Kitty Kallen's Argument Essay

Talia Schaffer, in her article, “‘A Wilde Desire Took Me’: The Homoerotic History of Dracula”, claims that Bram Stoker was sexually attracted to author Oscar Wilde. Stoker’s gothic novel, Dracula, is the offspring of Stoker’s desire and Stoker’s fear of societal rejection. In Dracula, claims Schaffer, “Stoker manages to speak both from the closet and from the open; he simultaneously explores Wilde-as-monster, and identifies with the real Wilde’s pain” (Schaffer 472).

Karen Tandy arguments have evidence, explanations, and expression of causes to back up why she believe that marijuana should stay illegal and not be decriminalize as much as it has already been in numerous other countries. While Joe Messerli also has explanations towards legalizing marijuana, he didn’t have facts that back up his reasoning nor did he have evidence.
