Quote. Woman in Cabin 10 (1-4)
“Are you completely sure? You’re not exactly the most reliable witness. And at the end of the day, what did you actually see?” I think this quote kind of highlights the struggle that you as the reader, and the characters in the book have. Nothing that the main character has said has been able toContinue reading “Quote. Woman in Cabin 10 (1-4)”
Important quote “Holy Cow”
“Humans will eat almost anything if you put a little salt and butter on it. and the butter is made from our milk. Makes me feel oddly complicit and guilty.” I picked this quote because I feel like its a major theme of the book. We eat cows, chicken, and other animals and I suspectContinue reading “Important quote “Holy Cow””
Click Clack The Rattle Bag
In this new short story, I think the quote “They look like what you aren’t expecting. Whatyou aren’t paying attention to” is most important. I think is the general theme for all monsters. That they dont look like what we expect because we expect to see something totally alien. So unlike us. But in theContinue reading “Click Clack The Rattle Bag”

In this next few chapters of Phantom of the Opera, Erik reminds me of the character “dracula.” Specifically the one in the castlevania universe.

Cohen Monster Theory
Cohen’s “Monster Theory” talks about how monsters were created by mankind for multiple reasons. Among them, being able to demonize what would be considered unacceptable and to point out flaws in people or the systems they have created. A quote from the reading I think perfectly sums up what I mean. “The monster signifies somethingContinue reading “Cohen Monster Theory”
