Dracula By Thomas Lahey

The novel Dracula is a timeless classic that involves many issues from all perspectives. One of these is issues is life at all costs. This is particularly evident in the main character, Dracula. Dracula was a vampire who lived deep inside Transylvania and would lure outsiders to his castle to kill them and have their blood to survive. Johnathan Harker was one of these men. I suppose it could be said that Dracula pursues the life at all costs theme because he is willing, I suppose because he's a vampire, to kill as many people as it takes just to have their blood to survive. That is the most prominent example of life at all costs in Dracula.

Someone today who has a similar view on life is Brett Favre. He is 40 years old and is losing his talent if I'm honest. However, despite constant threats to retire and move on from football, he keeps coming back. It may be determination, but at his age and his past injuries, I consider it to be life at all costs for Brett Favre.
