Background:
Authors use monsters in stories to start conversations about cultural relationships. In other
words, stories with monsters are never really just about Monsters; they’re about us and our
relationship with Others, Otherness, etc. Night of the Living Dead, Twilight, When Darkness
Falls, and Walking Dead are all creative responses using monsters to carry a message, a
lesson, a warning, an awareness etc about how we treat others, how others treat us, etc.
Essay Options:
Option 1:
Using the term “Monsters”, please write a 2-3 page essay that defines what is a “Monster”. For
this essay, adopt a clear definition and use examples from our texts to support your definition.
You may use outside research, and you should keep in mind that you much have clear symbols
that identify a Monster for you, and include a rebuttal to address other definitions.
Option 2:
Imagine you are an artist (a painter, filmmaker, photographer, digital design artist, video game
designer, architect, cartoonist, dancer, etc) and you’ve chosen Monsters to carry a sociohistorical message about Otherness (race, class, gender, sexuality, etc). Think from the author/
artist’s lens and submit a 2-3 page essay that “pitches” for an art project using Monsters to
carry a message about Otherness. After you describe your art project, you must DEFEND your
creative choices to the reader, providing details about the project and explaining why, what,
and how those choices effectively carry the message. Please include textual references to
support your ideas.
Option 3:
Compare and contrast King’s “Why We Crave Horror Movies” with Klosterman’s “My Zombie,
Myself…” in 2-3 page essay where you analyze whether they have the same argument or a
different argument about horror in people’s lives. For this essay, you should focus on analyzing
the texts and not use outside research.
Option 4:
Why do you think America has shifted from loving to fear vampires to loving to fear zombies?
Analyze the difference between the zombie as a monster and the vampire as a monster in a 2-3
page essay. For this essay, adopt a clear definition of a monster and use examples from our
texts to support how society uses Zombies and Vampires different. You should focus on the
texts from class, and you should keep in mind that you much have clear symbols that identify a
Monster for you, and include a rebuttal to address other definitions.
Essay Requirements:
An introduction that provides context on the topic, eases the reader into your essay, and has a
“hook” that grabs people’s attention
A thesis statement or controlling idea that takes a stand
Transitional topic sentences that are clear, provocative, and develop your thesis and provide
unity in your essay
Body paragraphs that help prove your argument
Plenty of support from the texts: Remember you must have a minimum of pieces of evidence
from the topic you choose
(PARAPHRASING DOES NOT COUNT AS A QUOTE)
For each quote, please use the direct model discussed in-class
Some analysis of all your supporting examples
A conclusion that offers some ideas about what can be done about the situation
Strong sentences that are both grammatically correct and sophisticated
Use proper MLA formatting, in-text citations, and Works Cited entries. NOT having proper MLA

debate)?

Have you organized your reasons into a logical order (e.g. placing the strongest reason last and

quotes from authorities? .
