Frankenstein Personal Response

Frankenstein Personal Response
1.) Initially, my first impression of this excerpt was unique. I felt as though I have read similar situations in other novels, however, the author describes
the environment unlike any other. First, I wondered what the aliens were planning, and what effect it would have on humanity. Similarly, the characters
in the book behaved the same way, some trying to communicate with the aliens, and others just wondering about them. It felt as though we were all
moths flying around a bug–zapper, too mystified to realize the immediate danger posed by the aliens. Only when it was too late, did the main character
break out of his trance and escape.
2.) The genre of this selection is science–fiction, however, the excerpt I read could be classified as a short–story....show more content...
First, the author provides exposition, seen in the first three paragraphs. Second, rising action occurs as the main character watches as a strange flame
emerges in the alien craft. After this, the climax transpires, and the surrounding pedestrians are engulfed in this strange flame. Unwinding, the falling
action ensues, as the main character watches in bewilderment as the alien ship destroys everything besides him. Concluding, the denouement befalls, as
the main character finally flees.
4.) During this excerpt, the protagonist's name is unknown, however, he is the character in which the story is told. Opposing him, is this strange alien
craft which is the antagonist.
5.) The most important traits of the main character are his bravery, curiosity, and humanity. He displays each of these when he approaches the alien
craft, wondering what it is, he asks others around him. Without these three traits, the narrative would be very different, as he likely would have fled
much quickly.
6.) Only one setting in seen in this work. That setting is the heather filled area the main character finds himself in. Other than the heather, the alien craft
stands behind some sand dunes. No other setting is shown in this work, as the main character doesn't describe any other. Although it is made apparent
there are towns nearby, they are not seen in the

1. Discussion of your personal reactions and experiences (thoughts, feelings, behaviors) during the session. I am approaching this journal entry in
hoping I can make sense out of group and my feelings. After last session, I felt angry, misunderstood, disconnected, and untrusting of one of the
leaders. After this session I feel the same, but towards both of the leaders because I felt like the other leader picked up where the first left off. I
have never felt so uncomfortable with a facilitator, leader, or therapist in my 40 years of both group and individual therapy. With that said; I was
impressed when one of the leaders spoke to her point of view and feelings about last week's session openly and honestly. By her doing this, it opened
up empathy and compassion in my heart for her. The other leader continued to humanize both leaders by talking about their group experience together
and tried to bring our group into a realm of reflection about pain and its connection to growth. Each member shared on this topic, even though it
changed frequently, as I sat by and actively listened to each individual share with no intention of sharing anything that would rock the boat because I
am tired of being singled out in the group. Twenty five minutes before the end of the meeting, one of the leaders (the one I don't usually have an issue
with) stated that we were going to talk to Alan now. I shared openly and honestly about the way I felt and shared my gratitude for the other leader's

Personal Response To The Movie The Blind Side
This is a personal response to the film The Blind side.|
The Blind Side is a film based on a true story about a boy named Michael Oher. He comes from a dysfunctional family background, his mother a drug
addict and his father leaving merely weeks after he was born. Michael ends up homeless and with nothing but the clothes on his back, until he is moved
to a new school where he meets the Tuohys. The Tuohyfamily soon discover that he has nowhere to go and takes him into their home, after living
with them for a while the Tuohys become Michael's legal guardians and find that he has a big future within American football. This is due to his large
frame and size. However in order to get scholarships that Michael has been offered he must work hard to get his grades up to standard.
The way Michael was represented in this film was really heart wrenching to me, we see how this young boy who has nothing just takes life as it
comes. Michael is a true example of someone with resilience, we see him gathering up the food left behind after a volleyball match at his school,
he has no home and yet he finds himself somewhere to go every night, he has only the clothes on his back and so he makes sure to wash them
every night. This is a boy who not only has a strong sense of resilience, he also has a determination about him. A will to live as you are supposed to,
no matter how difficult it may be. We are told later in the film by michael of his hardship and rough upbringing when he says "I've

