The "Third" Option

As children of this generations we are expected to keep the legacy going that our parents set; however, we tend to break off into our own legacy. Successful people tend to be independent and try to own their own living. This is the reason our world gets more advanced every generation.

There are ways we can still live our own life and spread our culture to create a more culturally diversed world. One way is to show appreciation of traditions because they have a deeper meaning whether people understand it or not. We must show respect for the people that came before us before we break off into our own destiny.

Parents should understand that not everyone especially their kids have similar dreams as them. So they must be supportive to allow them to go their own direction in life. This is a struggle that parents face because their so stuck up in what they want for their child life, but never considered what the child wants. Both should spoken but the children should have the final say in what they want in life. 

To conclude this idea, their indeed is a 3rd option in life. It just means that younger generations must show appreciation for the people who before them. It can be done and thats why our country will continue to grow and prosper with the young intelligent children that are born everyday.

Poe - The Horrific Writer

Edgar Allen Poe was an inspiration and start to many writers who write horror stories. Many scary stories today have House of Usher elements embedded within it. So its only fair that we pay our respects towards to the amazing author Poe.

The house of Usher feautured a few key elements such as setting, It describes the night as gloomy and dark with a miserable mist in the air. Already creates the dark horror scene.

The most important factor is the description of the house itself. It takes on a characteristic of a human being. Having its own seperate personality. Its a old house in almost perfect condition . That creates the question of how is the house managed


The description of Usher also created a horror tension, Usher being a sickly isolated man makes readers afraid to even mention the dude. Living alone? In a mansion? No wife, or kids? A spooky way to get the story going.

And finally we must pay tribute to the atmosphere. The atmosphere? Yes, simply because it magnifies the horror theme. The strong gust winds, dark gloomy night. The pure isolation accounts for the majority of the fear within the story.

Thats my post. Thank you 😏😏
