“He was a soldier, the head of a legion under Adramelech’s command,” Michael finally spoke taking his tone down a notch. “He will be again.” Alex thought to herself how this would be normally the part where she would let out her fake little laugh, letting the gentleman know how interesting she thought his bullshit story was. Then, she would encourage him to tip her by stating that she would love to stick around to hear the rest, but unfortunately her manager, Bert, only allows the girls to hang around affluent customers. “So then… if he was a soldier and not a man, what was he then?” Alex asked her stranger in a sultry voice. It was the voice she liked to put on at the club, her new game plan being to play this asshole …show more content…
“Adramelech is a commander in Lucifer’s army. He is also one of the seventy-two fallen ones.” “Fallen ones?” asked Alex. “When the bringer of light started acting impiously and tried to take the throne, a war began that continues to this very day. In the early stages of that war, Adramelech—an angel of light and all that is pure—took up arms against his creator. It was a foolish thing to do. After having been banished by Uriel, he retreated into darkness, only ever letting his light be exposed again in the form of sacrificing children. He burns them as a show of loyalty to his new king, the ultimate angel of light, Lucifer. “It was no coincidence that Rutlich was at that theme park that day. Falling under Adramelech’s command, he was out hunting, and there is no better place to find game than an amusement park. Its very existence is to draw in children, fill them with a false sense of security. They’ve become a hunting ground where danger and demons lurk at every turn. “That’s what Rutlich was doing there that day, looking for prey, but he found something better than that, he found your …show more content…
“Because of what she is,” he then said as he wiped a few drips worth of Scotch from his lower lip. “And what is she?” asked Alex. “A member of God’s army, she’s under the command of Zadkiel.” “You gotta start making a lot more sense, pal,” Alex shot back at Michael giving him a screw-faced look, her feisty sarcastic wit suddenly coming back to her. “She’s an angel.” “My sister is an angel?” Alex chuckled in disbelief as she cracked a smile that confirmed the same. “Angela?” Michael nodded, but said nothing. “My sister is no angel,” Alex huffed sounding incredulous—bitter. “Trust me. I grew up with her. We’re twins. She might be a little sweeter than me, but she can be a real bitch sometimes.” “If you want to save her from the fallen ones tell me, where can I find her?” Alex stood frozen as if studying Michael, and then her entire demeanor suddenly changed becoming bristle. “Alright, pal, you had your drink and you can take the bottle with you if you want, but I want you to get the fuck out of my house right
I strongly agree with Fromm’s viewpoints and interpretations of Orwell’s 1984 text. He warns that the future federal powers will dehumanize society and leave everyone alienated. Thus, I agree with Fromm to the extent that he acknowledges the fact that humanity can indeed cease to exist as a result of our own self-destruction as well as the effect of our actions. Many of his opinions and warnings expressed by Orwell to an extent appear in contemporary society.
The mercenary laughed. “I told you before Reinhardt. Such outdated virtues have no place in this world anymore. The only thing that matters is to get the job done, no matter the cost.”
His demeanor lifted for a brief moment as he recalled something, before shifting back to his previously interrupted, confrontational speech. “Worse still, you don’t even have a day’s experience in patrol, and you’re looking to
Alice looks down and said, “Oh yeah. If that’s what makes YOU happy,” and muttered under her breath, “You don’t even know…”
“As amusing as this been,” King Gabriel begins, cutting through the silence. “I’m sure you’re not here to ask me about my day,” he quips. “There’s a reason why your-”
“I’m not b-s-ing you. Their aim was high, and they hit a tree in the Bonus Army camp. Still, he was chased out by the cavalry.”
Aston placed a firm hand on top of hers as he scolded, “That’s enough of that. Now I want you to listen to me — and no arguments until I’m finished. You’re not dangerous, and you’re sure as hell not a snake, or a mass of them. You’re different now, so what-”
“Well beat cop, I was thinking you could poke around at with some of the people who know acting as if you are looking for the dairy for a superior and I will go to the one person that is better at tracking than me.”
To begin, Alex is one out of the four characters that reveals self-awareness broadly. Alex begins by stating, “What’s it going to be then, eh” (Burgess 1). The use of this quote explains to the reader that Alex is not only self-aware of himself, but he is careless, and he is an outlaw. Another quote that Alex states throughout the novel is, “O my brothers” (Burgess 5). “O my brothers” reve...
"Patroclus," Achilles started, his voice notably low and serious in comparison to the cheerful tone it had been just seconds before. "Do not move."
“well this isn't what I'm used to” I said, grabbing a box of beer and setting it off the side and took them out the box “ so Percy who was that girl you were talking to ?” Tyler asked I frowned “ that was my ex girlfriend Annabeth. She wanted me to come back home with her, but I told her I couldn't ” I said
When George Orwell’s epic novel 1984 was published in 1949 it opened the public’s imagination to a future world where privacy and freedom had no meaning. The year 1984 has come and gone and we generally believe ourselves to still live in “The Land of the Free;” however, as we now move into the 21st Century changes brought about by recent advances in technology have changed the way we live forever. Although these new developments have seamed to make everyday life more enjoyable, we must be cautious of the dangers that lie behind them for it is very possible that we are in fact living in a world more similar to that of 1984 than we would like to imagine.
Authors often use their works as a way to express their own opinions and ideologies. However, it is the skill of the author that determines whether these ideas are combined with the plot seamlessly, making a creative transition of ideas from the author’s mind, to the reader’s. There is no doubt that George Orwell is a masterful writer, and one of his most popular works, 1984, clearly expresses his negative views of the Totalitarian government. A common theme in the dystopian society in 1984 is betrayal: The Party is very intolerant towards any form of disloyalty, and anyone who plots against them or Big Brother will eventually either betray their own mind and accept Big Brother as their leader, or be betrayed and revealed to The Party by one of their so-called comrades. Overall, Orwell is using this constant theme of betrayal to show how alone and alienated the protagonist (Winston Smith) is in his quest against Totalitarianism, thus showing how flawed and hopeless the political system is.
“She is so pissed.” Petra snorted. “Locked herself in the bedroom to hunt for this super hacker. You know she has this whole I’m-better-than-thou thing going, right?”
“I know I’m the reason for her death. Those hunters were after me, not her. It’s this goddamn curse. If I hadn’t known, if I hadn’t screamed and realised. I- I wouldn’t have rushed all the way to that house to make sure she was okay. They tracked me. She had nothing to do with it. If I wasn’t there she still would be. And now I can’t even make sure that she’s alright. Because the bloody divine forces won’t let me. Why?”
