Frankenstein Book Report

‘Snowman’ is a rare survivor of a dreadful catastrophe caused by the fall of modern science. He lives in a tree, clothed with rags, and hiding from relentless heat. He is at risk to Wolvogs, Rakunks, and Pigoons: dangerous genetically engineered hybrid animals that lower his chance of survival. Genetically modified humans, known as Crakers regard Snowman as their teacher. Snowman recollects what has lead him here: A wasteland, slowly starving to death, mourning his beloved Oryx and his best friend Crake.

Crispin, The Cross of Lead is about a boy in the 14th century. His mother just died and he has been chased out of his village. He has also been declared a “wolf’s head” which means that anyone can legally kill him. He meets a traveling jester named Bear and he takes care of Crispin. They make their way to a big city and then Bear meets with a few other people.

In Frankenstein, the Monster spends days held up in a shack peering in on a family’s life in order to be able to read and write. Lastly, both characters scare people. In The Tale of Despereaux, Despereaux makes people run away in fear when he violates even the most basic rules of mousedom. In Frankenstein, the Monster, being the 8-foot-tall giant that he is, people run away in fear at the sheer way he

Instead of starting at the beginning of his life, she begins at the end and allows him to tell his own story. Walton remarks to his sister that he found the man drifting on a sledge on a slab of ice, "nearly frozen…and deadly emaciated by fatigue and suffering" (15). By introducing him in this way, Shelley catches the reader’s interest from the start, causing them to wonder what brought this man to the arctic in such a condition. After Frankenstein catches Walton up on the events that brought him thus far, Walton provides Shelley a way to tell the end of the story as well. Because Shelley wrote these portions as letters, they remain separate from the rest of the narrative, making the switch between Walton and Frankenstein less awkward and opening the door to develop her story and characters in a

He finds her in a little hole, barely alive. He make a small fire and she eventually warms up and they continue towards the mountain. At the base of the mountain, they are ambushed by the raven clan, the clan that captured Torak, and they take him back to their little camp about halfway up the mountain. He stays a night there and in the morning he heads off to the top with the three items and his wolf. At the top, he is met by the bear and as the bear growls, Torak’s wolf takes the items, which are in a little sack, and he starts running with them.

He makes him wear a dress ,puts mud all over him, and dares him to go back to camp looking like that saying he is the monster. Their counselor disappears while he walks down the trail talking on the phone with his girlfriend leaving the kids all alone. The monster comes out and eats all the kids except one. James Lorbick was the one kid who was safe and had the chance to get away from the monster in Bungalow 4. My question would be why does the author make the monster seem somewhat friendly?

The man took him to the Yukon for a sled dog. He is chosen to be the main character because he goes through many changes, he has personalities like humans, and he learns faster than the rest of the dogs. As Buck goes through his retrogression, he finds himself in a constant struggle for mastery. The first evidence is his first time Buck got defeated for mastery was when Buck met the

First, both dogs are rescued. For instance, Buck is saved by John Thornton from being beaten to death by Hal, Buck now loves him deeply. White Fang is rescued by Jack Conroy while he is being killed by another dog in a dog fight. Since both dogs were rescued, this is a way at the end of the book that is similar between the two. Second, both Buck and White Fang get new masters again, (but they are good ones).

Frankenstein Written by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein features a creation gone awry in a classic, poetic piece of literature. Shelley paints a dark, sinister book which hopes to expose humanity as bleak and exclusive. Starting off, a man named Robert Walton sends his sister Margaret several letters detailing his adventure as the captain of a ship sailing towards the North Pole. Walton notes that he met a man by the name of Victor Frankenstein, whom he found stranded after attempting to catch another sledge pulled by dogs on a stretch of ice. Once the crew of the ship rescues Frankenstein, he details his life over the past (time interval) to Walton as he recovers from ailments only partially suffered from his encounter with the frigid weather.

Buck does the impossible and breaks the sled from the frozen snow and pulls one thousand pounds one hundred yards all by himself. John Thornton wins $1,600 dollars- which is around $46,000 today- and sets off into the wilderness with his accomplices Pete, Hans, Buck, and his other dogs to look for a lost mine. Buck accomplished this tremendous act out of love for John Thornton. “As Thornton got to his feet, Buck seized his mittened hand between his jaws, pressing in with his teeth and releasing slowly, half-reluctantly. It was the answer, in terms, not of speech, but of love” (52-53).He did not know that his master would win money for this superlative accomplishment.

How far can a man go before he hits a wall? In science, there seems to be no wall. But a barrier, a barrier of ethics. In modern times, man has turned himself into god with astonishing scientific advances. Vaccines, artificial intelligence, too many modern accommodations, and the subject of Mary Shelley's classic horror novel, giving life to the dead.

Frankenstein What is knowledge? Knowledge can be a good thing, but is it possible to gain too much intelligence and cross the line? The answer is yes, knowledge has a line that cannot be crossed, one just needs to know where to draw it at and not advance too far. Science and technology are quickly progressing in a positive direction every day, which is showing how knowledge is very helpful on that side of the spectrum.

In Frankenstein, directed by James Whale, I believe the 'inciting incident' is a combination of events that happens shortly after we see Frankenstein's monster alive. The monster walks into the room while Frankenstein is talking to the doctor, who, of course, thinks the creature is dangerous and evil. Because of his scientific discovery, Frankenstein is like a child who just got a brand new toy that no other kid has. He is excited and showing off his monster. He attempts to prove the monster is harmless and childlike as the creation is only a few days old and is still learning.
