Prom Night from Hell - Corsage
The types of children that are in the story are not your typical high school kids, who like hang out and have fun. They are all so different, between being a vampire, a vampire slayer or just simply looking for love, and will do anything to get it. The girls are all about getting that perfect romantic boyfriend. Meanwhile, the boys do not even know where to start.

The significance of the rose corsage was the fact that it was the piece that girls use for such events like prom, which is where Frankie wanted Will to ask her too. Another significant part was that it was not just any normal; boring wrist corsage but it was a magic corsage where you only get three wishes out of it. Almost like a genie in a bottle, except for the fact that nothing too good resulted when you used it to make a wish.

The fortuneteller did not really seem like she wanted to specifically tell them what her three wishes were. Giving them the hint that she did not have much luck with her wishes, asking them if it looked like she needed anymore wishes. She had mentioned that a peasant French woman had casted a spell upon the corsage and she had 3 wishes and her 3rd wish was for death. The fortuneteller had warned them about nothing good comes from the wishes you making by saying “But I’m telling you, no good will come out of it.” So she had made it obvious that she had had a bad experience with her wishes.

There are vampires, vampire slayers, fortunetellers, evil scientist and a corsage that grants your wishes. This story is very well a modern day fairytale. From casting spells on objects, to having the perfect prom date, even though she did not get the perfect from date hers was mangled and dead. The story has quite a bit of witchcraft involved, resulting in a modern day

    Early adolescence is one of the most confusing and challenging stages of childhood. It is an age that is too young to be grown, but too grown to be young. Adolescents feel as though they are of the same maturity level as the adults that they idolize, and quickly get frustrated when they are not perceived as such. Morrison and Bambara have written two, very easily relatable stories of a couple of girls who are stuck right in the middle of this very struggle. The characters Hazel and young Twyla bare resemblance in numerous ways. Both young ladies are very young, have very naïve views of the world, and have been disappointed by an adult in their lives.…

    There is something distinctly special about coming of ages stories. They empower our imagination and challenge our own understanding of ourselves. We desire and think that a character will, hopefully, make and act the same way we would, but more often than not they take us down paths we would never have considered. One such story: John Updike’s “A&P,” tells the coming of age story of a teenage boy who meets a group of girls that not only make him question his beliefs and force him to make a choice, but ironically those exact beliefs come back to bite him.…

    As an adolescent text, Cut, will appeal to young readers in that the character, the plot, the setting and the theme are believable, easy to understand and follow and most importantly, easy for the reader to relate to. This story has a young narrator/protagonist who guides us along the plot line through her thoughts and actions. We see 15 year old Callie, the main character, develop and grow as she learns to stop trying to be the adult and just be a kid. The settings and situations generate a genuine interest in the reader and are such that an adolescent can easily grasp the well defined theme. The descriptive detail easily puts a young reader in the scene like Callie’s description of the couch as a “…big bumpy overstuffed thing and when I sit back my feet don’t touch the floor.”(116).…

    Cinderella Summary

    Orenstein relates the connection of many people’s fantasies and ambitions of perfect marriages and relationships with the success of Hollywood’s own interpretations of Prince Charmings and Cinderellas. However, the interpretations were not based off of pure fiction. She points out the popular T.V. series “The Bachelorette” is a satire of the entire Cinderella Story and draws many people’s attention because this is what so many of them crave. Many people however do not realize that the actual fairy tales themselves from the late 17th centuries are not at all about cliche happy endings and romance. These tales incorporate harsh truths that exist in human nature such as jealousy, greed, lying and cheating. Orenstein uses these examples to awaken people about how much are expectations and desires of romance and marriage have been manipulated and twisted over the past three hundred years into something almost unimaginable and far from reality. She puts to rest one of the most common fairy tales Cinderella by explaining how one of the original authors, Perrault, based his story off of typical aristocratic marriages in the 17th century and not from some make-believe fantasy that he wanted to entice his readers with.…

    Since the eighteen century, vampire stories have played a strong role of popularity in literature and cinematic environments. The continuous changes of vampires have taken the vampire legend from something feared to something desired. Between Dracula and Twilight it has been over a hundred years. These two novels are a great example of vampire’s evolution. However, both novels have elements of narrative device, they are both written from multiple perspectives, and both were turned into a film. Although Twilight and Dracula are pieces of literature that share a vampire story, there are three important differences that characterize each one.…

    As the narrator describes the rosebush, he offers a rose to the reader “to symbolize some sweet moral blossom that may be found along the track, or relieve the darkening close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow,” (Hawthorne 42). This foreshadows the story will be forlorn. The rose is an offer to comfort the reader at the end of a disheartening novel. The rosebush also symbolizes life and beauty surrounded by a dreary world of sorrow. Outside of the prison door, the lively rosebush grows next to many weeds. This shows a truly beautiful flower can arise from a complete barren region. The rosebush is mentioned again later in the novel. At the governor’s house, “Pearl, seeing the rosebushes, began to cry for a red rose, and would not be pacified,” (Hawthorne 95). This carries over from the symbolism in chapter one. Although Pearl acts like a child of the devil, filled with darkness and mystery, she can be sweet and delicate by holding a single rose.…

    Joyce Carol Oates’ short story is a complete fiction in the sense that it utilizes all its elements without deemphasizing one for the other. Oates uses point of view, setting, conflict, character, and symbol equally well to convey her theme. Oates applies these elements of fiction to give readers a better understanding of the American teenager and to show how a girl is psychologically manipulated by predators.…

    Many of the concepts relate to psychology, and the fact that these kids are in the stage of adolescence. First off, one of the main concepts that I saw in this movie is that all of the kids showed the use of “false selves.” This is where an adolescent tell lies about themselves that they want people to believe so they think better of themselves, because “the other kids will never find out.” They lie a lot about their background and many other things such as their virginities which is a major thing in younger kids’ lives that decides whether they are a “prude” or a “slut.” Another concept that I saw, is the influence of peer pressure. These kids went through a lot of peer pressure in this movie including when the kids were talking about themselves, and wanting to know things about each other. One example is when the other kids, mainly Allison, pressures Claire to tell the others about her virginity. The final concept that I saw in this movie is the presence of a need for social acceptance. Many of these kids try to impress the others by telling lies and trying to act cool, whether it is John being a jerk to all the other kids, or Andrew bringing John to the ground to act cool. All of the kids somehow displayed their need for social acceptance. Overall I thought that this movie was a great…

    I prefer the more realistic portrayal of teens in The Vampire Diaries, which has teens who have sex and teens that don’t, instead of the obsessively-sexless world of Twilight. Although in vampire diaries like in Twilight both male vampires are afraid to get too close to the ones they love in case they “lose control”…
