Summary of Chapters 20-24

     Victor starts creating the she-monster, but after some time making it, he realizes that it isn't a good idea to do so. Maybe since the she-monster might not cooperate with the he-monster and then she might go on a killing rampage or something. He decides to stop working on her and instead dumps the half-finished remains in the ocean. The he-monster swears to have revenge on Victor for breaking his vow. After dumping the she-monster in the ocean, Victor comes back to a village that starts accusing him of murder that he didn't commit.      Henry was dead, killed by the he-monster. Victor proceeds to get sick and winds up in prison. While in prison, his father comes to see Victor and they talk some. After some time, the court finds Victor innocent so they release him. Victor can now finally go to Geneva.      On his way, Victor stops in Paris to rest a little. He received a letter from Elizabeth who thought that Victor was in love with someone else, which of course wasn'

An Unusual day at John Adams Academy.

          It was a regular, boring Monday morning when I came to school. We all did the flag ceremony and walked to our first period classes; mine was Spanish 2. I was working hard on the classwork assignment that I was assigned when suddenly, there was a phone call. It was from the office, saying that I had forgotten to pick up my shadow buddy.           Nervously, I walked down to the office, completely confused about all of this since I didn't remember anyone telling my anything about my having a shadow buddy. When I arrived at the office, my gaze shifted to a person sitting near the corner of the room. He was tall, with some squared shoulders. His head and face were mostly covered by his hood but I could still make out his rugged jaw.           Mr. Steve came to me and introduced me to the man, saying that his name was Frankenstein.           "Frankenstein, as in the book?" I asked Mr. Steve. He gave me a confused look.           "Nevermind," I mumbled a

Question: What will happen next?

           I stopped on Chapter 17, where the monster finishes telling Victor his incredibly interesting story about how he did after he left Victor. After Frankenstein tells his story, he asks Victor if Victor would be able to make a she-monster to give the he-monster some company. Why he would ask that after he tells Victor that he had killed William, I don't know, but the monster was pretty convincing. All the faith the monster had had had had some effect on Victor. After some convincing talk and telling Victor that the monster won't bother him if Victor creates a she-monster, Victor finally agrees.            I think what will happen next in the book since Victor has told the monster that he will make a she-monster, he will probably finish making her. If not, the monster will probably seek to kill Victor and all his loved ones, like he did to William. But, what if Victor will create a she-monster, and since she has free will, she will go on a killing spree. Anyway's

August 20, 1789 Dear Jounal,           It came to me as a surprise when I found out that my brother had been murdered. According to my father, he had been choked to death. Who would be so cruel as to do this thing to an innocent person like William? It has been a while, maybe two years, since the time I have seen my creation, the monster. I know of no one else who would have done this to my little William. August 22, 1789           When I had arrived to my father's city, the gates were closed and there was no way for me to get inside. I waited the night out, during which I saw my monster who quickly fled. It must have been him who had murdered Will. The next day, Justine was accused for killing William, even though she didn't kill him. I still can't believed that Justine confessed to killing William; why lie? The following day, she was hung. So far, my monster had killed two innocent people. How could he do this? I am currently broken and don't know

Should Victor Frankenstein have created "the monster"? Why or why not?

Since the beginning, Victor Frankenstein was the only child of his family for about 5 years, that is, until the Frankenstein family adopts Elizabeth. Elizabeth is about Victor's age so they both get along well together. Victor Frankenstein's mother dies from scarlet fever, so only Victor and Elizabeth are left of their family. Victory decides he should go and study at the University of Ingolstadt. Victor is lonely there, but he studies anatomy and decides to make a being come to life out of parts of corpses. Somehow, someway, the creature that Victor created comes to life and scares Victor, so Victor spent the night in the courtyard. Next day, he bumped into an old friend who gave him letters from Elizabeth. There could have been many factors that had influenced Victor Frankenstein to have created "the monster." One of those reasons could have been that Victor was lonely and wanted some company. Another reason is that Victor was just curious; maybe he could have bro
