There are many connections to volume 1 and lots of foreshadowing to future volumes. I don’t think there is any reason more than this volume felt transitional not as much of a complete story in itself. ![]() I do think I enjoyed the story in Volume 1 a bit more than Volume 2. I think it is really great that I have found many vampire stories in this genre that I have enjoyed (Another example was Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – I thought it would be cheesy, but actually pretty good). I am really enjoying the historical fiction feel of this vampire story. Volume 2 sticks moves on to the next step in the Wild West theme as modernization hits the West with the rise of Las Vegas and the building of the Boulder (Hoover) Dam. This is the ongoing tale of vampires in America. ![]() ![]() ![]() This note regards Alexandre Dumas, père, the father of Alexandre Dumas, fils (son).

Cars jam the streets, a nonstop trail of brake lights and honking from here all the way to Times Square. The sky beyond the cut of skyscrapers is gray, turning grayer, and in a few hours this flurry of snow will become a steady fall. So, unless I can get my hands on $3,450, I’ll be homeless and in the streets by the end of the week. ![]() Translation: I’m almost three months behind on my rent. But this morning, I’d woken up to a yellow paper taped to the door of my apartment, its words printed in the largest font you can imagine. Usually, I’m a nicer person than this-or, at least, I would have shouted an apology. ![]() I glance over my shoulder to see him waving a fist at me through his open window. “Hey!” a driver yells as I maneuver past his car. My bright, rainbow-dyed hair whips across my face. The board is old and used, like everything else I own, its blue paint almost entirely scraped off to reveal cheap silver plastic underneath-but it’s not dead yet, and when I push my heel down harder, it finally responds, jerking me forward as I squeeze between two rows of cars. Then I slam my boot down on my electric skateboard. I shiver, tug my scarf up higher over my mouth, and wipe a few snowflakes from my lashes.

While your two other friends yell at the third for angering the monkey you go and see what the object was. One of your friends gets the bright idea to throw something back at the monkey but this only angers Y-7 more.Y-7 finally throws the object it just barley misses your head. ![]() Y-7 starts throwing objects at you and your friends but does not throw the metallic object. ![]() The object looks small and it looks like there’s just a hint of a metallic shine.

Hughes took a magical, shamanic view of poetry: it is "a journey into the inner universe", "an exploration of the genuine self", "a way of making things happen the way you want them to happen". Having resisted all publicity, Hughes's last interview was given to the American fishing magazine Wild Steelhead and Salmon he had felt confident he would not be asked about Sylvia Plath. Jobs to support himself while writing – though the urge to produce children's stories was also financial – included "rose gardener, night-watchman in a steel factory, zoo attendant, schoolteacher, and reader for J Arthur Rank". He did his national service with the RAF as a mechanic in Yorkshire, with "nothing to do but read and reread Shakespeare and watch the grass grow". At Pembroke College, Cambridge he began studying English but, finding his own writing stifled, changed to archaeology and anthropology. Hughes started writing by composing comic poems "for classroom consumption" at the age of 11. ![]() |
