Cherry Red

Often times, in the court of law, and in society, murderers and crime offenders are often viewed as “hateful, malicious, and vicious” by the general public; and honestly, it’s easy to view them as such. You had said so yourself early this week about a certain case that occurred in which you asked, “What would make someone turn so evil?” However, I believe that our society has caused us to highlight and view criminals’ bad nature, rather than looking at the root of what caused them to go awry. At times, their crimes overshadow the fact that they are still human. I used this thought that we had discussed earlier and applied it to a rather strong central theme that is present within Frankenstein: What caused Frankenstein’s creation to go awry? If Victor is the reason for his creation’s radical hatred towards mankind, who is the real monster in this case? Specifically, one stark passage on page seventy-five clearly delineates the creation’s warped ideology towards his existence and mankind, and how he acquired such thoughts. In addition, this passage shows how experiences can drastically change someone’s life, and how this change can negatively affect others. However, before delving into the passage specifically, I must give an explanation as to why this passage plays a key part throughout the narrative. Throughout the first half of the Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the “monster”, is our first glance at his creation. Without uttering a word to his creation,…

1. I think what is fresh in Cranes approach is the way we see the battle. We are seeing and hearing about the battle though the eyes of this young man who is referred to as the youth throughout the story. Though his single thoughts and feelings the story is told making it seem very real. 2. I think the paragraph from The Red Badge of Courage makes the reader feel like they are actually experiencing the events. I think this is because in the passage from the successes and failures of…

Being raised as 1 out of 5 children by a single mother, I have learned to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices my mother has made to be a great parent. And I feel that the only way to show my gratitude to her is by becoming successful and being happy with the decisions I make in life. In the passage “The Good Daughter,” Caroline Hwang gives an account of the obligation she felt when it came to repaying the sacrifice her parents made of moving from Korea to America for her. The main idea in…

In “Saturday the Small Pox,” one pattern that is used throughout this passage is the use of objects or ideas to indirectly describe her beauty. In line one, Montagu describes how no one would ever acknowledge the idea of betraying her. This could be indirectly implying that men would never do such a foolish thing because her beauty is so remarkable and is the fairest of them all. To explain her contraction of smallpox, she also writes about how her beauty has fled. In line 9, she notes that her…

darkness, the people I met. I seem to only remember the house itself ... the candlesticks that burned bright on rainy days, that flickered so violently, you would swear a ghost was pushing the flame. I grew up at Burkley, alongside my cousin and aunt. How many years have passed since then? Burkley was a beautiful place, surrounded by beautiful things, artifacts of art itself. It seemed, were kept there, on constant display. I suppose it's come time for me to tell of my life there. My bedroom…

a single moment. I could hear my family’s cries from the house, but I couldn’t go back. I knew they would never forgive me for losing their prized possession. Without that cow, we were nothing. So I set off to find that Daisy, or die trying. I had no other choice. I ran through the forest until the sunset peeked through the tree line. I came to a clearing, a large body of water sitting in the middle. It was glistening in the bright colors of the sky, undulating off into the horizon. It was…

The camp you will be staying at is off the coast of Southern California and is on the North Western side of Catalina. It is 22 miles from Los Angeles which is where you board the ship that takes you to Catalina. When you are outside (or sometimes even when you are inside), the temperature is normally really warm and sometimes humid so I would suggest bringing and applying sunscreen in the morning and after every meal. Some of the native plants are eucalyptus trees, pine trees, moss, and cherry…

black hair as black as coal. She wore a traditional Japanese kimono with beautiful, elegant colors of black, red, and gold. Namiko had never been outside of her village of Kitanizawa, Japan.

Kitanizawa is surrounded by a mountain covered with forests covered with vines, moss, and the creatures that live deep within the forest. The mountain that surrounds the village is Mt. Daisen, which…
