For my second fishbowl discussion, the topic I chose was: Why does Dracula only drink the blood of English women? Why doesn’t he drink, say, Jonathan Harker’s blood when he has the chance? Why is Lucy Dracula’s first target? What makes her vulnerable? What does this say about attitudes towards women at the time?

For our game, each person has a canadian biome, and you try to build […]
