In my English class, we have been preparing to read the novel Frankenstein. I find it amazing that the author was a woman and was at the age of 19! This is mainly because the book is about a monster, which normally when I think of the creators of a monsters, I picture a man. Although that might be biased, its always my initial thought. The fact that she was published in her time period though, proves that Frankenstein is a very well written novel.
In the book, Frankenstein, a man attempts to create life by using his knowledge in science. I think that with the knowledge and equipment that we have today, creating life could be very possible. Even with this amazing knowledge, I do not think that we should try to create life unnaturally because then you would look at this living thing like an object, and something living, I think, should not be looked at in that way.
I do not believe in the sorcerer's stone or immortality on this earth. I do not believe that a stone, of all things, can make it impossible for you to die. I believe that once you die, then you will have eternal life where ever you might end up, whether it be Heaven or Hell... But life on this earth is just too fragile for something as profound as immortality to exist.
Monsters can be found anywhere. Whether it be an animal, person, or problems within a person. A lion over killing an animal, that is somewhat monstrous; an everyday, seemingly normal person can become a monstrous serial killer; and a person can struggle with some kind of an addiction, allowing it to be a monster of their life. Everyone faces a monster nearly everyday of their life because no one goes through life with out some kind of trouble or mistake haunting them. These kind of monsters can only be dealt with by facing them, no matter how difficult it may seem.