Personal Response Essay: The Leap By Anna Avalon
I find Anna Avalon from "The Leap" the most interesting. The reason I find her more interesting that Walter Mitty is that, I feel I can relate to her
more. Don't get me wrong, I still find Walter Mitty very interesting and I can relate to him as well, especially with all the day dreaming that he
does, however, I feel more linked to Anna Avalon because of the leaps of faith that she takes in the story. I know personally that I have taken a lot
of leaps of faith in my life. For instance, my family has moved to Abbotsford to help the Punjabi Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses here. This took
a great leap of faith on my part, as I was leaving the town I grew up in, leaving the people I knew, and jumping into a new language hoping that I would

PHS Personal Response
As my four years end at PHS I look back on my life as a journey down a road and see PHS as a red right. You encounter a lot of people at a red light,
looking left, right, infront, and behind you, there's few that you want to see, the few you don't want to see, and the lot that doesn't matter if you
see. As everyone tries to go on there way people try to be the best they can, most are passive trying to get on their way, but there's the people that
are slow and aggressive. People that you know are trying to be slow and aggressive on purpose and some that have no clue that there slow or
aggressive. But as all the stuff that happens around the good and the bad you try to focus on a green light. You can always tell who's new and who's
old, with

Personal Response Research Paper
My Personal Response
Microeconomics covers many interesting topics but I was able to find five that truly reflected on things that I go through in my daily life. My first
topic was supply and demand which are the two words that economists use most often. These are also two words that I use often when demanding
items and also supplying them for customers. Another topic that I discussed was the opportunity cost. There are so many things that can be done in
one day but it's always a cost to do one thing over the other. Following that I expressed the struggle of wanting a normal good but only having the funds
for an inferior good. Normal goods are great when you can afford them but they're not always in your budget and you have to settle for an...show more

This is called Opportunity cost. An opportunity cost is the cost of something you give up to get it something else. There is an "opportunity cost for
every trade–off" that you do in life. I have a couple different opportunity cost that I have been through but one of my most important and current
opportunity cost is being a full time student at Prairie View A&M University instead of working a full time job to make money and be able to pay
all of my bills. At this point I am working, however it is not a full time job therefore, I am not receiving the same amount of money that I would be
receiving if I was able to work at a full time job in the customer service field that I am qualified for. Being a full time student is a job in its self and I
have to put it first over going to work to make money that will help pay my bills as this will benefit me in the long run. After I complete college
and obtain a degree in accounting, I will be able work in a large firm working in a higher level of customer service rather than if I were to jump
straight into my field and not have the credentials. I am happy that I'm able to make this opportunity work out to where I can still work and attend
school even though it is hard and I am not receiving my desired pay rate. Overall, being education and acquiring knowledge of many different
subjects will make up for the cost that I am paying now by being in school and not working a full time job. Also, there is always the summer when
I am not a full time student and I am able to work full time. Before knowing what an opportunity cost was, I did not understand that I was always
paying a cost to do anything that I did even tasks as simple as sleeping. Prime example, I could be doing homework instead of going to sleep before it
was done; this is just something that happened last night, and often as a college student. I should have been

