Castle of the Creepers - Original Writing Dung, dung, dung, the clock tower screamed, the sound it let out was a catching tune, that filled the air for miles around, like the roar of a football stadium- the home team scoring. After the mysterious echo had vanished, a deadly silence loomed, deadly silence had fallen; the storm was just beginning to brew. The rich, silver-lined, 50p like full moon shone through the pitch black night sky, outlining the edges of the elderly castle. A misty, gray fog passed across the sky, twisting around the chilling, ice filled breeze, finally raveling itself like a fishing cord in a crows nest around the clock tower spear, creating an eclipse effect onto the musty, soggy old castle, the moon had then been eliminated. Across boggy dampened marsh and up the mountain side the silhouette of a proudly prince like stood wolf was clearly visible at such a distance, AWOO it cried to attract it's friends, then scent of humans rode across the winds, the humans had invaded wolf town. The chilling howl made Janice's, Tom's and Walt's neck hair stand on end; the fright of a hundred bats flapping their way out of the crevices in the old derelict castle made it lie back down, then, the school of bats worked their way across the baron land, their home disturbed by un-wanted guests. WOOO an owl hooted from a nearby tree, showing it's presence as part of the current neighborhood as it searched for it's meal, ideally a big fat field rat would fill it up, instead the most it could realistically hope for was a few mice. "This place spooks me!" Tom whispers, "Can we go now?" "Tom, could you please be quiet for a change my dear, all you ever do is whine, this time I'm not buying into it old chap," Janice explained, her huge brown eyes doubling in size with the rage of Tom's latest outburst. She still liked Tom as a friend but sometimes he was a bit of a pain. Walt standing seven feet tall said with no thought,

    Australia has the terrible condition of having an essentially pointless and prefabricated idea of “Aussiness” that really has no relation to our real culture or the way in which we really see ourselves. We, however subscribe to these stereotypes when trying to find some expression of our Australian identity. The feature film, The Castle, deals with issues about Australian identity in the 1990’s. The film uses techniques like camera shots, language and the use of narration to develop conflict between a decent, old fashioned suburban family, the Kerrigans and an unscrupulous corporation called Airlink. Feature films like The Castle are cultural products because they use attitudes, values and stereotypes about what it means to be Australian.

  • Poe's Fall of The House of Usher Essays: Suspense

    418 Words  | 1 Pages

    In "The Fall of the house of Usher," Edgar Allen Poe creates suspense and fear in the reader. He also tries to convince the reader not to let fear overcome him. Poe tries to evoke suspence in the reader's mind by using several diffenent scenes. These elements include setting, characters, plot, and theme.  Poe uses setting primarily in this work to create atmosphere. The crack in the house and the dead trees imply that the house and its surroundings are not sturdy or promising. These elements indicate that a positive outcome is not expected. The thunder, strange light, and mist create a spooky feeling for the reader. The use of character provides action and suspense in the story through the characters' dialogue and actions. Roderick, who is hypochondriac, is very depressed. He has a fearful apperance and his senses are acute. This adds curiosity and anxiety. The narrator was fairly normal until he began to imagine things and become afraid himself. Because of this, the audience gets a sense that evil is lurking. Madeline is in a cataleptic state. She appears to be very weak and pail. Finally, when she dies, she is buried in a vault inside of the mansion. In this story, the plot consists of rising events, conflict, climax, and resolution. The rising events include the parts in the story when the narrator first arrives at the house, meets Roderick, and hears about Roderick's and Madeline's problems. Madeline's death and burial are part of the conflict. At this point, Roderick and the narrator begin to hear sounds throughout the house. The sounds are an omen that an evil action is about to occur. The climax is reached when Madeline comes back from the dead and she and her twin brother both die. Finally, the resolution comes when the narrator escapes from the house and turns around to watch it fall to the ground. The theme that Edgar Allen Poe is trying to convey is do not let fear take over your life because it could eventually destory you.
