creates the monster, and lets him out into the world to die, but the monster later comes back and haunts Victor while the viewer has sympathy for both the monster and Victor.

The story So Much Unfairness of Things was a great story about a confused boy named P.S. he attended the Virginia Preparatory School.

P.S. was really nervous about the Latin exam. He was scared that he was going to fail it and his father would be ashamed of him. His father and his father’s father had attended…

Captivity or Death Species reintroduction may sound great on paper as animals are brought back home to the wild and are once again happy. Humans are able to save endangered species and nurture the populations back from the brink. Injured animals have a safe haven in which to rehabilitate and thrive, then return to their family at home in the wild. Animals in animal testing are released from their suffering of being poked and prodded. In theory, this all sounds great, but in reality, one forgets…

Cimorene is Justified in ignoring the social norms because she is not happy with her life at Linderwall, is Submissive to going to an unknown place from a toad, and she would rather be a princess dragon then marry Prince Therandill. One reason that Cimorene was justified is because she was going against the normal classes required for a princess. On page 4 it talks about Cimorene complaining to her…
