Project 2 Northanger Abbey or The Vampyre

Project 2 assignment is coming up and I still have not decided what 19th century novel to write about. For the assignment we have to compare Breaking Dawn to a 19th century novel. I'm still deciding between Northanger Abbey and The Vampyre. If I decided to go with Northanger Abbey I would focus on the woman's role in Breaking Dawn and Northanger Abbey. If I decided to write about The Vampyre I would compare and contrast the vampiric characters in both texts. Four more days until the essays due date, I better make a decision.

Byron's The Giaour

The past couple of classes in comp 2 we have been going over the Giour. At first I didnt understand half of the poem. The poem jumps around from character to character without smooth transitions. This can be very confusing and you can easily get lost in the reading. Luckily Ms. Hodges has broken down the poem for the class and now I have a better idea of what the poem is about.

Catherine vs. Bella

After reading Northanger Abbey I have come to the conclusion that Catherine is a better role model than Bella from Twilight. Catherine does not seem nearly as delicate as Bella, and shows that she does not need a man in her life to protect her and make her own decisions. Of course Bella is surrounded by Vampires and Werewolves so she does need more protection but she comes of as too needy. Nevertheless both Bella and Catherine end up with the love of their lives and all is right with the world.

Channing Tatum Vs. Edward Cullen

This past weekend I watched the Vow and it made be think of breaking dawn in many ways. But what stood out the most to me was Channing Tatums undying love for his wife in the movie. It reminded me of Edward Cullens love for Bella and how he would be willing to die if anything ever happend to Bella.

Breaking Dawn the movie!

I just recently watched Breaking Dawn and I was surprised that I actually liked the movie. The three other twilight series movies were nowhere near as good as the most recent movie in my opinion. The acting seemed to improve and the ending had a great cliffhanger.
