The Following

The Following is a show on Fox that premieres every Monday night at 9pm on Fox. This show is so suspenseful and I encourage everyone to watch it. But if you do not like the blood this isn't the show for you. I have never heard so many literary terms used in actually dialogue in a show that was not for education. The show is about an ex-FBI agent who follows the mind of a serial killer. A serial killer who was an English professor and had a particular interest in the romanticism period and his hero was Edgar Allen Poe. He kills for beauty and rips the eyes out of young girls,because according to Poe eyes were the gateway to the soul. Free remixing all 137 lit terms I was able to understand everything that was being said in the pilot episode. It also shows how powerful a piece of work can affect someone. Although this isn't a true story it is a point of view of what someone can take from a piece of literature. Although I do not think Poe's literature was to convey to people to kill it does have a lot of emphasis on death,beauty and art. This can also relate to the "telephone" game we played in class. Although this game was by word of mouth it conveys the same message of people interpreting things differently. No two people will ever interpret the same thing the same way. This is what brought me to this show. It is a great, suspenseful show that I encourage people to watch. Look out for literary elements not only said but also used. I know I have already caught flashback, motif, and allusion. On top of what was said by the characters, protagonist, prologue, romanticism, etc.
