We Monsters<br />
Throughout history, there have been numerous portrayals of<br />
monsters. Images of Nosferatu and Frankenstein are likely one of the<br />
first images that come to mind. They challenge the very idea of what we<br />
consider esthetically normal and are deemed as abominations to<br />
mankind. Their very existence strikes fear into the hearts of men,<br />
women, and children.<br />
Today, Monsters are not only drawn from science fiction. Nay, they<br />
lurk around every corner. In some cases it could be staring right back at<br />
you in the mirror. Adolescence is quite a frightening thing to behold. For<br />
this youth is no longer child nor is it adult. The young adult cannot be<br />
trusted due to their inability to reconcile their behavior with their<br />
fluctuating hormones oozing with emotional instability.<br />
Our young adult literature course encouraged us to dig deep into a<br />
series of novels on young adults who were deemed “monstrous” by<br />
society’s standards. Drawing from the inspiration from our selected<br />
novel, we present you with stories of our own monstrosity enthused by<br />
scenes in “American Born Chinese”.
