Future


I don’t really know what to expect for the future. I have a feeling that were going to repeat our selves or destroy our selves. There was a huge event where teens were eating tide pods because of the Internet. This makes me fear for the future because of how malleable the younger generation is. I feel that the future is going to be like black mirror, where we have great advances in technology, but the people haven’t really evolved with it so we just make the same mistakes.

They have done what every character in the book has done and views Frankenstein’s monster as a disfigured being and took him for face value, a monster with no thought process that only demonstrates rage and destruction.             It is true in the beginning Frankenstein’s monster from a outsiders point of view is a monster causing destruction however, you later learn th...
