I read this book for my AP Lang class because we are analyzing arguments in the literature. This book, to say the least, was more than I expected. The physiological analysis, the reason why this book was written, and Mary Shelly's life, the writing...just everything was amazing. The book isn't scary because of the supernatural "stuff." The book is scary because of the human experiences portrayed in this book.

This book is so sad to think about. Frankenstein's monster just wanted to be loved, wanted to belong. He did not chose to live, yet he had to. How different could everything had been if Frankenstein has stayed with him and helped him see the world in a different way?
