Frankenstein

This would be the second time I have read Frankenstein and I would have to say it is not one of my favorite books to say the least.  For one, I don't understand why Victor had to make the creature so hideous and strong. Wouldn't he realize that it would not be a good idea to do this?  Also, I don't know why Victor would not make a companion for the monster, didn't he know that the monster would kill more of his friends and family if he didn't?  I think the consequences of making another monster would not have been as bad as Victor thought they would be.

Paper

I am writing my paper relating to World War Two and the atomic bombs dropped on Japan.  This relates directly to chapter 17 of The Prince.  The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki may have been cruel, but in the long run it saved many American and Japanese lives.  Truman brought peace to the United States through fear of another attack.  This follows the idea that it is better to be feared than to be loved.  

And The Band Played On

The movie and the Band Played on Was a very interesting movie.  It shows how people in the government reacted to one of the most deadly viruses, AIDS.  I think it is very interesting how the government will not release information about a virus that big until it is already too late.  It is disturbing how long they waited before telling the general public about AIDS.  Almost makes you feel that their job is more important than the life of a human being.  I wonder what other things the government has done this with.  Maybe half of our wars didnt start for the reasons we think they did.
