Supernatural
I think out of the three elements that supernatural is the most effective because it just takes everything to a whole new level. In Frankenstein, the monster runs with supernatural speed and scales a mountain with incredible strength. It puts into perspective just how big this monster is and what it is capable of. It definitely adds another layer of mystery to the story and a sense of "What's going to happen?"

My Own Ghost Story?
Mary Shelley began her horror story with a series of letters from an explorer who found a strange man in the arctic which then leads into the story of who this stranger is. The whole novel is this story of the stranger so they letters introduce where the story is coming from. I personally could never write a ghost story. I do not have the creativity to invent something new story-wise that has not been done before. I am more of a problem solver than a creator. All of the stories I read I always think, "There is no way I would have ever thought of that." If I had to write one though, I would probably lead into it like Mary did or I would jump right into it to start with action. It totally would depend on what I was writing about though.

Superhero Sarah Saving Citizens!.... Maybe!
If I were a superhero I would not let anybody know about it. People would always want to use me for my powers or be my friend because of it. Also, people would try to kill me like they did to Iron Man. Tony Stark let everyone know that he was Iron Man and people were gunning after him. When someone has power, all of a sudden, everybody else desires it and will do anything to rid that person of the power, take their power, or get more than them. And some people will do literally anything to get it, including killing someone (as in Iron Man). Or even in Spider-Man, he kept his identity a secret and people were still actively trying to murder him fairly often. I would anonymously do my best to save people but also stay out of the lime light as best as I could.
