Gothic Literature

Gothic literature is most effective in emphasizing supernatural elements. In Frankienstien, the monster is this supernatural element. Although the monster may be used as a horrific creature, it conveys more of a supernatural feel. The monster is a concoction of human body parts used to create "the perfect person." Altimatley, the creation of such a thing isn't as horrific as it is paranormal.

Haunted Horror

Mary Shelly starts "Frankienstien" with letters from an adventurer to his sister. This leads into the story of "the stranger." Although I love the concept. I would start a "ghost story" a bit differently. I want something that would really wheel a reader in. Start it off with a BANG!  I don't know exactly how I would start it. It would depend on the content of the story. I just know that I want the first words to stick with the reader. Maybe even start it with a short phrase like "It's just the beginning..."

"Let me be your hero baby"

If I was a superhero, I would not allow anyone to know my secret identity. I would help people to make the world a better and safer place, not for the fame. If people knew who I was, than they may try to send me rewards. That is not what being a superhero means! Being a superhero mean helping those in need and not expecting anything in return. To be a superhero means to be selfless. It is just not possible to be selfless and expect to receive money or rewards. I would save people because I want a better world for the next billion generations to grow up in. Hopefully, people will be influenced by some unknown super hero and actually become more loving and caring.
