Best Friends! Yay!

Well, to start off, Wyatt had short-ish blond hair and stands about 5' 8" or so. (yes, Wyatt, 5' 8". I'm 5' 7 1/2".) Her clothes are different than what most people wear but still totally awesome. She's sort of spontaneous and sometimes yells things that shouldn't be yelled. Wyatt spend a lot of her time (or so I'm guessing) drawing. She is amazing at art and very often makes me jealous. But then, pretty much anyone that can draw makes me jealous. Sewing is another thing she does very well. Last year she made her Halloween costume and it was beautiful. I wonder what she's making this year. . . .

Wyatt is creative, thus the amazing art and everything else. She is most defiantly not an egoist, she is not greedy or selfish. She's more of an extrovert if anything. A lot of things she says can be TMI. Wyatt is friendly and nice and beautiful and just over all wonderful. She's patient and helpful. She is the bestest friend anyone could ask for.

(please don't kill me Wyatt.)

Point of view: early memory.

ok, my memory sucks past a certain point so here we go.

when I was really little, I had the fear most kids did: being sucked down the bathtub drain. I was terrified. So one night I had a dream - nightmare actually - where I was sucked down the bathtub drain. I woke up with a start right as I started going down into that endless black hole, and went downstairs with my teddy bear to spend the rest of the night in my parent's bed.

Then the next evening at dinner, my dad asked me what my bad dream was about. I do not remember my reply, or if I even gave one, but my dad started asking if there were certain animals in my dream. I was like, wait a minute, and, looking down at my shirt, realized he was just saying all the zoo animals that were across my shirt. I got exceptionally mad at him for not taking my fear of being sucked down the bathtub drain seriously.

Frankenstein, Motif

The main literary element of Frankenstein is the motifs monstrocity and secrecy. Not only is the monster Victor created a monster, but so is Victor himself. The monster kills people, but Victor tells no one the truth of who did it. He let Justine be condemed for the murder of his brother William, but though he feels guilty, he does not take the blame for it.

Victor Frankestein does not tell anyone about his obsession with creating life or his killing monster. The moster also keeps his existance a secret, not telling the DeLacy's that he spent many months in their abandoned pig sty.

The author, in my opinion, uses motifs so strongly is to connect Victor to the monster he wants no business with.
