Thoughts Before Reading Frankenstein

Frankenstein, every children's nightmare, was wrote by a girl. If you go out and ask people who you think wrote the story you would think it was actually a guy. I personally never knew that the story was written by a girl, let alone at the age of 19. That's only a few years older than me.

Mary Shelley wrote this story in a time period when girls really didn't get to do anything, or weren't expected to do anything. The world was still in the time period where guys did everything. She had to have a lot of courage to stand up and write a story of that magnitude, and not get criticized. To write a novel at that age, she had to of been a very intelligent person.

Can man create life?

I feel like with the write calculations, and the write information, a man could create another life form. But if it had feelings, and emotions would be very hard to create, because everyone is extremely different in a lot of ways, and to create an original person would be very hard to do.

  1. Dear Phillip,
    I agree that it would be difficult to create emotions and an individual person, do you think that if someone did create life... Would it be right?

  2. It would probably be totally wrong, for the simple fact that you would have to be God to create a good original person.
