The book Dolores Claiborne was intriguing and kept me interested throughout the whole book. From the beginning I loved the storyline. I also liked that it is one big story, there are no chapters. The only thing I didn’t like, was the way it was set-up. I found it a little confusing, but since I watched the movie, it made it a little more sense. Although it was a little bit confusing, I definitely recommend it.…

One of the best things about this book is how when u start to get bored with the book she brings you right back.

You can't put the book down it's so good. I can't wait to read the rest…
Ralph Emerson once wrote, "Talent alone cannot make the writer. There must be a man behind the book." Edgar Allan Poe acquired the ability to write Gothic horror through the tragedies that existed in his life. At three years old Poe lost his mother and father. Grief and sadness overwhelmed Poe's childhood and eventually his literary style. "By temperament and mournful personal experience, Poe was drawn into the contemporary cult of death" (Kennedy 111-33.) In his shocking and lurid tales of horror, "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," and "The Cask of Amontillado," Edgar Allan Poe reveals his obsession with death and suffering through the development of his characters and the shocking situations he exposes.…
The title of our zine is Fatal Femininity, which brings artistic awareness through poetry, comics, beautiful song lyrics, artwork, and empowering words from famous women. What we want our readers to know about our zine is that it strongly focus on the empowerment of women and brings up the issues dealing with the conformity of women (i.e, how society tells us how we are supposed to act and dress).

As usual with Marissa Meyer, this book is great, even better than her last one. It really goes in depth into the villain of the series. Marissa Meyer does an fantastic job of making you pity, Levana, the villain. All Levana ever wanted was love, and she's never received it. Especially not from her family. Her craving for this drives her to do horrible things, such as killing her own niece. I was slightly surprised that she wasn't the one who killed Chanary, her sister.

The darkness in each poem is recognized as soon as the reader begins. A feeling of coldness and uncaring towards the lover is expressed in each poem. I can feel evil as I read each one. I can feel some type of hate and unrealistic love towards the woman. Each poem seems to be feeding off of some type of evil. The narrator in My Last Duchess seems as though he loves the women but seems a bit unclear on the reason she is gone and is not alive, almost as though he killed her himself. In Porphyria’s Lover the man did kill the lover who confessed her love to him. “In one long yellow string I wound three times her throat around, and strangled her. No pain felt she… “…
As a prosperous, admired poet, Sylvia Plath considered her obsession with death and her failure of self-repair as an art form that she expressed through poetry. Due to the continuous disloyalty resulting in betrayal that Plath received throughout her life she repeatedly designated herself the role as a victim in a majority of her poems. This gives evidence in saying that Sylvia Plath was a troubled woman trying to deal with her dark nature that is shown in several poems that she wrote, specifically the months leading to her death. This essay will discuss the increasing frailty up to the time of her death and how she became to accept her dark nature and use it to her advantage. Analysing three of Plath’s most heart wrenching poems that best…
