READ Frankenstein 1: Preface (vii) – Vol I, Chp VI (p.51)BLOG 14: Write a letter to someone you know focusing on one of the themes in Walton's letters (like companionship and/or education or another you have identified from the reading). Reflect on your observations about the reading and refer to at least one quote from the novel.
Dear Jebree,
I am reading this book called Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The first letter that R. Walton wrote is about his adventure of his sail and his hopes and dreams of accomplishments. He talks about how he wants to sail a go wale fishing by renting a boat from a fisherman and getting a crew. He said he would rent by paying the insurance on the boat. He hopes that his dreams come true and if they do he said that it could be up to years before he sees his sister again. He has much determination and hopes in his life. He talks about all the education he had when he was younger. He mentions how he would stay up studding math and phlosophy.
He mentions that he wants to make discoveries that no one else has. He wants to know things that no one else knows. "I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world never before visited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by the foot of man" (7). He wants to discover things and be the best he can. He has hopes to know things and be the first to do things. He has many dreams and seems very determind to accomplish them.
