Question

WILL MAKE BRAINLIEST!
BUT HAVE TO ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS

Lines 65–67: What is the impact of this personal detail?

[TEXT] When I first read Dracula I seriously considered hanging
garlic on my windows because I believed that vampires could
exist.

Lines 72–83: What are two ways a person in a horror story may become a source of horror? What is Russell’s purpose for describing the source of horror in stories?

[TEXT] Yet another way of categorizing works of horror is by the
source of the horror. Some horror comes from inside the
characters. Something goes wrong inside, and a person turns
into a monster. Dr. Frankenstein’s need for knowledge turns
him into the kind of person who creates a monster. Dr. Jekyll
also values his desire for information above all else, and
creates Mr. Hyde.[4] In another kind of horror story the threat
to the central character or characters comes from outside. An
outside force may invade the character and then force the evil
out again. The vampire attacks the victim, but then the victim
becomes a vampire and attacks others. Stories of ghosts or
demonic possession also fall into this category.

Answer 1

Hi Razer,

1. To understand the impact of the personal detail, ask yourself what the author of the excerpt must be feeling. If they are considering hanging garlic on their windows after reading Dracula, then they must be feeling _____ or _____. (HINT: They're definitely not feeling at ease or brave).

2. We need to find two ways that a person in a horror story may become a source of horror. There are many examples of this in the excerpt.

• "Some horror comes from inside the characters."                                 Now we need to find an example of this. Oh wait, the excerpt already gave one; Frankenstein. Why does Frankenstein go mad? Because his passion for knowledge takes over all his other traits and drives him to sacrifice his moral compass. So think about it--what might drive us to go mad internally? There are many possible answers.
• "An outside force may invade the character and then force the evil out again."                                                                                                        Think about an instance in which a character is penetrated by an evil entity. (HINT: Film, The Conjuring).
