Interview with A Vampire

-

It is quite interesting to see in the beginning that there are only a couple of vampires and then there leads to be more and more throughout the journeys of each vampire. The interactions with each vampire are quite interesting because there seems to follow a pattern of death and travel with each one. That is pretty much death and deception. I say this because the first time we see it is when Louis and Claudia plan on killing Lestat. Why would they do this? It could be hatred toward Lestat for making her something she didn’t want to be. Another time we see this pattern is when Lestat comes back from the dead to kill them. This is number 2 for an attempt to kill because of spite possibly. The third time this happens is when Louise and Claudia move to another place but don’t like it. This time the pattern is to keep traveling. This continues on and on throughout the books. It’s almost like wherever they go, they are destined not to fit into a particular place or as it cursed for them to be at. We see this whenever they move to a new place. It seems this pattern repeats over and over.

Another characteristic I noticed throughout this book was that the vampires don’t seem to really care how they affect the person they are targeting or getting hatred for because they seem to be a little selfish. I say this because they are willing to kill and transform their loved ones for their own good. This is a pattern that seems to not bother them but I do see that it has dire consequences for each vampire that commits this pattern of tragedy. Either one leaves the other, someone gets killed, or betrayed. It’s a cycle that never seems to end like in the end where the boy packs up and wants to meet another vampire. I suspect that the cycle of patterns will continue because it is built into the vampire’s blood to do all these acts. They seem to have a love that is much different than humans.

The Night Circus

The Night Circus Play In this play we see that there is love which is forbidden but also favored. These are the main points through the play. It all starts out with Celia and Marco who are tied in love and they have a challenge ahead of themselves. However there is a always a struggle to maintain that love throughout the play due to the both of them having to concentrating and not breaking the rules. So we see that there is a pattern between the two main characters in terms of love because they both want to be in love but the competitions and rules are keeping them from doing that. So towards the end it is sort of like Romeo and Juliet where they both attempt to die together but with their spells they die together to live as spirts eternally. There is a spiritual challenge here and that is when the two characters do there best to be in love but through sneaky way. Along with moral issues, they both seem not abide to the circus’ rules and do whatever they please wh

Annihilation

Annihilation Something I think is weird about this film is the atmosphere for sure and the DNA that the dome has inside of it. What I mean by this is how the landscape is inside the dome where the volunteers go into to see what’s wrong. It is extremely colorful and has shapes and forms that are very unique. They form around the existing earth structure but eat away at it and forms its own nature. What I think is incredible is how the book talks in great detail about the color of the forms of the new landscape. This is the moss that covers everything. It has incredible neon colors that are so abstract to even imagine but very intense! The patterns that it creates and everything that it keeps inside of it is kind of gross but at the same time beautiful. It’s crazy because the new form that it creates is absolutely beautiful and very intrigue. The other crazy thing I think is weird is that this moss takes on the DNA of humans, and other living objects and kills it to

Akata Witch

Akata Witch In the beginning we see that there is a young girl who finds out she is a witch with the help of others. In terms of archetypes, I do think that this book resembles quite a bit of Harry Potter attributes. Such as the young girl having needing help to find out she is a witch other and in Harry Potter is also different from everyone else and Hogwarts help him get into the magic world. Sonny also builds some great friends while she is finding out who she is and what she is going to do with her magic. The same thing goes for Harry Potter he undergoes a ton of challenges finding out what his mission his and who he really is. In a culture of recognizing the need for female empowerment, Akata could have some ties with this idea in our day and age. With her struggle to find out how to use her powers to her best advantage and for others, the same is for women today.
