Vampire Diaries - first post

Just because these books involve vampires I?m going to write about one of the
most important ones, Damon Salvatore.

Damon is described as a beautiful and handsome guy at about twenty years. ? He
was dressed as she had first seen him, in black. Soft black boots, black jeans,
black sweater, and leather jacket? He had the same dark hair, the same pale
skin, the same disturbing good looks.?
He?s really mean in the way he acts, but I think he?s a good guy inside and why
he?s so mean and patronizing in the way he speaks and acts is influenced during
his childhood/his time as a teenager for approximately two hundred and fifty
years ago. ?´Where?s Stefan?´ A line appeared between Damon?s dark eyebrows.
´Stefan who?´ Elena stepped forward and slapped him? ´Don?t lie to me ,´she
said, her voice shaking. ´I know who you are. I know what you are?And now
Stefan?s disappeared.´´Has he?´ ´You know he has!´ Damon smiled, and then
turned it off instantly. I?m warning you; if you?ve hurt him?´ ´Then what? he
said. ´What will you do, Elena? What can you do, against me?´? ´Tell me where
he is.´´Later, possibly ? for a price.´?
Why? When he was about eighteen years old he fell in love with a vampire named
Katherine. She was the one who turned Damon and his brother Stefan into
vampires and she also made them think that she loved them both. But the
brothers? father gets to know that vampires exist in real life to, not only in
old legends. So he started to hunt them and when he catches one he locks it
inside a tomb. Both Damon and Stefan thinks she?s dead and they are really sad
about the thought of not being with the most wonderful and gorgeous creature in
world anymore.
After a couple of centuries they meet each other again and then Katherine tells
Damon that she has never loved him. Stefan was the person she actually loved.
Damon gets really depressed and starts to hunt and kill people again.

I think that his story has a lot to do with how he is nowadays. He wants do be
this cool and macho guy, but inside he?s just as weak as everyone. Damon always
says that vampires don?t have feelings, but from my opinion they have feelings
just as we humans have. They just know how to hide them from other people and
that?s something impossible for many humans. You can hide some of your feelings
and thoughts, but when it comes to a point when it?s too much you can?t hide
them from everyone anymore.
Just think how great it would be if we were vampires, because then we wouldn?t
have to think about how much you?ll get hurt and life would be so much easier
if we could hide our feelings for some people.

The author is also trying to get Damon a bit mysterious and fearsome and that?s
something you can se in how she describes the environment when he is going to
come forward in the story:
?´Damon!´ Icy wind whipped Elena?s hair around her face, tearing at her light
sweater. Oak leaves swirled among the rows of granite headstones, and the trees
lashed their branches together in a frenzy?This weather was a show of his
power, meant to frighten her away? She turned and gasped. He was just behind
her, so close that her clothes brushed his as she turned??


Why the author Lisa J Smith described Damon as this handsome, mysterious, bad
guy is because she want?s us to see that it?s not the outside of people we
should judge. It?s the inside and Damon is a great example of how we are
judging people from the first meeting until you?ll actually knows what?s inside
the person.
When you start to read about Damon you think that he is this bad, gorgeous man
everyone wants, but after a couple of chapters you?ll see that he has a long
history behind. Inside he?s this small person who?s really nice and good, but I
think he doesn?t know how to show it in a proper way. Why he has to be proper
in the way he is, is because he is still living in 1864 when they had to act in
a special way when you wanted to be nice apart from now. I don?t think he
really knows how to behave for being good.
We have problems with judging people in our world to. In some cases if you see
someone and you don?t like his or her clothes, hair or body sculpture, the
first thing you think is that ?Oh my god, I can?t be with that person because
he or she is so ugly so he or she has to be a really bad person and I don?t
want to look bad in front of others?. Thinking that way isn?t good for anyone
so that?s why everyone has to try to get to know the person a little more
inside than just outside. I think that?s the best for everyone!
