Sophie became a more understanding person by learning to become friends with other unique people. “Miss (Jenna) Talbot is the only vampire student we currently have.” (Hawkins 30).

Raphael sat in front of me looking like he had simply stepped off the catwalk. He was pure hotness as always. "Baby, you rock my world! Never have I wanted to be someone's man as I desire to be yours; I'm nothing without you Harriet." I slammed the book shut and pushed it away. I'm not Harriet, I'm Gracie Carteri. I'm seventeen and the most unpopular girl in the world—what could be worse than that. It could be a lot worse. Who am I to complain? I mean, it's not like it bothers me. I have…

In many contemporary stories of heros and villains, the hero always finds a way to ultimately defeat the evil. One famous example of this would be Batman. He is an ordinary man but still finds ways to defeat the evil that seemingly always pegs Gotham. He faces many challenges along the way, both internal and external, but they just motivate him more. The day gets saved by him and everyone has a happy ending, at least for that day. This whole concept of good defeating evil appeared long before…

a huge believer of treating everyone nicely unless they give her a reason otherwise. She absolutely hated gossip and rumors, found no reason to do so. “That’s not very nice, Ye Sol.” Said friend quickly defended herself. “I overheard some strange things about that guy in my Math class the other day.” She shut her mouth when he was within hearing distances, then spoke again, her voice lowered. “The club he’s leading is like some weird cult. They believe mystical creatures are real. And before…

The supernatural was something people in this era heavily believed and intrigued by, or like others, like Jonathan who did not believe in such things. Stoker writes“ But my very feelings changed to repulsion and terror when I saw the whole man slowly emerge from the window and begin to crawl down the…

What kind of stories do you like to read? What kind of stories do you think kids should read in school? I think that kids should read scary stories. Why would I think this? I would have asked you the same thing had you asked me a week ago. I’ve always enjoyed scary stories.
