By: Valerie Menendez  Gothic cinema is a subgenre of film that consists of fictitious scenery consisting of such things like dark dreary Victorian castles from far away lands long forgotten, mania, ancient curses, and often derives authenticities through horror and psychological dramas. The term’s roots can be traced to the mid-18th century where fellow ladies and gentlemen found that through their writing they can emerge themselves out of the dark treacherous times many faced. The Age of Enlightenment produced many new writers in spite of the world around them crumbling. They found foreseeable light through their very ironic, dark, gloomy, stories between their dusted,grimy pages. One such writer that emerged was a young woman who just turned 18 when she first began writing her short story, Frankenstein. Now, to create a condemning story such as Frankenstein, you're bound to create varying controversies, but isn't that what a great piece of fiction is supposed to create? Even if you do not like the genre itself and the depictions Mary Shelley decided to implement in her classic Gothic novel, you always have an outlet to talk about it by sharing how much disgust, hatred, or any sort of feelings you manifested while reviewing Gothic pieces such as hers.

By: Foyinkemi Olalere  John Green’s book The Anthroposcene Reviewed consists of a series of essays where Green reviews items or concepts in the anthroposcene, a world in which humans dominate. He connects the human inventions to their cultural impact and net-benefit (or lack thereof), concluding each of his essays with a rating of each topic/item from 1 to 5 stars. My article exploring YouTube's "Cocomelon" follows that format. |
