Waldon Embarks on Adventure
St. Petersburg - Robert Waldon began his voyage in search of a new route to the North Pacific Ocean by way of the North Pole. This trek is expected to take many years. The vessel and its crew were acquired in the town of Archangel. They left on the 7th day of July and within a month they found themselves in the middle of an ice flow surrounded by fog. During this time they rescued a sledge and with one remaining dog off of a large chunk of ice. It was later revealed to be Victor Frankenstein of Geneva who had been following another sledge and fallen behind. On September 12th he wrote to his sister, Mrs. Margaret Saville, of England saying, “I am returning to England.

A miniature of his mother was reported missing
Letters to the Editor
To Whom it May Concern, I have had the privilege of being a part of the Frankenstein family since I was very young and would like to share my thoughts on Miss Justine Moritz who is on trial for our brother William. I have been acquainted with Justine Moritz for a total of seven years. She took care of my aunt until she passed away from the scarlet fever. Shortly after she returned to her family home where she nursed her ailing mother. Justine has always been an affectionate and caring woman. Although I have heard the evidence against her, I believe that Justine Moritz is innocent. If she had wanted the miniature of my aunt I would have given it to her because of her devotion to our family.
Sincerely,
Miss Elizabeth Lavenza, Geneva
To the Editor, I know that I have the appearance of a monster, but it was the way that I was created. I didn’t know anything when I woke up one day in an apartment in Ingolstadt. I was illiterate and had no idea what people were, what big cities were, or what the strange noises were. I am sorry for the way I scared people when they saw me, but I was only taking care of my needs of shelter, heat and food. I wanted someone to be with. I learned how to speak and read while staying in a hovel outside the hut of the DeLaney family. My way of thanking them by carrying wood to their door

Execution, torture, and forced labor were left behind for prisons, police and prosecutor systems, and laws. Criminal suspects were granted rights that protected them from unfair accusations, trials, and executions. There were many quirks to straighten out in the systems, as there still are today, but by the late 1800s legal systems of most countries had strong foundations and organization. During the time period of the book Frankenstein, these movements were just beginning, and fictitious characters in the book experienced the unfair treatment that many other accused criminal suspects did in the early 1800s. At the time, women had fewer freedoms than men did, and this was even defined in the Napoleonic Code. This could explain why Justine Moritz was executed without sufficient evidence during her trial in the book. Victor, who was accused of the same crime, was put into jail with a nurse, physician, and man who eventually aided Victor in his release from the jail. There was a major difference in their treatment and outcome of their trials, thought they committed the same crime of strangling someone (Shelly). Legal systems were not parallel in the 1800s, and women could expect to be treated differently. Until the late 19th century, criminals were not protected by laws and granted rights as they are
The family housekeeper, Justine, is the main suspect when William is killed by strangulation. She is framed because William’s locket was found in her pocket. At Justine’s trial, she is utterly powerless. William’s family believes in her innocence, but the jury ultimately does not. Throughout her defense, she speaks between tears, “‘God knows…How entirely I am innocent’” (Shelley 65). Justine is powerless against the court of law. Although the evidence was planted on her, she has no way of proving her innocence.
I feel sorry for calling you a “monster” like Victor Frankenstein did. I don’t use this word to belittle or demonize you; the fact of the matter is that your creator did not give you a name or an identity. You were forced to find out who you were on your own without any guidance like an orphaned child, which is a hardship nobody should ever have to endure. Everyone you met ran away in fear, believing you were the monster that Frankenstein intended for you to be.
Christopher Columbus’s first voyage was to find a shorter route to Asia because during doe’s years the trade between Europe and Asia was very well paid. However, Instead of finding Asia, he found the “New World.”

In the book of Frankenstein, women seem to be passive, pure and expendable. Initially, The character of Justine comes to be passive in the sense that she does not often speak, till she is lied on for the assassination of William Frankenstein. However, Justine openly resists ever to have anything to do with William’s death as she remains placid and calm. She speaks up for herself by saying, “God knows how entirely I am innocent. But, I do not pretend that my protestations should acquit me; I rest my innocence on a plain and straightforward explanation of the facts…” (65). Her tone of speech and the process of actions clearly shows her passivity, but the quickly accused explicitly states her motive of character beyond: “But I have no power of explaining it…I am only left to
Justine Moritz is the first minor character that has a significant role assists in developing the plot. Justine Moritz was the lovely servant who has been with the Frankenstein family since she was a little girl. She was the caretaker of William Frankenstein and has great love towards the Frankenstein family. Justine is a key component that helps with the character development of Victor
Justine Moritz is one of the minor characters in the story “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley. She is a young lady that was brought to the Frankensteins household by Caroline, where she was kindly educated and is treated like a human being for which she works as a servant. Moritz was twelve years of age when she began to live with the Frankenstein’s. She came from a family where her mother was a widow with four children, until they all died from an illness except for Justine. Moritz mother “could not endure her” (Shelley 68) because she believed her husband sexualized their daughter, Justine, and blamed her for the death of her other children.
The biggest hole in the Victor Frankenstein's narrator was the mysterious acts of inaction. When Justine Moritz, a young grl adopted into the Frankenstein family while Victor was growing up, being accused for William's murder, Victor Frankenstein actually believed her innocent. ""She is innocent, my Elizabeth," said I, "and that shall be proved; fear nothing, but let your spirits be cheered by the assurance of her acquittal.""(Shelly, Frankenstein) But when the trail was held, he decided to say nothing to defense Justine. "In the morning I went to the court; my lips and throat were parched. I dared not ask the fatal question; but I was known, and the officer guessed the cause of my visit. The ballots had been thrown; they were all black, and Justine was
On the morning of July 20 the sensation was increased by the loss of the vessel and its strange treasure. In the storm of the preceding night it had broken from its moorings and vanished forever from the sight of man, carrying with it the guard who had slept aboard despite the threatening weather. Capt. Orne, backed by extensive scientific interests and aided by large numbers of fishing boats from Gloucester, made a thorough and exhaustive searching cruise, but with no result other than the prompting of interest and conversation. By August 7 hope
Amundsen and his men learned many things with their expedition to the South Pole. Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer; he was going to the North Pole, however, Robert Peary beat him there. Amundsen decided to change his plans and go to the South Pole. Amundsen discovered the North-West Passage. Amundsen wrote in his diary saying,"'As for the tent, with regard to shape and size it is comfortable but it is too susceptible to the wind'"(Alexander).
The case study examined Ernest Shackleton and his Antarctic exploration with his ship the Endurance. This expedition took place in 1915 and was set to cross the continent from sea to sea. Shackleton was aiming to sail the boat through the Weddell Sea and then take his men to the Ross Sea on the opposite side of the continent, therefore making it a 1500 mile journey for the
I learned how to communicate at the age of 3 with my siblings. They taught me, how to read and write basic words. Learning how to read and write from my siblings help me get a mentality where I wanted to learn more. My siblings played a huge role in my development of reading and writing. Growing up in a family where my parents only spoke Spanish was quite difficult because I had to switch languages when I would want to communicate with them. Switching languages threw off my vocabulary and it also causes problems with my reading and writing at first.
