What's Going On
This is an iceberg theory. //The iceberg theory or theory of omission is a writing technique coined by American writer Ernest Hemingway. ... Hemingway believed the deeper meaning of a story should not be evident on the surface, but should shine through implicitly. //
If the story is an Iceberg that has a deeper meaning what does that mean? A: It means a lot of symbolism, representation, and metaphors. Also, some other literary devices.

Alliteration. This is one of the easiest go-to devices to use. Alliteration involves the quick repetition of the first letters, and therefore the first sounds, of words.
The white witch wanted to write a new spell.
New aunt Anita aimed to avoid annoying her tired sister.
Personification. Giving inanimate objects and other phenomena human traits.
The leaves danced in the wind, twirling round and round before bowing out and resting on the cold ground.
Simile. Comparing two unrelated things to creating new understanding and meaning. They are marked by the use of "like," "as,"or "such as."
She ran like the wind.
His eyes were as blue as the sky.
Foreshadowing. Words, phrases, or events that hint or suggest to the reader what's going to happen in the story.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, finding the presents in the oak tree foreshadows the truth about Boo Radley.
Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" foreshadows the narrator's actions from the start of the story: I can't say how the idea first entered my brain, but once it was there, it haunted me day and night. There wasn't any reason for it. I liked the old man.
Satire. Using humor, wit, or sarcasm to expose human vice or folly.
In television, the creators of South Park have built their success on satire.
My favorite example is Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal."
Symbolism. Using objects or action to mean something more than what appears on the surface.
The dawn of a new day often is used to symbolize a new beginning.
The albatross in in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" symbolizes a burden: Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks / Had I from old and young ! / Instead of the cross, the Albatross / About my neck was hung
In daily life, people often associate colors with ideas. Black with death. Red with love. White with purity or peace.
Onomatopoeia. Words whose sound mimics natural sounds or sounds of an object. These words help bring the reader into the scene by working on the senses.
Bang! Flutter. Buzzzzz! Hum.
The birds tweet in chipper chatter outside the window.
A loud bang jarred me from sleep.
Metaphor. A device that asserts that one object is another, bringing new meaning to the original subject for a fresh understanding.
A common metaphor: it's raining cats and dogs.
From Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet": But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? / It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket. – George Orwell
Hyperbole. Exaggerating a statement or idea to emphasize a point or emotion.
If I take another step, my feet will fall off.
She's so thin she could thread a needle.
If his teeth were any whiter, I'd be blind.
Oxymoron. A device that puts two contradictory ideas together to create complex meaning. (See top photo)
Their relationship was an open secret.
The sight of the living dead shuffling below sent a blazing chill down her spine.
It's hard to explain that comforting pain to those who don't understand.
And more. The Waorshippers may not include all but it does use quite a bit.
The story goes like this. Backwards and forwards. In the first book, the characters are mimicking what happened in the past. In the second volume, this is still a thing up until Aleigha/July dies. In the first book, when speaking about Aleigha, it really is about Aleigha. >But he also dies in the second book< Yes, the story's world states the soul is moving on. So technically this nigga is constantly getting assassinated. During an iceberg you don't reveal everything. It's hinted multiple times that shit isn't right and Aleigha and July may be fighting for a body.
But the story isn't about vampires! But it is, it's a play on words. [Vampires cannot enter a home unless invited and vamps in this universe are dealing in thing that are just plain robbery. Especially Aleigha... his house his literally broken into. Also, I'm fun of other books. Vampires are crafted through ritual or medical means as hinted in plotagons and if not I need to post it.
Did you plan it like this? No.
Is there a lesson from the story? No.
Is the story mainly about the bible? No. At first the story was definitely about vampires eating each other but I'm one of those people that believe in, the story can write itself and jesus took my pen. So, the twist in the giant trashcan is a snake at the bottom inspired by Lovecraft woes and the bible.
How is it inspired by lovecraft? Lovecraft plays with the fear of the unknown. I used to read craft a lot but my take on fear is the reality and the fear becoming personified. Asphy'hod is the personification of greed, trauma, and lies.
