I Live with you - Analysis

I live with you was a crazy weird story. I recently had just watched Parasite and it reminded me a lot of the plot in that movie. The narration is strange it also reminded me of the show You on Netflix which I despise. I have to say this short story is creative but I hate the narrator. The story basically did its job and made me feel uncomfortable.

Interview with the Vampire Insights

"What a picture he made of her, the infant death, he called her. Sister death, and sweet death; and for me, mockingly, he had the term with a sweeping bow, Merciful Death! which he said like a woman clapping her hands and shouting out a word of exciting gossip: oh, merciful heavens! so that I wanted to strangle him." This quote struck me because it is an interesting dynamic considering Louis's relationship with Lestat. When another character that is dependant upon them is brought into the mix, the relationship grows in an unexpected direction. Firstly, Louis's disposition towards life at the beginning of the story is already very low. He lost his family, now he has nothing to live for. Enter Lestat, now he has to live forever. Thus, Louis is pissed. Not only does he have eternal life, but eternal life with someone who provokes him and has an alternate set of morals that does not mirror Louis's own. The drinking of blood is something Louis does not ever want to

The Martian Analysis

What I really enjoyed about The Martian is the style of narration from the perspective of the main character of the story, I can really get engaged into my reading when the character is having a conversation with the reader. I really enjoyed this reading because of how easy it is for me to latch onto the conversation. "If the Oxygenator breaks down, I’ll suffocate. If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, I’ll die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, I’ll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I’ll eventually run out of food and starve to death. So yeah. I’m fucked." The casual way the story starts is super great and funny. I love a story with a character who is a bit cynical yet slightly optimistic because they except their fate so they are going to make the best of their situation and be as sarcastic as possible. This story really pulls me in because I'm used to seeing very complex science fiction situations and I just lose interest from all of the complexity withi

The Corn and the Spring Queen - Witches Analysis

What I enjoy most about witches is when they bring pagan rituals into the story. The title screams pagan. Some rituals like this can be twisted because they benign but then they end up being terrifyingly brutal. For example, MidSommar is sort of an example of that. Then there is also Sabrina, they have some weird traditions that they keep in touch with that seems less satanist and more pagan (EX. moon bathing under the Hare moon.). Then there is also this extreme nod towards Greek mythology within this book. As a huge fan of greek mythology myself, I found this to be quite entertaining. However, Greek blood is not helpful towards being a witch which is weird because Circe is one of the first witches and she comes from Greek myth. She is a daughter of Helios who is a Titan so her being a witch is of great controversy among the gods and goddesses. Otherwise great a read.
