Frankenstein
Passion and power corupt and then you can be lost in your imagination. Once that happens all could be lost. That is what has happened to Victor Frankenstein. He was sucked into his work of science and then became lost with creating a creature. As soon as the monster was created and came to him, he hated it and ran. He turn on it so it turned on him. He has written his destiny.
Natures Power
no matter how great you are, mother nature can and will always triumph over you. Yuo can build the most memorable statue or structure ever imaginable, but over time it will be lost and forgotten. As in the poem he calls himself the king of kings, but his great statue of himself was lost with time. he was not remembered for being the greatest of his time but the most arrogant. as the titanic could sink, and great chapels and castles fell through time and battle. nature will destroy all in its due time weather it is through mans drive for power or times withering abilities. only the intentions and desires are remembered over times true power.

We made it another year. hahaha
In the pictures that we saw today Mother Nature has taken it toll. This showed that you can't mess with Mother Nature. She will erase you in her sands of time and destroy you with forces unseen. Mother Nature is brutle and it shows in the pictures. It also shows how "man" wants to best Mother Nature. How they want to say they can over come it and beat it. "Man" gets to full of himself and then is shut down. Mother Nature is not a force to be reckoned with. Nature will over come all of the buildings that "man" has created in time. We are here for a short time but Nature is here forever.