Personal Response to Emily Dickinson
"Write a personal response in relation to Dickinson's exploration of theme"
For me, the study of Emily Dickinson's poetry was the most memorable part of poetry this year. The fact that all of Dickinson's poetry is highly
personal and filled with meaning and sentiment adds to the enjoyment of this renowned poets work. Dickinson is a highly elusive poet and we are
given the knowledge of Dickinson's sheltered upbringing but yet still it amazes me the fact that her poems are still around to this day, one of the main
contributing factors to this is down to the fact that her themes are universal and are something everyone can relate to. A poem that's theme I found
quite thought provoking is "There 's a Certain Slant of Light". This poem...show more content...
The appearances seem to be neat but when you look deeply her life seems to be incomplete with the hyphens peppered throughout her work. The
repetition of "and" is a rush of words to try and get her meaning off as quick as possible. There is sensory deprivation throughout the play. She only
feels and hears the funeral, does not see it. This could represent to a bad migrane. Only she knows its there, everyone else is oblivious. The pain is so
great it has aneschetized her senses. Imagery used is aural. Dickinson is suffering from a catastrophic breakdown, and this once again highlights her
madness, the poems predominant theme. Dickinson uses enjanment to create a flowing effect throughout her poetry, which shows she is rushed and
doesn't follow rational poetic techniques, she always ends her poems with either a hyphen or a question mark and this shows great confusion
amongst her poems and once again highlights her frail state of mind. "I felt a funeral in my brain" is one of Dickinson's longest poems at 5 stanzas,
her usual poems consist of 4 stanzas, this once again shows the reader her madness and her deteorating state of mind. The rhyming scheme is ABCB, it
is imperfect rhythm and this is a good beat.
The final poem I would like to look at is " I taste a Liqour never Brewed". The once again universal theme in this poem is Nature. Everyone can
releate to it and this is the mitigating factor as to why Dickinson's

The Most Dangerous Game Personal Response
Imagine you are walking into a library. You pick up a book and start reading the summary. You notice that the character's life is very similar to what
you are experiencing at home, at school, and in your personal life. The character is also similar to you in behavior. What you probably don't know is
that what you are relating is characterization, conflict, and narration. I have experienced this too while I read and because of that I can say that
literature and life are connected through characterization, conflict, and narration because someone else's writing can relate and have an effect on your
own life.
The conflict in "The most dangerous game" by Richard Connell is a man to man conflict when Rainsford is forced to be the prey in General Zaroff's
"hunting." This reminds me that in life we have to do things we don't want to do. Sometimes it can be an arduous, tough, and burdensome situation like
the one Rainsford is going through. Rainsford's first response is "I will not hunt" but is later running for his life. The situation that...show more content...
When people read teen fiction, I liked to read older, more classical books like "Romeo and Juliet" or "Cyrano de Bergerac." These types of books have
always been my refuge, the place to go to when I feel forlorn, and one of the only activities I feel comfortable in. when I read I picture myself in
their position with an exciting, interesting, and adventurous life to distract me from my worries. When they started to get smartphones to take
selfies, my priority was to get a polaroid camera. Sometimes I took my camera to school and the kids characterized me like characters in books do.
The people I read about had inspired me to show who I truly am and who i wanted to become. Literature can help many people become courageous in
life. They give role models, persons to admire that can change the perspective someone has of

Personal Response Journal Essay
Response Journal Is causing parents pain part of the process of growing up, or is it avoidable? It is my belief from my personal observation and
experience that this is inevitable. Parents, or good parents there of, try to give their children 'the best'. Most people wish to pass on their knowledge
and experience to their offspring in hopes that they in turn will do better than they had. In part, this resonates with the child as they too wish to excel
in life, pushing the boundaries, exploring their potential, but avoiding as many hardships as they possibly can. However, many factors do not align in
the way that this is put into action from both parties. Your child is not going to be exactly like you, they have their own unique experiences and

