The Twists|winds In Harry Potter's Journey In Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

The month of July has started. People are seriously waiting for the time when, at last, the sixth part of the Harry Potter saga known as Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince will be released. There are two major reasons for its such a big promotion; one is that this most awaited and exciting movie of Harry Potter saga that has taken a long time to release, and second reason is the wonderful arrangement of exhilaration, suspense, mystery, and excitement in it.

Southern Gothic Writing In “a Rose For Emily” And To Kill A Mockingbird

Southern Gothic is an American subgenre of the Gothic style, which is probably most familiar to you from the Brontë sisters of Victorian England. (No, we’re not talking Hot Topic here.) Like its European progenitor, the Southern Gothic style relies heavily on the supernatural – only with less “O, Heathcliffe!” and more “Oh no, racism!” (Unlike Gothic novels, Southern Gothic novels are more interested in uncovering social crimes and injustices than being gloomy for gloomy’s sake.) Elements of the grotesque are also common to both genres, but can take the form of actual bodily gore or just extremely flawed characters that are somehow tolerable enough to remain interesting. (See also: “O, Heathcliffe!”)

Transience, Destruction, And Other Pick-me-uppers In “ozymandias” And The Great Gatsby

“Ozymandias,” by Percy Bysshe Shelley, is a poem about the “colossal wreck” left over from what used to be a fantastic empire. In the middle of a desert – we’re talking sand, sun, and then more sand – are the shattered stone legs and head of what probably used to be a pretty impressive statue of Rameses II (or “Ozymandias” in Greek, which just sounds way cooler). The inscription at the base reads, “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: / Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Which makes us giggle, since everything around the statue is totally empty for what looks like a 50-mile radius. (SOME – one – LOST – his – EMMMM – PIRE!!!)
