Sibling Horror Writing Assignment

1) I have the most amount of sympathy for Niles and Holland Perry because they are dealing with a death and an inability to cope. There is not fighting for power or greed. I have the least amount of sympathy for Mary Katherine and Constance Blackwood. Constance knew what her sister was, a murderer. She murdered her whole family and Constance didn’t do anything. Constance almost went to jail because of her sister.
2) I think Niles Perry is the most disturbed character. He is only disturbed because of his inability to properly grieve his brother’s death. However, this inability has led him to resurrect his brother Holland in his mind. It seems he began talking to nothing, but air; thinking its Holland. He didn’t kill or hurt anyone for a reason of money or power, but to keep his brother alive. I think Margaret De Lorca is the least disturbed character. She didn’t hurt anyone, physically, or murder anyone. She may be a horrible person, a gold digger, even a thief, but she is not mentally unstable.
3) Dean and Sam Winchester have a very dysfunctional relationship that was vibrant throughout their lives. They are brother who hunt monsters. Their mother was killed by a demon who put her on the ceiling and then on fire above sleeping Sam’s baby bed. They then went through childhood going from school-to-school living in crappy motels because the father was chasing down that demon and tools to kill it. When Sam tries to live a normal life and go to college, his girlfriend of the time dies the same way Sam’s mother died – on the ceiling, on fire, above sleeping Sam. Everyone they know or love has died painfully and they go in and out of hell like its Macy’s. They have deep psychological problems – daddy issues, mommy issues, intimacy issues, and another possible. They are disturbed because that is their everyday life and job.
4) In We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Mary Katherine and

    The youngest brother, Vardaman, is very sympathetic as well because he was traumatized when his mother died and he didn’t understand why his brother Cash was so insensitive and careless. We sympathize with Jewel because he is the result of Addie’s secret affair with Whitfield; which would make him the illegitimate child. He also requested to be left alone with his deceased mother for a few days. Last but not least Dewey Dell is one of the most sympathetic characters as well. She is the only daughter, the second youngest child, she is pregnant and she wants to get an abortion. Which leads to one of the least sympathetic characters, MacGowan. He tricked Dewey; he told her he was a doctor and gave her a bogus abortion in exchange for sex. The least sympathetic of the Bundrens is between Anse and Cash. Neither of them care about their family, Cash only cares about his work and they both showed no remorse when the Addie was dying. Instead of mourning, they couldn’t throw her in the coffin fast…

    The character Lucy. Just as with appearance being a mask, her character finally removes the shackles that bound her to her sniveling self. The Masquerade is finally broken. This story point and her progression from a member of the Pretty Ones to the loners and finally to the Sluts gang has I feel an overall enjoyable story arc. Her character has moved from the nice, shy one who would let every step over her without so much as lifting a fist in her defense, to the scary psychotic female who if she has a knife or even for instance in the book itself, a pencil, can and will murder anyone for a can of food. As the face ripping, intestinal shredding violence of the series is almost personified by this character and a few others. As well as Lucy the arc involving Will finally seemed much more fleshed out. In the first book he was more David's annoying little brother. In The Saints he grew from boy to man, quite literally actually. Lastly, I really enjoyed the ending. Those last few chapters were jam packed with action, gore, I'll-intentions, terror and mystery. Also in regards the end of the book takes the series violence to a new level, containing some face ripping, eye gouging, and blood rage. I read and partake of the horror genre like I drink water and even I found myself praising the author's skill at portraying gore in these…

    The character I dislike the strongest would be Elmer Foster. I believe he is uppity and lacks common sense. Although Elmer is the “man of the house” I disbelieve he wears the “pants” in the relationship between him and Elsie. I strongly believe Elmer likes to always present himself as right but mostly always is wrong. The event of the Fosters could have simply been avoided if Elmer wasn’t so pigheaded towards his wife. In the end Elmer comes to the conclusion that bad choices produce bad outcomes, and this was a bad outcome.…

    The most prominent is the main character Claudia Valentine. She is a private detective hired by the sister of the murdered man. Claudia is a contradiction to normal female stereotypes has the typical personality of a ‘hard-boiled’ male detective – traits like wit - “I mentally raised my eyebrows. If I ever needed an offsider Mrs Levack was the one… twelve cups a day. She didn’t miss a thing”, aggression - “you faint, I take you out and stick you under a cold shower then I bring you back in again. As many times as is necessary” and cynicism - “Hamburger Restaurant’ seemed to be a contradiction in terms but the place was definitely a restaurant and food hamburger. What they had in common was that both of them were plastic.”. Claudia is also quite cynical in relation to her opinion to Sydney. It is her home but she is realistic about her surroundings and quite easily becomes outraged by the moral corruption that occurs in plain sight. These traits are expressed through Claudia’s narration and her inner monologue. Claudia’s narration also tells us a lot about her profile. It allows us to make connections between who she is, what she does and how she sees the world around her.…

    When a new child enters the family, a special bond is created among all the children. Siblings are supposed to protect one another, support one another, and ally together against parents and the rest of the world. The bond that is formed with a sibling is nothing like any other relationship that you will have in your life. Siblings play a big role in each other 's lives and the death of a sibling can be the most traumatic event of one 's life. The impact of a sibling 's death can last a lifetime. Unfortunately, society often does not recognize the death of a sibling as a significant loss and many siblings are left alone in their grief. People tend to focus on the parents of the deceased or on the siblings nuclear family. Parents are often not very helpful in the process of sibling grief. Parents tend to be consumed with their own grief and often do not have energy for consoling the siblings of the deceased. Everyone will handle the loss of a sibling in their own individual way. Emotions following a sibling death are varied because families are unique, situations are different, and sibling relationships are ever-changing. No matter what, losing a sibling at any point in a life is a significant and very painful event. Greater awareness must be created in regards to sibling loss. This paper examines the effects that losing a sibling has on individuals in various stages of their lives. Hopefully, it will create greater awareness of sibling loss and the grief associated with it.…
