According to the ALA office for Intellectual Freedom the book Fallen Angels by Myers contains offensive language , racism, and violence. However, I agree that the book contains inappropriate content for young adults but it also demonstrates a young adult just like us that suffered an injury and couldn’t play basketball which was his passion, it was hard for him to overcome the situation because it was something he had worked for his entire life , but instead of being depressed…

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,…

The major theme in Frankenstein based off of the highly complex relationship that the creature and Victor Frankenstein share. This theme and relationship can be compared to other stories such as The Strange Tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Both stories include a creator and a creation, though the relationship that the creator and creation share in each book is much different, yet in a way they are similar. Both Frankenstein and The Strange Tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde share a common theme.…

In Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, appearance and exterior beauty are used as methods for determining the superiority, acceptance, and status of an individual of society. Through her characters, Shelley emphasizes the unfortunate importance of beauty in first impressions, the superiority of good-looking individuals, and reliance on outer beauty for pleasure. It’s although inner beauty lacks importance and outer beauty is all that is significant to humanity. We are introduced to several…

In Frankenstein, society pays a huge role in the way the creator acts, and how society views him differently. Frankenstein’s creature which he has created is yellow-skinned and 8 feet tall, in society no one looks like him. When the creature thought he could socialize with some of the cottagers he found “one of the best of these I entered; but I had hardly placed my foot within the door, before the children shrieked, and no one of the women fainted” (shelly 93). Society back then thought there…

comedy) that succeeded more than what colleagues had expected. Glee, it quickly became known as “first of its kind.”Glee took three genres and combined them. Unlike most teenage shows, this show actually pertained to adolescents and over the years young adults. Ryan Murphy portrayed teen melodrama with common ups and downs of an adolescent's life like relationships, friendships while heavily relying on the emotional and relational development of tangible characters.…

Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein contains many supernatural elements and fantastical events. However, in addition to the supernatural fears it introduces, it also brings something even more menacing: the danger in human nature. This genre of science fiction is one basically invented by Mary Shelley in which she explores a direction many would not be familiar with. Although seemingly unrelatable, she ties in the innate desires of humanity and twists it into something evil. Suffering from the…

Expectation and reality are two different sides of a story. The former could change depending on one’s imagination or vision, but the latter on the other hand remains a fact. The outcome of having high expectations can often be disappointing. This outcome is mainly called the reality, which at times can be cruel. An expectation and its reality are never consistently even. The two sources that I chose to compare and contrast are Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and On Seeing England for the first…
