Post 1:
Count Dracula was portal as hundreds of years old that lives in Transylvania supposedly related to Attila the hun. He also has the power to change into a bat, use mind control to make any person do anything that he wants to making them stand still, to stop screaming. He the first one that comes to mind when someone mention vampires he also portals many weakness from not being able to be in the sun, a cross will burn him, garlic and holy water will burn him and when he looks in a mirror he doesn't have a reflection. The only way to kill him was a stake to the heart, set on fire or having his head cut off. But as more time goes by the strong he was getting making it harder and harder to kill and the more powers that he seems to get, he is also always in a company of female vampires to help keep away the loneliness that he has as he watches people come and go and time goes by.

Most of the information that you read from the book you can see where you believe that a vampire can't stand the sun as it is light and bring while a vampire use the shadow and darkness to hunt their victims. A stake in the heart as the heart may have stop beating but is still one of the most important part of the body beside the head which controls the movement of the body. I find garlic and holy water hard to believe that it can harm a vampire as well as not being able to see one reflection in a mirror. The author may have believed that the mirrors are a way to look into one soul and that vampires don't have a soul so there ford shouldn't have a reflection.

The first description of Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula was that of a clean-shaven, tall old man with a white moustache. He was extremely pale but wore all black and had very cold, albeit very strong hands. The Count seemed very hospitable, displaying a huge supper for his guest, even though he had already eaten, and offered wine with dinner and a cigar afterwards. His face, as described by Jonathan Harker, had striking features. He had an eagle like appearance, with a high-bridged nose and a large domed forehead. He had a receding hairline, but a full head of hair. He basically had a bushy unibrow and a cruel-looking mouth with sharp teeth that protruded over his exceptionally red lips. He had pointed ears, a broad, strong chin, and firm cheeks. Jonathan went on to describe Count Dracula's hands which were short and stubby with hair growing on his palms (which is one of the few places on the human body hair does not grow). He also noted the nails were long and very pointed and is breath was putrid (Stoker, 2015).

This does not describe Edward Cullen at all! So, we are not talking about a physically young or attractive man here. Most of us think of vampires as irresistibly handsome, and this is not the description of someone girls would go insane over. The description allows the reader to know this is an old creature, and not a very attractive being (inside and at this juncture, out). It does not tend to conjure thoughts of a powerful, immortal that has lived for hundreds of years but has the strength and vitality of youth and then some. It allows the reader to build distaste for the character before he becomes more youthful and powerful.