The Giver Personal Response Essay
Can you imagine not having any emotions or not being able to express your feelings to one another? In Lois Lowry's book, The Giver, Jonas and his
utopian community don't have any memories or emotions. When Jonas was chosen to be the receiver, at the ceremony of twelves, he receives all the
memories that none of the community will understand. The Giver transfers memories to Jonas like color, love, and pain. Throughout receiving
memories, Jonas starts to question the people that don't have these things, and this is where the theme "Life without emotions is not a life worth living"
comes into play. Throughout the this novel, the most common topic is being released. Being released means that you will receive a lethal injection
causing you to...show more content...
After Jonas receives a memory of Christmas and love, he figured that his parents would love him just like in the memory. Another line from the
novel is, " 'Do you love me?'... Then father gave a little chuckle. 'Jonas. You, of all people. Precision of language, please!'... 'Do you understand why
it is inappropriate to use a word like 'love'? ( ) Mother asked. Jonas was in awe because he would've expected a meaningful answer. This line matters
because if the community did have emotion they would answer something like, Yes! Of course I do. I love you to the moon and back. In this utopian
community, there are birth mothers instead of traditional parents who fall in love. If this idealistic community had emotion, there would be no
birthmothers. Since Jonas has feelings, he thought that love was the best feeling in the whole world. Throughout the this whole novel it was clear that
the community had no feelings or emotion. So, the theme "Life without emotions is not a life worth living" really shines through The Giver. At the end
of the novel, the Giver and Jonas made plan. The plan was that Jonas had to leave the community and everyone will receive all the memories that Jonas
has. What do think everyone would do if suddenly the people in your community started to have no emotions? Would they be lost like Jonas's
community if they didn't have the

Personal Response To Amy Tan's Two Kinds
Personal Response to text #2
Dakota Downham
Our parents often play an important role in shaping us into the type of people we will eventually become. In the short story "Two Kinds" written by
Amy Tan, Tan portrays a mother daughter relationship through the daughters eyes while she struggles with hermother trying to make her into prodigy.
Although I was never thought to be a prodigy, I was very good at soccer, and therefor I was forced to play it. Like Jing Mei, I played soccer because I
wanted my parents to be proud, I wanted to be socially accepted, and...show more content...
It was not the social norm, especially in the area I grew up, where most families were in poverty and struggling to make ends meet. My parents
weren't rich by any means, but that didn't stop the passion I could feel deep down for the game I knew I loved. There was a boy in my
neighborhood named Justin who I would always invite over to play ball hockey in my driveway. It was what I looked forward to every afternoon.
One day I walked into the kitchen to hear my parents talking about how Justin's parents had found him second hand equipment, and how he would
be starting to play hockey. I was intrigued with this conversation, I figured that my parents might finally think about putting me in hockey. Weeks
went by without them bringing hockey up so I finally asked my mom if I could start playing hockey. My mother looked at me like I was crazy, she
talked about how I was a girl and girls dont play hockey, and how I was too good at soccer to quit. I wasn't allowed to play hockey, because my
parents were influenced by society, and what was normal in society. If I was a boy, my parents would have rushed to put me in hockey, because its
the Canadian game, for boys that is. To be socially accepted I continued to play soccer, like all the other girls in my community, just like Jei Ming,
and many other kids we want to be accepted in the community we live in and don't want to be looked at as weird for wanting something

1984 Personal Response Essay
Fear is something all humans share. This unity of having fear connects all of us together, along with many other things. Fears themselves are not
universal, and every human may have different fears. In the novel 1984 written by George Orwell many common fears are brought into perspective,
many of which I can say I fear myself. While the question asked for the implications of the ending, for me to fully understand the ending I must start
from the beginning. The concern about the truth of history and truth of the past, that the people in power are always watching you, and not being
allowed to have real emotions except towards the government are all fears brought on in the novel, especially with the implications of the ending. As

Ultimately this all leads up to the ending, with 2 + 2 = 5. Mathematical laws of addition would show that the equation of 2 + 2 would equal 4. Yet
what is shown by the party's manipulation is that it is possible to make someone believe that 2 + 2 = 5. By physically and mentally completely
breaking people down to an almost breaking point, it is possible to reprogram their thought process to really think it equals five. This

