Frankenstein
I can honestly say that I have enjoyed reading this book a lot this weekend. When I have been bored I have picked it up like it is a book for pleasure and it has been very interesting minus some of the complicated vocabulary. My past experience with Frankenstein consisted of watching the movie The Young Frankenstein by Monty Python which as you can imagine was very ridiculous so all in all I am looking forward to reading more.
Letter
So here is my letter that I wrote for that free write in class...
Dear friend,
One day I went to the north peak of the Caberfean Mountains. I was skiing like a pro, as usual.

Then all of a sudden a grizzly bear, a puma, and a fuzzy little bunny came out of no where and started to attack me.



The grizzly attacked first so I decided to give him the good old roundhouse kick to the face....yeah with a ski on. Just then the puma started to charge so I took one of my ski poles and stabbed it through his face. There I was just finished of a cougar and a grizzly and no scratches or anything. Then out of no where the bunny came flying and gave me a huge gash on the side of my face from my ear to my cheek bone. Then i grabbed the little rodent and broke his neck with a simple twist. So after that I just kept being awesome and kept doing awesome tricks....
Sincerely,

frankenstein
so i thought the whole 2 chapters of frankestein was pretty good, i like how he starts off talking about everyone else around him, and then slowly starts talking about himself and how he is obsessed with the metaphysical things, so ya, that was intense.
im not much of a socialite anymore.
so for some reason, im reading this book instead of doing this id rather be doing. instead of sleeping? reading. instead of watching tv? reading. instead of hanging out with shane? reading. lol. and as my family is watching passion of the christ... im reading! its terriblee! i cant get my hands off of this book! this book is my favorite book i have ever read. the only problem is i cant read alot at a time. the words are long and so it gets a little overwhelming so as of right now im barely done with chapter 7. which reminds me how far were we supposed to go? i have so many feelings about this book i cannot put into words. so i hope we will be having a great discussion come tomorrow morning because i want to know what everyone else is thinking when they read it as well. becuase personally, its not scary at all... and well everything (other than the death of elizabeth) is going great. i believe that that labratory that his professor showed him will later come into play. idk i just have a hunch.
Frankenstein
So far it seems pretty interesting, which I'm thankful for because I thought I'd hate it! Lol but my only fear is that I'm going to get wayyyy behind when it get's more difficult & stuff. In the letters we read it was so weird because it made me feel a sense of melanchony-not sure if that's how you spell it- which suprised me alot because I wouldn't expect that from this book? It seems like it's going to be very mysterious. I hope I can keep up with the reading!!!!!
Tired
So yesterday I was in ludington from 1-7 and by the time I got home i was exhausted...we went to see Rio :) oh and btw it wasn't all that great, cute but the funniest parts were the ones they showed in commercials. Any who I told myself "no worries I'll just read tomorrow" then when tomorrow got here I realized that my brain was fried. Let's hope it can find some sanity before the day is over.
Untitled
I think that Frankenstein is the best book we have read so far in either of the Brit Lit classes. For one, its the first story besides Gullievers Travels that I had heard of. Second Frankenstein is a classic horror story and is decently understandable. I'm also curious to see whats hidden in the story when we look at in more depth in class
