Meanwhile, Simon was on the mountain discovering that the beast wasn’t real. When he went to tell the others, they thought he was the beast, and they attacked and killed him. These events are all the result of one common feeling. In chapter 9 of Lord of the Flies, William Golding employs
The specific word choice used to describe the gore scenes adds to the brutal environment of the Klondike. London can achieve the savage tone that is in “Call of the Wild” by describing it in detail. It was Buck’s first day at Dyea Beach after being kidnapped. He did not know what to expect, and was shocked by the savageness of the huskies there. “There was no warning, only a leap in like a flash, a metallic clip of teeth, a leap out equally swift, and Curly’s face was ripped open from eye to jaw.”
In chapter 5 of “Lord of the Flies” (Doc. F) He makes a brief comment on the “beast”. “Maybe there is a beast… What I mean is… Maybe it’s only us.”
This reinforces the idea that Grendel’s mother is also a monster, since put in the same position as the prior one. The two monsters, Grendel and his mother are also associated with the night as a time for action. This reinforces their animal-like behavior, and the monstrosity of their actions because they are not giving fair warning to the humans. The monstrosity of Grendel is also seen through his savagery when killing the men. He is carnivorous and feeds on human flesh.
In “The Lay of the Werewolf” by Marie de France, Bisclavret’s persona changes dramatically when he saw the knight at the king’s castle because Bisclavret is terrifying, vicious, and appalling afterwards. When Bisclavret saw the knight, he launched himself toward the knight and attempts to attack him by ripping him to shreds. Everyone in the king’s court and even the king were astonished by Bisclavret’s actions. It just wasn't like the docile and amiable Bisclavret everyone knew. Even though the king threatens Bisclavret, he still conspired to injure the knight.
Besides these characters, Golding uses conflict to portray his theme. When Simon gets murdered it shows the fear and the boys have. After Simons encounter with the Lord of the flies he runs back to the tribe to tell them what happened but is mistaken for the beast and the boys stab him to death. The boys have been deathly afraid of the beast their whole time on the island. "Kill
After reading "Scared to Death" by Ed Yong and "Wolf Family Values" by Sharon Levy, I have come to the conclusion that Sharon Levy 's article presents a stronger case. Levy wrote, "But Haber argued that by focusing on population size, the establishment has ignored the fact that the hunting of wolves warps their social structure, ripping apart the family times and traditions that define wolf society…." (Levy ll 16-18) In other words, killing wolves destroys the natural family unit. Destroying even one member of a pack can greatly impact the pack as a whole.
After his transformation, he became even crueler and more merciless than before. Accidently, Belle’s father was chasing by the wolves and went to the beast’s castle. Her father was imprisoned by the beast. In order to rescue her father, she agreed with the beast to live with him. Somehow, Belle found a chance to escape but she ran into danger.
A maned wolf is a candid and one of its ancestors is a dusicyon and they have been extinct. Scientist has said that the maned wolf has no link with any other living candids today. This is because the maned wolf is the only candid that survived the Pleistocene in brazil. Through lots of more studies that has been done over the years there are several animals that relate to the maned wolf but are extinct such as the
“From her throat trickled a thin stream of blood. Her eyes were mad with terror. “ As it is described in this scene from Dracula, the vampire was a monster spreading fear and terror, which is why he was celebrated as one of the most popular horror figures in the 20th century. His bite caused his victims to fall into decline until they died and while he afflicted them at night in their sleep, he had to rest in his coffin in the daytime. But considering the latest horror movies, the vampire is replaced by aliens, zombies, ghosts and even clowns, which are dominating the horror genre right now.
Modern day writers tend to talk about werewolves and their appearances, which usually occur on the nights of full moons. Which plays directly with their major appearances in horror and mythological stories. Werewolves even emerge in modern day shows and movies, such as Wizards of Waverly Place, the Twilight Saga series and Teen Wolf. Pertaining to the scenes of Werewolves, they are usually shown at night when there is a full moon present or when other creatures are nearby and they lose their self-control. It is as if they lose all control of their human self and become full wolf.

This tale follows a tragic event that happened in the small town of Warrenton, back when people rode in wagons and didn't have phones or electricity. This tale is called The White Dog, by S.E. Schlosser. It all starts with a traveling salesman and his dog, coming to sell his goods in the town. The salesman’s name was Samuel, but he insisted on everyone calling him Sam. Everyone said he was the nicest man you would ever meet, always a smile on his face, a joke on his tongue.
A tale as old as time consisted of one particular soul who’s story either made you weep in sorrow or fear for your life. He was said to be the most fearsome leader who ever walked the earth, embedding fear into all of his people. He resided in a castle on top of a hill, looming over the land he ruled below it. The man in the castle was known as Jasper Vanderbilt, the son of a noble family who resided in the mountainous region of North Carolina. He was a cruel man, who punished villagers without a trace of remorse.
In “The Lay of the Werewolf”, Bisclavaret was able to see the true identity of humans when he took on his disguised identity. An archetype of a disguised identity is present through Bisclavaret, and also his wife, which sheds light onto her betrayal to him. Archetypes are details, plot patterns, character types, or themes that appear in the literature of many cultures (Doc E). Bisclavaret represents the typical disguised identity because his normal form is a human but when the time comes he transforms into his second identity of a werewolf. During the Middle Ages, having the ability to transform could only occur in demon-
