Grasping Postmonderism

“She touches me and takes her hand away abruptly, it’s so clear that there is no one there. “But it’s always been like that!” Nervous laughter. The picture Of a headless man falling headlong hangs at the head of the stairs. “Why I must’ve been dreaming!” All this is in the tone of one”  This quote is pretty chilling. This is only the first line and it already gives off a dark kind of feeling to the story. It is apparent that the person is talking to themselves in a way. When the first line says a woman touches him and then quickly takes her hands off, it is almost like it has happened before. It seems that it brings his hopes up that someone is finally there and then he snaps into a reality that he is in fact alone. He even admits it but when he does he masks the laugh for his sadness or scaredness.  So right off the bat, the reader will think it is a ghost and it makes the story even more so creepy. And as for the line of the headless man, it adds mystery. And finally, the l...

Contemporary Story

  My name is Sarah Leeann Silguero McAnear, I always wanted to go by Leeann but it never stuck. I am an outgoing person and literally live to have fun. I graduated from Hanna High School in 2019 where I made some of the best craziest memories in my teenage years. I am currently 19 years old and in my second year at TSC. I have one older brother, one younger brother (who people mistake as my twin), and one younger sister. My father was always away working growing up so four hyper kids were a big handful for my mother. I grew up and still live in Laguna Vista, which is about 10 minutes from South Padre Island where I spend most of my days. I love love the beach, I can literally lay there for hours, I have had the same tan since last December. I love longboarding down gulf blvd and watching my friends fall as they attempt to it.  The ocean and its marine life interest me like there is 80% of the ocean that is undiscovered, which is kinda insane. I think that is where my passion l...

The Horror Genre

As we all know Poe and HP Lovecraft have contributed a lot to literature and inspired numerous horror movies and stories. A tv show that sticks out to me when thinking about these two incredible authors is a Netflix series named, Locke and Key. There is horror with suspension that keeps you on your toes, wondering what will happen next. In this show, it follows the death of a father who leaves behind a family legacy of keys to his 3 children, not ones that open doors, reality-bending ones. In this way, I compare it to HP Lovecraft's work in Color our of space, both brought in a concept that is completely out of the ordinary and strange. As well as in Poe's writings, for example, the Raven, the character wants is amused by the talking raven. And just like in Poes and HP Lovecraft, the show Locke and Key has a turn and turns dark, the keys unlock some horrible people and scary places. These two authors have brought a new concept in the art of literature and started a new light in...
