The media has a certain way of portraying; better yet, glamorizing different types of professional careers. Be it a police officer to an attorney, to what I will be discussing today, science and/or scientist. The media i.e. TV and movies, makes these careers look so appealing, which is so not what the career is really. Science and scientist are often portrayed in the media to be something in the realms of the science in Jurassic Park and scientist are usually older men in white long coats…
and change from what they were before to something better or worse. Monsters have evolved from a storybook character to a being in the flesh with a motive to destroy. This definition is different from what the Anglo- Saxons believed was to be true; a real monster today is not a fictional character, they are very much…

MONSTERS AT WORK is a comedy that brings together some of the most famous icons in film history, such as the werewolf, Frankenstein’s Monster, and The Count (vampire). The idea of real-life monsters living among humans is a fun and enjoyable concept. The story conveys how even monsters have to struggle for a living and have personal issues. The story is also driven by the themes of tolerance and acceptance. Not everyone in this make-believe world accepts the monsters. This is certainly a nice…
interesting to read the original book that gave birth to one of the most iconic characters of all time. I will admit that the beginning was a little vapid, but as I read more of the book the story really started to pick up.
