Frankenstein- Author’s Craft – Quarter 3
29 01 2010“I devoted all my time of to my work. My cheeks grew pale from spending too much time inside, and my body grew thin because I wasn’t eating enough.” It was a sentence that described how hard Frankenstein work for his first experiment. It’s already remind me of my 2009 summer, I was so deep in love with movies so i watched everyday, every single hours, my eyes stuck in the scene, until i realized that it had been 1 month starring my eyes to the laptop so i decided to stop and I found out i lose 3 kg and I’m started to getting sick after that.
I like the way this author written the story because he really showed me what’s going on in the story, not telling me. He gave me the feeling like I was there, right inside the story, right the time that Frankenstein told this story. I felt really want to be like Frankenstein, he’s like genius and he can make his own design. The imagery that the author left in my mind is when Frankenstein chasing the Monster everywhere after the Monster killed all people that he loved. Frankenstein never thinking at to giving up anything. Although he know that chasing the Monster will make nothing change again but he still want to chase the Monster and kill him.
“My teeth started to chatter. My legs felt weak. I leaned on a tree for support and tried to take a deep breathe.” I can see that Frankenstein is out of his power by chasing the monster but he still not quit and keep chasing him. Also i can feel that Frankenstein is in a pain. He’s out of his energy, his body getting weak but he still try to chasing and kill the Monster. Although through is statement, it’s show that the author is very described and he focus on the main topic and slow spread it out, he put his feeling into the story so he make the reader feel realistic.
There is one dialogue when the Monster and Frankenstein talked. Through this conversation between the 2 men, it show that the monster is not a bad guy, he just hate Frankenstein because he brought him to this world with an ugly look and everyone in this world scared of the him. He doesn’t mean to harm Frankenstein. Although he is a monster but the way he talk jut exactly like a human. ” People were shocked and scared. They screamed and ran away at the sight of me. Some even hit me with the sticks and stones because they were afraid. That was nothing i could do except run away and hide.” When i read this part, i can felt his feeling, i can feeling his painful. He used the word that described himself and the people that saw him. He expressed all his feeling through every single words that he said.
