Homework for Thursday 9/15

1) Read the articles posted on the sidebar: "The Thinking Reader's Guide to Fear"

2) In light of our discussion on Tuesday and the readings, write a reflective paper (one page) using the following questions as possible discussion points:
- Are horror movies, stories, and novels a genre worthy of study in an academic class? why or why not?
- Can horror literature be considered on the same artistic plane as, say, a Shakespeare play?
- When is horror art, rather than just terrifying entertainment?