The Crucible Personal Response
I really wanted to rate more than 3.5 to this book, but I have to be honest, there were too many WHAT THE HECK moments for me, in the end I felt
really conflicted...
I love a good rocker novel, and when both characters are musicians that really makes me happy. I thought Abby and Jake's story was sweet and
funny. Though I enjoyed it, and it was another page turner for me, thus I really wish I would've liked it more. I couldn't get past the fact that Jake
might possibility have some sort of multiple personality disorder, he has that passionate music writer side that would melt every girls' heart, and
than he has that egotistical, cruel rocker side. One moment he would act like the biggest jerk, and than next thing you know he is pouring out of his
heart bagging Abby to forgive her, and telling Abby that he has been waiting for someone like her for all his life. I felt like it could've gone smoother,
but it was more like a switch, he literary switch from cruel to...show more content...
I thought it was lovely how much he loves his mother, and how he would asks his mother for help when he messed up with Abby. He showed that
underneath his jerky, badass rock star side, he does care. Which is were I felt conflicted, the emotional part of Jake were lovely, but when things
were tough then he buries the emotional of him, and switch over to the dark side. It just made me want to scream. It's not so much as Jake has a dark
side that bothers me, I mean who doesn't have a dark side. But it's how it would happened then how it makes me feeling dizzying and keep thinking
WHAT THE HECK.
Music of the Heart was funny, emotional and sweet, Abby and Jack'slove story would suck you right into their world and leaving you feeling dizzy
perhaps with a smile. Check it out if you are looking for rocker love story that has little more heat, low dramas, emotional and fun to

Personal Bias: Response
Personal Bias: Response Paper Personal bias is a topic that many do not enjoy discussing, but understanding bias is crucial to social progress and
acceptance. The series of articles we read discussed many aspects of personal bias including snap judgements and unconscious bias. The article How
Your Looks Betray Your Personality by Roger Highfield discusses in
–depth how people make immediate judgements and inferences when they first see
someone and how these judgements can lead to overgeneralization. Jean Moule expands on this concept of immediate reactions in her article titled
"Understanding Unconscious Bias and Unintentional Racism" by discussing unconscious bias and the actions that it can cause a person to do without
being aware. In this...show more content...
In response to this issue, researchers at Harvard developed the IAT tests to hopefully reveal unconscious biases. This test, which requires users to
sort faces and words into categories as quickly as possible, aims to show how the unconscious mind feels about certain groups of people. Upon
taking the test that focused on race, I felt that the quiz was not necessarily the best way to measure unconscious bias. Because the test relies on
quick response and muscle memory, I sometimes found myself having difficulty processing the word or picture shown. The makers of the test
believe that a delay in response indicates bias, but I feel that many times a delayed response was due to confusion. As someone who typically takes
longer on tests, I felt the quiz was not an adequate measure of my own personal bias. However, I still believe this test could be a decent tool for
uncovering some biases for certain types of people who do not struggle with

Personal Response Creation
Lenses by Leah Silverman
The main theme is humans can find it emotionally difficult to conform to society, but usually end up doing so. The meaning of this theme is that
we all want to do things that are practical to society even if it feels wrong in our hearts.The main driving component which draws people too
conformity are the desire to be accepted in certain status groups. People fear that if they do not conform to society, they will be breaking the social
contract, therefore be rejected by society at not being able to achieve their personal goals. It is easier to do what is expected than following our minds
and rebel. We chose this theme because we can all relate to...show more content...
This individual believes that lies would destroy friendships and lives of others. This relates to the topic because when we conform to society, we
become dishonest with ourselves. Welie about our feelings and emotions to do what is expected. In the poem it says lying could really hurt a person
inside. However, by becoming truthful and showing our true self could also hurt us because by doing so, we could be judged and talked about in a
negative light. Leah Silverman's "Lenses" tells the story of a young surgeon, Corinne, who is asked to replace the vivid eyes of a friend with two
round, steel lenses. She finds herself in a difficult situation where she must decide whether or not to go through with the operation, risking ruining her
friend's depth and character. The overall message of the story is that the people are made as unique individuals. The story emphasizes how the eyes
contribute to the individuality and beauty of a person, and the fact that nothing can replace them. This relates to the theme because as people try to fit
into society, they start to change and become someone they are not. It is important to know the significance of being unique because it tells so much
about our character and feelings. Also, though a person goes through a

