Personal Narrative: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Wants over needs.

I’ve seen her. I want her. I need her. She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. I’ve started thinking of ways to make her mine. I can't think clearly whenever I see her, I am just transfixed watching her move and I decide then and there that I have to have her whether she likes it or not. I will be making her life so much better once she is mine. From what I have seen from my car I can see that she will help someone who is in need. The next person she will help will be me, But how do I get her to help me without looking suspicious. I will have to work harder to get her than I thought, But I will do anything for my precious angel. She doesn't know it yet but her life is about to get ten times better once I am part of the picture.

I’ve been planning for a few weeks now but I act out every scenario and it never bloody works, she either screams or is able to get away which just angers me. I need her. I want her so badly. I am ready to just go and grab her but I know that will never work. I need her to be knocked out so that she can’t fight

Today is the day. I felt it when I was watching her get ready for college this morning. And I knew today was the day when she fought with her mother this morning just before she had to leave. Today she will be mine. That beautiful creature will be completely mine. I had to wait until she was far enough away from her home but also far enough away from her college. I decided now was the time. It was now or never. I parked and let the “fear for my dog's life” consume me. I made sure that the chloroform was secure in my pocket and ran towards her. She looked so surprised which made me love her even more. When I told her my story she actually believed me and ran back to my truck with me. Just as we got out of sight I grabbed her and held the chloroform over her mouth and nose and waited.Once she was finally out, I put her gently in the back of my truck and made sure that she couldn't

    Readers may surmise that Victor’s tale would be the key to making Walton see Victor in a new and more reasonable light, but they would be wrong. In Walton’s final letters, dated only one more week after Victor began telling his story, he continues to describe Victor in peculiar ways. He calls Victor’s eyes “fine and lovely” (178) and says that “his eloquence is forcible and touching” (179). Although “forcible” could connote something negative, it seems more likely that Walton means it positively as in “powerful” or “convincing” (OED). On the same page he tells Margaret that his mind and “every feeling of [his] soul” were “drunk up” by Victor’s “elevated and gentle” manner and storytelling. Much like his contradictory discussion of his experience…

    At my school, it is required that outside reading novels are read in accompaniment with the texts of the perspective language arts classes themselves. These books are chosen by the student. When it comes to finding the right books, students are given a list and introduced to a wide range of stories and novels. The contents of these literary works are entirely diverse. Very often, people have problems with the issues they deal with and many books get banned. Just in 2004, the Renton School District in Washington state banned in its high schools Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain after an African-American student claimed that the book degraded her and her culture.* Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is one of those…

    The first step of getting my dog began we went to the rescue to take dogs out on walks which I really wanted to do. While we were there I saw on a flyer, my soon to be dog without knowing it, a dog as cute as a baby bunny. It turns out, I was not old enough to walk the dogs, which was like emotionally being hit by a truck. I had to just walk while my mom walked the dogs, which was okay. My mom got more involved with the rescue, and one day while I was at school she was washing dogs, and the dog from the flyer was scared and ducked…

    My first initial thought of her at first glance was that she is the most beautiful individual on the face of this planet. Once I was given the ability to fully observe her in her ever so captivating glow, I instantly knew what it meant to feel unconditional love. I began to feel a sense of ownership as I wanted to do anything in the world for her and to protect her by any means necessary. It was truly a remarkable and wondrous cognizance in which I experienced that faithful day. She gazed up at me as she wrapped her whole tiny hand around my pointer finger. I tell her I love her gently as I have never meant anything so much in my life. As we hold one another, I start to contemplate different aspects of my life. At this point, I then decided that my child is what really matters to me now and that I need to be the parent that she deserves. Never have I had another person to care for or take care…

    In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein there are a lot of examples of how she is warning the readers about the perils of modern science. One of the biggest examples is the creator of Frankenstein, and Frankenstein himself. The fact that someone was taking the role of “god”, and trying to create life is a very scary factor in life. If someone of our kind can gain the power to create their own human life from machines, science, and electricity then they could have the ultimate power. Power is something that all human kind wants to achieve, but also fear. Power goes along with the perils of modern science, which Mary Shelley warns the readers about.…

    There is one person in my life though. If there is anyone who could be “that special someone”, it’s her. She’s beautiful. Despite never talking to her, our eyes have met many times and it’s love at first sight. I just wish I could gather up the courage to finally talk to her. It has been a while since I’ve approached a woman without being slapped or ran away from. In fact, it has been a while since I have approached anyone. Any social interaction with the world feels awkward and scary because it has been so long. The only interaction I have with the outside world is through the local children who torment me each day.…
