Foster states that the essentials of the Vampire story are vampires preying on young woman in order to lure them into joining vampires. However, Foster additionally states that Vampire story does not have to be about vampires only. For instance, Foster gives an example of “governess who tries, without success, to protect the two children in her care from a particularly nasty ghost who seeks to take possession of them” (Foster 18). Through this example, Foster proves that Vampire story can be in any from without including any instance of vampire literally.

Professor Jeffrey Weinstock a professor in an English department in the Central Michigan University wrote the article “Vampires, Vampires, Everywhere!” Weinstock talks about how vampires are everywhere from cereal boxes to horror movies, and he explains certain principles that most vampire stories go by. The fist principle explains that all of the vampire stories are all about sex. He assumes that it is due to establish and reinforce proper sexual roles. A good example that he gives us is Lugosi’s Dracula in 1931. The second principle that he mentions is that the vampire is more appealing to the audience than those who pursue it. He argues that vampires seek self-satisfaction and eternal life, therefore explaining why it seems appealing to

Pale, bloodthirsty, and fangs are some words that trigger readers’ minds with one particular being: a vampire. These creatures have been around for centuries and it is evident how they are all portrayed with negativity, including in Bram Stoker’s novel: Dracula. Jonathan Harker, a lawyer who goes to Transylvania to meet with his new client, Count Dracula, to discuss the topic of purchasing a property in England. Over the course of his stay, he discovers that the host is actually a nosferatu (vampire in Latin). Jonathan nearly escapes and finds himself in Hospital of St. Joseph and Ste.

Prisilia: The pod people’s goal and ways of obtaining it are similar to those done by Dracula. The pod people begin converting the entire town of Santa Mira. This is successfully done because Miles, the town doctor was gone from the town on a conference. This gives the aliens enough time to get the towns people turned. However, when the pod people find out that Miles and Becky are still human and refuse to cooperate, they send in their friends and previous allies in the form of Danny and Jack. If it were not for them, Miles would have never opened the door. In a similar way, Dracula uses Lucy and later on Mina to try and deflect Jonathan and his friends from successfully guarding off and eventually finishing Dracula’s master plan of taking

The techno music is bumping in the official vampire community dance club where vampires and vampirettes come together for their ritualistic weekend fun during daylight hours. I see Lanzone feeding his pet werewolf at the bar with friends while playing beer pong. I shake my head with disgust at how some vampires take on human activities. The waitresses are walking around serving drinks mixed with blood and champagne, which we call ‘Bloody Marys’, to anyone willing to take a glass and toast to good times. I prefer a Super Bloody Mary where the blood is dripping off the side of the glass with a strawberry inside. Everyone is dressed to impress in their fashionable capes and women wearing tight latex or leather suites, some black and red, violet and black, but most have some hints of black because that is a vampire’s favorite color. We are all having a good time. I take a look at my watch and notice that it is about 5pm in the afternoon, really late in vampire terms, only 4 hours until darknesses and the day starts.Then, suddenly, Brezina comes busting through the doors looking sexy as ever, dressed in a skintight latex suit gripping every part of her body comfortably. A perfect match to her long dark flowing hair, distinctive vampirette makeup pattern, and the softest, milky skin I have ever laid eyes on. She is the most delectable treat that other vampirettes are jealous of. Even the boys, including Lanzone at the bar stop his festivities to take a long lustful look at her.

“A Disease with a Bite: Vampirism and Infection Theories in Bram Stoker’s Dracula” is a literary analysis of Dracula that looks at vampirism in the novel in the context of the medical knowledge during the Victorian era from when it was published. The analysis is essentially saying that vampirism in the novel was intended by Stoker to be a metaphor for disease. As a disease, vampirism in the novel has similarities to diseases known at the time of publishing along with concepts of how it was thought that disease was spread: miasmatism, contagionism, and germ theory. Vampirism can also be associated with animal related diseases like rabies and the bubonic plague through the way that Dracula can manipulate and morph into animals. Lastly, vampirism

Monsters can refer to strange-looking creatures, such as Protoceratops, Godzilla, and Cyclops. Monsters can also be the unnatural beings that share something in common with humankinds, such as vampires, and zombies. In traditional folklores, they were both considered as creatures that will bring fatal illness and gave viruses and bacteria (Day 12). Along with the spread of vampire stories from Eastern Europe to America, vampires often show the potential for improvement (Butler 89). Zombies, however, were initially popularized in Haitain, but the story of zombies make them only gotten worse after it came to America, and today they are known as basically human garbage (Butler 92) It seems that vampires occupy the summit of the supernatural world, while zombies remain stuck at the bottom (Butler 90). But no matter how ultimately different forms that vampires and zombie present, it seems that the breakdown of society is unavoidable.

The origins of the female vampire in literary fiction of Victorian period arise from male anxiety of the ‘Other’, epitomized in a form of powerful and authoritative, thus dangerous, woman threatening the patriarchal power and domination. The vampire genre provided appropriate literary platform for writing about these anxieties and sexual desires through allegories of vampirism without specifically defining its subversive ideas; delivering them as ambiguous and cryptic. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu even furthered the idea of vampire genre by presenting the first lesbian vampire, Carmilla. The vampire text became a medium for exposing the 'forbidden and unmentionable ' perceptions undermining the heteronormative discourses of Victorian society.

This semester overall was very insightful and this class showed me that we have to broaden our way of thinking to be able to achieve a sound solution, and that means getting out of that loop of hopelessness by looking at knowledge, power, structure, agency and sound solutions from anthroholic view. Focusing our first section we started the semester with is knowledge. The case study that sticks out when I think about knowledge is our first case study that focuses on the question of who owns knowledge. When it comes to who owns knowledge we have to keep in mind what type of knowledge is available.

As one of the most attractive and enduring figures in the Gothic literature, the vampires have moved from being a peripheral element with the genre to a place near the center and are capable of generating its own massive tradition now. In the recent literary history, they have already been adapted to play a role of a rebel against the moral, social, religious, and even sexual taboos. Put simply, the vampires are now a metaphor of human beings in the modern society and life.

Relationships between vampires and humans were forbidden. Humans were used for feeding purposes only. Of course, like in every society, there were the individuals who disobeyed set rules. Yoongi and Hoseok were one of them.

Did you know that insomnia, confusion, and headaches are produced by the radiation off of your cell phone. I feel like cell phones should not be aloud in school. If students brought their phones to school they would be on themwhen a teacher is teaching, not paying attention to the lesson therefore inception to fail that class. Researchers have found out that if students did not bring their phones to school their grades would begin increasing, moreover their test scores would improve by an average of 6%.The reason I understand why phones should be outlawed from school is they can become a distraction in school, students would desire to cheat, then students would be able to cyberbully during school hours.
