Unbroken In Frankenstein

563 Words3 Pages

To start off my essay I would like to ask a question. What books would be most fitting for Frankenstein's Creature in the twenty-first century? Well I have the answer for that question. The first one is Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, the second book is The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow, and the last book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Each one has it’s own specific lesson that the Creature will need to know about in the twenty-first century.

Unbroken is a perfect story for the Creature to read. Reason be is because it tells us about war, struggle, love, and finding forgiveness to your enemies. I think all of those would be beneficial for the Creature because he said, “CURSED, CURSED CREATOR!” (Shelley page number …show more content…

The story is about him and the things he did in his lifetime, and the life lessons that the Creature needs. One of the many lessons we learn from The Last Lecture is that challenges are there for a reason. “But my heart sunk within me as with bitter sickness, and I refrained. I saw him on the point of repeating his blow, when, overcome by pain and anguish,” (Shelly page number 98). This is one of the hardest things the Creature has to face is the rejection of the DeLacey family. This is one of the biggest turning points in the movie that we see in the Creature. The Creature could have learned from the experience and has not turned evil but he did not learn why problems are there. That is why The Last Lecture is a perfect book for the Creature to …show more content…

The Creature needs to know that what you look like doesn’t really matter it is more about how you live your life. One example of this is when William Frankenstein meets his doom but not without insulting the Creature: “ ‘Hideous monster! let me go. My papa is a Syndic-he is M. Frankenstein-he will punish you. You dare not keep me’ ” (Shelly page number 104). William tells the Creature that he is hideous and the Creature decides to react about him calling him an ugly monster then kills him for being a Frankenstien. In To Kill a Mockingbird it goes over the racism of the color of people's skin but also talks about how we should not be rude or racist about someone's looks. Yet some people might say that the Creature don’t need these books. There are so many reasons why these books are needed for the Creature, each of these books would obviously stated in the paragraphs

    A monster is something that people are afraid of and appearance plays a huge role in that fear that people might have. In the passage that I have chosen it is obvious that even other monsters can be afraid of bigger and more powerful monsters. “His eyes were heavy-lidded, minutely veined, wrinkled like the an elderly mead-drinkers. The high dead eyelids wrinkled more, the corners of his mouth snaked up as he chuckled, sly, hardly hiding his malice.” (58), this proves that even another monster can still fear another monster just because of appearance and their qualities.

In his knowledge that social belonging is the missing component to his own happiness, he confronts the people he secretly observed only to, once again, be met with fear and anger (94-95).
