The Frankenstein Blog

              Over time people change in many ways, whether they become good, evil or, both.
In the book Frankenstein he changes to the better.

             In the first part of the book Dr. Frankenstein was all about trying to create life. He studied and studied until he figured out that he could create it with electricity, on his first experiment he tried on a dog he found that died, and it brought him back to life, but then he died again, so he figured he needed more electricity, he went and gathered all the body parts he could find and sewed them together, and waited for a storm. He figured that the lighting would have enough power to bring the creature back to life, and it worked.


           After he created the life he felt very good about himself, then he started to realize that he made a huge mistake and he tried to get away from the creature and ignore him. The creature kept appearing everywhere and he still put him off, eventually the monster showed him all he wanted was to be loved, and asked for another creature but Dr. Frankenstein said no. Frankenstein made a mistake and he would not to it again, so he realized that creating life was wrong and wished he never did.

          Everyone changes some way in every book or movie, Dr. Frankenstein thought it would be good to create life and then realized that it was a stupid idea.

Anthropomorphism Blog

                  Anthropomorphism can be giving to many things, like and animal or any other thing on earth, but animals to me stick out more than anything.

                   In the book Call of the Wild Buck is given many human like qualities and emotions. During the book he is given spoiled and living the high life, living with Judge Miller, Until he is stolen and traded to Alaska to become a sled dog. Up there he is treated badly and is beaten and not taken care of because his owners have no idea what they are doing. He is given human like qualities when he takes care of the other dogs, by stealing food and other needs, then Buck is saved by John Thornton and attaches to him. While low on food Buck goes out and kills and moose and a bear for food, when he returns the camp has been attacked by Indians, so Buck goes out and kills them all, this shows that buck can love and be revengeful just like a human.
                   In ancient Egypt the humans used to serve Gods with human and animal characteristics. They would have human charcteristics but be animal like. They were given emotions and other human qualites, like love, compassion, and other emotions.

        There are many things that are related to Anthropomorphism, but these are the two I enjoyed writing about.

Call of the Wild Summary

             I would want the zeal to live, reason for living means more to me than just having an everyday routine, and living safely in your house or shelter.
           
             If I was put in a situation where I had to survive with none of my everyday items, then my instincts would kick in and I would use the resources around me, and whatever I needed to survive. If I did not have a zeal to live to me then there is no point in trying to survive, everyday i have a zeal to live, because I know something special awaits me tomorrow, and from then on.

             In Titanic, some people have the zeal to live, and some do not. The ones that have the zeal they do survive and get off the boat, but the one that do not, they give up and die, and slow and painful death. Rose had the will to survive because she found a piece of floating scrap wood, Jack also had the zeal, but gave it up for something he loved more than himself.

           In Call of the Wild, Buck has the zeal to survive and to become top dog. He shows the pack through the whole book that he has what it takes to become top dog, and after they see this, they come to realize that he does. He kills Spitz the leader and takes over the sled dogs, they respected him more than Spitz.

          Your zeal to survive may be different than mine, but this is what I think it takes and what it means to have the zeal to survive.

Life

If I were to create life would I?
The awnser is no, I do not think this power would be safe because in my eyes the life form would suffer a short and pain staking life. Also I think that it would be morally wrong becuase, it talks in the bible that God only has the power to give a new life.

Frankenstein Blog

What I have seen about Frankenstein is that he created a green monster, and he goes around killing people.

I do not think we should be able to create life because, it could be cruel to the other thing that was created. Because, it could be confused and not live right while being alive.

We will be reading this in class and I will see how much different the book is.

Word of 2012

Success- The accomplishment of an aim or purpose. The reason I chose this word is because I need a lot of success for this year.

I graduate this year and I would love to walk with my class of 2012. Although school has been a struggle for me I have had a lot of help from everyone.

College is another subject I need to excel in the 2012 year. With success comes a career, I would like to become a welder and a diesel mechanic and go to ASU Searcy.

Success is a strong word to accomplish, but this is why I wanted to choose success.
