One way Frankenstein has changed is in the beginning of the novel he was a mad scientist, meaning he loved to create things and he would try to bring the dead to life. He tried and tried to create life and finally one day he did. At first he was proud of the creation, he did what no other mankind could. He was told that only God could create life and that is true but he proved it wrong. In this part, he was proud of the monster he created and did what no one else could.
Another way Frankenstein has changed is that after creating his monster he started to regret it. The monster killed the people that Frankenstein loved. The monster became lugubrious and wanted Frankenstein to create him a woman companion, someone for him to love. Frankenstein refused and ever since the monster made his life hard and he started to regret the monster. So now Frankenstein has changed by regret.
Frankenstein changed in two ways by proudness and by regret. He was proud of making the monster but afterwards he was ashamed by regret because he knew he created danger.

Responbility
When you live, it's not going to be forever. You have to take on many responsibilitys and make choices that could change your life. It even tends to the cost of life and the zeal to survive. But nobody said that living life would be easy. So what is the responsibility? To me, its just going all the way in life and not looking back.
For example, in the Titanic, there are many roles of responbility that people have to take. Especially the captin of the this ship. He had to make sure everyone on board were safe and make it to where they were going. The captin failed to do this responbility and therefore he lost his life. The captin also said things that could have made karma come back. He said that the ship was unsinkable and God could not sink even sink it.
In The Call of the Wild, it is Bucks responbility to make sure that every dog is safe. Since Buck is the leader, the Alpha dog, he takes on a lot of responbility. It's also his responbility to keep John Thorton alive. He owes him his life.
Having responbility is a lot harder than people think. You have to keep up with things that could eventually drive someone crazy because of everything that have to handle. I do not like taking responbility but that's just me. People make choices to reflect that and sometimes it's not good.

Would I Create Life Like Frankenstein?
Would I? No, because I would not want to make anything that could turn out evil and take over everything. I would make something good but it could have a mind of it's own and turn out bad, and that would not be a good thing. Frankenstein's monster came out to be scary looking and didn't look like a normal human being and it got destroyed.
I couldn't create life then have it destroyed like Frankensteins monster did. Knowing that you made your dream and put all of your patience and effort into that then have destroyed must have been devastating.
Another reason why I couldn't create life is because it could turn out evil. I'm not saying that I would make anything bad, it's just you never know what could happen anything could go wrong. I would want others to see my creation and learn about it and me teach it things that are in the world today.
So, if I could create life would I? The answer is no. Things that I've said above are the reasons why I would not create life. Having my creation destroyed and it turning out bad. Even though letting others know about it would be a great thing, I still think it's to risky and therefore I could not do it.

Frankenstein
I've never really actually read Frankenstein but I have heard things about him. I know he's a doctor that created a monster, but it got destroyed. Frankenstein achieved his goal by making this monster. I'm excited about reading this book, and I hope I can learn a lot more better about him.
It shocked me knowing a woman wrote this book. I always thought a man did but she was a woman and she was 19. She did a great job on her part of that because it doesn't seem like a woman would of wrote this story.
Man creating life is possible because Frankenstein created a monster and with today's technology life can be created by man.

Success 2012 Theme Word
The word I picked for 2012 is success. I want to be successful in everyday life and make a good future for myself. I have goals and I want to reach them and being successful is something I have to be to do that. This year I want to be more successful than I ever have been. I chose this word because success is what I want to make happen in my life.
My goals are to graduate high school and go to college to become a hair stylist. I want to be able to success as a good hair dresser so maybe one day I can open up my own hair salon. Reaching goals is very important and everyone should have a goal or two.

Antonia
Willa Cather in her novel My Antonia (yes, a signal phrase) offers her view of life during the pioneer time.
How would My Ántonia be different if it were told from Ántonia's perspective?
We would know another side of Antonia of how she's feeling, thinking and everything.
How effective is Cather, a woman, at narrating a story from the point of view of a man? Does Jim sound like a man writing, or does the narrative sound like a woman pretending to be a man?
It sounds like a man writing.
Why do you think Jim changed the title from Antonia to My Antonia?
Because he was in love with Antonia in the novel.
Based on this, I reccommand this novel to anyone.

The Effects of Setting
Author Willa Cather embedded literary devices, such as metaphors, similes, and personification, within her writing.
"As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea. The red of the grass made all the great prairie the colour of wine-stains, or of certain seaweeds when they are first washed up. And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running."
"The grave, with its tall red grass that was never mowed, was like a little island."
"Winter comes down savagely over a little town on the prairie. The wind that sweeps in from the open country strips away all the leafy screens that hide one yard from another in summer, and the houses seem to draw closer together. The roofs, that looked so far away across the green treetops, now stare you in the face, and they are so much uglier than when their angles were softened by vines and shrubs.
The effects with the characters with the land is they see it as of what they're feeling.
The city of Batesville is a setting that has an effect on me. At night, when everything has lighted up in town, it looks amazingly beautiful. The Christmas lights that they lit up at the park makes it go great with everything else. During the winter when its snows, there's a pretty blanket that covers all of the city, making as if the trees are sparkly. In the summer time, boats are out at the sand bar. Trucks are parked beside each other and people are out in the river enjoying the coolness of the water, splashing them in the face or just going swimming.
