    Shadow of the Vampire Essay

    Both Stoker’s Dracula and Mernau’s Nosferatu have been used to create a new text, with its own concerns, the new text being shadow of the vampire, and its concerns being that it needs to appeal to a postmodern audience. Shadow of the vampire is a new text representing new elements that resonate with a contemporary, post modern audience. Various elements of the gothic mode for example vampirism, immortality, sexuality, and the shadow motif have been appropriated, also Intertextuality is created through the use of real Nosferatu footage, and re-enactments of Nosferatu in order to appeal to a postmodern audience.…

    Vonnegut's Literary Criticism

    In Perry Westbrook’s literary criticism on Kurt Vonnegut, Westbrook states that Vonnegut emerged as one of the most influential and provocative writers in America during the 1960s. He supports this point by using examples of stories written by Vonnegut and giving a summary of each story he provides. Westbrook also talks about recurring ideas and themes in Vonnegut’s stories and Vonnegut’s ideals.…

    Lincoln, the Movie

    At the beginning of the movie we see Lincoln talking to two African Americans who served in the war, and they went on to say that they loved his speech and one of them even quoted the end of his speech. This movie shows us how much we need rescuing. According to Spielberg, Lincoln and his contemporaries debated the moral merits of ending slavery now or ending the war now. Lincoln was gaining and losing votes. People are looking at it as this: if African Americans are given rights then women are next and people do not want that. A man had said that if we give African Americans the freedom then they are going to want more. Lincoln does not know that there are bribes being made in order to get 20 votes from the representatives. Lincoln is trying his hardest to keep going. Not only is there this problem but family is getting in the way.…

    The Real Vampire in Shadow of a Vampire Essay

    In the title, Shadow of a Vampire, you already see foreshadow for what the movie will be about; vampires and shadows come to mind and the movie do focus on those aspects, but what comes to mind for me, is a new kind of monster, a monster described as just a “shadow of a Vampire”. In this movie, you are not only introduced to a Vampire, whom later on you have feelings similar to pity for him, you are also introduced to this man, just a human man, who wants to make a film all about Nosferatu. But with this man, you do not sympathize or have any feelings for him. In the original works of Dracula and Nosferatu, it was always the vampire who was the villain, but in this movie, it was actually the director that had more monster-like qualities. We even see a whole scene of him in a cabaret club in the very beginning to wisp away any open-mindness we have for all characters. It also sets the mood, which is that for an environment which can shadow any “vampire” and also for the time period of the movie. The theme of drugs is displayed also, with the cat in the beginning, and the lady in the end, both alike in the way that drugs were used to make both docile by the same person, the director, Murnau. The man is seen as the real monster, although not in the very beginning, but you can start to see some foreshadowing hints already, because he does not see people as people, and only as tools to get what he wants and that is just as bad as a vampire who sees people as food, and ways of getting blood to survive off of, except Murnau does not need, technically, “film” to survive, but it is what he wants. He needs people for their skill, and for no other attachment. When a person walks in on his shot for an emergency, he yells how a “native” just walked in. Like he is a vampire calling her a human. When Nosferatu attacks his screen writer, the director does not care that the man is dying; only that he has to find another one. He even bargains the life of the girl, Greta, to…

    Abraham Lincoln Legacy Essay

    From the very beginning, President Lincoln was faced with an insurmountable challenge. The nation he now ruled over, the United States of America, was thrust into civil conflict a mere month after his inauguration on March fourth, eighteen sixty-one. However, he handled the situation unbelievable well, greatly due to his acceptance of the fact of war, as he knew it would be the only way to eventually completely preserve the Union (Stone 44). To this day, Abraham Lincoln has become a lasting historical legacy not only for his presidential and political occupations but also for his outstanding and unexpected contributions and leadership during the American Civil War. All throughout the conflict, President Lincoln stood firm to his war plan of reuniting “moderate elements in the country in a just, harmonious restoration of the Union,” (Donald…

    Abraham Lincoln: Is It Fictional Or Fact?

    How accurate is Lincoln? Is it fictional or facts? Well, to be honest we can’t just base our judgment based on a Hollywood to say whether it’s fictional or facts. Any movies that matter of facts will have some added dramas or fictional to it to make it interesting or appeal to the audience or just for pure propaganda reasons. Personally, I do not believe everything I watch or hear, I usually check with the other sources and historical documents and above all I go with my own God given judgement.…

    The First Vampire

    Ambrogio was a young adventurer. Born and raised in Italy, he had always longed to travel to Greece to have his fortune told by the Oracle of Delphi. When he was an adult, he got on a boat and sailed to the western edge of Greece, near Astakos. He traveled east until he eventually reached the city of Delphi. Delphi was home to a great temple of Apollo, the sun god. It was also the home of the Pythia, better known as the Oracles. The Pythia would sit in a chamber within the temple and speak of prophecies, inspired by Apollo, to those who came to seek the Oracle's wisdom. When Ambrogio finally arrived at the temple, he went to speak to the Pythia. The Pythia, whose words were often cryptic, said only a few words: "The curse. The moon. The blood will run."…

    Review Of Abraham Lincoln's 'Reputation Is The Shadow'

    Abraham Lincoln once said, “Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree.” This quote explains that our character is more than just what others may think of us, but it is who we are when nobody's watching. This means that having a good character is more than just being good around others, but being good because it is the right thing to do. I believe that to have a good character you must stay positive and always do the right thing. Throughout my life, I have gone through situations that have challenged my character. I went through periods where I wasn’t the best version of myself and I’ve gone through periods where I was better than I imagined I could be. This year is one of the good ones. I’ve learned that keeping a positive attitude not…

    Abraham Lincoln Assignment

    7 score and 14 years ago, Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United States. In the 1860 election Lincoln ran for president against Stephen Douglas and with his election he became the first republican president in the country’s history. Due to his policies on slavery, in slave states Lincolns name was not even on the ballot, but winning the electorate votes of the North was enough to win the election. By his inauguration seven Southern states had seceded from the Union. In April 1961 the U.S. fort Sumter in South Carolina went under siege by southern forces, thus beginning the American civil war. Lincoln’s goal became preserving the union at all costs. The Union army, led by Ulysses S. Grant, had a tough mission ahead as they were forced to fight an offensive war against General Lee and the confederate forces. Following the Union victory at Antietam, Lincoln felt confident enough to shift the cause of the war from preserving the union to abolishing slavery. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which freed all the slaves.…
