In the novel Frankenstein by Marry Shelly, the creature is out traveling to Geneva to find Victor, when suddenly he hears some voices. “I paused, not exactly knowing what path to pursue, when I herd the sound of some voices, that induced me to conceal myself under the shade of a cypress.” (99). I think this is a very strong part of the text because the creature is starting to understand that he won’t be understood if someone were to see him the way he is. Personally, when reading this text I’m starting to believe that the creature is starting to understand more about society and how human nature works when it comes to seeing something as wrenched and demonic looking as the creature. When coming across a creature with the stature and features of the creature it would be quite frightening.

                Good deeds turning into hatred. In the novel Frankenstein, Frankenstein’s creation is currently about to encounter some villagers that are wondering by, I think this is an important part in the novel because it’s were the creature develops this inner hatred towards mankind. “She continued her course along the precipitous sides of the river, when suddenly her foot slipt; and she fell into the rapid stream. I rushed from my hiding place, and, with extreme labour from the force of the current, saved her….  she was senseless; and I endeavoured, by every means in my power, to restore animation, when I was suddenly interrupted by the approach of a rustic, who was probably the person from whom she had playfully fled. On seeing me he darted towards me, and, tearing the girl from my arms, hastened towards the deeper parts of the wood. I followed speedily, I hardly knew why; but when the man saw me draw near, he aimed a gun, which he carried at my body, and fired.” (99). This part of the text is so important, mainly because this is when he relies no matter how good he does he will never be understood. The creature will never be a part of civilization and he is finally starting to understand that, The creature has built up this hatred towards mankind, that arguably is cause by mankind themselves.

 My writing has came a long way with just 2 more assignments after the padlet assignment. My reading has came along way as well, from listening to my recordings and how i was not really understanding the criteria. To now and how i start to break down and analysts the text, i would say that has came a long way as well. How i think of things now compared to when i first started it also has came a long way, i honestly did not know how to think for myself. I was not comfortable with my thought processes, now i feel as if i can think threw things and overcome the obstacles at hand.]]> 2019-02-02 01:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/john_vassar/izan9u0o7l6e/wish/326913356 mapping john_vassar https://padlet.com/john_vassar/izan9u0o7l6e/wish/328599837 Todays mapping out assignment really made me think about how there are multiply variables to the play A Dolls House by Henrik Ibsen. Something that stood out to me is how there are multiple things that connected to each other within the play, how different things leads up to an even bigger event, was really cool to watch it all unfold. I personally think that the house itself is huge when talking about this play, its almost as if it’s a prison for Nora so that she can become Torvalds “song bird”. I also think that its an issue that shes bond to the house because it causes conflict between the two of them. She isn’t educated on how life works, she doesn’t know the basic laws of society.

I can agree to a degree, I think the poem is about domestic abuse. Some would argue that Domestic abuse can be apart oppression, which it can. There are many classifications of domestic abuse. But whats important in this poem is how its described, "When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.". I think this phrase is huge because it shows how she was scared of her husband, it sounds to me like she was terrified of what her husband was capable of.]]> 2019-02-21 03:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/john_vassar/izan9u0o7l6e/wish/333483080 Further review john_vassar https://padlet.com/john_vassar/izan9u0o7l6e/wish/333485868 Upon further review of the poem, and to add some things while researching and discovering things about the author Adrienne Rich. I now think that the poem is about not living your life to the fullest. Understanding the author of a poem is huge when it comes to understanding what the meaning behind it means. Adrienne was lesbian, and she did not come out and tell everyone that she is lesbian tell 1976. I think the poem means this women is, old, weak, and full of regrets. "The massive weight of uncle's wedding band sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer's hand. When Aunt is dead her terrified hands will lie still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.". I think the aunt Jennifer's husband new she was lesbian and ordered her to not tell anyone that she had feelings towards other females or else he would hurt her. I think Adrienne wrote this poem for all the women out there that had these feelings and was scared to come out and say it.]]> 2019-02-21 04:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/john_vassar/izan9u0o7l6e/wish/333485868 Note from Underground john_vassar https://padlet.com/john_vassar/izan9u0o7l6e/wish/339538857 Something so hard to understand, something so hard to relate to. When reading this text i struggled to understand this text, due to myself trying to put myself in the main characters shoes and trying to relate. Due to my recent absents through the class due to medical reasons, i have missed out many discussions about the text. So my understand of the text might be completely different from what everyone else see's. I think this man has been rejected by society and is striving to make everyone else see what he see's within society. I personally think that he was shunned and put him into a mental illness, something that isnt curable and for that reason alone he will never recover and be able to connect with other people. ]]> 2019-03-09 09:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/john_vassar/izan9u0o7l6e/wish/339538857
