THE GOTHIC NOVEL

-

The Gothic Novel was invented by Horace Walpole, and the first one was written in 1764 and it's titled The Castle of Otranto, in 1764.

 One of the basic elemens that I didn't include in my list is an ancient prophecy that is connected to the house.
And I also didn't include any supernatural nor otherwise inexplicable events, also I dind't include any women threatened by a poweful, impulsive tyrannical male. 

 Here's a list with some elements I didn't include:
  • Wind
  • Doors granting on rusty hinges
  • Ruins of buildings
  • Rain
  • Baying of distant dogs or wolves
  • Doors suddenly slamming shut
  • Clanking chains
  • Thunder an ligthning

THE MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT OF MY TRIP WITH THE CLASS TO ITALY This year because it's my last year of ESO I had the trip that everyone has when they finish the ESO. We choose to go to Italy, we went first to Floence and then to Rome, it was really nice although I was expecting more from this trip, beacuse every year the otrher students described it as being really cool and funny so yes, I had a lot of expectations.

Well I've been thinking a lot about this lately, so I decided to write here about it. I think everyone thought at least once about how they've been created, what’s next after life or that we are such an inferior beings, and this is not about religion, this is only my relfection about life. I mean, everything that lives, dies too and our life is really short actually, not to mention that we are extremely fraglie and our bones are so easy to break and with the pass of the time our mind gets more and more damaged, we can’t even remember what we’ve done or said a few decades ago.

But what I always wondered is what happens to us when we die, I mean if all we did here on earth was in vain or it’ll be something else after earth, after life. And I don’t want you to think that I have a sort of obsession with this, cause I don’t, it’s just a thought of mine which I wanted to share. ...

SLANTED ANGLE: It is where the camera is tilted to one side on purpose so the distance/horizon is at angle. EYE LEVEL SHOT:  The audience sees from the characters eye level. AERIAL SHOT: It shows everything that is happening from a bird eye view. CLOSE UP SHOT: It used to reveal the character's thoughts and feelings. LONG SHOT: It shows a whole setting, it could be used to show a full scene or an actor's full body. MEDIUM SHOT: This shot shows the target's body as well as it's face. WIDE SHOT: Includes a lot of visual information for the audience. TWO SHOT: I'ts used in dramas where it shows friends side by side. I can also be used to show a relationship.
