hi, i’m leah! @literateleah - Tumblr Blog

in all seriousness #earnestpost i owe so much of what i would call my intellectual roots and foundational learning around literature from the minds i surrounded myself with on here over the last decade, and it feels like the work i've been able to achieve as a writer wouldn't be possible without that formative period. so moots this is for you i'll put you in the acknowledgements of the next publication when we run it back in grad school

#jk i've staved off that particular demon for long enough now #how are you guys is there anyone left here or just a million dead internet slop ads talking to each other

hi hi link is here, this labor of love genuinely consumed so much of my mind and i want to return to it eventually but here we are i hope you enjoy! abstract: Mary Shelley’s feminist ideals and lived experience have been illuminated by years of adaptation, retelling, and counter-discourse that have told her own story within that of her acclaimed novel Frankenstein. In this thesis project, we argue that through the process of reproducing the narrative of Frankenstein, such adaptations — on both stage and screen — have memorialized authorial identity on Shelley’s behalf, as well as highlighted her feminist outlooks on birth, motherhood, loneliness, and womanhood that live on in her creative works. By first surveying a selection of films that tell the story of both Frankenstein and its storied author, we will identify key thematic and narrative patterns that have defined its legacy in film history and popular culture. By conducting a critical literary analysis of each film selected, we will contrast adaptations of the Frankenstein myth on the basis of their likeness to the original text, liberties taken to reflect the nuance of their production, portrayal of Shelley in a literal or metatextual representation, as well as critical and audience reception. By understanding the scholarly work others have conducted in studying these texts, we will build on pre-existing research in literary criticism, film criticism, and gothic studies in our own interdisciplinary survey of Shelley’s authorship and feminist identity with this thesis project.

Please, stop whatever you're doing right now. Stop playing games, watching movies, following matches, or listening to music... Leave everything else for just one minute, and sit with yourself and ask yourself honestly: Did we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this way? Do you think this is fair?

Are you happy that the war is over? It's as if you're happy that a tragic incident ended, while the bodies are still there, the wounded are untreated, and the destruction remains untouched.

abdalrahman2002

This is us now. We've been left like a crime scene after everyone has left, with the wounds open and the devastation untouched. We're still here, trying to survive. If your answer is "no," if you still see us as human beings, then do something.

abdalrahman2002

Donate, share, or at least make us feel like you're with us. Don't leave us alone in the face of the murderers and criminals.

abdalrahman2002

Please do not leave us. Please continue to support us. Life here is very difficult. Please do anything for us. Please do not ignore us.

abdalrahman2002

Unfortunately, immediately after the war ended, everyone left us alone and everyone stopped helping us. Please, we need your help. Please do not leave us alone.
