Rod Farrell did not have a normal childhood growing up. As a child he was molested by his biological Grandfather and his mother thought she was a vampire, often bringing him to her cult rituals and sacrifices therefore slowly influencing the games he took part in, like Dungeons and Dragons instead of the normal childhood games of hid and seek, tag ECT. I think there is a connection to both stuff we have learned about vampires and the book Dracula we are reading in class. We have learned that vampires can and some times drink blood, they also kill there victims but they than come back to life as a vampire, last they have a look about them they often have pale skin and darkened skin around the eyes that can look red, sharp looking teeth and red eyes. Now in Dracula we have learned that count was pale and had sharp teeth and bright red lips to me that sounds like a vampire, well based off of what we have learned about vampires so far. A quote comes to mind, in the book Dracula they talk about how the count looks, it is found on page 18 closer to the end of the last paragraph this is said….i could see it under the heavy moustache was a fixed and rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharp white teeth ; these protruded over the lips.

Do you think that sounds sort of like what we have learned about vampires??

If you saw someone anyone that looked pale and had sharp teeth would you think they were a vampire???
