Monster: The Supernatural
Monsters have truly captivated me for multiple reasons. Some of the reasons being that they are supernatural.

A reason I enjoy monster stories is that they are about the supernatural. The supernatural is something beyond what you can find outside your door. The very definition of the supernatural a creature that is beyond the laws of nature. That’s why it is so interesting to me. Monster are actually pieces of imagination sprung forth as a brainchild from writers. Some are good others bad. The stories have all sorts of twists, turns, and remakes that change it.

    The lens through which readers encounter monsters is often a skewed one. This lens could be that of the author, who seeks to embody a monster as a horrific, non-human entity that will cause havoc in an area. Similarly, this lens could be that of a character in a piece, one who witnesses the monster’s wrath and destruction firsthand and hopes to avoid the cruel savage being. Monster narratives rarely unfold from the perceptive of the monster, and, as such, audiences must rely on other sources as to the monster’s course of action. Such voices can carry a bias with them. As in the case of the author, the omniscient perspective provides descriptions of the monster without directly interacting the monster. This perspective could easily fail to report…

    In writing his novel “Monster”, Walter Dean Myers used his experience to keep the judicial system relevant to his points while still realistic. Steve’s attorney, O’Brien, is honest about her role in the system to Steve, telling him, “My job is to make sure the law works for you as well as against you.” Instead of pretending to be crusading for a not guilty verdict, O’Brien tells the truth that she intends to help hunt down the truth both for and against Steve as an unbiased tool of the court. This means that she will insure that the jury’s predispositions do not change their verdicts, that the prejudice of the court doesn’t change the evidence given in court, and that the evidence against Steve is legitimate and/or nonexistent.…

    A genre such as supernatural horror is meant for an audience that desires to feel that rush of adrenaline running through their bodies. The purpose of this genre is to satisfy the curiosity of people that let their minds wander off about the supernatural world. The audience expects to get goosebumps, and to be on the edge of their seats while chewing their nails. If that is what a movie of this genre causes the audience, then the producers have done their job correctly. A supernatural horror movie targets and expands upon the audience's fear. Therefore, the supernatural genre has to frighten you in order for the film to be scary.…

    A Monster Calls, a fiction novel by Patrick Ness, would be rated a 9 out of 10 because it was a beautifully written book that grabbed hold of the audience’s attention and never let it go, but the ending could have been better. This book was chock-full of heart-wrenching, emotion inflicting scenes that could make the most stone cold person cry. The way that Patrick Ness brought Siobhan Dowd’s idea to life was extraordinary. Not only was Patrick Ness able to make an amazing idea into an even more amazing novel, but he also created characters that revealed the complexity of human nature and demonstrated the destruction caused by death. Another thing that was amazing about this book were the illustrations. Jim Kay’s drawings were beautiful, accentuated…

    One book read by the monster was Paradise Lost. This is the story of Satan and also the story of Adam and Eve. It tells about Satan’s fall from Heaven and also Adam and Eve’s sins. The monster relates to Adam because, like Adam, the monster is unlike any other thing of the time. But other than that, he says that he relates to Satan more. This contributes to a poor self-image for the monster. It makes him feel hated by his creator and worthless. If I could substitute another book in for Paradise Lost, I would choose Pinocchio. This story would show that when somebody creates something, no matter what it may seem like, the creator always loves his creation.…

    Monsters are imaginary creatures that humans created. People’s fears, worries, or anxieties have been used to create the fictional monsters. Monsters have features that society deem to be scary or bad. The novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and the novella The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka follow the story of a 'monster'. Pushed away from society, and labeled as an outcast, the monster is often hurt by the people around it. However, the monsters in these stories were not always monsters. They were once simple creatures, loving and kind, who were pushed away by society, turned into outcasts and deemed unfit to live among the rest of society. Once deemed unfit for society, both Frankenstein's monster and Gregor turned towards monstrosity. Both…

    Monsters always lie beyond the border of human comprehension. Humans fear what they don’t understand or have little knowledge of. In Jeffrey Cohen’s essay Monster Culture, he talks about how monsters are creatures that are difficult to categorize and comprehend beyond human logic. In our society today, even though marijuana has become legalized in more and more states, the nature of such a plant is still being demonized as the catalyst for sinful pleasure. Marijuana is not only listed as a class A drug, but also has been the cause of massive criminalization. In 2016, one anti-marijuana legalization advertisement, paid by Safe and Healthy MA organization, caught the public’s attention. The advertisement depicts the legalization of such a plant to be…

    In today's society, people are selfish and don't do anything unless it benefits themselves in one way or another. The reason why I like a good monster story is because they are based on our everyday society. All of the stories we have gone over this far throughout the year are for the most part have some connection with the real world. Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, and serial killers are all monsters that have a special connection to everyday society.…

    Kody Scott, also known as “Monster” for his viciousness in beating of a man and further crimes, forms a realistic and brutal picture of gang violence in America. Throughout his story, Scott views his gang participation as the only viable means of survival. Killing is done through the necessity to promote oneself in order to become an O.G., or Original Gangster, the pinnacle of gang member status and achievement. The urge to become an O.G. seems to be paramount in Scott's eyes, and he outlines his plan: first he must build his reputation, then his influence as part of his set, and finally as a “promoter” of the Crips (Shakur, 1993, pp. 14-15). By age eleven Scott's sole desire is to become a gang member of his local set, the Eight Trays. He disregards education, at one point stating how he paid no attention to his middle school teacher, focusing only on the streets and his “homeboys” as source of lifestyle and adventure (Shakur, 1993, pp. 3-4). He clearly reaches his goal, putting the entirety of his mental and physical being into being a gangster, even though it leads him to a life wreaked by violence and prison sentences.…
