The Fifth Child Book Covers

I chose the second one, because it shows the truth inside of the book as well. It looks like the sceene described when Ben is sitting on his bed, and hiding from Harriet. He is crouched on the bed hissing in anger. So this show's what will be happening later in the book. It also shows that he is an outcast sitting alone with no one to help him. So all the people outside, are societies views against him. It also looks like the face of a monster, or the evil inside of him. The hatred that he has for all man kind and the hatred that he has when he is sent away. Especially when he gets back, and David tries to approach him he will hiss and try to bite David. So all of this togethe rsums up the book cover, and that is when i chose it.

Reaction to News Article.

Many ideas and opinions have come up about Mary Shelley's story, "Frankenstein".

Many times writers write about things tghat have happened in their lives, and Mary Shelley wasn't writing an autobiography but she took some things, that happened in her life and used them as a fuel to write her horrific novel. Stephen Witty brings this up in his new article,by saying that there is a little bit suffering, loss, and being ostracized. As he said, there is a little bit of monster in everyone.

I agree with him because everyone, has something bad happen to them in life that changes them forever. He says that everyone feels sorry for the monster as well, and we all do. We feel bad for him because he is rejected all the time, no one accepts him and he did not ask to be brought into life. So while he is trying to make friends no one wants to be with you, and the one child you think that wont be against you is, and is your mortal enemies brother. So you are forced to kill him. He has no choice in what he does, everything is forced opon him which I think is completely unfair. When this writer talks about Mary Shelley I think he is right because, she makes you feel sympathy for the characters in her books, out of stuff that has happened in her life.

Frankenstein's Reaction.

My rection to Frankenstein so far is very diffrent, compared to what I have seen in the movies, It isn't as dramatic as I thought it would be. Especially in the "birthing" scene, when as in the movies it is slamming and banging, and screaming. But in the book as if someone is waking up, from sleeping. "His jaws opened, and he mutteredsome inarticulate sounds, while a grin wrinkled cheeks." (Shelley pg.44)
