Part 3 of My Journey

Okay we just finished our Hebrew Lit. part of class and it was interesting. Before that we read Gilgamesh and I liked it better than the Hebrew stories. I liked the fighting in Gilgamesh and in the Hebrew stories there isn't much of that. And some of the stories are similar in both the Hebrew lit. and the Epic of Gilgamesh. Like both had a story about how there's a flood that kills everyone except those who were told to build a boat.

My independent reading this week has gotten interesting. I started on page 48 and read to page 62 which was 14 pages. I also just reached chapter 6 which to me is a big deal considering the problem I have been having reading the book. In this section I read Doctor Frankenstein was changing some of his habits. All he did was focus on his work, day and night. Finally the night came and his creation lived. But he ran from it and it followed.

I will admit I was expecting it to be more dramatic like in the movies. When the Doctor yells, “It’s Alive!!" And there to be thunder and lighting, which there really wasn't. It was stormy though and raining hard. And I had always thought the Doctor loved his creation, but it seems from what has happened he doesn’t. I can't wait to see what happens next. Will the Doctor come to love his creation or will he dispose of it?




Frakenstein Part 2

  To begin my blog today I would first like to share something. I didn't not commplete my blog friday or saterday because I wanted to wait and see if I could get more reading done at the Speech Team District contest at Perry. I did get some more reading done, but when waiting for the results to see if your group made it to state was nerve racking. The T.V news did not make it, but radio did. So my group and I will be in state. It was wonderful and exciting to see hear and then see the 1 rating on the paper.
  In Gilgamesh the people to me are similar to people of the present time. We all have fears and believe in certian things. The people in Gilgamesh were also ones who believed in the gods like the sun and moon gods. Now a days there's only one or two gods in most religions. I also believe that those people were not as selfess as people are today. Now of course there were some that were, but after reading the story and how Gilgamesh planned to share the plant that can give immortality it just shows that people can change. In todays world I believe it's harder to change because of everything that todays world has, but it is possible.

  For my indepentant reading the reading has gotten a little better, but it's still kind of a pain. I do plan to finish it though because I'm a big fan of all things supernatural. I started this weeks reading on page 35 and read to page 48 which is 13 pages which is more than last week. I maybe makeing slow progress, but it's progress and the way it's written is as I said before is a little hard to read. So far Frankenstein has talked about his mothers death and how she wished to see him and Elizabeth get married. Then he goes af to what I think is college and studies science. Which dosen't surprise me since it takes science to make the monster. I can't wait to see what happens next. I just hope that it gets to the good stuff soon.

I picked this image again because the blogger insert image thing wasn't allowing me to add images from anywhere except ones already on my blog or one i had as my back ground.

Frankenstein…My First Impressions

feedbooks.com

   Okay I would like to start this blog out by introducing myself so those of you who are from our sister class know a little about me and why I may do somethings in my blog. My name is Haley Masker and I'm looking forward to the end of the school year because then I won't have to go to high school anymore. I love anything to do with the supernatural from books to movies. I love reading fantasies, horrors, and romances and the same goes for movies. I also write stories and poems that tend to be dark and hardly go with out a gory scene. I plan to attend college and get a bachelor's degree in creative writing and sculpture. I want to become a world famous author and be able to get things that I can not have now.
 
The book I chose was Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I chose this book because I love horror and I hear it's a classic. If Dracula was on here I would have choose that, I'm a big fan of him. I also chose this book because I thought it would be interesting. It is an interesting book if I could just get past the beginning. I'm on page 35, but I haven't read that much. The first chapter doesn't start until page 26, so I've only read 10 pages.
 
   That alone took me awhile to read because of the way the book is written. There have been times when I had to read something 2 to 3 times just to make sure I understood it. There are some big words in here that I don't know plus some Italian, so it's kind of hard to keep up. So far the narrater is Victor, which I'm assuming is Doctor Frankenstein and he is telling the story. He has told how his parents met and how he met a girl who I think becomes his wife but I'm not sure yet. He has talked about her and his friend and his childhood other that that nothing else has happened. I really hope something excited happens soon. I want to get to the part where he makes the monster. That most likely won't so up until chapter 15 or something. I am looking forward to how it ends though and i plan to read more this weekend.

My Reasons

       Since eighth grade I have known what I wanted to do with my life. I want to become a famous author, an author so famous that everyone fights over my last copy at the store. To get to that point I made the decision of going to college. I chose to take World Lit. to help me be the best I can be in college. I heard great things about the class and I love english so much I thought it would be fun to take. I love english so much I'm taking three english class this semester. I also thought it would be a great experience to have. I also love to read so I thought taking this class would be a great fit. The book that started my love for reading was The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. I'm looking forward to what this class will help me reach my goals.
