The Vampire Diaries Review
The Vampire Diaries Review

The story centers around a girl named Elena Gilbert, a high school girl who is torn tremendously between two brothers, Stefan and Damon Savatar. Elena becomes romantically involved with the younger of the two brothers, Stefan. She soon finds out that Stefan is a vampire. At first she is freaked out, then she begins to accept Stephan for who he is, which is a kind vampire. Elena’s best friend Bonnie is a witch who can miraculously perform witch craft spells in order to mostly protect her friends, and on occasions she has worked with the Savatar brothers to keep the bad vampires away from Mystic Falls. As the seasons continue, a blast from the Savatar brothers past comes back. Kathryn, who is a vampire who is also Elena’s descendant, who also looks exactly like Elena then stirs up trouble as well as tries to kill Elena several times. At the time of Kathryn’s return word gets out that there are now werewolves in Mystic Falls. The story behind that is that on full moons only the werewolves will turn into scary werwolves. When the werewolves turn their bite can be extremely fatal to vampires, meaning their bite will kill a vampire. The vampires and werewolves then fight to get a moonstone that is known to break the curse, but if a vampire breaks the curse they are free to walk around in the sun light but the werewolves will only be able to turn on a full moon. If a werewolf breaks the curse they will be free to turn at any time and the vampires will be doomed to darkness.
The Vampire Diaries Is very similar to the twilight movies. Both contain blood sucking vampires and big werewolves. Both movies involve a human girl who falls in love with a vampire. Both also have two people fighting over the same girl. The differences between the Vampire Diaries and the Twilight Saga is that the vampires in the vampire diaries can’t go out into the bright sunlight or they will burn unless they have a certain ring that allows them to go into the sun

    First, in terms of story, The Lord of the Rings provides an epic story of good versus evil. The very fate of Middle Earth is at stake: will it remain a land of free people, or will it be subjected to slavery under a dark lord? From the very beginning of the series, The Lord of the Rings establishes a very clear struggle that will affect an entire continent (and possibly lands beyond). In contrast, the stakes in the Twilight Saga are never much higher than the personal lives of the main characters. Granted, for Bella, Edward, and Jacob, the outcome of events may be life and death (so they are very important to them personally), the issues before them are not likely to affect people outside of the small town where the action takes place. On the…

    These rules are also applied in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and some others are devised in order to enhance storylines. This would associate Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the horror genre, although there is more to the show than vampires: there are situations involving teenage angst (especially in the given episode, because it deals with the consequences of Buffy running away from home). Some people have likened Buffy the Vampire Slayer to a hybrid of Dracula and Beverly Hills 90210, which might be an accurate description ¡V the show does contain elements of a horror movie and tries to include situations experienced in a teenage soap (the characters attend high-school and experience friendship and love).…

    Ambrogio was a young adventurer. Born and raised in Italy, he had always longed to travel to Greece to have his fortune told by the Oracle of Delphi. When he was an adult, he got on a boat and sailed to the western edge of Greece, near Astakos. He traveled east until he eventually reached the city of Delphi. Delphi was home to a great temple of Apollo, the sun god. It was also the home of the Pythia, better known as the Oracles. The Pythia would sit in a chamber within the temple and speak of prophecies, inspired by Apollo, to those who came to seek the Oracle's wisdom. When Ambrogio finally arrived at the temple, he went to speak to the Pythia. The Pythia, whose words were often cryptic, said only a few words: "The curse. The moon. The blood will run."…

    The book EverLasting by Alyson Noël and the T.V show The Vampire Diaries share many similarities and differences. I focused on the characters from both texts and now they related to each other. Everlasting is about two friends who get back together after hundreds of years. Ever and Damen fight against deadly enemies to stay together. In The Vampire Diaries, two vampire brothers named Damon and Stefan try to save their town, Mystic Falls. They come across different vampires and witches but have to try to keep their citizens and friends safe.…

