I do not believe that Pulp Fiction will inspire more violence in the community. I believe that people decide to do violent actions on his or her own. Producers should not have to produce a movie that is not violent because they are worried about other peoples’ actions.

In most horror stories and movies, the main character is most likely a monster, however, in the film “The Bride of Frankenstein”, to me, the monster…

Allusions are a powerful literary tool that authors use to enhance novels. By using allusions, readers can connect concepts, and main ideas to better understand them. An allusion is a reference to a person, place, thing or event. In the Novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley used allusions to Milton's Paradise Lost.

In Grendel you can have more of an emotional connection rather than just seeing him in Beowulf as a big ugly monster…
