Some general writing pointers:

-punctuation and spelling. I immediatley missed your horrible slaughtering of "thereof," with your version-"theiroff." Who's off?

-have a decent thesis. "Buffy draw heavily from the horror genre," is not a decent thesis. Everyone knows that Buffy draws heavily from the horror genre. This is like having a thesis saying "the sky is blue." So, a better thesis would be that "Buffy draws heavily from the horror genre, which has this and that effect and this and that purpose." In essence, what does drawing from horror DO? I can tie my shoelaces...but what having the ability to tie my shoelaces does is give me the effect of a being a person who is has more than sub-level intelligence and who has developed fine motor skills, which implies that I am also able to...get the picture.

Anyway, I love Buffy and analysing it. I wish you well with your paper and future written endeavors.
