My Thoughts on Frankenstein

When I get to be nineteen I can't imagine myself writing a classic novel that people hundreds of years from now will still be reading.  For someone to be able to do that at such a young age is mind blowing to me.  I struggle with writing a paragraph for English class, let alone writing a whole novel.

Does man have the right to create life?  In my opinion, we do not.  God created the heavens and the earth and everything else in it.  If God intended for there to be another form of life in this world he would have created it.

I do not believe in immortality on earth.  Nothing you get or do will make you live forever.  With my religion I've been taught and believe that after you die you will either to go heaven or to hell.  Here you will live for the rest of eternity, either in paradise or in torment.

Monsters reside in us if we let them.  A monster can be something such as you hating something about yourself, something that you let control your thoughts and actions like an addiction, or something that possesses you.  People deal with their "monsters" in different ways.  Some go to counseling, some go to the doctor, and some pray.  Even though we all deal with it different ways, we all have the one thing in common.  We all want it gone.

2012 Theme Word

Spontaneous.

I chose the word spontaneous because I want look back and know that I made the most out of my last few years in high school.  Doing random things with my friends will be the memories I will remember forever.

A lot of people will dare there friends to go up to random people and have a conversation with them just for fun.  This year I want to be the person they dare.  For my whole life I have been the one sitting there telling my friends it would be funny if they went over to that table or that group of people and just start a conversation with them.  Sometimes I wish that was me, but I have never gotten the courage to just do it.

I want to learn from this that I should not take life too seriously.  To just live in the moment, have fun, and laugh about it later. Most of the time I will never see these people again, so why not?

So go ahead, dare me.