    Perhaps the most obvious signal that the two texts are related can be found in the beginning of Twilight when Meyers inserts a quote from Romeo and Juliet. To begin with, each story has similar romance scenarios: Shakespeare presents two teenagers falling in love while being forbidden to have anything to do with each other because of their families feuding. Meyers has two teenagers fall in love, although their problems with their relationship result not because of family feuds, but because of race in a very nontraditional way. Juliet is a Capulet while Romeo is a Montague; Bella is a human while Edward is a vampire. The relationships end in their own separate ways: Romeo and Juliet die, Edward and Bella continue on with their lives although their relationship, and possibly their lives, are at stake and in question. Despite the similarities of the circumstances of the relationships and the difference in their endings, the readers of these two works will benefit most from comparing the main characters of each. Through these comparisons, the readers can better understand each relationship and their importance beyond the text they are created for.…

    The classic vampires are much different from the modern vampires of today. The classic vampire would rise from his coffin and stalk the night, looking for human blood. The vampires need for blood was undeniable and constant. They were known as horrible and vicious killers, and scared away by the smell of garlic. The only way they could be destroyed was by sunlight, decapitation, religious icons, or a wooden stake through the heart. Their only use for humans was as food .On the other hand,…

    The wolves, in this story, are shrouded in mystery. When they first enter the story, no one is quite sure what they are. Once the father realizes what they are, he immediately goes looking for them but then discovers something far worse than the wolves. They had taken his daughter’s life. The pack is uncontrollable and wild much as fate is. No one can decide exactly what will happen in their life, and no one can control a wild pack of wolves. In many ways, the wolves are likened to fate in the sense that they can take lives or even control them. Many people have a fear of wolves, the pack could end up destroying a village through terrorizing attacks when it has became so desperate. They are savage, vicious animals with nothing to control them but themselves.…

    Explore how far the 'Vampire Diaries/Being Human/Misfits' DVD cover conforms to genre conventionsIn this essay, I will be analysing the DVD cover of the 'Vampire Diaries' which is a television programme in the teen-supernatural hybrid drama genre. I will also be analysing the covers of 'Being Human' and 'Misfits' and I will compare and contrast them with the 'Vampire Diaries' cover. The typical genre conventions of supernatural dramas are that there are supernatural beings such as ghosts. Werewolves and vampires, and 'ordinary' setting, a trigger/event that leads to the creation of supernatural beings. 'Ordinary' people becoming supernatural or finding out about supernatural beings, and the running theme which is good vs bad. On the front of the…

    True Blood Vs Twilight

    • 1029 Words
    • 5 Pages

    While Meyer’s story revolves around teenage angst, True Blood caters to a more mature audience by giving them heaping doses of adult content, like: sex, violence, and tons of blood. By True Blood integrating vampires into a modern-type society, it allows the show to tackle things that are normally controversial like racism, segregation, and religion. In contrast, Twilight simply keeps vampires hidden away from the human race, spending most of their budget on special effects and young, attractive actors, serving to the youth culture. Twilight strains its ability to genuinely connect with the audience by having one of the main characters, Bella, narrate the movie from a first-person perspective, limiting the audience to her emotions and point-of-view. Although Sookie Stackhouse is the main character of the story, the plot is not limited solely to her perspective; True Blood makes sure that there is plenty of time spent developing the other main characters’ story lines that solidifies the show’s strong ensemble cast that includes: Sookie’s younger, air-headed brother Jason, her strong best friend Tara, Tara’s gay cousin Lafayette, Sam the bar-owning shapeshifter, and Eric the…

    Vampires vs Werewolves

    • 1834 Words

    Don’t get me wrong I respect all monsters. While I do believe vampires have a total advantage over werewolves there are many great qualities to being a werewolf. One is that they can walk in the sunlight and live “normal” lives among humans; at least the most normal they can be. If a werewolf has control over its curse it can have friends and family. Werewolves can have children, but they must know that the Werewolf gene can carry on to their children so precautions must be taken when choosing to have offspring.…
