chapter 11-13

Frankenstein is like a new born child. He has to learn everything from scratch, like how to find food, keep himself warm, and what people are like. He discovers a family in the room next to his and watches them live their life. He soon becomes very attached to the family, and after realizing that his food stealing has hurt them he stops and starts bringing them wood. He then learns how to speak by following their words and actions. This creature is constantly reminding me of the elephant man, how no one would look at him but if you had gotten to know him he was very sweet and caring of others.

chapter 10

In this chapter I found the end very interesting. I did not know the creature was able to speak or was that powerful. I can't wait to read more about his life.

Chapter 9

Seeing that Victor feels guilty but is now moving on from thinking of suicide make me feel like he is really starting to recover and becoming more like the person he used to be.

Chapter 7-8

I think seeing that Victor thinks his monster, Frankenstein killed his brother, William will come into play later in the story. When Justine confesses I couldn't tell if she had actually done it and was covering it up or she just wanted it to end. But over all we can now see that Victor's creation is anything but good.

Chapters 4-5

Victor becomes a lonely and secluded person, only wanting to work on his studies. This forces him to lose contact with his family and friends. Seeing him do this shows us how he has changed. Obviously the death of his mother affected him so much that now he only wants to be alone. Within the next chapter, Victor finishes his creation and one night it comes to life. From previous chapters we know that Victor thinks he can bring the dead back to life with electricity, which he thought of when he saw the tree get struck. He is so frantic about the monster that he rushes out of his house and runs into his old friend. When both of them go back to the apartment the monster is not there and Victor becomes ill and gets nursed back to health from his friend, Henry.

Chapters 1-3

I find it sort of weird that Victor Frankenstein thinks of himself as the protector of Elizabeth and how he wants to love her when she is now a part of their family. I don't like how in the next chapter Frankenstein constantly talks about tragedy, especially talking about the storm. It is clear that throughout the story the tragedies will become more intense and keep occurring. In chapter 3, we see another tragedy, the death of his mother, just before he goes off the college. At college we see his dreams being crushed when the professor tells him he has wasted his time on studies, but Frankenstein still seems to want to continue in the field of science. So far most of his life has been miserable, with the exception of his childhood.

Letters 1-4

The first few letters basically just said how excited Robert Walton was to go on his journey. After reading the fourth letter I feel like Walton and the man he takes aboard will have a very good relationship. It seems like they have a strange connection.