Where did all this come from? I got kidnapped by a white woman and my family is goth as shit.
What is real? July doesn't have a brother ALIVE. July definitely sat in the mayor's house in Virginia which is located near the beach. Magna Carta is July's brother but Deidre and Dareion are not. Aleigha is not July. Hanielle IS not Childhood. Childhood is July's mother and Hanielle is Aleigha's...
I'm confused... Well isn't that immersive cause that's the whole fucking point. You're supposed to be confused because God/Snake keeps fucking with people. With magic being a core item, you can't really fight against it. It is unknown.
But... What is the Power of Word? If you are AFRICAN AMERICAN, you know some church bullshit. Everybody thinks they have the spirit and the WORD OF GOD.
Everyone is possessed in the book? No... because rituals don't allow possession necessarily. Vampires as written by meaning people is through a fucking bite like a zombie. The American and other countries have a different take or gave up and used the whole Europe coin. But tied with the whole immortality which is IN EVERY VAMPIRE BOOK. A high schooler fucks with a man that is 7'456 years old and just so happens to want to be with her. Whereas In the Waorshippers, the Obayifo coming through slavery, gave some slaves on a boat magic (inspired by Harut and Marut who taught some nigga's magic). My vampires can age but the aspect of immortality is by magically means. If the soul cannot move on, fuck it. I talk about a tribe that praised the Obayifo. THIS IS TRUE. In Ashanti Twi, the word used to describe "witchcraft" is bayi. Despite this, the etymology of bayi is still uncertain. Another possible variation is oba meaning "child" and yi meaning to remove. "To remove a child" in this case highlights a close association of infant mortality and fertility to the likes of witchcraft. Alternatively, bayi also may have a history in representing blood or family lineage. [Wiki]
Blade wasn't like this... I don't care, I used so black movies and Bones, which has a lot to do with headcount and not at the same time. Snoop Dog is Vinitharius. Also black slang most people don't seem to get.

***********What is the point?
>>>>>Plots and Stories. A plot is not a story, nor does every story have a strong plot. Good writers know the importance of both plot and story, especially before they dare to write a story with a "weak" or "thin" plot. ... Plots are events, stories reveal how characters react to those events.
Because every zombie story is the same. The main thing is cure, run, and live but nobody what's to fuck a dead nigga.
In Christianity, worship is the act of attributing reverent honor and homage to God. In the New Testament, various words are used to refer to the term worship. One is proskuneo ("to worship") which means to bow down to God or kings. ... Orthodoxy in faith also meant orthodoxy in worship, and vice versa.
Jesus laid out what real true worship is, first it's to worship God in spirit and truth. That means you understand who God is and all about the Godhead. So real worship is more than singing songs, real worship involves what Romans says; "your body as a living sacrifice."
Now, when it comes to religion. A lot of nonwhite pieces of bread may have that grandma or aunt or whatever, speak Godly to them but they have hypocrisy all in the ass and mind. So with that, these niggas no longer want to be in this shit.
>>>>>> One more thing, aren't vampires just zombies? Aren't mummies zombies with bare skin and had their brains taken out through their fucking ears?
For a vampire and a zombie to be the same thing, that nigga looks like Jack Skeleton. Vampires feeding off the living is symbolic as hell. And they called jesus a lich. a type of undead creature. ... Unlike zombies, which are often depicted as mindless, liches are sapient, retaining their previous intelligence and magical abilities.
And again, we try and make zombies seem so damn fearful but it's the weakest of the supernatural creatures while everything is magical. Werewolves must be cursed or (sigh... bitten)
I got rid of the whole bite bullshit cause that makes it a goddamn science fiction, you got infected by a bat so now you have superpowers and immortality. So the bat was magic.
>>>>>>if you said no.... trip downstairs.
It doesn't make since if you say no. Ok, what scientifically can make a human immortal after being bitten by a python?
???????????
Alright then.
This is the unknown. Dracula is brought up but here is a question. How long did Dracula live and why? How?
