Nice to eat you
The document discusses how antagonists in literature are often associated with sex and exploiting others. It notes that vampires feed on humans and represent corrupt older values that prey on innocent youth. Vampires drain the life force from their victims to continue their own undead existence, much like how some view Wall Street traders as exploiting others for selfish gain. As long as people act this way towards each other, the concept of the vampire will remain relevant.

Genre research
Vampire films have been popular since the silent film era, with many adaptations of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla. Dracula in particular has been depicted in more films than any other fictional character, with themes of blood-drinking and manipulation. While generally a horror genre, some vampire films are comedic. Stoker defined the modern vampire form, and his novel has inspired many film and television adaptations over the decades.
The Crucible and Paradise
The document provides an analysis of the conflicts of power portrayed in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible and Toni Morrison's novel Paradise. In The Crucible, John Proctor questions the legitimacy of the witch trials being conducted and refuses to falsely confess, which puts him in conflict with the ruling judges and Abigail Williams. In Paradise, the male leaders of the town of Ruby feel threatened by the existence of a nearby convent housing independent women and decide to attack the convent to maintain their power. Both stories show conflicts between those in power imposing their ideology and those questioning that power, though in the end the power systems diminish as people become disillusioned.
Imperialism and Heart of Darkness
This document discusses several topics related to language, politics, and imperialism:
- It examines how language can shape and corrupt thought, and how politicians use euphemisms and vagueness to obscure unpleasant realities.
- It also discusses how nationalism emerged from imperialism, as oppressed groups wanted independence. However, some nationalists believed their ethnicity made them superior to others.
- Additionally, it analyzes how word choice and connotation can influence perceptions of political situations, like using "civil war" versus "genocide" to describe the Syrian conflict.
[Indir] (Livros) Instant Karma
In this contemporary romance with a bit of magic, chronic overachiever Prudence Daniels is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, during a night out with her friends, she slips on a spilled drink and hits her head, only to wake up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her. Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to karaoke hecklers, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire � Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner and all-around mortal enemy. Over the course of a summer, Pru begins to uncover truths about Quint, her peers, and even herself that reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed... love and hate. .
imperialism in Heart of darkness
The document discusses themes of imperialism in Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness. It explores how the novella depicts Europeans asserting their racial superiority and civilizing mission as justification for colonizing Africa. However, Marlow comes to realize that imperialism in the Congo involved brutal exploitation and abuse of power over native people. Ivory is presented as a symbol of the Europeans' greedy commercial motivations for imperialism. While the idea of uplifting natives was used to justify colonization, many Europeans instead treated natives as less than human and failed to civilize them.

Pagerank (1)
SALSA and PageRank are algorithms that analyze the link structure of web pages to determine authoritative pages. SALSA performs random walks on graphs derived from links to find communities of authoritative and hub pages. It assigns two scores, a hub score and authority score, to each page. PageRank also performs a random walk on the link graph and defines page importance recursively based on the importance of backlinking pages to avoid sinks. Both leverage the graph structure and random walk concepts to determine important pages based on links.
Pagerank (1)
SALSA and PageRank are algorithms that analyze the link structure of web pages to determine authoritative pages. SALSA models the web as two Markov chains, with one for hubs (pages that link to many others) and one for authorities (pages that many point to). It computes hub and authority scores for pages. PageRank also models the web as a graph, and defines a recursive ranking formula based on the concept of a random web surfer following links. It outputs a single importance score for each page based on both the number and quality of inbound links. Both leverage the idea of random walks on graphs to determine important pages in a decentralized, iterative way.

Stakeland v twilight
This document compares and contrasts the vampire films Twilight and Stake Land. It summarizes that Stake Land depicts a post-apocalyptic world where vicious vampires emerge at night to terrorize people, while Twilight depicts vampires that can walk in sunlight but sparkle and have other supernatural abilities. While Stake Land follows typical vampire conventions, Twilight modernizes conventions like vulnerability to sunlight. The document questions whether changing conventions could revitalize the vampire genre by providing new creative opportunities.

Crane eventually learns Lady Van Tassel is behind the murders to claim land, and returns the Horseman's skull to stop the killings.

Portrayal of Vampires in Films
Whenever people talk of vampires, it’s difficult to know exactly what they mean because the ‘vampire’ has transformed from the stalking, undead minion of fear to the romanticized (and usually erotic) tragic character of modern American culture.
Vampires and sex
The document discusses the modern portrayal of vampires in popular culture as sexualized figures. It traces the origins of this portrayal to John Polidori's 1816 story "The Vampyre," which recast vampires as romantic figures. Later works like Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1897 further developed vampires as symbols related to sexuality. Modern television shows and movies frequently depict vampires and their allure in a sexual manner to appeal to audiences and drive commercial success.
