It would be quite an aberration if my Dad didn’t try to force me to go to Lehigh every day. The joke gets pretty vapid because he continues to say it even though I tell him it gets old. Besides that, my father and I get along really well. Both of my parents are my friends, I go to them with my problems and at the same time, we can have fun together. I laugh most when I am with my family, and I am most comfortable with myself around them. Spending time with my parents is what makes me happiest.

gothic literature in Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights mirrors the ideal gothic novel. An extremely powerful scene is the dream scene when Lockwood was in the prohibited room at Wuthering Heights. As he falls asleep in a bed behind panels, he hears a branch banging against the window. This noise disrupts his sleep twice, so he tries to break it off by sticking his hand through the window, reaching for the branch. He feels a cold hand and thinks it is the ghost of Catherine. This is an aspect of gothic literature because it is am imitation vision. Another part of this novel that represents gothic writing is the feature of women threatened by powerful men. Catherine is highly influenced by the tyrannical ways of Hindley, which ultimately leads her to decide to marry Edgar.

woof woof!
If I could be any animal, I would be a dog. Unlike hippos, they aren't languid and spend most of their time playing in the backyard, on walks, or watching tv with the family. The communication between dogs and humans is so strong that a dog can sense the emotions and feelings of its owner. I like this because if I were a dog, I would want to be able to feel for and share emotions with my owner - the understanding of the nebulous concept of the English language is vital to me.