English 12: Short story personal response for The Locket, by Kate Chopin
In the lives of many people, certain items have held great importance in those lives due to their association with elements that has an significant, if
not symbolic effect on their lives, such as association with past memories, events, or people. The locket presented in The Locket by Kate Chopin is
one that binds the themes of love, loss, the chaos of war together throughout the entire story. I believe that the locket is symbolic the motif of love in
part I, and loss in part II of the story separately, this is due to shift in focus of the characters from Edmond to Octavie in the story, and the relative
situation and circumstance presented in each section. I believe...show more content...
Thus the locket act as a bond for Edmond and Octavie to the world of the living, as Edmond tries his best to survive, and Octavie remains hopeful,
and as both are pained by the separation of the parting as expressed in the flash back, and this separation is not just the physical separation, but also
of the emotional as Edmond has gone off to war, a terrible deluge that has split families and consumed many lives. At the end of part I, in the
ensuing chaotic battle and retreat, the locket is found to be on the body of a dead boy. It is here that I believe the theme of war plays on the motif
of loss, as it is inferred that this boy, whomever he was, even though it is hinted to be Edmond due to the presence of the locket on him, died in the
battle, which was described by Chopin as "a scramble and a rush rather than any regulated movement" (P. 4, L. 2, Page 154). The battle, described as
chaotic, is inferred to have caused to death of this boy, who the audience, the priest and later Octavie presumes to be Edmond. The significance is that
the chaos of war caused the loss, as it kills "Edmond", also causing Octavie to grieve in part II, thus showing the far reaching effects of the war in the
lives of people. In part II, the motif of loss appears in full flesh as Octavie now appears in full mourning outfit, described as appearing

Coaching Personal Response
Personal Response Gary Collins provides a plethora of valuable information for individuals in pursuit of life coaching. The presented literature provides
clear and concrete information that easy to apply to practice. I think the most influential information that Collins describes is the process of growth and
the role of the coach. Tony Stoltzfus states, "Coaching is helping people learn instead of teaching them" (As seen in Collins, 2009, p. 19). Coaches
are the individuals who walk through the process with their clients (Collins, 2009, p. 19). I find this concept very uplifting because in my
experience as a clinical intern, my clients expressed how safe they felt knowing I would be there to help guide them. After reading the assigned text
and reflecting on my experience in practicum, I often wonder if I tend to swap roles as a counselor and a coach during sessions. I say this because in
counseling, the counselor tends to focus on the past and things that have happened to influence their client's present behavior. However, sometimes I
find myself helping the client to create goals for their future based on where they are in the present. Although, Collins (2009) explains how counselor
are typically the "experts who treat patients, provides healing, and directs" (Collins, 2009, p. 16)....show more content...
I did not think that coaching could benefit couples because I believed coaching is for one client at a time. For example, I believed clients who are
married could go to life coaching to discuss the direction of his or her personal concerns. However, Collins (2009) stated couples tend to enjoy
coaching together (Collins, 2009). Overall, I believe Gary Collins Helping Others Turn Potential into Reality: Christian Coaching, was extremely
informative. It also helped me understand that my future work as a coach is also work that God ordained for His people; to extend and

Rwby Personal Response
I was inspired by RWBY and "REALiTi", a song by Grimes, while thinking of a topic for my essay. In RWBY it encourages personal uniqueness
and the forgiving of mistakes. In "REALiTi", it focuses on how reality is important and even if it isn't pretty you have to face it. As a gay man and a
minority in America, I am hated for just existing. How much sense does that make? This world is cruel indefinitely, but I did not give up. I express
myself even when i get bullied. I especially got abused in middle school to freshman year when I lived the a small town Eureka. I had gotten into
fights and got verbally abused everyday, but I still moved forward and kept myself true. The result, I am happier than ever before. Today I attend
