...Music has been around for centuries. It is an art that does not lose value through years; it only gains value with memories. Music can bring you back to your favorite moment in your life to your saddest. In two thousand fifteen, all types of music genres due to hit radio stations influence us but I believe that amongst all the genres of music, Pop and R&B are the most influential to our society today. As different as these two genres might be, the similarities over rule them. Our generation is beginning to confuse the two genres immensely because of their similar beats, style and publicity/marketing strategies of these tunes. Pop music as of right now is based off of hits from Justin Bieber to Taylor Swift. Pop is what radio stations now call their ‘Hits 100’. It’s the most listened to songs, with beats that make you get up and get on your feet. The definition of pop according to Google “commercial popular music, in particular accessible, tuneful music of a kind popular since the 1950s and sometimes contrasted with rock, soul, or other forms of popular music.” “You know, jazz is the mother of all American music. R&B and pop and rap and everything are the branches on the main tree of the life of music, American music, which is jazz.”(Burdon) Pop is a mix of all genres put together to make one sound. R&B on the other hand is a harsher with deeper lyrics. People dislike R&B for this reason due to the fact it has more vulgar language and uses slang that not many people feel is...

...Comparing Vampires and Werewolves Star Koning Com/170 January 12th, 2012 Karen DeVries Comparing Vampires and Werewolves Vampires and werewolves are ravenous demons that haunt our dreams, and dwell in the dark murky shadows of the night. They like to creep around in the dark, and will attack when least expected. These creatures of the night can live within the human population. They could be your neighbor, your local bank teller, your pastor, your local store clerk, or even your best friend, and in most cases they are never even noticed. That is until one is breathing down the neck of an unsuspecting victim. Vampires are not born, they are human first. They have to be bitten by a vampire who drains their blood, and then they must feed on the blood of a vampire. They then must go through the transition of changing from human to night-creature, and will be in pain for a few days until they become a full blooded vampire. (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_are_vampires_born). A werewolf on the other hand, must be bitten or scratched by another werewolf. It has also been said that werewolves have been known to interbreed with humans and wolves to increase their population. When a werewolf child is born, it is born into the same form as its mother. If the mother is human at the time of the birth, the child will also be born in a human form. If the mother is a werewolf at the time of the birth, the child will be born in a wolf form.

...to Dictonary.com a vampire is, “A preternatural being, commonly believed to be a reanimated corpse, that is said to suck the blood of sleeping persons at night.” Dracula fits into that definition of a vampire almost perfectly because vampires are essentially dead people that came bad to live to drink other people’s blood and that is exactly what Dracula does in the story. Dracula makes people think that vampires have to be all the exact same way. It kind of set the way for modern day television and movies. Although Stoker didn’t create the concept of vampires, he expressed how they looked and acted more than how they were described before. In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the main character is not a stereotype but over time television and media has made it a stereotype in works such as The Vampire Diaries. The first thing people think about when they hear vampire is that they drink lots of human blood. Blood is what vampires need to get their energy to do everyday tasks and activities. In the eighteenth chapter of Dracula, Renfield explains to Mina that “The doctor here will bear me...

...I'm going to talk about Vampire [ˈvæmˌpaɪə]. There are six part of this presentation, which are What's the vampire, The history of Vampires, The vampire's features and fears, Vampire's propagation [ˌprɔpəˈgeɪʃən], The reality of Vampires and Vampires on the movies. So, to begin with, let's look at what's the vampire. Vampires are mythological or folkloric[ˈfəukˌlɔ:rik] creatures who subsist[səbˈsɪst] by feeding on the life essence [ˈesns] of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person. In other words, vampires are the creatures that feed on with blood. The first vampire is named Cain[kein], he is one of tow sons of Adam [ˈædəm] and Eva [ˈi:və] ,but he killed his brother Abe [eib] and refused to amend [əˈmend]. So he was punished to become vampire by god. Cain created the second generation of vampires which have 13 laters as the third generation. The 13 members founders their own clans and held strong powers. thousands of years later, the vampires have increased to 15th-16th generation. Next, I'd like to look at the history of vampires. It can date back to the early nineteenth century when vampires were recorded in the folkloric tales. And then in 1891 year, The fascinating ˈ[fæsineitiŋ] and sophisticated [səˈfistikeitid] vampire of modern fiction was born with the publication of The Vampire by John Polidori. In 1897, Bram Stoker[ˈstəʊkə] wrote a novel named Dracula. It is remembered as the typical vampire novel and provided the basis...

