For my AP English term paper, we're writing comparison papers. I'm interested in reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, and I'd like to read a good example of a Gothic novel to compare it to (I understand Austen's book is a parody). Any suggestions for books with a similar plot line, or just an altogether good example of the genre would be appreciated. Thanks!

I found a fossil several years ago in Ohio, and I've just rediscovered it. I'd like to find out what it is, so where can I take it? Or if anyone has any insight on what it is, please let me know. I'd like to think it's some sort of tooth or claw, but it's hard to tell on the internet. I've provided pictures from a variety of angles. Thank you!

It involved teaching kids how to play nicely or something.. Anyone know what it's called? My mom can't remember.. I don't think it's the play along.. but I'm not sure. Thanks so much :)

3 AnswersHistory1 decade agoWould someone please edit my essay?
I have an essay due tomorrow on Romeo and Juliet (I picked my own topic). In my essay, I discuss how Baz Luhrmann (director of the 1996 film version) used scene and setting to mirror the characters' emotions. I would really appreciate it if someone would take the time to review it. I've been working on it for about a week, but if anyone has any pointers or thinks adjustments need to be made, I'll gladly take them into account. Thank you so much :)
it is fairly long.. please bear with me
In America, going to the movies is just as much of a pastime as baseball. Along with apple pie and Frank Sinatra, the family excursion to the movie theatre produces an unequaled joy. The buttery popcorn, the expensive candy, and even the crying babies are all too familiar. The best part is the feeling of settling into your seat right as a good film is about to start. Comedies, tragedies, romances, documentaries, and historical dramas are only a few of the many genres offered to movie-goers. Books and plays adapted to movies are always viewed with high expectations. Such is the case with the film adaptation of the Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet. In 1996, an Australian director, Baz Luhrmann, brought the 500 year old play to life on the modern silver screen. 12 years later and it’s still a sight to behold; a drama for the ages. Films that resonate with the audience are hard to find in this day and age, dramas especially. An Italian-American director, Frank Capra, sums up the experience of a drama when he says, “I made mistakes in drama. I thought drama was when actors cried. But drama is when the audience cries.” Romeo and Juliet is certainly a drama in which the viewers cry. Many aspects of the film draw audience members into the story. Creative costuming, captivating actors, and even descriptive setting all add to the general appeal. Baz Luhrmann’s use of setting portrays how the original Shakespearean characters’ emotions, such as anger, hatred, and despair, mirror the weather and venue at vital points in the development of the story.
A contributing factor to Mercutio’s death is anger; not only Tybalt’s, but Mercutio’s as well. Both characters were proud of their birthplace and skill, and were angered over insults. In the film version of the scene, a storm is coming in just as the fight begins. As the fight escalates, so does the storm. The storm’s growth reflects the anger building inside Mercutio and Tybalt. As Mercutio stumbles to the ground, dying as he struggles to the water’s edge, he repeatedly says, “A plague o’ both your houses” (III. I. 95.)! At that point, as his words express, he is overcome with anger and sadness. The winds pick up as he falls, symbolizing his dying strength. While watching, there is no doubt as to what is happening because of the expressive symbolism. In a way, the storm also represents Mercutio’s life as a whole. He was usually in a drunken state of rage, and even in his joking moments there was an underlying anger that was expressed on many occasions. In the eye of the storm that was his life stood his best friend and confidant, Romeo. The only thing that stopped Mercutio from destroying his life at an early point in his life was Romeo’s intervention. It’s interesting that the one person who could save Mercutio from his own destructive and angry behavior is the one who ended up spurring his demise. He was dying as he entered the fight, dying as the storm brewed, dying every day that his anger took control of his life. Mercutio’s entire life was one big fight; one big storm of emotion. Tybalt didn’t help this. In fact, he was a cause of Mercutio’s endless anger; Tybalt’s name is synonymous with trouble. The feud between the Capulet and Montague families was a large part of Mercutio’s life, and he was proud to represent the Montagues. Like Mercutio, Tybalt also represented his family, the Capulets, with pride. This clash of similar souls was doomed to end badly from the beginning; their clashing swords alike to the flashing lightning and booming thunder of the approaching storm.
Hatred is a recurring theme throughout the story of Romeo and Juliet, and it is the emotion that instigates Romeo to seek and destroy Tybalt after the death of Mercutio. The scene in the film is filled with raw emotion and symbolism. The depth of Romeo's emotions is expressed after he learns of Mercutio's death. He says, "This day's black fate on more days doth depend; this but begins the woe, others must end" (III. i. 126-127.). Here he embodies his intent to avenge Mercutio's death with the death of Tybalt. It is through his anger and impulsive nature that he decides to pursue him. While a rational person would think about the consequences, Romeo is so filled with hatred and anger that he let his emotions take control of his mind. In the film, this scene is portrayed as a car chase. The storm continues to brew after Mercutio’s death, and as th

I was watching Zeitgeist today and the ad they showed before every episode was an above the influence one. I haven't seen this one before, and was wondering where I might find it. There are 6 kids, all saying things that weed has done to them; stealing, getting bad grades, calling your ex-girlfriend, making your mom cry, letting people draw on you when you pass out, and leaving your friends. They all say it with a smile, and it's really a great commercial. I just haven't had any luck finding it anywhere to download. If you know where I can find this video, I would really appreciate it. I checked the website, but they don't seem to have it. Thanks so much :)
