Frankenstein

I did my pecha kucha on the book Frankenstein.  Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley when she was only nineteen years old and it was published when she was twenty-one years old.  The book begins with Captain Walton sailing into the North Pole in the search of glory and he meet Viktor Frankenstein who comes aboard his ship and tells him his story.  Viktor searches for the answer to life through science and he creates a monster made out of limbs of dead people.  The story takes a turn for the worst and the monster begins to wreak havoc on Frankenstein's life.  It kills his brother and his fiancee and turns Viktor's life upside down.  He turns to a path of vengeance and sorrow and spends the rest of his life chasing down the abominable monster he has created. I personally really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.  Not only does Shelley lead you on wild goose chase but it leaves wanting even more when your done reading it.  I enjoyed doing this project because it gave me a way to rely a great book to fellow readers and it was also our also our last project for literature class.
