MIKE'S FIRST PRIMARY SOURCE

For my first primary source, I decided to choose the scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in which Buffy is talking to the librarian and decides to once again take on her responsibility as the vampire slayer. Up until this point, Buffy was “retired” and was just trying to be a normal high school girl. However, when she is at the dance club, she sees her friend go off with a vampire, she decides to take action. She pushes aside her own selfish wants (being a normal girl and not fighting vampires) and decides to become the slayer again for the betterment of her community and to help keep her new friends safe. This was probably the most important scene in the episode because it shows the internal conflict in Buffy and the classic confrontation of good versus evil, right versus wrong, and selfishness versus selflessness.
