Fear is not only a feeling but a parasite that lingers in your mind. The neighbors in “Monsters are due on Maple Street” were put to the test by hidden military agents. These agents observed everyone’s response to what felt like a bomb exploding nearby, which led to electrical complications. Everyone began brainstorming reasons to what happened; while others resorted to making aggressive accusations. Through its effective rendering of mise-en-scene, camera movement, and lighting; "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" conveys you shouldn't let fear consume you to the point that you're unable to make rational conclusions.

“Fear and euphoria are dominant forces, and fear is many multiples the size of euphoria” - Alan Greenspan. New York author, Alan Greenspan, here is explaining that the threat fear presents is really no different than the state of intensity caused by euphoria. In Andrew J. Hoffman’s anthology, Monsters, there is substantial evidence that both fear and euphoria are inflicted upon men, by female monsters. The two threats men typically face against women are temptation and emasculation. Thus, in mythology and folklore, female monsters exemplify the impulse of desire (sexually) for men, and male weakness. These are creature that are lusted after and yet, still feared because of their power. Men find female monsters both fearsome and euphoric and will always threaten their dominance and control.

Secondly, whatever the difference monsters have from a human, whether it be animal characteristics, made-up attributes, or a combination of human limbs and other traits, any discrepancy points out their difference from humanity. The monsters with human attributes backhandedly comment on human behaviors, such as Manticore, Medusa and Minotaur. Blake and Cooper note that Medusa is in a group of “over-sexual women… were combined with snakes in order to emphasize the supposed sinful nature of women and temptations of their bodies” (Blake and Cooper 4). In recent monster stories, humanoid monsters have become increasingly normal. Thirdly, despite their distortions, monsters reflect who we are as humankind. Their many differences in meaning and image reflect humanity’s diversity. “Gothic” fiction is a literary tradition that started a recent wave of monsters that consisted of novels from Dracula to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. People began to write tales that tamed the supernatural

There is such kind of monsters, remain their appearance as a human, yet the things they do can only describe as monstrosities. They are not monsters in books and literature, a fear of unknown or sexual desires. People were, or still are facing actual brutal violence or psychological terror from those monsters. More importantly, the monster being talked here is one of our kind. They are human, yet described as “inhuman”, under the inhuman category of Stephen T. Asma’s book On Monsters, a bloody history, a dark past of humanity have been introduced as a monster. It is Khmer Rouge’s infamous security prison S21: the representation of the massacre took place in Cambodia in 20th century and this kind of monster, unfortunately, is still relevant to the world, even till this day.

Alongside the issues of alcohol addiction came the problems of child abandonment and the separation of Native American families. Both of these situations came to further problematize the contemporary native condition as the protagonists in both films had to deal with the effects of broken households. In Smoke Signals, this dilemma was a fundamental force that drove the film’s story and was the main reason why Victor and Thomas had to go pick up the ashes of Victor’s dad after he died. In Rhymes for Young Ghouls, the initial arrest of Aila’s dad and the suicidal death of her mother came after the accidental death of her younger brother as a result of both of her parent’s drunken state. Both characters had to deal with the loss of their innocence early in their childhood as a result of their dreadful experiences and the loss of one or both of their parents. This comes to portray the current condition of Native People as being very bleak even from the start of their early life and as the characters continue to face the dilemmas found throughout their respective stories, the story will try to provide a more optimistic outlook toward future native

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you,” profoundly stated by Friedrich Nietzsche (goodreads.com). Friedrich Nietzsche’s lecture is portrayed to be true in The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone is a television series from the 1960s which are all short dark stories that in the end, shed light on the flaws of humanity. The short story, “Monsters are Due on Maple Street” by Rod Serling, is a science fiction story that shows prejudice and thoughts as weapons of humanity. Prejudice and thoughts are meant to destroy humans. Many signs of prejudice, are shown to destroy the tiny little subdivision, of Maple Street.

When we were kids we were told of many imaginary monsters, but as you grow up we learn what the real monsters are. A monster is defined as a badly behaved or cruel person, something that is absurdly large, or a fictional and frightening creature. The monsters that we know of today are nothing like the ones when we were little kids. When you realize things like the monster under your bed isn’t real is when you come to know that society is the real monster. Jennifer Lynn Barnes gives us insight on who the monsters really are when she tells us that, "They told him he was killing monsters, and then they made him kill people. He thought it was just me who was different, and he didn't go through with killing me. He

Behind cold steel bars in a lonely cage, however able to relate to other prisoners who have faith for the future. The Monster masterpiece by Walter Dean Myers puts Steve Harmon—a sixteen year old black kid in jail—on the hot seat for the crime of robbery and felony murder of an innocent man named Mr. Nesbitt.

Societal values have always been a source of conflict because the views or opinions of one society or culture often contradict the views of another. The proposal of societal change often brings tension between those that oppose the transformation and those that approve of it. Individualism and uniformity are two forces that are constantly dueling for dominance across the globe, and the severity of this competition differs depending on the variation of the melting pot of cultures within a society. Robert B. Ray and Jeffery Cohen, experts on societal values, both inquire and delve within typical aspects and traits of habit that surround western culture regarding these

“Look then, if you dare, at South Central through the eyes of one of its most notorious Ghetto Stars and the architect of its most ghastly gang army- the Crips” (Scott 1993:xv). Sanyika Shakura, birth name Kody Scott, explains to his readers the violence, attitudes, and brutality he experienced first hand in the 1980s when he joined a gang called The Crips at age eleven. According to Kontos and Brotherton (2008), writers of The Encyclopedia of Gangs, define the name Crip as “the combination of the word crib and the acronym R.I.P. that denotes the intergenerational nature of the gang and membership from birth to death (Sloan, 2005)” (p. 43-44). Shakura, referred to as Scott throughout this piece, walks us

The study I chose was the Monster Study, it was a study that took place at the University of Iowa in 1939 by two female researchers named Wendell Johnson and Mary Tudor. They conducted an experiment on stuttering. This experiment was done on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa. The children were separated into two groups, the first group received positive speech therapy where the children were praised for how good their speech was. In the second group the children were taught bad speech therapy and the children were belittled for every time they did not speak the right way. At the end of the experiment the normal-speaking children from group two that was belittled developed negative psychological effects, and

Could you Imagine being so afraid of something or someone that you started to blame the people around you? The people of Maple Street were guilty of doing so. I watched the 1960 version of the Monsters are due on Maple Street. I also watched the 2003 version of the Monsters are due on Maple Street. The 1960 version is about all the people on Maple Street believing that aliens are taking over their neighborhood. The 2003 version of the Monsters are due on Maple Street is about all the people on Maple St. believing that terrorists are taking over their neighborhood. Fear of the unknown can cause people to turn on each other.
