Frankenstein – Written Homework March 25, 2010 In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, I would consider Victor Frankenstein as a unique character. At first he was a boring child because nothing interesting was going on in his life besides his mother dying but I guess he was just a normal person which makes it hard to read because he had a normal childhood. As soon as Victor Frankenstein meets the science professors’ Waldman and M. Krempe Victor Frankenstein’s life drastically changes and to me the book does not become as boring and dry to read and I actually am able to read without frustration. Victor Frankenstein’s upbringing just shows how obsessed people can become when they find something they admire but this was just too out of the ordinary. Usually people just become obsessed or addicted to drugs but in this case Victor is obsessed with the human anatomy of the human body and basically just the world of science but his obsession

The novel shows you how the colour of your skin, of being crippled and jealously can the reason you end up alone and on your own. One of the most important human emotions is friendship. Without friendship or company of others, people would suffer and become lost and drown in their world of unhappiness. Characters in the novel are envious towards Lennie and George, as they own a strong bond of friendship while the others dream of obtaining this kind of company and companionship. All the characters suffer with unhappiness in their lives because none of them can escape the misery of being on their own.
Most were in crisis and just experienced significant losses; death of spouse or child, illness, poverty, and trauma. All of which could have been managed in an environment other than an institution. They did not act in the ways that society expected them to, and so they were committed. One story was that a man was over jubilant, singing and praising in public, so he was confined to the asylum. Their painful experiences were hardly managed in any type of therapy, its only form was hydrotherapy and electro-shock.
Like the ranch-hands, she is desperately lonely and has broken dreams of a better life. Curley’s wife: Of Mice and Menis not kind in its portrayal of women. In fact, women are treated with contempt throughout the course of the book. Steinbeck generally depicts women as troublemakers who bring ruin on men and drive them mad. Curley’s wife, who walks the ranch as a temptress, seems to be a prime example of this destructive tendency—Curley’s already bad temper has only worsened since their wedding.
AIDS is like a curse in Bonang. Whoever affected by AIDS in Bonang society, they scared to share with others like Chanda’s mother , Jonah, Sara, Esther, Esther’s parents and Emmanuel among of everyone know they have AIDS, but they didn’t share.

He goes on to talk about how much she hates her for being a faker and plans on saying, “…Marla, you big fake, you get out” (Palahniuk 24). This shows the irony that he wants her to leave for being a faker although he is just as much at fault. This can be related to men being angry that women were coming in and competing for jobs even though it was a completely reasonable thing to
There are many ways people become homeless. It is usually a series of events, such as losing a job, getting divorced, dropping out of college, facing a death or tragedy, drug addiction, mental illness, etc. Some homeless people have a job but can’t afford to have a home because minimum wage isn’t a living wage. Many homeless people feel there are no opportunities left for them because they learned this behavior. Many just need the right opportunities shown to them to change their whole perspective on life.
He never could quite figure out how to balance his studies with his love of the theater and, more importantly, the illicit activities that could be found there. These activities were far more interesting to him than poking around in dead bodies, but his father insisted that he follow in his footsteps. Then one day word came about a new outbreak of the plague in London, followed swiftly by the news that his entire family had succumbed to the sickness. Alone, penniless, and expelled from the university, he did what he could to survive but he had no actual skills to speak of other than the small amount of information he had managed to glean from the lectures he bothered to attend. Using the last of his money he purchased the costume of a plague doctor and passed himself off as an established, well educated physician.
Many of the victims never report the crime because the perpetrator is a family member or friend of the family. Also I found there is little to no resource for victims to recover from the sexual trauma, such as mental health services, lack of cultural knowledge or cultural sensitivity, lack of interpreters and other outreach programs. The disruption of tribal tradition set the stage for addictions to alcohol, substance abuse, incest, violence, and sexual abuse. Sexual assault is a traumatic event for the victim and has long term consequences that have devastating psychological, social, and interpersonal health responses. It is important that individuals, family members, and society need to break the cycle of sexual assault by addressing these violent acts that cause unhealthy, damaging, and long-term
