stories centered around monsters who would terrorize communities. These stories would be used to rationalize findings they couldn’t understand. These monsters were used to rationalize dieses, deaths and many other occurrences. These monsters still persist in stories today because over time they would evolve past what they stood for and would become symbols of our primal fears. There are many monsters…