...Brittany Nobrega ENG 201 11/19/12 Essay #3 The Vampire Diaries is a CW television series that revolves around a love triangle between two vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, and the main character, Elena. The show takes place in Mystic Falls, a small town with many secrets including witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and hybrids. It is a constant struggle for Elena to keep her family and friends alive with all of the violence vampires and werewolves bring to the town; along with the struggle to protect her family and friends Elena struggles to choose which Salvatore brother she wants to be with. The trending vampire craze is a big part of America’s culture today. From television to books to movies the once evil vampire is now a fantasy for most women. These vampire characters may be murderers, they may be deceitful, but through all of the blood and gore we still desire them. What does it say about our culture today that the ideal man for a woman is a violent, murderous, yet gorgeous vampire? As a form of popular art, the CW series The Vampire Diaries reflects American women’s interest in violence, blood, heroes, confused morals, attractive men, and a dramatic love triangle. We root for these characters even though they have killed innocent people; each villain reveals a sensitive side that we are forced to sympathize with. American women viewers want to see more than two guys fighting over a girl, they want to see two heroic yet villainous animals struggle...

The research was an analysis of the Vampire Rights Amendment through public relations in pop culture and the theme of post feminism. The research is about the view post feminism view of public relations in pop culture using True Blood as a model. It shows the use of promotion, persuasion and public relations to draw in an audience. “Views interpretations are profoundly influenced by the social discourse in which they are interrelated.” (Brunsdon and Spigel,, 2007, pg. 260) It is important cause it gives the audience a deeper view of the feminism culture in popular culture, while allowing people to people it in the form of a television show that they would be able to spot and...

...heard of and/or seen an interpretation of vampires and, the supposed king of all vampires, Count Dracula, whether it be in all the several different variations and interpretations that can be seen in movies (most recently the series of Blade movies starring Wesley Snipes) that have been released over the last few decades all the way to “The Count” on “Sesame Street” the long running children’s television show) or “Count Chocula” (on the cover of a children’s cereal box). When people hear either the word vampires or Dracula, most of the time people tend to think about the mythical blood sucking race of immortals called vampires and also some people that know a little more than the average person does about vampires may think about several of their stereotypical characteristics such as: they are from a place called Transylvania, they have sharp, pointy teeth to draw blood from the necks of humans, they can not come outside during the day, they sleep in coffins, turn into bats, and they are killed by pure silver, garlic, and several religious artifacts. However, people do not really think about all the connections between the vampires and all of the religious artifacts that are said to kill them. Religion plays a major role in the story of Dracula, because when one looks closely enough to what vampires and Dracula are all about one can see that vampires are basically the antichrist. Without religion the alternative ways of killing a vampire would make them seem almost as though they...

...You cannot talk about the development of the vampire hunters without talking about the development of the vampires themselves. Vampires have changed and developed so much since the days of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. They’ve turned from creatures of the night that you feared would turn you into something unspeakable and kill you to something that you long to be. They’re no longer feared but desired. You can’t talk about the development of vampire hunters without speaking of where vampires first started and where they’ve gone now. You start off with Nosferatu and the concept of “vampire hunters” as a book Johnathan Harker finds on his way to Count Dracula’s mansion. He reads it in an inn and ends up taking it with him, after meeting with the Count,...

