Examples Of Monsters Aren T Born They Are Made

What makes a monster a monster can be interpreted in many ways. A monster can be defined as an animal, plant, threatening force, strange terrifying shape, or something that is monstrous. Defining a monster is based upon a personal interpretation of what people deem monstrous. C. J. Roberts, an author from Captive in The Dark once said “monsters aren’t born, they’re made”. In my opinion, I agree. From the society, we live in today, most people are created into monsters by negative surroundings, pain, and failure. Ellsworth Johnson is a classic exemplar of this matter. Ellsworth Johnson was an American mob boss from Harlem, New York. Johnson was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Per The Guardian, Johnson received the nickname “bumpy” due to a large bump on the back of his head. At only 10 years old, his older brother was accused of killing a white man, which caused Johnson to have temper and insolence issues towards other races. At only 15 years old, Johnson became influenced by the wrong crowd, and participated in drugs, and criminal activities. After while his parents became worried and moved to Harlem, New York where trouble for Johnson continued and worsened. Johnson wasn’t born a monster, he became one.
From committing many different crimes like burglaries, and thefts Johnson talents became noticed by Stephanie St. Clair. Clair was a mob boss who ran numerous criminal enterprises in Harlem, New York. Queen Clair made Johnson her right-hand man which caused more trouble for them both. He also met a notorious gangster name Dutch Schultz. Dutch had a bad reputation as well, and was known as the “beer baron”. From my perspective, a monster is defined by their actions. Johnson became a vicious killer, robber, extortionists, and all around weasel. From his actions, he became the King-Pin of Harlem crimes for over forty
