Tuesday April 25th and Block Days April 26th and 27th

Tuesday the Outside Reading was turned in ... uploaded the night before.

We discussed Frankenstein as a NESTED NARRATIVE/FRAMED NARRATIVE ... a story within a story within a story

We discussed the  book as an analogy to GOD/ADAM and Creation as well as a "feminist feat" as it may parallel the author's loss of her mother at a young age (the role of the female figure in the family/lack of her presence in novel). We mentioned the "modern Prometheus Myth" analogy as well.

We discussed ROMANTICISM and ROMANTIC QUEST
We found the passage in the text that explains Walton's Quest

BLOCK DAY:
Papers Returned
Discussion of Victor's childhood, Elizabeth's arrival in the family home, and Victor's romantic quest
Discussion of Creature .... creation and physical presence
