Journal #1 Frankenstein
The book I am reading is called Frankenstein and I haven’t got far in the book but I already know a few characters. The book starts off with a captain named Robert Walton and he and his crew was on a journey to the North Pole and they came across a man In the snow and his name was Victor Frankenstein. When I start reading the book I thought Frankenstein was the monster but Frankenstein is Victor’s last name and he made the monster.

Robert Walton brought Victor unto his ship and nursed him back to health and once Victor had enough strength to talk he was telling Robert what he was doing out here and how the whole thing started. Victor started his story from the beginning when he was a little boy. His father had a best friend named Beaufort and he had a daughter named Caroline. Beaufort gets sick and dies and Caroline is left all alone so Victor’s father takes Caroline in and Victor’s father and her gets married and had Victor.

Victor’s father has a sister and she had died and wanted Victor’s father to take care of her daugther Elizabeth. Caroline believed that Victor and Elizabeth was going to be married one day. Caroline had gotten real sick and died, so Elizabeth was like the woman of the house now. Victor had a younger brother named William and he had a best friend named Henry. Victor went off to Ingolstadt for school to study natural philosophy and he wanted to see if he could bring life to unmoving objects.

The book is different from what I thought it was about I thought Frankenstein was the monster. Its different from the Frankenstein that be on t.v. and I never seen the part where the captain was sailing to the north pole and didn’t know about all the other characters in the story.
