"I quit," Sammy says as he takes up for three young girls. I believe that the actions Sammy took made him a heroic character. Three reasons on why I believe that Sammy was a heroic character is because he quits his jobs to sand up for the girls, defends the girls, and becomes a complex character. First of all, Sammy is a heroic character because he quits his job to stand up for the girls. Lengel says, "Sammy, you don't want to do this to you're Mom and Dad."…

Bram Stoker’s name will forever live on throughout centuries and centuries.…

Did you know, that most of stories will have a protagonist and an antagonist. Their purpose is to express the goals of the main characters in a particular story.

Dracula by Bram Stoker illustrates a fearful character that has been manipulated in all kinds of perplexing ways through a range of mediums. Earlier adaptations between 1930-1970, Universal Productions conveyed Dracula as an irrefutably heinous creature, likewise, in Hammer Films (1950-1970) except with further implementations of violence and sex. As times have changed however, we witness Dracula change from a character of abjection and abhor to one with compassion, human becoming in Francis Ford Coppola’s film, Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) and Genndy Tartakovsky’s film, Hotel of Transylvania (2012). However, a more recent Universal Production adaptation, Dracula Untold (2014) may prove otherwise. Overall, with influences of context, Count…

He becomes heroic and over protective to women who wouldn’t bat their eyes at him.…

I am curious to know if his novel has any significant meaning behind it, maybe fantasies or dreams that he had during his childhood. His style of writing is definitely unique compared to other authors within this time period. Why he chose to create an intellectually superior female character would be another question of mine.…
