Remake of The Creature's Education by Joanna Meyer https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw Reactions en-us 2021-02-05 18:59:03 UTC 2025-10-08 14:07:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Samuel Wu https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169939652 A key event that stood out to me about the creature's education is shown in the beginning of chapter 11 when he first interacts with fire after wandering around in the cold. As he learns about the fire and the warmth it provides, he unknowingly touches it and realizes that it's quite painful. This scene can be seen as a negative experience for the creature, but he's able to understand the dangers of fire and realized that he must keep his distance.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169939652 Julissa Galvan https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169939994 One event from the creature's point of view that made me very sad and angry was when in chapter 15. The creature was trying to befriend the old man but was brutally attacked by Felix when the creature did nothing wrong. The creature says "I could have torn him limb from limb, as the lion rends the antelope. But my heart sank within me as with bitter sickness, and I refrained." This shows the kind heart the creature posses because like he said he could've absolutely hurt Felix in self defence but he stopped himself. It's very sad that the creature is being hurt by those around him just for the way he looks, yes I understand he is scary looking but that's not an excuse to attack him so harshly like that.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169939994 Roanne M. Dizon https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940101 The most important event in the monster's education was him learning how to speak and understand french/ the language in order to understand what everything is and what everyone is saying. As the deLacey family Safie, he also eveasdrops to learn with her to get a better udnerstanding. Learning the language allows the creature to be able to interact with others and hopefully find a companion so he could teach them and they would be able to communicate.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940101 Joseph Chong 10399682 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940288 An event that stood out to me was the part where he looks at a reflection and finds out that he is a monster. When he first met humans he was attacked, but he didn't know why they would attack him. The creature finding out that he wasn't human or that he shouldn't even be alive was something that changed his view on life and himself. This made me feel sympathetic towards the creature because the idea that you aren't a normal part of the world can emotionally damage someone.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940288 Hannah Kal https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940458 One event that had an impact on me was when the creature found out how Victor truly felt when he read his journal, where Victor wrote down the process of creating the creature. It was sad how Victor called the day of the creation of the creature a "hateful day". The creature was also lonely and questioning his existence, which was upsetting.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940458 Repsonse 10399392 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940577 When the creature brought up the courage to speak to the DeLacey family in person, it shows character development where he became confident in his abilities to speak to them. The creature learned many lessons about society from when Felix read his book to Safie and in his perspective felt a connection between them all. Although it was very sad when he was hit by a stick and rejected by Felix and when Agatha screamed and ran away. His desire to interact with mankind completely went away after he was rejected. I felt bad after his numerous interactions with people caused him to be isolated and hide in his hovel.  Even though he gained better abilities in his education to speak, he lacked receiving love from others which causes him to become more resentful and alone as he is the only one of his kind. ]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940577 Alex de la Cueva Tamanaha 10398882 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940643 The most important thing that the Creature learned was the French language. Learning about the concept and then mastering the art of communication in a short amount of time completely changed the way the creature thought about the world. By allowing him to actually express his thought and convey them to others, like he eventually does with DeLacey family. Learning language allows the creature to have hope of eventually finding a companion in an otherwise lonely and isolated world.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940643 Kaiden Tran https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940652 A key event that stood out to me was when the creature killed William and was smart enough to leave the picture with Justine to put the blame on her instead. I found it interesting because the reader sees how the creature has been doing for the past 6 chapters and how it had never felt any empathy or love except by the DeLaceys. After being shunned out by the family, he takes out all of his anger at Victor's (the man who should have been the first to give it love) brother and soon his family in Justine.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940652 Larne Reyes 1039912 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940903 When the creature revealed himself to the DeLacey family, I could empathize with his anger and frustration. They were the creature's only hope in befriending humanity, but they viewed him as a monster. This event really moved me as it showed how desperate the creature was for a companion, but in the end his efforts were in vain.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169940903 Vanessa Castellanos 1040065 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941018 One of the events that the creature experienced that greatly impacted him and myself is when the creature encountered a girl in the woods who fell in a rushing river. The creature saved the girl and attempted to revive her, but then a man came into the scene and took the girl away from the creature. When the creature followed them the man shot the creature. This rose an angry feeling within me because the creature only intended to save the girl and cause no harm, yet as a result of saving the girl, he receives a gun-shot wound on his shoulder. The creature should have been rewarded in place of harmed by the man, the man shot the creature for no reason. As a result of this experience, the creature vowed to seek vengeance on humankind.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941018 Melody Grado 10428411 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941077 An event that had a great impact on the creature's education is when the De Lacey family does not accept him making the creature realize that he won't ever be accepted by humans. He then decides from then on to take revenge on humans so they feel the pain he has felt.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941077 Seonu Chu 10589703 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941106 One experience the creature had that impacted me was when the creature saw its reflection in a transparent pool. My reaction to this event was sympathy because the creature is now traumatized by his outer appearance and is worried to interact with any more people even the DeLacey family. ]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941106 Garrett Kaay https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941118 One of the most impactful events was when he saved the little girl from falling in the river. He saved her life but did not receive any recognition for his good deed. Instead he was shot and driven into the forest.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941118 10398891 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941207 One of the learning events that the creature experienced that seemed important to me was when he first interacted with humans in the village and he was attacked. I found it sad that the humans did not take his calm actions into consideration before attacking him. They only feared his appearance, although the creature did not hurt them at all. This made me truly understand how difficult it was for the creature to be part of the human world. After being abandoned and having no where to go, it is sad to know that no one will accept him and take him in. ]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169941207 10401151 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169942069 When the Creature got hurt and squealed at after mustering up the courage to seek out the Delacey family, it was very moving. It made me sad, knowing how judgmental and unaccommodating people can be if you don't fit into what's expected.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169942069 Miguel Jimenez https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169942079 One event that stood out was when the creature wanted Victor's younger brother William to go and be friends with him. William didn't want to be friends with the creature because of how hideous the creature looked. The creature says, "
I drew his hand forcibly from his face and said, ‘Child, what is the meaning of this? I do not intend to hurt you; listen to me.’
