Wow! A book with 279 SAT words!....I don't care.



1886, there was a mercyful and intelligent man Dr.Jekyll invented a drink as he thought it was possible to divide a person in to two. The good part and the bad part.... So Dr. Jekyll is divided into Dr.Jekyll himself and Mr.Hyde. Hyde commits lots of crimes. Murder, robbery and so on. When Dr.Jekyll tried to change in to Hyde, it was easy. However, about 5 months later, Dr.Jekyll himself was becoming Mr.Hyde. Eventhough he did not tried to become Hyde, he became Hyde. One day he decided to tell the truth. While he was being chased by polices, he went in to his laboratory and committed suicide. On his will, there was the real story of him. Hyde and Jekyll.


If i tell the truth, I thought Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were different people before I read this book.... How foolish am I....!@!@!@!@!@!@

Frankenstein





Title: Frankenstein
Author: Mary Shelley

This book was quite scary but still an interesting book. I thought the Frankenstein was the name of the creature which was created by Dr. Stein. However, the doctor himself was Frankenstein.

I actually remember the whole out line of the story.

There was a man with a sledge on Antarctica. The explorers found him and the man's story began. I think this was the start of the story.

A "creature" was created by Frankenstein. One day, the creature escaped from Frankenstein's laboratory. However, the creature was a good polite and kind creature. However, people regarded it as a monster who eats up humans. One day, there was a poor family with a blind man. 2 or 3 daughters of the man served him. When the daughters went out, the creature delivered what he gained by working. He gave them money, wood, and food secretly. One day, when the 2 daughters were not at home, the creature went in to the house to meet the blind man. While they were talking, the daughters came and chased the creature. As he felt abandoned and left out, it burned the house. During it's journey, it meets Frankenstein's relative. He was a young boy who loved Frankenstein. The creature hated Frankenstein and killed the boy. When Frankenstein and the creature meet each other again, the creature requested it's creator to create another creature, a woman creature. Frankenstein achieve it almost but stopped just before the creature created. The creature kills franken's whole family. After that Franken chases the creature. On antartica, he meets a group of people and tells his story and finally die.

The creature do not have name. I think the author did not gave the creature it's name. I think this was one way to show the loneiness of the creature.
