" Is "The Wizard of Oz" considered 'gothic'? I need some help on proving to my class that the Wizard of Oz is of a gothic nature and has gothic themes present throughout the film.. HELP!"



"I could agree that the story "The Wizard of Oz" does contain some Gothic elements. For example, there is the theme of confinement. Dorothy feels trapped within the confines of normalcy. She longs to escape and see something greater than the world she knows.  Still, I wouldn't say that this would qualify the story as a Gothic tale.
Remember, Gothic tales are filled with terror and nightmarish incidents. Gothic stories are very dark and in most cases deal with the supernatural. Things like ghosts, vampires and demons are common. Additionally, Gothic settings are often medieval. While the Dorothy character is the typical "damsel in distress", the story lacks the spooky background or supernatural characters that would help it to fit into the Gothic genre."

Lol! Hope it works with the single ladies.

Fwb relationships are fun and all, but it's not the same has a real relationship.
It's hard to detach your feelings for a person you really adore.

A Person who loves you ,will not give up on you, no matter what.
So! stop chasing after unavailable people and love those who will give you the world. Everyone deserves to be loved not to be taken advantage of.

A women I liked keeps playing emotional games with me. She wants me then doesn't want me. She ghosted me twice then apologized for it. Then we went out, had a good time. She wanted me to be her girlfriend and then we slept together. The next morning she delected all my pictures off facebook. It hurts alot cause I really developed feelings for her. Now! I'm feeling depressed and rejected. It seem no one understands how I feel.

Ghost on the Tracks
A Colorado Ghost Story

retold by

S.E. Schlosser

"The train rumbled around him as he adjusted the throttle. The night shift was always the toughest, in the engineer's mind. He had rumbled through Timpas a few minutes ago and was on his way to Thatcher. Not a bad stretch of road, and there was no better train in the entire Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad.

He stretched a bit and yawned, trying to stay alert. And then he gasped. The lights had picked up the figure of a beautiful woman with long red-gold hair and wonderful blue eyes standing near the tracks. Too near! He sounded his horn to warn her away. And then he realized that the light was shining right through her. She was a ghost!

She stepped into the center of the track, laughing and beautiful. She disappeared seconds before the train rushed through her. And then she was there, in the engine cab next to him. The scent of roses filled the air. He stared at the ghostly vision, bewitched by her beauty. With an enticing smile, she wrapped ghostly arms about his neck and kissed him. And was gone.

Dazed (and disappointed!), the engineer finished the run to Thatcher in a trance, completely forgetting to stop at the station. The fireman had to pour water on his head to snap him out of it.

The engineer decided not to tell anyone about the ghost, fearing for his job. But he was plagued by curiousity. Finally, he confided the story to a close friend who was a fellow engineer. To his surprise, the friend had heard about the ghost before. The ghost's appearance on the train was by no means uncommon. No one knew who the woman had been in life. But she always appeared on that stretch of track after dark, beckoning to the men on the railroad crew with a bewitching smile. Sometimes, said his friend, sometimes she would come right onto the train!

"Better not tell your wife about it," his friend advised.

The engineer never did."

Happy Mother's day.

Lycan vs Werewolf

"A lycan and a werewolf are folkloric or mythological characters. Though a lycan and a werewolf relate to the transformation of humans into a wolf, they are different in many respects.

In a werewolf, the transformation to wolf takes place on a full moon day, and they cannot restrict the transformation. In a lycan, the transformation to wolf can take place at any time and in any place. Persons are transformed into werewolves and lycans when another werewolf or lycan bites them.

Werewolves, which have their origin in English folklore, are human beings that have been changed into humanoid wolves whereas lycans are humanoid wolves.

Both the lycan and werewolf possess great superhuman powers, agility, speed, regenerative abilities, coordination, and have excellent tracking abilities. Werewolves and lycans have almost the same physical strength."

To become a Vampire/Lycan Hybrid, one needs to have the Corvinus gene and be part of the Corvinus bloodline. Marcus Corvinus, William Corvinus, Michael Corvin, and Eve are all direct blood descendants of Alexander Corvinus, and are, thus, able to become Vampire/Lycan Hybrids. Lucian and Sonja, despite not being a part of the Corvinus bloodline, would have had a Hybrid child that would have been a neutral hybrid, an entirely-new immortal species that never existed before, however, Sonja was slain at the hands of her own father.
