Last Week

Hey everyone,
Last week was one crazy week and I forgot to post on my blog so I will make it up this week with a post about last week and this week. Last week we read a few poems from Lord Byron for our Romanticism. My favorite poem of his that I read was "When We Two Parted." I thought this poem was so romantic in the way he wrote it because you can tell that he cared a lot about the woman he was talking about. I think that he wrote this poem right after the love of his life died and he was very upset that he had lost her. I think that he really feels lost without her there and he doesn't know what he is going to do without her there.
For this week we read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I have read this book before and I loved it both times that I have read it. I thought that our discussion topics for this week were really interesting. I think that Victor Frankenstein's upbringing and his childhood were a good thing to discuss because they have a lot to do with his storytelling and the way the story unfolds around him.
