Journal Entry: Frankenstein

In the book Frankenstein you can see various plot twist and turns. This book makes you dig deeper and leave you wanting more. Vector, the main character, was one of the most important figures in this story. He started off by giving you his childhood, and a part of him that he was happy with. Over time you see how everything changes and he has his own creation. All the creation wanted was to be accepted. Being neglected by pretty much everyone, made Frankenstein feel horrible in a way. Him even asking for a companion to be made for him was even shot down by his own creator who was also scared of him. Over time he started killing those who really didn't want much to do with him. The book really gives you a battle of thinking about the question, "who was more wrong?" Was it Frankenstein for going around killing people because he had no love, or was it simply the people for not accepting him for who he was. Some may think it's the creators fault for not giving him the pr

A Psalm of David

Psalm 103: 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Letter to Advice Column

Dear Advice Column,        My name is Grant Wiggins. I am a teacher in Louisiana, and I have been given the task to teach something I don't know that well myself. My aunt has asked me to turn this man from what the courthouse would call a "hog" into a man. Yeah, I could teach him some things, but it's not that simple. Every time I try to sit him down and have a talk with him, he either doesn't respond or say it doesn't matter. He only acts this way, because that's what they call and treats him. Advice column, can you please help me and tell me what I have to do with this situation?

A Lesson Before Dying: Chapter 3 Questions 1.How does Henry Pichot's insistence that Jefferson "did it" redirect the plot narrative?        He insistence that Jefferson "did it" to help support his opinion on how Grant shouldn't be able to visit Jefferson and also he believes that Jefferson "did it" and that he should also suffer the consequences. 2.   Miss Emma keeps saying that Grant "doesn't have to go" to visit Jefferson in prison. The narrator comments, "She was looking at me but not seeing me, and not meaning what she was saying either." What is Grant implying by this, and what does he think she means?         By saying that Grant nearly meant that Miss Emma knew that he didn't want to go but she was not very accepting of the fact. She said " doesn't have to go" just to make Grant feel bad. 3.  What does the back door of Henri Pichot's plantation house symbolize to Grant and his aunt? Why

What is my dream

        My dream, as of now is to make it to a good college and study in music. I don't really know what I want to major in within music, but I do believe I want to help others open their minds up to singing. What makes this my dream is that I was one of those people who never really had an open mind towards singing. One day when I tried out for Ben C. Rain choir, and I realized that people have more potential than what they think. Not everyone is blessed with a talent and most who have one doesn't even know it. I want to help those just like my choir director helped me. My mother always told me that I can be anything as long that I set my mind to it, so why not do something with music.       With me doing music, there's a lot I can look into. I want to push more towards a choir director because I love how it works. I love controlling the sound of the music and who should be loud and who shouldn't. I never really can see myself as the teacher, but at the same
