O’Brien tells us, “On the third day, Curt Lemon stepped on a boobytrapped 105 round” (O’Brien 74). That night, Rat tortures a baby water buffalo he finds with his buddies. He shoots the buffalo in many different parts of its body without killing it. It is described how, “It wasn’t to kill; it was to hurt” (O’Brien 75).
Dracula learns that the group are plotting against him and feeds Mina his own blood to control her. In the final fight, humanity wins over the creature as they can kill him and Mina’s mind from his “spell.” The premise
The word ‘prey,’ a chilling noun used to represent one being hunted. The word ‘prey’ is an obvious “it depends how you use it word, but how Bram Stoker uses it in Dracula is truly evil. Although Bram Stoker uses the word ‘prey’ figuratively through Dracula, when used literally it is at its most chilling. Stoker is using ‘prey’ commonly like anybody in our modern times would. Saying that something is “preying at one’s mind” or like a nag in more subtle terms.
Gross vampire bats kill them all. Vampire bats should be killed because they can be damaging to livestock and also, they spread diseases, rabies and many others. I disagree to keep the bats because according to the article Los Angeles Times Oliva said, “Adult vampire bats which have a wingspan of 8 inches swoop down by the hundreds over his herd land on the ground and grab onto the cows underbellies face and other parts of their bodies and lick up their blood. One reason why bats should be killed is that they can be damaging to livestock. For example, Vampire bats can swoop down by the hundreds over a herd of cattle.
Quenching the Thirst: Are we talking about lemons? Vampires have problems in their marriage just like most humans do except that there is no “Until death do us part” in Karen Russel’s story “Vampires In The Lemon Grove”. Magreb and Clyde are vampires that are quenching their thirst together for eternity. Their choice of residence is in a Lemon Grove that satisfies their thirst with the lemons.
Richard Chase was given the name “The Vampire of Sacramento” during his killing spree in California. Chase put fear into the United States with his gruesome killings and unusual behavior. Some of this behavior included drinking his victim’s blood, killing animals, and injecting rabbit blood into his body. Schizophrenia played a large part in his motive for the killing. It created hallucinations and delusions making him believe he need to ingest human blood to stop his own from turning to dust.
I would agree with the perceptional insights when we decide to engage with people based on what we think we know about a situation. Though we base our interpretation on our own life and not looking at the situation through their life. Like you stated, we will never know what it is like to be that person. This is just like Nagel's bat analogy, we can observe and make inferences, but we will never know what it is like to be the bat. I think the materialistic observation fits in hear as well.
A battle between good and evil is a common plot to Dracula. The forces of evil, Count Dracula and other vampires (the un-dead), try to take over Britain. The novel heroes Dr. Van Helsing, Dr. John Seward, Johnathan Haker, Quincy Morris, and Arthur Holmwood are the first responders for this evil invasion of the British Empire. In the novel the characters Dracula and Van Helsing play a major role for being the leaders of their respective groups, therefore they controlled the actions of their groups.

Based on my demographic profile I would expect myself to be liberal as I am a young black protestant female. The key factors that influenced my location on the spectrum are my race, gender, religion, geographic location and my age. Women tended to be liberal for they believe that they should be the one to have the authority to decide issues that consider their body. They tend to be prochoice they tend to support the humanity and pride of all pregnant people in deciding whether they carry a pregnancy to term, how they give birth, and whether they parent the child they give birth to . More so they are firm believers of equal pay and marriage equality, these are political ideologies that are liberal in nature.
What would it be like to be a vampire? What would it be like to have a vampire in one’s life? What were the vampires of folklore like?

His vampire brides assist to Dracula’s dark deeds. What they all have in common is that they prey upon humans. On the other hand, the characters that are considered “good” in the novel are Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, John Seward, Quincey Morris and Arthur Holmwood. Throughout the novel, the good characters are constantly doing generous deeds to save others from Dracula.
In order to defeat Dracula, the protagonists use both religion and rationalism; as a result, arguments in favour of both sides of the debate are presented, which makes it impossible to reduce Dracula to one side or the other. The vampire hunters rely heavily on faith and religious objects, such as crucifixes and the eucharist, which presents an argument in favour of looking beyond rationalism and science to faith. As noted above, Dracula, by his fantastic nature, is something that defies reason, and thus religion is necessary to explain what rationalism cannot. Van Helsing makes a case for this when he urges “I want you to believe… in things you cannot.…I heard once of an American who so defined faith: ‘that which enables us to believe things
Danijela Akrapovic ENGL 1104-70 John Berke Chapter 8 questions 2/2/2018 Vampires Never Die Questions on Meaning 1. “With “The vampire” Polidori gave birth to the two main branches of vampiric fiction: the vampire as a romantic hero, and the vampire as a undead monster (Del Toro and Hogan, par.4). I believe, del Toro and Hogan wrote this essay because they wanted to give details of how vampires are made and analyze the motivation behind why they never die. Their purpose was to also draw comparisons on how these two-vampire fictions are similar in the myth and philosophy with angels. They likewise demonstrate how science has an extensive influence in what vampires are viewed as.
