Jaime Wallace, Post #4

While we discussed chapter six of The Gilda Stories in class there was much talk about Julius as a vampire compared to Gilda as a vampire. When Gilda was first transformed into a vampire she was scared and nervous all the time. She also hated the fact that she never could belong to a place for more than a ten or so years. Gilda also was always on a hunt to find her place in life. Julius on the other hand was way different than her. When Julius was first transformed into a vampire he lived life the way he was never able to before. Julius took advantage of this new life by traveling around to see all the places he always wanted to see and also having an everlasting life.

In the final two chapters there is a futuristic view in the years 2020 and 2050. I absolutely love the end of the novel. The world is ending so there are hunters that are going around and trying to capture the vampires. This is mostly because they want the eternal life that these so called vampires hold. I love the ending way better than the beginning of the novel because I really like how she ran away from every place. She had to leave every person that she met along the way, but at the end it was nice how everyone came back together to form one big family. Which was what Gilda was looking for all along.
