The passage begins by alerting the reader of the she-wolf’s death, witnessed by a man referred to by “he”. In the second paragraph of the passage, the man makes a fire, which is supposed to get him through the night. Contrary to the darkness, the light of
After the dragon’s bright glow subsided Arboreous opened his eyes only to find a beautiful woman in the dragon’s place with hair as crimson as the flames from a dragon and eyes so bright that no man could look directly into them without losing his sight. Arboreous then steadily walked up to the beautiful yet mysterious woman staying cautious not to let his guard down not even for a moment and the woman just standing there, watching closely, seeing what Arboreous next move would be. Arboreous suddenly stopped, about a single arm length from the beautiful woman and asked her, “What is your name?” The beautiful woman replied “Aaliyah.” Arboreous soon realized that that he could not bring himself to take Aaliyah’s life even if she was a fearsome dragon, so Arboreous told Aaliyah why he had come to her lair and what he was going to do, but also that he could not bring himself to hurt such a beautiful
A beautiful raven hair girl looks sternly into the eyes of the demon as the demon launches an attack against her. A single rose drops beneath the demon’s feet halting him as he stands. “Your end is now beast! With Fire, Love, and Beauty perish into the light of good!”
Down a long, empty corridor, the clopping of armored hooves reverberated off the cold stone walls. The heatless flames that clung to the withered wood of the torches dimly painted all that was near them a ghastly shade of blue as they radiated their perpetual light, illuminating the path. The atmosphere grew more and more claustrophobic with each step, the darkness seeming to wrap around the pony’s throat in an attempt to strangle the life out of her. This continued for what could have been a few minutes or possibly even hours or days, the hall was so long.
In order to succeed in any English class, a students needs to be a proficient reader, where they can both understand the story and find the literary devices the author uses. Usually when I read story, I can blatantly identify the author’s techniques to writing, and the overall purpose of the piece. However, this is not always the case, and I can admit that. There are numerous areas in my reading habits where I can improve to read more efficiently. After examining multiple “How to Read” articles from multiple colleges, I will engage literature at a relatively high level and apply what I learned into reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
For once in her life, she was filled with both adrenaline and fear. Within the next few moments, the roaring stopped as she searched for a window to peer into. Astonished at the sight before her eyes, she knew she needed gather up as much courage as possible to finish her plan. In the prince’s place, she saw a large beast pacing back and forth. It was as if one of the dangerous creatures from one of the books she has read has come to life.
She shivers a little bit, more, when she’s trying to reach the doorknob. The moment she turns it, a light strikes her mind. An image of a man appears in front of her eyes. That, a strangely familiar man, stops her for a while. She gazes into the blank air space; sometimes, reaches out to grasp something; her eyes are eerily wide big opened.
Its eyes were black as night, grey ridged marks like tear streaks under its eyes. The animal’s mouth went all the way down the length of its unusually long neck, and on its shoulders sprouted immense wings. Its hind legs and part of its tail were covered in what looked like tar. The light Eric saw was emanating from the creature itself. It twitched one long, tufted ear and glared down at him, shifting one huge paw.
All that was left was a shape that resembled me. My soul had been invaded—and devoured—by a black flame” (Night). This is proof that you will need to remember the painful memories, as well as the peaceful
In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein spends two whole years toiling to create a being which is comprised of the body parts of various dead corpses, for the purposes of science. Finally, he creates the “monster”, who commits a multitude of crimes, resulting in the deaths of many innocent people. These horrific murders raise many questions concerning who is to be held accountable. Victor walked away from the situation he created instead of facing his actions. If he had chosen to stay this could have prevented the heinous crimes committed by the monster as a result of Victor’s mental and emotional Neglect.
This Mother of All Monsters had given the world a reprieve from her destructive presence for barely two hours when she was jolted into consciousness by her primal warning senses. She spun swiftly from the shadows, hoping to glimpse, through the thick black water, the perceived threat to her safety. Her powerful scarlet eyes cut through the haze of silt and decay suspended in the water and focused upon the faint outline of a man sinking towards her. Although she could dispatch fifty warriors with a mere flick of her powerful arms, the approaching figure sent a jolt of fear coursing through her body. An ancient fear was awakened within her, a jealous brother’s fear of an angry God.
Misaki's amber eyes glowed in the night as he moved silently through the underbrush. The air was chilly but the sky was clear; allowing the moon to shine brightly in silvery slivers through the treetops. The sounds of crickets and other night creatures could be heard in the distance as they commenced their nightly ritual. Through it all, Orihara remained focused on his task as he made sure to keep his steps light and soundless. Though he was in his human form, the teen's body still picked over the landscape as easily as if he were in his wolf form.
In 1818 Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, a novel that follows Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious man on his journey to defy the natural sciences. In Volume I of the novel, Victor discusses his childhood, mentioning how wonderful and amazing it was because of how his family sheltered him from the bad in the world. “The innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by heaven, whom to bring up to good, and whose future lot it was in their hands to direct to happiness or misery, according as they fulfilled their duties towards me” (35). When Victor brings up his childhood, he suggests that parents play a strong in how their kids turn out, either "to happiness or misery" (35). In particular the main character was sheltered as a child to achieve this “happiness” leading to Victor never developing a coping mechanism to the evil in the world.
The girl tensed as she moved, watching her carefully, keeping a keen eye on her surroundings. Moving slowly, the woman removed her outer layer, revealing a thin frame. An equally thin, graceful hand reached out towards the girl. She growled as it approached, bristling in response. But as it hung there in the air, unmoving, she cautiously sniffed at it.
