Comparing The Monster In Born Of Man And Woman By Richard Matheson

The novel Monster by Walter Dean Myers is the book I chose to read and do my essay on. The genre Walter chose for the book Monster is realistic fiction. The novel was published in 1999 which is a year after I was borning. The reason why I chose this Novel is because a teacher recommended the book to me a couple year ago but, I never got a chance to read it. I always assumed the book was good because it won three awards. The first award the book won was the National Book Award for young people’s literature. The second award the book won was the Michael L. Printz Awards. The third award the book won was called the Coretta Scott King Award Honor all in which the book won in the same year 2000. The book is told from the perspective of a young african american teenager named steve harmon. Steve lives in harlem where the story takes place. One night steve chose to hang with a bad group of friends and was in a robbery. During the robbery one of Steve’s friend kills the cashier. Now Steve is in jail and going back and forth to court hoping to be proven not guilty of felony murder. Steve and I lives are alike in many different ways although we come from different backgrounds.

Why is gang affiliation such an alluring, appealing lifestyle? Admittedly, the appeal is conceivable. Watching Boyz in the Hood or listening to hip-hip may cause some to think, “I can live that life,” but thought does not turn into action while others never formulate such a thought. This raises the question, why does Monster Kody Scott, consider devout gang membership as a sole objective despite constant contingencies of incarceration and demise? To answer this question, this paper will take the social disorganization position in its review of Monster: An Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member. In addition, this paper will use examples to show that social disorganization explains the behavior portrayed the book.

​The creature is miserable because the creator just made him and right after he got afraid and then he wanted to kill the creature because Victor thinks that he killed his brother William.According to the text it said, "The tortures of hell are to mild for thy crimes you've done. So what he is trying to say is that he hall go to hell for the people he killed including William. In my opinion I think that the creature didn't kill William because he said in the text that his soul is full of love and community.An other reason is because he lives in the mountains and in

Secondly, he is a rebel boy. At the end, he tells us that he is expelled from the school. This fact shows that his behaviour was not very good and he could have fought someone. However, we can see he is a very intelligent boy in some passages of the book.

In the novel The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, Martians and their tripods are the presentation of “monster”. Humans in the story show different feelings towards the monster in different stages, from curiosity to emotional detachment and denial. The paper aims at discussing those different reactions towards the monsters by dividing them into three stages. The first one is about the human’s curiosity and fascination towards Martians, while the extreme fear towards them will be discussed in the stage two. The final stage will discuss the emotional detachment and denial to the existence of the Martian.

In the American judicial system, there are many cases that wrongfully accuse and select a person for their looks and connections. In the book “ Monster “ Steve Harmon a teenage boy was tried for murder because someone else said he was involved. They asked him a couple questions and threw him in jail to be tried for a robbery in a drugstore where the man behind the counter Mr. Nesbitt was shot and killed. Steve Harmon was accused of being a lookout for this robbery. When the robbery took place Steve was there at the drugstore but not as the lookout. Steve s not responsible for Mr. Nesbitt’s death because of other people's action. Also Steve did not pull the trigger on Nesbitt.

Being an individual at a very young age, you usually look up to a parental figure who has lived longer than you and who has had gained a great amount of knowledge. With being so young, individuals usually grow up with intentions and mindset influenced by the people closest to them and the environment they live in. The main character of “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein, faces a tough beginning. During his childhood his father wasn't the best male figure and his mother passed away. Since then with his academic gift and the studying of the chemical decay of human beings… he creates “The Creature” as a way of proving that one can control the fate of life and death.

Though Victor Frankenstein thinks fundamentally in terms of ‘who belongs to whom’, he and the Creature share a strange bond that goes beyond the bounds of mere possession. Frankenstein clearly ignores his mutual obligations and promises, especially towards the Creature, creating a relationship between the two that is composed entirely of power-struggles rather than any form of mutuality. In addition to this, as one who thinks about social organization in terms of sheer power, Frankenstein extends this master-slave relationship to nature itself – in short, he treats nature the same as he treats his unnatural Creation.

Mary Shelley the daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, she was born in 1797. Mary known that her spent the rest of her life writing to support her family; she also wrote essays, short stories, and travelogues. The most famous of her novels is Frankenstein. Frankenstein was really popular in culture, is also very popular in the romantic era call Gothic novel very popular at that time. The idea for her novel is from her nightmare. In the Frankenstein novel, the main character in her novel is Victor Frankenstein; people think the creature is the monster, but he is not; he is the scientist/creator. The monster is never given a name.

Frankenstein and the Creature's relationship directly parallels their subconscious understanding of God. Whereas the Creature sees each of them fulfill distinct roles of Creator and creation, Victor feels the duality of being both created and Creator. Paradise Lost indoctrinated the Creature with its own testimony of the creation story and filled his subconscious with ideas of conflict and betrayal. Victor's exposure is consequence of the Christian-dominant culture of Europe in his time. From a psychoanalytical perspective, Victor struggles to identify himself as the god his id suggests or as the man that his super-ego insists he is. Even so, the war the Creature is waging dwarfs this identity crisis. The Creature feels that he must physically fight the spiritual battle that exists between God and his creations, whether that is mankind or Satan himself. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein the actions of both Victor and the Creature are wrought by their understanding of the Judeo-Christian creation.

While the notion seems counterintuitive, humanity plays a significant role in the creation of evil. This link between humanity and the monsters that plague it was heavily considered during the Romantic and Victorian Eras. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor's initial rejection of his creation, his continual disgust for the monster, and his unwillingness to please the creature all serve to drive the creatures malicious intent.

Mary W. Shelley’s brilliant gothic story, Frankenstein, is one that emits the prevalent theme of light versus dark, in which possesses obvious characteristics of a novel written during the romantic era. The novel tells the account of the overambitious Victor Frankenstein, who created a monster in hopes that he’d be known for crafting something human from the body parts of corpses with physical and mental advantages in society, basically playing the part of God on Earth, but through the auspices of science. Instead of creating a “normal” human, his creation ended up being a disfigured creature who he then neglects. Upon his abandonment, the monster seeks revenge on Victor after being cast away by society due to harsh physiognomy in which they entail because of his grotesque and terrifying features. With no prior knowledge to the novel, many would simply overlook the comparison of the two main characters, Victor and his creation, and simply state the contrast between the two; Victor is the creator and the monster is simply a creation, the monster is merely a human while Victor happens to encase all of the components he’d hoped for in the monster, etc. While these comparisons and contrasts correlate to the book, a further glance into the novel shows the even deeper comparison they share as the book advances, and also displays the staggering contrast between the two antagonists.

Were there any events in his childhood that he needed to overcome? What did he learn about themselves through this event?

Frankenstein's true character and the way he is perceived are so different. Frankenstein is seen as an abomination and a horrifying monster and only as a horrifying monster. Monsters are viewed as evil scary creatures. On the other hand, Frankenstein feels more human than a monster. He wants to be included and accepted into the society he lives in, but people don't accept him because they are afraid. In the excerpt, Frankenstein said “ ...I trust that, by your aid, I shall not be driven from the society and sympathy of your fellow creatures.” The creatures he is talks about are the humans he is saying with help from his creator or father, he has hope that he can be accepted one day into that society. A monster would not try to get the peoples
