Vampires

We have talked about vampires a few weeks ago in class in the poem, "Vampire Sestina" by Neil Gaiman.
My image of vampires stayed almost the same before and after reading the poem, and here is my image toward this imaginary character.


Vampires suck people's blood for living and they usually suck all or most of the blood in the body that the victim usually dies. Even if the person is alive, they do not remember anything about the blood-sucking and just feels sick from loss of blood and also feels strange about the mark of the holes on the neck, which is the mark of the teeth of the vampires.

I have never seen the movie Twilight. However, I have read comic books and stories about vampires. They usually are very handsome and nice looking, man with dark hair, dressed in black suit with a cloak. The outlook of theirs are almost the same as that of the human's, unless they do not show their sharpened teeth.

They cannot be exposed to sunlight, therefore they can only move at nighttime. In the daytime, vampires stay inside of their coffin, or at their mansion which is built inside of a very deep and dark forest where the weather is always gloomy and thunders are to be heard. almost no one comes in but if there is a human visitor, they enjoy having their blood as dinner.


Other stories I have heard about is that they can turn into bats and they can turn human (usually a lady) into vampires if they wish to do so.
One way of doing it is to suck a person's blood not as much as she dies from anemia. Another is to suck from her and give her the vampire's own blood.

In the class, Dr. Cheetham told us another two ways which were biting the same lady for three times, and in the occasion when the lady wished to become a vampire and so did the vampire wish to let that woman become a vampire.

These are all I know about them.

Thank you!!
