Frankenstein. Dialogues, and Films

For espanol, I had an exam on Chapter 1 on Monday and had to create a dialogue with a partner for our test next Tuesday.

For Victorian Lit, My professor had his knee replaced on Monday, so we watched a documentary on Frankenstein and Mary Shelley called Nightmare: The Birth of Victorian Horror on Tuesday. It was interesting to learn Shelley had three distinct dreams which led her to write the story and she named the novel after a castle she stayed at once. Then we discussed the book Frankenstein on Thursday with his daughter who is also a teacher.

I also read Eyes of A Stranger by Rachel Ann Nunes about twins who were separated at birth, and As Always Dave by Jack Weyland about a New York singles ward.

I went to the library to do some research on Branwell Bronte, but they didn't have any books on him or any of his writing and their computer database wasn't working, which was frustrating.
