draft two Angel paper

Actions speak louder than pretend identities

The door that knows no one wants to go to is given the identity of a man with nothing in his eyes. That man behind the door creeps people out. However, the man’s name, behind the door is Angel. Angel is seen as a man to the outside world that is his identity. However, he sees himself as a monster, which is strange because his name is Angel. Angels are seen as gifts from God. Angels action’s don’t reflect a monster but more human emotions and feelings.

The scene that shows a big part of Angel not being a monster is when, the people of the hotel join to find answers of how the man in the room died, everyone has made up there own thoughts of how this happened one person noted that the door was locked and the bellhop said he was not a good tipper most suicidal people tip better cause they know they won’t be taking the money with them and he wasn’t a good tipper. Judie has had her picture flashed about by a PI who knows that she stole money from the bank where she uses to work. The people take Judie while she is pleads and screaming that they are hurting her. They are ready to take justice into there own hand’s to find the one responsible for the mans death in attempts to keep there secrets safe. Angel walks in the hotel and Judie points a finger calling him a monster telling everyone he has blood in his room. Its just Angel standing there alone and exposed. The attention of the crowed immediately turns their attention on to the new piece of meat. The room full of people should be loud but during this part, it is quiet just as a dream to Angel. Angel has a look in his eye that this couldn’t be happening he had just gone and exposed himself by trying to get ride of the demon, by going to a man in a bookshop. Who told Angel to try this book as he through the Holy Bible at him Angel caught it and it burned his hands. He went and got everything that would save them all but the person he did this for had just feed him to the wolfs. The shock in Angels eyes as he looks at Judie with pain and hurt, almost as if he was questioning the friendship he had with Judie. The camera is focused on both Judie and Angel going back and forth while the people start to tie and beat him. During all this Angel could have exposed Judie ‘s two ideates of being half white and half black, stealing money from the bank, and also the actors identity of being gay. He could have just as easily put the blame on someone else and saved his own neck. Angle took the blame, something that only a friend would do.

When he went back to the hotel and got ride of the demon for the last time. He found Judie old, alone, and afraid of what might happen to her if she left her room. Angel helped her to her bed. Judie asked for forgiveness while on her death bed Angel accepted her apology.

These actions show human traits and not monsters traits. Angel had human behaviors but also a monster inside. Angels human behaviors out weighted the monster he has inside. Going and asking how to vanquish the demon, telling Judie the cops won’t come, listening to Judies problems and past even though he didn’t want to from the look on his face. Angel doesn’t pretend to be human nearly as much as Judie pretends to be white. Angel does it with hardly any problem he hides what he drinks and keeps to himself. Angel only allows he to drink in privet spots, unlike the gay actor who shows his affections in the hallway of the hotel. We are seen only as we show yourself to others. Everyone in the hotel had something to hide.


When the demon came and showed himself after Angel had been hung, we know that Angel had cared for Judie and that they had been friends. The demon had said he was full and the biggest reason why was because Angel and Judie had been friends and the be trail was what made him so full that she could feed him a whole lifetime. Angel showed emotion that is even more human when he was given the permission to the demon to feed off the rest of the people paranoia and fears in the hotel. Even though I wouldn’t like to admit it I most likely would have had the same bitterness and aloud the demon to feed off of there fears and paranoia in the hotel.

Angel ‘s human emotions shows up again fifty years later when he doesn’t tell cordilla and Wesley why they are looking in to the Hyperion hotel. I think Angle show a huge human emotion by not telling them why they are looking into the hotels history. He doesn’t want them to know that he was part of the reason for all the deaths that went on in that Hotel, and also that he had given the demon permission to have the torched souls. He then goes back to the hotel to fix that mistake he made so long ago to get ride of the demon. Angel walks straight to Judies room not paying attention to his other friends but only has his other friend’ s concern on his mind. Angel fixes things with Judie who was at the hotel being fed off by the demon the whole time that it took Angel to get rid of the demon that he didn’t finish in the past. That is why Angel seems human; it is because of the mistakes, pains, friendships, and his secret identity that shows he is human in some way even though he is a vampire with a soul.

  1. The door that knows no one wants to go to is given the identity of a man with nothing in his eyes.

    As written, this sentence doesn't make any sense. I get what you're trying to convey, but the sentence parses to mean that the door itself is identified as a man.

    I think you have really good ideas in this paper. I like the way you discuss the moment when Judy betrays Angel and how Angel looks as well as how the scene is shot. But right now, your good ideas are being obscured by issues with the prose. There are several sentences like the one I told you to fix. The sentences themselves have errors, and sometimes the sentences don't make sense back to back For example, I wasn't sure what this meant:

    Angel has a look in his eye that this couldn’t be happening he had just gone and exposed himself by trying to get ride of the demon, by going to a man in a bookshop. Who told Angel to try this book as he through the Holy Bible at him Angel caught it and it burned his hands.
    The first sentence is a run-on sentence and the second sentence is a fragment. One possible way to revise it is:
    "Angel has a look of disbelief in his eyes. He had just exposed himself in order to kill the demon, and put himself at risk by visiting the bookstore."

    You need to go through sentence by sentence. If you revise your run-on sentences and fragments, your meaning will be clarified and your paper will be greatly improved.
