For your final essay, please make sure to properly cite Monster Theory, by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen. Here is the information: In the parenthetical citation, simply use his last name (Cohen). You do not need to include the page numbers, since you don't have those. For the Works Cited page, here is the info to plug in: Cohen, Jeffrey Jerome. Monster Theory. Minneapolis, Minnesota: University of Minnesota Press, 1996. Lastly, please note that the works cited page citation above is not formatted with the proper indentation (I can't do that in blogger), so make sure you indent the second line.

Here is how you should format the dialogue for your stories.

Final Project Workshop For this workshop/peer review please follow the same guidelines as prior workshops: focus on one person at a time. Read through the proposal and then begin answering the following questions in order to best help/support them. Please answer the questions in complete sentences, with specific suggestions for improvement. Please note that there are two different sets of questions, depending on whether the person is rewriting a fairy tale, or creating a monster. Use the appropriate set of questions and answers for your partner. Fairy Tale Questions 1) Is the cultural problem, social issue, or real life situation that the fairy tale was inspired by a tangible, specific issue that can be traced to an event or series of events in our world today? Is there any way this problem or issue can be more specific/narrow? For example, if the social issue is "social media," that is not specific enough. Instead it could be something like "online trolling or bu...

1) This novel is considered to be a precursor to many zombie films. What is zombie like about the monsters?    What aspects of human nature might zombies represent more generally?   2) What other monsters have we encountered that remind you of these vampire/zombies? 3) How might our understanding of the monsters shift if the POV of the novel was not Neville's? 4) What kind of person is Robert Neville? How does his personality and identity possibly affect our view of the monsters in the novel?   5) What is the relationship between beliefs/perception and monsters?  Please re-read page 17 and then respond.   “ Fear is probably the key word in Matheson’s work, and the defining affective feature of horror fiction. It is a striking fact of human anxiety that the things we fear are non-randomly distributed: humans acquire fear not just of any old thing, but of things dangerous in our evolutionary past.
