Assumption of Mary

The novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a story about the folly of man-kind in the dangers of technological innovation without thought for repercussions. The follies arrogance, ignorance, and negligence find their way into the plot, and affect the outcomes of the novel. To begin, Frankenstein shows the folly arrogance. Upon hearing that the monster would be with him on his wedding night, Frankenstein immediately pitied Elizabeth and assumed she would grieve over his death, when really the…

Almost everyone has seen a film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and knows the basic plot of the story, but if you have read the novel, then you most likely disagree. Shelley’s book goes beyond a mad scientist and a mindless monster that are portrayed in films, as in the 2015 production Victor Frankenstein. Having an extensive imagination, and being an avid fan of reading, I opine that a book is always more fascinating than its movie counterpart, but in the case of Victor Frankenstein,…

main lesson of this play is don’t always believe what you are told. What you may have been told could be true, but don’t make assumptions if you don’t ask the main source first. Another lesson is you should be accepting to everyone even if you may believe that they are different, weird, or doing the wrong thing. The Children’s Hour is about a young teenage girl, Mary, played by Grace Viveros, who feels she is treated unfair by everyone around her. She feels targeted and believes she must do…

Mary Shelley, 1800’s feminist and the famous author of Frankenstein once said “I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.” Women of the past constantly dealt with misogyny and were thought to be a threat to society. This is especially apparent with Curley’s wife, a character from John Steinbeck’s book, Of Mice and Men. Set in the 1900’s, the book sets up stereotypical gender roles with men depicted as the superior sex and women being treated like property or a pests.…

Mary Shelley, one of the most creative thinkers of her time, has proved herself capable as a teacher by showing her many readers the intense powers of corruption in her novel Frankenstein. In her story, Shelley’s first character, Victor Frankenstein, a young innovative scientist, brings a monster-like human being, made out of dead human and animal parts, to life. When the monster awakens for the very first time, Frankenstein finds himself disgusted by the monster’s hideous appearance. He leaves…

A common theme that I have noticed in many of these arguments is how Frankenstein, a nearly two hundred year old text, applies to today’s societal problems. In other words, we’re using a book from 1818 to try to explain modern culture. Sure, author Mary Shelley included the word “modern” in her title, but I suspect that she didn’t anticipate that how would continue to be modern for roughly two centuries. Or has it? I would argue that there’s a vast difference between Shelley’s Frankenstein and…

assimilate into what he called “white society.” Equiano rejected his African-American appearance when he realized that it was his skin that made him inferior in the eyes of his white authority figures. He inquisitively watched his master read and made an assumption that books talked to his master, almost as if they were telling him secrets that Equiano could not know. This is what Henry Louis Gates Jr. called the “Trope of the Talking Book;” slaves like Equiano thought that they could not read…

from 2.3 to 1.2 million years ago. Paleoanthropologists actually found the first fossils of Paranthropus boisei in 1955. (what does it mean to be human) However, not until anthropologist Mary Leakey discovered the well-preserved cranium OH5 at Olduvas Gorge, Tanzania in 1959. It was dated to 1.75 millions of year. Mary Leakey and her husband Louis Leakey classed the specimen as Zinjanthropus. Later on, Louis Leakey’s son Richard Leakey considered Paranthropus boisei to be the first hominin…

described as, “an unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Fear is unescapable and can cause several different feelings such as; anger, sorrow, and anxiety. The emotion, fear, is shown in Mary Shelley’s classic novel, Frankenstein. The novel is based on two characters, Victor Frankenstein and his Creature. Victor created this Creature by dead organisms and his knowledge about forming life. Interestingly enough, he fears his own…

We start celebrating Christmas Eve by going to Church and having the last posada, as a family. When we come back from church we gather at a family members house. There we eat our traditional food, pozole, tamales, and drink ponche. As the night goes on we joke around, play games, dance, and even sing.
