soooooo....

I liked the discussion in class today, it kindof shows all the different aspects/opinions on different religions. I definitely agree with what Hannah said in class on the fact that all the bad things like war that may include disputes over religion, are not originally caused by religion. It is mans interpretation and disagreements over religion which cause them to fight, thus disrupted both religions they were probably fighting over!

So about Frankenstein, I'm liking this book so far, and at this point in my reading I'm beginning to feel a sort of melanchony for the monster. His observations of the couple Felix & Agatha really bring out his realization of his lack of human relations and companionship. He is lonely and it really shows. It's also interesting to me how him, a creature who knows nothing of society sees the "creatures" he observes to be living in luxury with no reason to be discontent, when in reality they are suffering from poverty. To me it shows the lack of gratefulness we have for what we are blessed with.
