Frankensiten

1. I think romantic means something that has to do with love. Romanticism is romantic spirit or tendency. Imporntant things that has to do with Romanticism is un realistic love and adventure.
2. The definition of Gothic is pertaining to or designating the style of painting, sculpture..etc. An example of gothic in Frankenstien is that Victor never leaves in his apartment which is describes as dark and creepy
3.Alchemy-a form of chemistry and speculative philosophy practiced in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and concerned principally with discovering methods for transmuting baser metals into gold and with finding a universal solvent and an elixir of life.
This has to do with Frankenstein because Victor wanted to find cures for diseases and bring people back to life which is like eternal youth.
4.Franeknstein was written because Mary Shelley went to Switzerland with her soon to be husband and had a competition with the people there who can write the scariest story and she wrote Frankenstein.
5. Prometheus- the son of Iapetus who was one of the Titans. He tricked the gods into eating bare bones instead of good meat. He stole the sacred fire from Zeus and the gods. He did not tell Zeus the prophecy that one of Zeus's sons will overthrow him. In punishment, Zeus commanded that Prometheus be chained for eternity in the Caucasus. There, an eagle (or, according to other sources, a vulture) would eat his liver, and each day the liver would be renewed. So the punishment was endless, until Heracles finally killed the bird. Prometheus is known to be one of the most interesting characters in Greek Mythology.
"Modern day Prometheus"-Victor Frankenstein was like Prometheus by keeping the creation of the monster to himself. The monster destroyed everything and when people found out that Frankenstein was the one who created the monster, they decided he deserved death.
6.Description of the monster- has green skin
-looks a little like Victor
- very tall
-has black hair
-has red eyes
-looks a little deadly/ghostly
7. In the poem, Paradise Lost, by John Milton, the Satan rebels agaisnt his master creator. He rebelled against him because he didnt like the blessings coming from the creator and wanted to find something about the Earth. This relates to Frankenstein because in Frankenstien, the monster rebels against his creator to go find and "tour" the earth.

Narrative Voice- First person- The narrator is crazy because no one normal is afraid of an eye. Even if he had a phobia it shoudlnt have been that bad, that it drove him insane and made him kill the man. "I made up my mind to take the life of the old man and thus rid myself of the eye forever"

Edgar Allan Poe lived from January 19, 1809 untill Octover 7. 1849.
The disease that affected many of his loved ones was Turberculosis.
He died because of drug overdose, depression, suicide and alcohol.
His last words were, "God help my poor soul".
The story behind the quote is that Poe died, but only a few people will get upset and care because not everyone loved him or his work.
Some shows that were influenced by Poe are the Simpsons, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Homicide: Life on the Street.
The Poe Toaster is when people visit Poe's original grave and leave three roses.
At the end of "The Masque of the Red Death", Prince Prospero and his partygoers die because the Red Death got into the Castle. I felt a little bad that they died because they thought they can really stop themselves from catchnig a deadly disease. When they relize that the disease has entered the palace is when I felt bad for them.("Darkness and Decay and the Red Death have at last triumphed")

In my knpasack i have many books and supplies that I use for school. My supplies help me take notes for school. My favorite thing I have in my bag are my colored pens. Each one of my colored pens have their own special relation towards me. I have pick pens, red pens, blue pens, green pens, black pens, purple pens, tall and short pens too. Each color can relate to a mood that Im in. When I use my red or pink pens I am happy and cheerful. If im using my black pens, im serious and studious, ready to take 4 pages of notes. When I use my green pens, I am tired and not in the mood to learn or do anything. If Im using my blue or purple pens, I am in a talkative mood. I love all of my colored pens dearly.

Hi, I have just entered the 10th grade and so far, I have no complaints except for the long days. As of now, many of the students have difficulties waking up early in the morning. Since the day ENDS at 5:30 pm, it's pretty hard to wake up at 6:30 in the morning. If you are one of those students that live farther away, like not in the area, then you would have to get up earlier just to be at school on time. With the workload that the teachers think we are able to handle, plus any extra curricular activities, or teams that you would want to join, takes up alot of our time. If someone asked you what time you get home on a regular day, some people are able to say, around 8:30 at night, because of the practices and everything. It doesnt matter WHAT exactly they were doing, the point is they were still IN school. In order to make it possible for the students to pull off all of this, it would be a good idea to end EVERYDAY at 4:00 pm. Thanks for your time.



Helllooo right its soo annoying how we have to get up so early in the morning?! I can't.. like they give us soo much hw and then expect us to do EVERYTHING and get up for school?!.. It's really annoying. Everyone is always exhausted and can't function so early like its physically impossible. Even though I always smile and say hiii to everyone in the morning just to be polite, im really thinking " I want to be home in my bed, sleeping"... When we are in a class and it's like 10:30 in the morning, we are in third period and meanwhile on a regualr day if ther was no school I wouldnt even be UP yet. how retarted?!?!. someone really needs to do something, and im sure other people have complained about it alredy, i just think they DO NOT care.I meant I know they care but not in that way of like "hazita how is she going to get up I feel bad for her let's give her an extra hour or two" right?

Gothic people

This image is Goth because it is very dark and mysterious. Usually, Gothic people are either depressed or have something wrong with them and thats why they are Goth. This girl in the image has blood coming out of her, and its just a dark scary photo. It's not something pleasant that you would like to see everyday because looking at this picture can make you fear the Gothic people. Not all of them look like this, but most of them do.
