Frankenstein

              


 “Being thus provided, I resolved to reside in this hovel, until something should occur which might alter my determination. It was indeed a paradise, compared to the bleak forest, my former residence, the rain-dropping branches, and dank earth. I ate my breakfast with pleasure. And was about to remove a plank to procure myself a little water, when I heard a step, and, looking through a small chink, I beheld a young creature, with a pail on her head, passing before my hovel. The girl was young and of gentle demeanor, unlike what I have since found cottagers and farm-house servants to be. Yet she was meanly dressed, a coarse blue petticoat and a linen jacket being her only garb, her fair hair was plaited, but not adorned, she looked patient, yet sad. I lost sight of her, and in about a quarter of an hour she returned, bearing the pail, which was now partly filled with milk.”
                When you read a book you always want a statement or paragraph that you feel you are actually there and doing it, when reading this paragraph that’s the way I felt. I felt like I actually saw this women and that’s what I love about books. You can go into a whole different world and think about something different. The out of this whole paragraph one part of it really made me think I was there, “Yet she was meanly dressed, a coarse blue petticoat and a linen jacket being her only garb, her fair hair was plaited, but not adorned, she looked patient, yet sad.” Just this statement made me want to read this book even more; at first sadly I didn’t want to read it. I hate reading a book that you can’t feel your actually there and escaping to a whole different world. So far this book is really good, I thought it was just going to be about Frankenstein but it's totally not.