...written by Darren Shan, and Thriller, a song by Michael Jackson, many horror gothic features and techniques are applied and are easily recognised to help anyone understand the horror genre more clearly. It is usual in horror texts for there to be a conflict between good and evil characters, dark and spooky settings, and a suspenseful build-up that causes tension for the audience and makes them wonder what might happen next. Van Helsing is about a troubled man who dedicates his life to rid the world of evil forces as he tries to hunt down the unanswered questions of his past. He finds himself on a quest in Transylvania to kill Dracula and prevent the continuation of his kind, along with Anna, a brave woman whose family has been killed by vampires for over 400 years. Dracula is a powerful and dangerous character who is immediately regarded as the antagonist from his first word, “success!” It is enhanced by a loud boom of thunder to create shock and an element of excitement for the audience and marks Dracula as a threatening and frightening character. Monstrosity is likewise displayed through Frankenstein’s character when we are introduced to him. We are given three close-up shots of his eyes, hand, and yelling mouth which makes the audience think that he is this gruesome creature when he is only just misunderstood. Many times in the film, we see gothic architecture such as Dracula’s castle and the Church of Notre Dame. In the scientist’s lab we see lights flickering and sparks...

...The Origin of the Vampire Vampires, are they a mythical creature that was created by superstition and folklore or did they begin from someone’s fantastic imagination based on a real live person? Or maybe it was created to explain a cluster of misunderstood medical conditions that began before the medical world had advanced science and knowledge on the body and its psyche. It’s a word that inspires awe, fear, and romanticism all at once. Vampires are known in every culture and have been kept alive through stories that have been told throughout the generations. When someone utters the word “vampire” most people’s mind jump to Dracula from the great love story written by Bram Stoker. Dracula was created because Stoker was inspired by a real live man, the infamous, Vlad Tepes from Romania. That story is where love and vampires were intertwined and a kind of admiration was born. Only till recently they have become these seductive beautiful men and women in movies like ‘Twilight’ and ‘The Lost Boys’. So we are going to embark on the journey of where vampires began and explore the different aspects and origins of vampires. How these creatures were created was recorded in European folklore, Greek Mythology, found in medical conditions, and even taken from an excluded book of the bible. What is a vampire? Where did they come from? Well to get some answers we must first start at the beginning. First we must look at the word vampire. It is also spelled “vampir” or “vampyre”...

...Blood Suckers to Love Suckers Growing up as a kid, Vampires always used to scare me. Even on Halloween when parents would answer the front door I would run away. However, when I watching Twilight, I realized that this movie was more romantic than scary. I have seen other vampire movies such as, Dracula, Mom’s got a Date with a Vampire, and even Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire and those were scarier than twilight. Although I believe the United States of America is the greatest country, I personally believe that there is a case where there is softening in America. Last year, I took an elective class for my senior year that was called, Issues in Modern America. A couple of my friends and I decided instead of the weekly blog post we would do a weekly video podcast. One of our topics for the podcast was the weakening of America. At first, I didn’t think this was an issue, but then I looked at the way we as children grew up and how my parents grew up. There were two words that can easily separate my parents and I and how we got punished as a kid. For me it was getting grounded, not so bad. For my parents, it was the wooden spoon. “Swift flick of the wrist with a wooden spoon to the head if something wasn’t done right.” My dad would always tell me. Although getting beat with a wooden spoon and vampires could not be more opposite, I thought about the podcast me and my friends did and thought, “why are vampires now all about feelings and are not focusing on ‘I want to suck...

...Dracula by Bram Stoker is most definitely one of the most well-known vampire books of all time. Stoker is known for introducing vampires to gothic horror, but 25 years prior, Carmilla was written. Not only does Carmilla predate Dracula, but the novella also contains a romantic interest between the two main characters, which both happen to be female. Even today, in the 21st centaury, same-sex relationships are not seen to be customary. To this day, over 200 years after the book was written, people still argue that the relationship between the two women is not a romantic one. Their romance is made apparent in; Carmilla and Laura’s strong initial and quickly intensifying relationship, Laura’s disgust for her feelings, and Carmilla’s defiance towards her mothers orders to protect Laura, which ultimately lead to Carmilla sacrificing her life. Laura and Carmilla’s relationship begins when they only first meet. The girls met twice, once when Laura was only a young girl, and again when the girls are 16. In both instances the girls have an immediate bond. When Laura was very young, she recalls a, “pretty face looking at [her] from the side of the bed” (Le Fanu 10). Even though a strange person startles Laura in her room she says the girl made her feel “a kind of pleased wonder,” and “delightfully soothed,” (10). This early encounter plays a strong roll in the growth of their relationship. The girls meet each other again, 12 years later, and recall seeing each other’s faces from what...
