Dracula part 3 Blog
Now that I have met the character Dracula, I think he’s become such a fixture in pop culture because he is the original “monster” to ever be written. I think Dracula stands as a test of time because he is unlike any of the monsters that came after him, in all honestly their reinvented copies …
Literature Out of Humanities 101 Blog
If I could leave one piece of literature or topic out of Humanities 101 it would be maybe the Sherlock Holmes stories. I say this only because I feel like although Sherlock Holmes set the path of a lot of detective stories, movies, and shows that we have today, I also feel like it’s not …

Invisible Blog
If I found a way to be invisible I think initially I was test out my invisibility by finding someone I know and talk to them to make sure it actually worked. I would probably be a bit freaked out myself because I would have to learn how to turn my invisibility on and off. …
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Blog
I think what makes the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, everlasting is that the premise of the story is relevant in all time periods. Everyone has a part of themselves or “Hyde” within them that comes out ever now and again. Dr. Jekyll wanting to bring that part of himself out in the …
