Is it true that women who read vampire books (like Twilight) want a dominating (but respectful) alpha male?
Someone said to me that the reason why women read (obsess over) Vampire romance novels is because the Vampire is dominating and they love the women for the “right reasons” and don’t care about how they look (like real men would). The sex with these Vampires aren’t provoked by the women either, the women are almost raped by the Vampires as they are seduced and swept off their feet (if not “glammed”/hypnotized into having sex).
I read somewhere that in these books, they try to portray the Vampire as an extremely charming and fit gentleman that only survives through their hunt/desire for the woman. The women are normally your every day average women, typically really naive, and made NO effort to get the Vampire to like her (the ultimate woman’s dream, to be desired without the effort to become desired)…
What’s your opinion?
No, they aren’t stories… They are romance novels… They are about men that don’t exist and the fact that the woman is desired without any effort (which is very unlikely in the real world)…
Twilight is a love story, a love triangle even. I mean, who doesn’t want to be desired by two men?
HELP ME WITH LIT ELEMENTS IN THESE BOOKS PLEASE?
I’m taking the english regents in like two days. And I’m getting pretty damn nervous.
So sorry for all these request and question. I’m not even sure if it makes sense. But if you know something please tell me!! T___T
I’m desperate
Can someone tell me literary elements found in A tale of two cities by Charles Dickens, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and Lord of the flies by William Golding.
I have a couple of literary elements for all of them already. But I’d like to know some more. And can you give an example of it too?
Also – in Lord of the Flies – Can someone give me a little summary on Simon? I know its on sparknotes but I don’t really understand his place in the book. I know hes suppose to be good and stuff…
And also am I missing something here for jack? [I need help clarifying the parts with a **]
He gets annoyed that Ralph was elected leader
**then what happened in between that cause him to go hunt for a pig?
he chicken out when killing the pig for the first time
**what was his reaction and did he kill it after? How?
**Also the second time he went hunting how did he capture the pig?
I remember he captured the mother pig or something and then ripped the head off and put it on the spear. But i’m not sure.
Then he got savage and stuff
killed simon and piggy and tried to hunt down Ralph

i have a lot of “books” in my head that i made up myself but idk how to express them in the 8th grade. tips?
i made up a lot of stories. i even have a 7-book series about a bounty hunter stored in my head. i have a lot more too. one is about a man who equips his house with loads of weaponry and defense to hide from the government, with no way in, no way out. i call it “fortress”. yeah pretty brief. another is about a group of teens that got stripped of their emotion and basically turned into indestructable robots, with the same appearance as a human. one of them escaped before their emotion was taken away but he’s still indestructable, and towards the middle you realize that escapee was the main character. i named it “Perfect”. My last one isn’t action, it’s about people that paint on the walls of an abandoned subway tunnel to ease the stresses of life away. i call it “NY tunnel painters.” now my favorite, the bounty hunter series “Bounty”, is made of 7 books: Bounty, Bounty: Masked Accomplice, Bounty: The Parallel, Bounty:(TBA), Bounty: Darkman, Bounty: The Steel Army (subject to change) Bounty: Cyanide, Bounty: Death Ray. All about a bounty hunter that actually only hunts in the first book, who lives in las vegas (las vegas gets destroyed in the last one). Cyanide may be a little dissapointing, for the main character sort of turns into a monster type thing when he falls asleep, and doesn’t know it. please give me some feed on this, and tips on how to express it. thanks.
ps sorry it was so long
