Cullen: A Fictional Narrative

“I’m fine!” they rushed out, forcing their eyes to meet with his. It almost stung. “I really am fine.”

Malessica kept her eyes closed. “I’m so sorry. You should really learn to keep your door closed.”

The 18th Amendment of the Constitution which prohibited the sell of alcohol was first proposed in 1917, and then would get approved 2 years later in 1919. One year later on January 17, 1920 the Amendment would start to be in effect. Even before it was passed over half of the country had already banned it. Publically many had denounced it yet privately almost everyone thought the decision would be one they would soon end up regretting. With this law now in effect, there ended up being a rise in crime due to a rise in bootlegging which is the transportation of alcoholic beverages. The government was starting to face a dilemma because there was still a demand to drink, but people had no other option aside from obtaining it illegally.

"You alright man? You were out for almost a week, and you were screaming in your sleep. Do you usually have night terrors like that? Or are you just traumatised from... Whatever the hell they did to you?" I managed to creak out a single word at last.

When people think of knights, they picture strong, brave, helpful, and selfless men. Gawaine le Coeur-Hardy of Heywood Broun’s “The Fifty-first Dragon”, despite being enrolled in an elite knight school, cannot be described as any of those. Instead, he is overall better described as fearful, insecure and dull. His unenthusiasm about learning any skills of the knight serves as a detriment to his character, causing his peers and teachers to think of him as lazy, a trait that I can somewhat relate to. Despite our one small similarity, Gawaine and I differ drastically in several ways. He is unintelligent, cocky, and gullible, whereas I am the complete opposite on all three accounts.

John is a moder Edward-Cullen-type fellow with pale skin, red eyes and a thirst for blood. All of those features were thanks to cakey makeup, colored contacts, and deep red fruit punch. John never discloses these things but, his normal skin tone often peeks through and his breath always reeks of medicinal cherry. He wears cheesy yellow and black bat-print t-shirts, black jeans, and an obnoxiously long black cape. He always has a pair of fake fangs that never fit quite right in his mouth and give him a thick lisp. John was lonely and had a longing for a Bella. He searches far and wide and believes he finds her in a girl-next-door type of character. Her name is Mary and she has blonde hair and bright blue eyes which she lines heavily with black

They finally let me out of there now my quest is to find a place to sleep,

The author allows Perceval to join company with Galahad only after learning the importance of virginity, asceticism, and faith in God and proving himself against a demonic serpent and the devil disguised as an attractive female temptress; since Perceval always requires the help of wise hermits to determine the significance of his adventures and visions, the author uses Perceval to introduce readers to the basic lessons of spiritual chivalry. Before Perceval learns these lessons, he is unable even to recognize Galahad, and he and Lancelot impulsively attack the Good Knight; however, Galahad easily defeats Lancelot and "drew his sword and smote Perceval so hard that he cut through the helm and mail coif" (80). Perceval soon encounters his insightful aunt, who explains to her bewildered nephew that he "could never withstand" (101) a battle with such a spiritually chivalrous knight as Galahad. She teaches Perceval that leading a spiritual life is a personal journey that requires complete devotion, even forsaking his own family, just as he did when he became a knight of the Round Table. Before bidding her nephew farewell, Perceval's aunt reminds him of the importance of his virginity by telling him, "this was most essential for your good…Therefore I implore you to keep your body as undefiled as the day Our Lord made you a knight, so that you may come pure and unsullied before the

What kind of qualities do knights have during the Arthurian time period? What kind of battles do knights go through? Gawain and Lanval go through many experiences on their separate quests to develop as a character. Both of these men deal with the supernatural and fight mental battles. Both are these men are tested on their chivalry manners as a knight; However, both of these knights differ in many ways as well such as their reputation, courtly manners, and loyalty. Throughout this paper we will see each character’s flaws, how they develop as a person, and reintegrate into society. Additionally, we will also see if each character is round or flat, static or dynamic, and if they are stock characters or not.

Poetry is often meant to be smooth, flowing, pleasing to the ear and the mind. To achieve this effect, many poets use different poetic techniques to help convey the meanings of their poetry. In the sonnet, 'Yet Do I Marvel' written by Countee Cullen, many different features of poetry is used. In this essay, I will discuss the relationship between the meanings and the theme Cullen tries to convey in his sonnet and the techniques of metaphors, both religious and non-religious, allusions to Greek mythology, different rhyme schemes and repetition that he uses.

“Yeah totally.” I tried to say bravely. Then she nodded her head and lead me into another room. It looked the same as the one we were just in.

The innovation of technology in America industrialization was just as big as building cities, due the mass amount of people immigrating in to America’s coasts. America had to find ways to house these people and make sure they had jobs.

“I just know that at that time I felt tired out, anxious, and furious. I screamed, trying to eject these feelings out of my system.”

Vampires have aroused a perennial fascination within humanity since their fictional materialization into history. However, it is over the course of the last century that these creatures have become an iconic symbol of mystifying horror and inexplicable desire. Recently, the vampire has undergone a significant reconstruction of physical appearance, behaviour, and surroundings, along with, extensive modifications to its super-natural disadvantages. These distinct character adaptations are imperative when considering two of the most notable vampires ever fashioned: Count Dracula and Edward Cullen. The dissimilarity between Bram Stoker’s 19th century, Count Dracula, and Stephenie Meyer’s 21st century, Edward Cullen, is a complex reflection of the contrasting societies from which these vampires emerged.
