Interview with a Vampire by Cayden Nolan

Interview with a Vampire by Cayden Nolan It was a drizzly day when I met Lestat. He was sitting silently in the bleachers, chewing bubble gum. Lazily blowing bubbles as he watched with a lurid gaze the teenagers stretching on the field. I had no idea when I sat next to this nearly silent loner where my life would be headed. My name is Claudia, and I’m a bit of an outcast myself, so the strange and unusual people that sometimes pass through my poor white trash neighborhood do little to frighten me. I grew up in the dark. “They have nice asses” I said bluntly as I turned towards him. His eyebrows shot up as a bubble popped on his lips. He licked off the sticky goo and turned to me, “I’m sorry?” “They have nice asses, baseball players. You picked a spot with a view. Nice.” “I assure you, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” “Sure, dude. Whatever you say. You don’t even have your phone out. You are clearly admiring the boy eye candy down there.” “That’s horrible. I would never be so ...

Interview With A Vampire: Chapter Two

I met Louis after class. He stared me down, and I wondered if Lestat had indeed informed him of my romantic interest. “Must you come to baseball practice? It’s weird. It’s like you’re my stalker.” “I’m the sports journalist for the school paper, my presence is actually required.” “I don’t think so. You could interview the team, like, literally whenever. You don’t take pictures.” “Not for the paper.” “What?!!?” “What?” He blew a bubble with his bubblegum. “You’re not supposed to chew gum at school.” “K” He popped his bubble and blew another one. I turned to leave, to investigate something else. He reappeared in front of me. “You’re definitely supposed to poof at school.” “It’s called misting, you’re just jealous.” I couldn’t breath. He had that affect on me. “Well?” I stood stunned. “I don’t want you to be at practice tonight. It’s weird. You can just stalk me at school. That’s a reasonable request.” I kept my mouth shut. I neither agreed or disagreed with his argument. Later that day, ...

Reflections on Animal Farm by Cayden Nolan

Animal Farm, written by George Orwell was an attempt to allegorize the revolution and subsequent transition to authoritarianism that happened in Russia following the First World War. There are several themes in this book that reflect the times and the attitude of the author that may be questionable or troublesome to the modern reader. Most notably is the theme of eugenics, and the different “natural” intelligence levels of the different groups of animals. The transition from an egalitarian society to an extreme hierarchy is explored through the theme of propaganda and the control of information as well as the re-interpretation of events and mythologizing the past. Animal Farm shows how this process can slowly seep into a society. The theme of education is ever present in Animal Farm, and directly ties into the other two themes of eugenics and propaganda mythology making. By exploring these themes it is easy to see how the lessons of Animal Farm are broader than just as a historic exami...
