Writing Assignment 13: Writing a Compare-Contrast Paragraph about Vampires vs. Werewolves

BLOOD SUCKERS AND HEAD RIPPERS Although vampires and werewolves have something in common, they are actually quite different from each other. First of all, the time of the transformation is different. While the vampire transform at nights, the werewolves transform on a full moon. Vampires cannot come out during the day because they melt or burn when they see the sun. In contrast, werewolves can only turn to their were form during a full moon and the rest of the time they are almost indistinguishable from other humans. Secondly, they transform others differently. A vampire transforms people into vampires by sucking their blood usually from their necks. On the other hand, a werewolf transforms other humans into werewolves by scratching or biting them. The only common thing in transforming others is that the victim is in pain during the transformation progress. Finally, they are not equally strong. A vampire is immortal and do not age. However, werewolves are mortal and age like normal humans. A vampire can fly and is faster than a werewolf, but a werewolf is stronger than a vampire. All in all, although a werewolf seems more powerful than a vampire, being a vampire is more charismatic than being an aggressive and animalistic werewolf.

    I chose this specific quote because I could relate to it in some ways such as feeling numbness, and zoning out or stepping out of reality to think about what is truly happening. This quote also stuck out to be the first time I read it and I was just very intrigued by it. My picture accurately depicts the quote because I drew two different Elies; the pair of legs that is still represents Elie stepping out of reality whereas the pair of legs that is running shows the Elie that is still in reality and running in order to survive and arrive at the next destination without dying. This quote is significant because it depicts that even when these men are running to survive, their minds are elsewhere and that their only goal is to survive until they…

    Though I am not an avid fan of the Twilight series, I felt compelled to distinguish the differences between the vampires in each film. I must admit that I have read all five of the Stephanie Meyer novels (only partial of the 5th installment) in the series, and of course, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Though the novels are separated by a century wide gap, the traditional aspect of the vampire remains nearly the same. Special characteristics of each according to the novels, however, differ greatly.…

I mean there are several films and books dedicated to vampires such as “Dracula but the famous books and films of my teenager years the “Twilight Saga” which relate the story of a teenage vampire who falls in love with a mortal, but there are werewolves involved as well.

    There are five different options to choose from when deciding to serve the United States of America and the decision can be quite challenging when signing the dotted line. Most people will base their decision off family or friend affiliation with a particular branch, thorough research, or simply because a branch would get them into basic training sooner. Due to a personal experience deploying with the Army as an Air Force member and seeing first-hand how each branch operates was an eye opening experience. There are a variety of options and all five branches are ultimately serving as one; the United States Air Force and the United States Army are two very different branches, but also have key similarities.…

    An explanation in its purest form of “What it’s like to be a Black Girl (for those of you who aren’t)” by Patricia Smith, is just that, an explanation. From the first three syllables “First of all,” the author gives a sense of a story being told. She uses jagged sentence structure and strong forceful language to also show the reader the seriousness of her topic. Smiths poem gives the audience an insider’s view into a young black girl’s transition into black woman-hood at a time where both being a black girl and a black woman was not as welcomed.…

    From childhood we have heard thousands of stories of monsters, vampires, chupacabras, omnis, etc.. but bearing in mind they are a fantasy.

    Gothic Horror is a term used to depict fictitious work that has incorporated a lot of horror scenes as well as elements of the unreal world, exploring the conflict between good and evil and dealing with the supernatural in some sort of way. The episodic novel Dracula written by Bram Stoker in 1897 and the movie Blade by Stephen Norrington created in 1998 bring to the fore many conventions relating to the Gothic Horror genre despite their vastly different contexts. Gothic elements of imprisonment, eccentricity and death are clearly represented through each of the texts. Stoker and Norrington present these conventions through a variety of literary and film techniques, paying particular attention to character and setting to explore the elements of the genre. Through these interactions, the audience can feel a sense of Gothic Horror in which the composers of the two texts aim to convey.…

    Out of all the characters in the book, I think my personality is the most similar to Beth. One of the similarities we have is that we both like to show our parents that were growing up and that were individual. At the beginning of the book when Beth was driving her family to the airport, she would try to act as if not going on the vacation didn't make her sad, she wanted to prove to her mom that she can handle being by herself for a long period of time. For example, when her mom said that she was sad that beth had to stay in the cold weather while the rest of the family was in the warm and beautiful Phuket, Beth answered with “I like the winter mom.” The reason she said this is because…

    Like Adam, the creature was launched into this world without a choice in who he is, how he’ll look like, and whether he initially wanted to be created. Adam, created by God, was the first of his kind designed in the image of affection and selflessness. Comparably, Frankenstein’s creation was flung, into the world of humans, the first of his kind; however, in an immense frame and a grotesque exterior. God had designed Adam in the image of beauty to, firstly, be accepted by society; however, it seemed that Frankenstein dismissed this matter. Frankenstein constructed his ‘human’ to be very tall, standing at about 8 feet, and with gruesome features: a pale face and yellow-like eyes, which lead the society to reject and loathe the ‘Being’.…
