This is a research paper which explores a subject in order to extend our thinking. Unlike regular research papers, a Multigenre research paper is a research paper in which each piece in the paper utilizes a different genre. I consider a Multigenre research paper to be one of the most remarkable and unique papers to do when conducting research. This is why I have chosen a Multigenre research paper. In doing this research paper, I have experienced and explore many different genres and ideas for expressing my research. The topic I have chosen for my research paper is “Characters in Relationship to Dracula.” I chose this topic because it allows me to dig to the depths of the book, Dracula by Bram Stoker, and explore each main character’s relationship with Count Dracula. In this Multigenre research paper, I have taken each of the main characters and showed how they are in relationship to Dracula by using a unique genre. For example, I explained the relationship between Renfield, a lunatic in the book, with Count Dracula by using an IM conversation. This genre really makes the conversation unique and puts a contemporary twist on an old piece of literature. I also created a dialogue between the “Brides” of Dracula and Count Dracula. As you read this genre, you may be reminded of a similar relationship you have with a family member or friend. By using a multigenre format, I am able to expand on my thinking and creativity. This adds another twist to an already excellent research paper. As you are reading over this letter, I am sure you are pondering whether you will take the time and actually read the research paper itself. Here’s a first-class decision which you can make: read the paper! If you have not ever read a Multigenre research paper, then here is your chance to try something new. As you embark on your journey through this research paper, you and your emotions will become consumed and you will find yourself not being able to put it down. Heed this advice, do not miss out on this opportunity to learn and explore new things. Make the first-class decision.

I found the taste a little too sweet for my liking, but it was unique. The mixture of flavors and aromas was a blast for the senses! The only downside I experienced was this feeling of death as I chewed the food. The feeling was microscopic to me, yet noticeable and unfamiliar. This feeling eventually subsided though as I was finishing the meal, which was spectacular. I would recommend to all to try this recipe, even if you have to go the extra mile to get the ingredients!

[ YES ] 1 user found this review helpful Jonatha n Harker Quincey Morris Mrs. Westenr a Renfield Count Dracula Lucy Westenr a Mina Harker Count Dracula Lord Godalmi ng John Seward Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2005 The Count Dracula is a disgrace to the culinary arts! I, for one, tried this so called “sensational” recipe and found it to be utterly appalling! As I ate the food, I could not but help to get the feeling of DEATH! The aroma and flavor of the food said DEATH! Maybe my senses are a little off from many years of the culinary arts……Who knows???? All I know is I tasted blood, which must have brought on the dreadful mood of DEATH. Note to all who are considering this dish: DO NOT! Was this review helpful? [ YES ] 1 user found this review helpful Review Analysis of Recipes: Upon reading the recipes, Count Dracula and Mina Harker, and scanning the reviews, I have come to the conclusion these recipes are fairly opposite. In my opinion, this oppositeness of the two recipes leads me to the assumption they are distinctively related, due to the saying “opposites attract.” Maybe my thoughts are rubbish, but there is a connection present between Count Dracula and Mina Harker, an unbreakable connection of some sorts. It may have to due with the Count’s blood, which is present in both recipes. This bond between the recipes must contain some old evil curse, one that can not be broken. Total WC: 3,919 Campbell- 2 Dear Ms. Lucy Westenra, By your presence, I have experienced a feeling my soul has not felt in centuries, love. A feeling my heart has ached for and, in the past, has not received. Now my heart has drank an insignificant dose of this addicting sensation, and begs for more. My feelings for you are of the utmost desire, and if you refuse, I will force your love upon me. Lucy, you are in comparison with blood to me. I need you to survive and will use all my power to obtain you. The beauty which radiates from your body calls to me. It makes my desire for you even more commanding. If you do not comply with my desire, then I shall have no option but to put the curse of the Un-dead upon you. This will ensure your obeisance to me, so I can have you to myself. I would also like to give you a fair warning, if you are to choose another man to give your love to rather than me, then this man will suffer. I rest this decision upon your shoulders, choose wisely. Sincerely, Quincey Morris Abraham Van Helsing Count Dracula Jonathan Harker Mrs. Westenra Renfield Count Dracula Lucy Westenra Mina Harker Lord Godalming John Seward Total WC: 3,919 Campbell- 2 Dear Count Dracula, Your desire for my Lucy has surpassed defined boundaries. For your actions towards my Lucy, you shall pay harsh consequences. I write this letter as a warning to you, and your kind. I am aware of your situation, and will go to great lengths to destroy you so centuries to come shall have peace from your presence. You’re not as immortal as you shall have thought. Let me inform you, your desires towards my poor Lucy are not as immense as my resentment and rage towards you are.
