Foreshadow

Dear Mom, 
   It's great that you are so good of a mother! You will be an even greater grandmother! I like how you never let me down and always cheered me up! You are great with all of the younger family members like my cousins' kids! I have seen all the pictures of you with Aunt Chrissy's kids and you are very good in taking care of them. I will take lots of pictures of my kids and pictures of you with them! I hope that you will be willing to help me when I have a child of my own. Honestly, I want you to know something... I'm pregnant. Just kidding but I will be having a child with my wife so I want you to help us okay? Love you mom!
                          - Love, 
                             Joseph

Gothic Literature Element

I believe that Supernatural is the most effective element in the Gothic Literature in Frankenstein. I believe that the story is based on this supernatural being that was created by a man who does not understand his own works. The biggest supernatural event is definitely when the monster comes to life. Victor does not know what he created and assumes it as a terrible monster. Creating life from nothing is the event that forms the base of the story and if this would not have happened then the story would lose a major character that affects every aspect of the story. If the monster had not been brought to life then Victor, the main character, would have possibly gone into a depression and withdrew from his family even more. The story would take a short turn and there would be a loss of interest.

Frankenstein Opening and My Ghost Story

Mary Shelly opened Frankenstein with four letters from Robert Walton, a sailor in the Atlantic, to his beloved sister back home in England. He told about life on the sea and in the fourth letter there was an interesting turn. Walton met a stranger who was looking for someone that had left him, and may have been seen by Walton and his crew the night before. This was intriguing to me as a reader and had made me interested in what would continue on and happen in the story. If I were writing a ghost story then I would start the story with an event before the actual story that would foreshadow what will happen or I would have an after story to make the readers interested in what will happen of what had happened.

Spring Break

Over Spring Break I hope to have as much fun as possible at Kalahari. I also hope that K-Cream Corner, where I work, has a great opening week this season as I will most likely be working over break. Going to Kalahari this weekend will be the first time that I have stayed there over-night. It will also be the first time, since my father took my cousins, friends, and myself, along with my mother, to Great Bear Lodge, when I was younger, that I have stayed at an indoor-waterpark. My mom is very excited to go and spend time with me and her friends. I hope to enjoy it. Also, I want to be able to work after I have had my fun on my vacation! I want to remember all of the things that I need to for my job, and I want many more people to be able to enjoy themselves at K-Cream with family and friends.

Superpower

If I had to choose between the ability to fly and the ability to turn invisible, I would want to be able to turn invisible. If I needed to not be seen by someone, or get out of a situation where people were trying to harm me, then I would be able to become unseen and escape. I would also be able to play basketball very well and become very good. I would also have my friend Victor, who would have the ability to fly and he would grab my arm and make me fly, I would do the same and make him invisible. Being invisible would be very fun, I would play pranks on my friends and family because I like to prank people. That is why I would want to be able to turn invisible.
