My Reading Journal 2 Team L 林孟萱

In this two week I finished my first book "Frankenstein" which I have simply introduced last time. And I start to reading another book named "The Secret Garden". This time I would like to talk about what my feelings are after I read "Frankenstein". Next time when I finish "The Secret Garden", I will share something about it.

At the moment I finished reading the book, "Frankenstein", I really felt sorrowful and miserable about what are described in the novel. Victor Frankenstein is a young and intelligent scientist, who at beginning thought he found the secret of life and then created a "new man" by taking parts from dead people and piecing them together. But after Victor did finish his "work" and made it alive, he was filled with fear at what he had done and escaped from the creature he made. As a creator, just like a father or a leader to the creature, Victor didn't do any thing for it, except gave it life. I think that is an irresponsible behavior. The creature is like huge baby who need someone to give him love. He tried hard by himself to learn every thing to being a human and helped people if he could. But people hurt him again and again just because he looked frightening. I think it is very unfair to judge a man/woman just according how he/she looks. Although people always like beautiful things, the appearance can not represent what a man/woman is. The creature became very disappointed and began hating human especially his creator. Then he started to kill people in order to make his creator painful, but he also felt disheartening. Victor became more and more distressed when his beloved families and friend died, so he also hated the creature he made. In the end of the story, Victor and the creature who didn't have a name both paid much for those, and they died for it. I think if everyone could consider in others' place, then many things will not go so miserable. More than that maybe the world will be more wonderful.
