My life began March 25, 1999 in a hospital in Michigan. I came out screaming and kicking until my mother complained to the doctor to settle me down. The doctor notified my mother that many babies cry much worse than this and I was absolutely normal. My mother, Cassaundra Kindley, and father, Richard Kindley, brought me home to my older brother, Caleb Kindley. Caleb, like always, was happy to see me. Before my mother had set me down, Caleb had already asked to hold me. At the time he was only two…

“The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed” (Bronte). In order to fulfill her hopes and dreams of becoming an author, Charlotte Bronte had to hide who she was, writing under the pseudonym Currer Bell. During the time period that her novels Jane Eyre and Villette were written in, the Victorian Era, women had no value, so being a female author was not only a huge accomplishment,…

The development of the cotton industry throughout the industrial revolution marked an extremely important time in history. It altered forever the way products are manufactured through mechanization, changed the labour process and its management through the capitalist created factory system, and affected monumental social changes for families and working people. One can only speculate the ways in which the industrial revolution would have changed the world we live in today without the development…

When people think of the infamous Wallachian ruler Vlad III Drăculea, they think of the famous literary monster of nightmares, Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula. Dracula, who has appeared in many media outlets from the big screen of Hollywood to the bright lights of Broadway, is thought by many to have been inspired by the Wallachian Voivode that is better known as Vlad the Impaler. There is, however, little evidence that backs this assumption. In fact, there is actually a lot of evidence that refutes…

Dracula and Wuthering Heights: Did They Conform? Both the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Dracula by Bram Stoker conform to the societal norms of their time but not in a direct way. The characters in Wuthering Heights like Catherine for example, do make decisions like marrying Edgar Linton instead of Heathcliff which is a reasonable decision as she wants to keep her status and be rich. The characters in Dracula, especially the females, conform to society as they do not meddle in…
