There were murmurs and whispers within the crowd. They were utterly flabbergasted and astonished at what they were gawking at. Never before have they ever seen such a mighty creature like Charizard, more or less a creature from another world. Most people thought they were dreaming while a few others believed that they have finally gone insane. Even the frightened manufacturer couldn’t believe what he was eyeing at.
"Is, Is…that thing going to eat us?" he asked timidly, sweating bullets at the mere thought of a large flying beast swooping down and eating everyone, one by one.
Doubt it.
Charizard is actually on a diet, thank you very much. It wouldn’t waste its breath on a sorry excuse of a man like him. It prefers Pokémon food rather than
I wander through the misty woods, pushing brambles to the sides with one hand as I guard my Canon camera with the other. I stop as come a small stream, I flip my bag to the front of me and reach into my backpack. “It has be in here somewhere.” I mumble to no one as my hands move around the items in my unorganized bag. I finally pull out my instructions on how to get to the abandon house that I had written down from the internet earlier. I shove the wrinkled paper back into my bag and cross the river then turn left. Twenty minutes later I appear at an old broken gate with a slightly sinking house behind two pine trees. My eyes dart quickly to the rusting No Trespassing sign and back again to the broken gate. I carefully lift the gate above the
Thesis Statement: In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the creature’s identity as a monster is due to societal rejection, isolation, and misinterpretation.
In Frankenstein, the shifting point of view brought the story together in a way I was unfamiliar with. Most of the books I read were either strictly first or third person instead of the retelling of a monster's life through his creator's own retelling of his life all narrated by Robert Walton. To make it clearer, Frankenstein was told through Walton's letters which tells Victor Frankenstein's story, which tells the monster's story, which tells Felix's and the cottager's story. It was slightly confusing, initially, but not unwelcome. Especially since it made me almost sympathetic towards Frankenstein's monster's plight. Looking through his eyes made it harder to dislike him because his short life was filled with loneliness

I weave in and out of the last of the summer apple trees, beside the deep pool, the weeping willows cry out as the wind rattles their bones. The howling tempestuous wind carries me into a clearing where a little girl, with her hair like an inferno splayed around her head like a delicate band, lies asleep in the silvery moonlight. I fly right up to her and land on her chest, where a scarlet black rose lies dead upon her breast. I wake up. I don’t know where I am.
Two weeks flew by and it happened again. That same creature returned. It all started when I was strolling across the hallway from my son's room to my room. I was walking and I stepped on what I thought was my pillow, but I looked down and something started to move around again. I lifted up the rug, but nothing was there, it was just dust. As I planted the rug back down, the creature arose and started to rush around in circles. I couldn't believed it, as I picked up a book to throw it at the creature, it wasn't there, it escaped to somewhere unknown. I lingered around and waited. Once I put the book down on the table, I started to pace back into my room until I heard a squeal. It was back! Well, it was ten and time was ticking. I forgot about
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Mary Shelley is an author who wrote the novel of Frankenstein. Mary Shelley herself in her life, experienced many deaths of close friends and family. When she was first born her mother died, furthermore Mary had a baby, who died 12 days later and her husband Percy Shelly drowned. Maybe it was these experiences, which led Mary Shelley to write such a novel of great horror published in 1818. Frankenstein itself is called 'the modern Prometheus'.
The horror classic novel Frankenstein has gathered a great deal of critical and commercial attention since first being introduced in 1818, and naturally there has been many academics who have analyzed many of the novel’s biggest themes, symbols, and motifs. This also includes in analyzing the author herself, Mary Shelley. Marcia Aldrich, who has her Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington, is one of the academics to underline the role of being a female writer in the 19th century and what importance this plays on the novel Frankenstein. In her article, co-written by Richard Isomaki, “The Woman Writer as Frankenstein” analyzes the significance of Mary Shelley being the daughter of a writer and how this contributed to her writing Frankenstein, which they speculate as her, Mary Shelley, envisioning herself as the Monster. Aldrich and Isomaki’s “The Woman Writer as Frankenstein” makes valid and persuasive points, which effectively argues that the novel is semi-autobiographical in the sense that Mary Shelley pictured her as the Frankenstein Monster, for many of the concerns that the authors bring up in their article highlight the insecurities, doubts, and inexorable frustrations of a young woman writing in the 19th century.
Nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley didn’t know when she began it that her “ghost story” would become an enduring part of classic literature. Frankenstein is an admirable work simply for its captivating plot. To the careful reader, however, Shelley’s tale offers complex insights into human experience. The reader identifies with all of the major characters and is left to heed or ignore the cautions that their situations provide. Shelley uses the second person narrative style, allusions both to Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and the legend of Prometheus, and the symbols of both light and fire to warn against the destructive thirst for forbidden knowledge.
Victor hurried around his lab scraping and scavenging around his for all the tools and parts that were needed. The tools were his future in the flesh. He was glistening with sweat from running around in circles clockwise around the table, breathing heavily, panting, tried ready to faint from exhaustion. He must finish before the monster comes to collect his prize, and Victor’s ticket out of this mess. Victor sewed her skin together. He put organs together like a huge puzzle, like a puzzle of life. Hew sewed her milky translucent skin together, parts of many other people before her. All was left to do was flip the switch. The switch that was so dependent on his fate, his future. He decided to pulled it, he had to do it. With a flip of the big, black, switch the creature rose.
I hastily fled to my newest place of work. I had inhabited the world with a second creation. This demon, though a woman, was more terrifying and hideous than the first. A monstrous creature created only for longing of a new beginning. A world where I would forget this horrible deed I had bestowed upon the universe. I had only promised my first creation a companion, not a family. His companion would never get the chance to conceive, for no more demons will wreak havoc upon mankind. I fled knowing the creature was close looking for what I had promised him.
