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 😏😏

Ouija Board - America's Fascination with the Occult



America has been a religious center ever since it was founded. The church controlled every aspect of life such as taxes, education, and criminal justice. The Salem Witch Trials proved to be the start of Amercia's Fascination with the Occult. People realized that they weren't the only ones in the Universe

 

The Ouija Board allows you to contact supernatural entities. A person would use a planchette to contact the spirit and recieve messages such as yes , no , goodbye and even sentences. It has an alphabet, numbers, yes, no, and goodbye.



 

Over the years people have been fascinated with Ouija boards and they were sold by Hasbro. Religious Centers and people outlawed Ouija boards because they knew the dangers of contacting evil spirits. Many churches warn against using the toy, and they were even burned in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Occultist banished the board from their homes and communities.



So whatever your belief may be, just know that many people have faced severe depression after using the Ouija Board. America finally realized that many things shouldn't be bothered, and thats Evil Spirits. Be cautious about what you do and Don't Ever Use A Ouija Board

Ichabod and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame - The Similar Anti-Hero

The Hunchback Of Notre Dame and Ichabod Crane are both humiliated throughout their life. They're presented as ugly and unwanted, but they both chased their dream girl. This proves the Anti-Hero characteristic of both Ichabod and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.


Ichabod Crane and The Hunchback of Notre Dame was both presented as "Ugly" , The Hunchback had a huge hump on his back, and Ichabod had a wierd shaped head with a slim body figure. However, this doesn't stop them from chasing their goals and pursuing the woman of their dreams. Ichabod yearned for Katrina and The Hunchback wanted Esmeralda.


Ichabod and The Hunchback were humiliated in their town, Ichabod was humiliated and left a party terrified and came into an encounter with the headless horseman, and The Hunchback was unfortunately humiliated by the entire town by taking tomatoes to the face. You can guess that their self-esteem wasn't the best, but they both were willing to go the distance for their desires.


To conclude this comparison, neither Ichabod or The Hunchback Of Notre Dame got the girl. They both remained single. Ichabod vanished and The Hunchback never gained the love he wanted. Esmeralda ended up marrying her knight and shiny armor Captain Phoebus. You can use your imagination to find out what happened to Katrina.
I Got Her. WASSUP?

Where that scary cat Ichabod go?


HOPE YOU ENJOYED.
