Mythology in a TV Show?

Everyone has their own favorite television show and, for me, there is only one show that can hold that spot and it is Teen Wolf. Teen Wolf is a supernatural drama and first aired in 2011 on MTV. I remember because I was 14 years old and my parents said I could not watch it because it would give me nightmares and it was too ghoulish. I eventually persuaded my parents to let me watch it; however, I sometimes think that they were right. The show can be pretty creepy. The show stars actor Tyler Posey and his character's name on the show is Scott McCall, an awkward teenager with asthma who attends Beacon Hills High School which is located in fictional Beacon Hills, California. Scott turns into a supernatural werewolf after …show more content…

I worked hard to perfect my skills and I evolved into a pretty good athlete. At first, Scott's new supernatural powers scared him. He often would wonder if he was an alpha werewolf or just simply a monster. He even tried to cure himself but, as the show evolved, Scott embraced his new found powers and used his abilities for good by protecting his family and his friend from outside threats and supernatural forces. Teen Wolf is a show where in every episode there will be a surprise or a shocking moment. The visual and special effects are out of this world, very dramatic. When it comes to the visuals, there is just no other television show that can compare to Teen Wolf.

So what makes Teen Wolf so good? In my opinion, the writers of this show are genius. The show has theater quality effects, but it's not a movie, it's made for TV, bonus! The world of Teen Wolf is a very large universe and it often increases in size which maintains the excitement of watching the series. It's a universe where hunters are in constant competition against the wolves and Scott and his friends are caught in the middle. The writers keep you on the edge of your seat by holding your focus. The writers accomplish this major feat by always introducing new and

There is a dichotomy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: sinner or saint. Several characters are able to bridge this: Spike and Buffy being two of the notable examples, playing both roles throughout the series. However, the female vampires of the series consistently fall into the latter category of sinner, and not only that, but a sexually deviant or hyper sexualized sinner. There are no recurring female vampires in the show that do not become categorized in this extreme way. Willow is only a vampire in two different episodes (“The Wish” and “Dӧppelgangland”), yet the transformation that she undertakes is startling.

According to Victor and Edith Turner, a liminoid pilgrimage is a “[rite] of transition marked by three phases: separation, limen or margin, and aggregation” (p. 2).

They learn lessons on their journey and come out as changed people that barely resemble the characters in the traditional stories.

However, it is most likely because Scott got stronger. Something else to back this up is, on page 239 Scott easily handles his old friend Kyle who is on the wrestling team and is bigger than Scott. Another piece of evidence is that on pages 126 – 150 Scotts’ voice starts cracking showing a change in his voice as it is getting deeper. The last point is, on page 240 he makes a point about how he is out growing his clothes, which means he is getting taller and bigger.

Greek Mythology and its Influences on Modern Society By Jenna Marie A. Macalawa, Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite Campus 2014 Myths are not dissimilar to fairy tales, legends, and sagas, but its period is distinctly different from usual existential time. It is considered as an expression of childhood experiences, and it also explains the origin and meaning of the world. According to Long (1994), “The term mythology may describe a certain body of myths, for example, Greek, African, or Scandinavian, or it may refer to the study of myths” (p.694). These collections of narratives are superior when it comes to influencing different areas of knowledge.
