Composites Monsters

Kawin states “You made us things! Not men, not beasts. Part men, Part beast- Things” ( 102).

In the fictional world today and in the past, monsters are viewed as horrific characters and sometimes even heroes. In some movies, monsters even confide in a love life that is actually sometimes active with humans. As described within the book, the multiple examples of movies and books show the love life and the different interactions with humans during the monster age. Most of the chapter talks about the love within the monsters and the sexual interaction that requires humans. In conclusion, monsters are seen as dreadful companions but they can also develop a relationship and get the audience going with what is seen as a scary yet romantic movie.

My favorite part is when he stated “One of the early uses of “monster”in English refers to imaginary creature made up of the parts of two or more animals, one of which might be human”(99). I defiantly agree about how they create a monster and I feel like people can argue on this subject because there are people out there who want to know who made the monster and why it existed in our society. Why we think too much about horror in our head, for sure it still demands in mind and its next level thinking. I was thinking of why author is writing this, as I read an interesting part that made me think and make a connection to our society. “You made us things! Not men, not beasts. Part men, Part beast- Things” (Kawin 102). This scientist wasn’t only a scientist of college but a killer and acted like a god. Imagine how people can talk is no limit for them just like in our society this scientist should be in the serial killer world record book or FBI most wanted But I guess it never happened, never caught him because they didn’t have technology In the society, right at this momen we live in advanced technology where a killer has improved to be perfect, If killers watch this, they get an idea of how to escape from the law and how to kill innocent people for no reason. Maybe there is reason, but still, just to see in how it looks in his mind is disgusting and you ask the 5W’s Question to yourself.

Monsters and The Moral Imagination

This article “Monsters and Moral Imagination” by Stephen T. Asma, is about how monsters play a big role on human moral imagination and how humans create emotions with monsters. The author argues that monsters do exist in society but in fiction, a figure of imagination don’t exist. Its a sign that we need to fear them and allows us to imagine situations of dealing with a real monster. The purpose of monsters are to guide people and teach them how to react in moments of unexplained events. 
Asma states “My own view is that the concept of monsters can not be erased from our language and thinking”

(Asma 66).Asma states “My own view is that the concept of monsters can not be erased from our language and thinking” (Asma 66).

From my point of view, Asthma is trying to say we all have a monster inside of us that we hide. When we hide them, we make them real and believe it. My favorite line that Asma said was, “The goal is to be prepared, not scared, to use our heads, and cut off theirs” (Asma 63), I love this quote because monsters play a big role in society. It’s not just something that can disappear but its something we have to be prepared for and try to beat ourselves so we don’t feel scared.


Monsters, Klosterman, “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead”

From my point of view Klosterman relates zombies to our daily lives. He is suggesting to us that we need to challenge ourselves to think better about how we deal with fear of rejection. The author is comparing monsters to humans. It is symbolizing obstacles and problems we have in our daily lives and that we deal with monsters everyday. I found it to be a very interesting article to read. I think it is very true and honest, how the author uses words from the past to compare modern day times.

The author states “Zombies are like the internet and the media and every conversation we don’t have” (Kolsterman 40).

In the book “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead by Chuck Klosterman he thinks that the overall comparison of dead zombies to the reality of ourselves. With our own reality we feel dead like a zombie if we are not active. Zombies have been steadily rising in popularity for the past 40 years. 

Why Vampires never die

The authors are stating “Polidori gave birth to the two main branches of vampiric fiction: the vampire as romantic hero and the vampire as undead monster” (Del Toro and Hogan 36).

The authors are explainng about two different monsters, one of them is romantic and the other is more of a dangerous monster. The two different types of vampires make you feel loved and the other makes you feel scared.

I think the authors is trying to say that there two types of people in this world. One is is trusting and loving and the other is trying to scare us and harm us.
