My favorite movie character is Dr. Frank-N-Furter from the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Frank is something of a mad scientist, bent on creating the perfect life form to serve as his sexual plaything. He seems to be the leader of the Transylvanians on Earth. Frank is mainly concerned with himself and lacks the ability to see the consequences of his behavior. Though he did bring out the sexual creatures in a young, repressed couple, he did this with his own amusement in mind. He commits murder and cannibalism without a second thought, as well as locking Eddie in a deep-freezer. (http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0010150/bio)…

In Richard Matheson’s novel, I Am Legend, Robert Neville is portrayed as, and believes that he is, a hero. As what may be the last known, non-infected human left on the planet, Robert Neville does what he thinks needs to happen; he single-handedly kills Vampire-Zombies one by one in order to stay alive and to hopefully find other survivors. Although these actions may seem heroic; in the end, Robert Neville realized he had become the ultimate plague in the eyes of the rest of the remaining world (i.e. the living infected Vampire-Zombies). Matheson wants readers to know, even if you are acting in such a way you consider morally right, it may not agree with the rest of society’s morals. For the duration of the novel, readers become sympathetic for Neville and understand his actions for a person in such a dire situation.…

six years after his parents, George and Rebecca Latimer, had run away from slavery in Virginia. They were determined to be free and that their children be born on free soil. Because of his light complexion, George was able to pose as a plantation owner with the darker-skinned Rebecca as his slave. Shortly after arriving in Boston, Massachusetts, he was recognized as a fugitive and jailed while his wife was taken to a safe hiding place. The arrest was protested vigorously by the community. Frederick Douglass, a former slave who had escaped to Massachusetts several years earlier, and abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison spoke forcefully against the arrest. There was a trial, and the attempts to recapture George and return him to Virginia caused considerable agitation in Boston. When the trial judge ruled that Latimer still belonged to his Virginia owner, an African-American minister paid $400 for his release. Although free, George was still extremely poor, working as a barber, paper-hanger and in other odd jobs to support his wife, three sons, and one daughter.…

Distinctive voices are an imperative device of language as there are various types and functions of voices in texts. The way language is used to create voices in texts and to show how it is used to express the interpretation and to shape the meaning of distinctive voices, I will be using examples from crime fiction text, “The life and Crimes of Harry Lavender” by Marele Day, which both supports and subverts the traditionally male hard-boiled detective through inferential choices of language. I will be focusing on the distinctive voices of Claudia Valentine, and Harry Lavender. My related text is Hitler's Proclamation to the German Nation in Berlin which was orated on the 1st of February, 1933, which shows the depth of his obsession and the power of self-delusion.…

Robert Neville is the last man on Earth, but he is far from the last living being. It has been several years since an unknown plague covered the Earth and seemingly wiped out every human. But those humans that died did not stay dead, and have now returned to life as vampires, thirsting for human blood. By day, Robert goes through a strict routine to fortify his home with mirrors, garlic, and nailed-up boards, and hand making the endless amount of stakes needed for his other daily routine — vampire slaying. By night, Robert sits in his home, listening to classical music and drinking himself to sleep while vampires stumble around and call for him to come out.…
A popular trope seen in literature is that of history repeating itself; the first generation affecting the actions of the next. It is a worthy question to ask how far thus influence goes for the second generation. These are topics frequently brought up with the novel by Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights. The novel deals with the interactions between the residents of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, specifically the relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff and the issues that arise from it. In this case, the relationships and personalities of the adults, Catherine Earnshaw, Heathcliff, and Edgar Linton, are mimicked with their children, Catherine Linton, Hareton Earnshaw, and Linton Heathcliff, but only to a certain extent. At first,…
