Upcoming paper!
ahh im so nervous for this next paper! it seems really challenging. and it stresses me out how much points its worth but i am extreamly greatful that we have two full weeks to complete it, now i just need to make sure i dont procrastinate lol. from the example that we did with goldy locks it seemed reallly difficult to tackel this story from approaches other then psychoanological, so im deffinatly going to go with the one i feel most confident about.
Frankenstein
The frankenstein book was a lot different then what hollywood makes it out to be. I actually really liked it, at times it would be kinda boring but overall the story made me really think and like sad. because the monster and frankenstein both had miserable lives because of this creation, and it just makes me think about things i do in my life and how there consequences to everything. It also really refelcted on to the romantic era of how nature should be the almighty power and what we should look to to learn stuff but not to try to fight nature because the reprocutions will be far worse and thats exactly what happens in the book, like its saying life is better left simple.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein was actually not that bad, at first it started off boring and confusing at some parts. Then it started getting into the story and got kind of interesting. I like how they showed Frankenstein's side of the story then the monsters side. I thought it was interesting how at the end of the book the monster cried because his master died but through the book he was killing his family and friends and tried to kill him.
