A killing machine‚ a bloody creature‚ or a psychopath are what we initially picture when we think of “Monster”. Fear is the first emotion that comes to us. We think of them as the furthest thing from human possible‚ something that doesn’t relate to us. Yet‚ we created them from our wildest thoughts. To us a “Monster” is a valve that lets out the dark within us‚ a mask that allows to hide behind while we show our true intentions‚ and a menace portrayed from what we fear in real life. A “Monster”

In Rebecca West’s The Return of the Soldier‚ nature is represented in many different forms. Nature and its surroundings seem to reflect the personas and moods of the characters within the novel. In Monkey Island‚ there is an abundance of trees‚ birds‚ and life. At Wealdstone‚ nature is more “of open country” (West 44). But at Baldry Court/Harrowweald‚ nature seems to be more controlled in order to give off the appearance of perfection and keep outsiders out. The Baldry’s live lavishly and their wealth

limited to the scientific community; a similar series of events unfold for writers who write fiction novels. Writers have a tendency to be critical of each other’s work‚ i.e. J.K. Rowling supposedly wrote a letter to Stephanie Meyer regarding her book Twilight. Again we see that she wrote something to a peer‚ and that peer likely wrote back to her‚ despite their relative distance. Writing begets more writing. All writing strives to express an idea.
