We barely managed to escape in time if it hadn’t been for Sophie I wouldn’t have made it. She pulled me through that leygate thing and we went from Ojai, California to the church of Sacré-Coeur in Paris, France. We ended up in a supply closet I figured there would be alarms but Flamel didn’t listen. As we frantically tried to find a way out he managed to set off two more alarms. As if things couldn’t get any worse this big creature made out of wax appeared. I believe Flamel called it a--a tulpa Scatty seemed surprised when flamel said that. It honestly scared me when Sophie turned and screamed causing the monster to melt. I don’t like her having these powers she's not the same, and every time she uses them I can’t help but think how dangerous
to as 'it.' It is not given an identity and is regarded as a monster.

It is funny that you ask this assignment, because just 3 days ago, I was out for a lunch down by the lake with a few friends. There were all discussing their successes t a charms lesson, and I had done very poorly and didn’t want to be included. I began walking along the lake side and saw an interesting creature floating along. It was a merman and he didn’t look happy.
Torin went to the bed to help the sobbing young woman. He covered the woman with a nearby shawl which laid on the table. While Torin comforted the traumatized blond woman, Kendrick untied the cords that bound Aileana to the wall and bottom of the bed. He used the corner of the bed covering to wipe her body that was covered with the creature’s semen.
Chapter 2 of Shelley's Frankenstein, describes the relationship Victor has with fellow sister Elizabeth. And his closest friend Henry Clerval. Between Victor and Elizabeth “Harmony was the soul our companionship” (Shelley pg 38). And even though they were indifferent they got along like two peas in a pod. Henry was a son of a merchant. Who read about romances and chivalry. The connection of reading brought them together.
“No it ain’t” Max replied to his brother while throwing rocks into a little stream nearby not paying an attention that his brother didn’t respond to his reply. Soon he got extremely bored and started walking not knowing where his brother is at. He had wandered into a den of some sort and suddenly he got pulled into the underwater pond never to be seen again. The beast was scale clad and had features on its head except for a mouth cover with needle-like fangs. The fangs dripped the deep red blood of its first victim of many years.
Then, with his call the ground beneath our feet began to shake as if a second train were about to cross over the bridge. The vibrations pace quickened to a tremor. Stones and other pieces of loose gravel scattered over the ground started to slide dancing to the sudden earthquake. Old deadfall branches and piles of half-rotten leaves began to make their way down the hillsides as they tumbled into the creek. The sounds of subsiding earth, then became replaced by sounds of deep, hoarse moaning than seemed to resonate throughout the air as it flooded in from all around us.
I think this novel is pretty realistic in some ways. Before I read the book, I thought the story would just about the monster named “Frankenstein”. However as I read through it, I started to think the author Mary Shelley had pretty good sense of looking future. Maybe during nineteenth century, this book may sound ridiculous and unrealistic. However it is not a surprise if you see a clone of a certain animal or biologically modified products. Some fruits such as cherry tomatoes did not even exist one hundred years ago. It is the result of a DNA modification. It also causes of mass production of medicines and drugs that may save thousands of people.
Chris woke to the sound of crying. It was 3 o’clock in the morning and he’d been alone when he went to bed. Chris wasn’t really concerned about the noise so he rapidly attempted to go back to sleep because he had school in the morning. The noise kept getting louder and louder and louder to the fact that the noise would make Chris’s eardrum burst. Chris quickly got up out of his bed and quietly opened his door and walked into the living room.
While the idea of contrasting right and wrong has been a popular theme in literature, it is most noticeably show in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Frankenstein follows the story of a young scientist who tries his hand at God and, to his misfortune, has to deal with the consequences. Victor Frankenstein is a promising young scientist in the field of chemistry, until he creates life in an inanimate body and the Creature he makes wreaks havoc on all he holds dear. Between the several characteristics and journeys undertaken in Frankenstein, there are distinctive elements that can be contrasted which enhance the importance of themes within the novel.
The thundering footsteps of the march sang in chorus with the rumble of the blackened sky. The rain pelted down like bullets mercilessly penetrating deep into the earth. The smell of chaos and fear drifted into the cool, steel air and was carried away with the gush of breeze. The noise of confusion overpowered the sound of raindrops that shattered on the tile roofs. People strolled out of their houses with curiosity about the commotion at the centre of the village. The villagers held deadly weapons in their tight grasps that seem capable of mutilating the mightiest of beasts.
In the nineteenth century gothic novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley uses numerous allusions within her novel that can easily be interpreted by the reader. These allusions make it easier for readers to understand the characters and compare their circumstances throughout the story. The most significant and most used was from John Milton’s epic Paradise Lost. “…Paradise Lost stands alone in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries atop the literary hierarchy, and Milton’s epic is clearly rooted in the history of Puritanism and in the bourgeois ideal of the individual, the ‘concept of the person as a relatively autonomous self-contained and distinctive universe’” (Lamb 305). This book has numerous parallels that readers can easily interpret to Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein and his monster can both be identified with several characters from Paradise Lost. Among these characters are Adam, Eve, Satan, and God. Paradise Lost is even mentioned in chapter 15 after the monster that Victor creates reads the epic as if it was a history book. The Creature explains to Frankenstein, “But Paradise Lost excited different and far deeper emotions. I read it, as I had read the other volumes which had fallen into my hands, as a true history. It moved every feeling of wonder and awe that the picture of an omnipotent God warring with his creatures was capable of exciting” (Shelley 116). He is able to relate himself and the situations that he goes through in his life to this epic. Shelley’s use of
Victor hurried around his lab scraping and scavenging around his for all the tools and parts that were needed. The tools were his future in the flesh. He was glistening with sweat from running around in circles clockwise around the table, breathing heavily, panting, tried ready to faint from exhaustion. He must finish before the monster comes to collect his prize, and Victor’s ticket out of this mess. Victor sewed her skin together. He put organs together like a huge puzzle, like a puzzle of life. Hew sewed her milky translucent skin together, parts of many other people before her. All was left to do was flip the switch. The switch that was so dependent on his fate, his future. He decided to pulled it, he had to do it. With a flip of the big, black, switch the creature rose.
I hastily fled to my newest place of work. I had inhabited the world with a second creation. This demon, though a woman, was more terrifying and hideous than the first. A monstrous creature created only for longing of a new beginning. A world where I would forget this horrible deed I had bestowed upon the universe. I had only promised my first creation a companion, not a family. His companion would never get the chance to conceive, for no more demons will wreak havoc upon mankind. I fled knowing the creature was close looking for what I had promised him.
The beast flew overhead, its wings making a shadow on the ground at least eight yards wide. Suddenly, it began to descend. The ground trembled as it landed before me.
