Excercise V. Mary Shelley's Interjections

Such were the professors words, rather let me say such the words of the fate enounced to destroy me. As he went on, I felt as if my soul were grappling with a palpable enemy. One by one the various keys were touched which formed the mechanism of my being. Chord after chord was sounded, and soon my mind was filled with one thought, one conception, one purpose. "So much has been done"; exclaimed the soul of Frankenstein. More far more will I achieve treading in the steps already marked. I will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation.

Excercise V. Mary Shelley's Interjections

I closed not my eyes that night, my internal being was in a state of insurrection and turmoil. I felt that order would thence arise, but I had no power to produce it by degrees. After the mornings dawn sleep came. I awoke and my yester nights thoughts were as a dream. There only remained a resolution to return to my ancient studies, and to devote myself to a science for which I believed myself to possess a natural talent.

Mr. Crandall,

Just wanted to give you an idea for your next class blog entries. Try having a question of the week, this might make it easier for some students. Sometimes its easier to write about a set theme vs. nothing at all.

When Is It Due?

Can the research papers be due on the last day? I'm stressed about the debate and I am over researching structure. If I knew we were going to implement debate in an English class...I would have armed myself with the fundamentals before having to do the assignment. A bit confusing! Can we divide our focus & efforts into two weeks instead of one? I think this will be very useful.

For those who are learning on doing their research paper...kudos! I want to learn to...but I don't know if I can over this speech anxiety I'm building up right now. It is really tough for those of us who actually have this problem. If one can psychologically prepare for this endeavor...we should at least meditate on it...instead of having the burden of writing a 7page research paper + bibliography looming over our heads. I don't know about anybody else...but the rewards I'd like to reap from this experience is a well balanced mind.

I would definitely be much more comfortable this way...does anybody else agree?

Not for nothing...I don't want to elude anybody into thinking that I have not been doing my homework, because I have. With the exception of Thursday and Friday, where I have been duly obtained to participate in the obligatory job interview, time is not on my side between the impediments of scholastic fantasy vs. life’s reality.