“He struggled violently. ‘Let me go,’ he cried; ‘monster! Ugly wretch! You wish to eat me and tear me to pieces. You are an ogre. Let me go, or I will tell my papa.’
“‘Boy, you will never see your father again; you must come with me.’ “‘Hideous monster! Let me go. My papa is a syndic—he is M. Frankenstein—he will punish you. You dare not keep me.’ “‘Frankenstein! you belong then to my enemy—to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim.’ “The child still struggled and loaded me with epithets which carried despair to my heart; I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet."
Here the creature wants a friend but by the way, he looks no one wants to friend him. We can see that the creature just wants a friend and he didn't mean to kill William.

He learned French which allowed him to comprehend the DeLacey family. Despite the fact that creature was purely different from everyone around him, this allowed him to feel more included compared to prior to learned French where he didn't feel comfortable because he felt he didn't belong to the society.]]> 2021-02-05 19:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943117 Isabelle Judd https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943232 The most important thing that the creature learned throughout the beginning of its journey was the language that he learned while listening in on the lessons that Safie was receiving. Learning this language later helped him also develop a sense of reading, and the books that he came across also helped develop his language comprehension, as he incorporated the words he learned into his speech. Overall, learning to speak and read developed the audience's view on the creature, as one wouldn't expect him to be as mannered due to him being fairly new to the world he was in.]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943232 Kate Baul https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943459 An event that stood out to me the most is when the creature gets shot by the man when he saved the little girl. This made me feel both sad and angry since the creature was doing a good deed, but ended up get shot as a result. This made me empathize with the creature since even though he performed a good deed, he was still misjudged due to his appearance.]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943459 Jose Anglo 1045086 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943647 One event that the creature experiences that impacted me was when he was not accepted by the DeLacy family. He believed that they would be accepting and caring for him but after revealing himself, their reactions mirrored the people from the village. It's sad that people are unwilling to accept some just for appearance. ]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943647 Gidget Rider 10590201 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943952 Something that stood out to me about the creature's education was when he found those books in chapter 15 and began to learn about right and wrong, and how human's thought process works. He learned more about leadership and what people can do with too much power.  ]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169943952 gavin-kyle vu 10407181 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169944501 One important event that the creature had gone through during his education was trying to learn the french language and speak it. He did this as a way to communicate, and understand things surrounding him. Learning french was also beneficial to him cause it could help him find friends and people to interact with while being able to express himself. ]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169944501 10395695 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169944639 One event that had an impact on me was when the creature learned the different ways and aspects of human kindness, yet was still seen as a monster. By observing the De Lacey family he learned that stealing their food hurt them and thus returned to scavenging for berries. He also knew that both Felix and Agatha had many duties to fufill and the creature helped make their lives easier by cutting them firewood and shoveling the snow away from the path. ]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169944639 1041453 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169945362 An even that had an affect  was when the creature learned the language French.  Now the creature can talk and express himself.]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169945362 Mia Seibert 10399941 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169946455 One of the most important events the creature experienced in the novel so far was when he was not accepted by the family and how th]]> 2021-02-05 19:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169946455 Paul Kim https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169948369 One thing that stood out for me about the creature's education was how he was able to master the French language in around 2 years. For many people, it would probably take them years and years to master the French language and the creature only took a few years to do that. That is highly impressive for a creature of that caliber.]]> 2021-02-05 19:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169948369 Isabella Pascual 1039567 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169949322 One of the most important learning experiences of the creature is his development of French literacy and language as it allows him to expand his understanding of society and human nature, express his emotions, and communicate with the De Lacey family.]]> 2021-02-05 19:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169949322 Megan Moritz 1043198 https://padlet.com/meyer_j2/ulw7g22zccp9cebw/wish/1169952233 One event that stood out to me was when the creature saw his own reflection.
