My author wrote Frankenstein. In this book she uses First Person, i can tell this is first person because she uses words like "I" and "my". She also uses Flowery Description an example of this is "One of the most intimate friends was a merchant, who, from a flourishing state, fell, through numerous mischances, into poverty." This is very descriptive and extended, this makes it flowery descriptive. She uses realistic dialogue, which means that the characters talk like real people. She uses a form of chronilogical order. The story is told to Captain Walton to his sister from Frankenstein. At one point the story is told from the monster to Victor to Walton to Waltons sister. The genre of this story is science fiction, Mary Shelley used elements of "magic" and creation. The theme of the story is "mankind shouldn't mess with the natural order of the earth." I like this theme because it is something people do far too often and need to learn to not do.
    I think that the style that my author used was a bit "dry". At the time this style was very popular and everyone read it. I enjoyed the author's themes of feminism in the story, she killed off all of the weak women. I think she should have added more scenes where the monster was around and included the monster more and Victor less. The style didnt really fit with the genre and plot of the story because it was a scary plot and the style was slow paced and boring.

this was a great explanation of Mary Shelly. this makes me want to check out some of her books and see what they have to offer.:}. also this kind of makes me want to read Frankenstein even though i have already seen the movie.

Don't you think you should have posted that on the movie blog entry? And i think it depends on why they didn't enhoy the movie.
