It would be hard for the reader to notice that Marjane isn’t in the class photo if the reader wasn’t informed and this is due to the lack of visual distinction between them, which emphasizes the oppression of women.

Frankenstein and its closely related story-plot-cousins captivate audiences throughout the world and throughout time due to the situations that cause the reader/viewer to question their stance on morality and ethics revolved around the “Frankenstein Creature”. When reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, readers approach, reach, and have to double back to make sure the monumental scene of the Creature coming to life was really just those miniscule few lines fit snugly inside the many paragraphs much like the rest of the novel. The scene which holds such significance in the vast majority of Frankenstein’s reinterpretations is over before it seemed to have even begun in the novel.

What have I learned about myself as a learner from this chapter? According to the beginning of this chapter, each person who lives long enough will become a part of every age group. Without choice, we must all go through the various stages in life and eventually join the ranks of the aged. Like other cultural groups, we feel, think, perceive, and behave, in part, based on the age group to which we belong.
