EWRT1A-62: reading response 10

Here's the prompt for Reading Response 10, which we started in class:

Dear students,
We have come to the last reading response in the class. Instead of writing a formal analysis, what I’d like you to do is to write a letter. The audience for your letter is your fellow classmates. Please tell them what discoveries you have made about Frankenstein. Maybe you are surprised at how the different the novel is than the movie versions. Maybe the language was challenging for you, but you made a breakthrough with it. Maybe the central question of whether or not the quest for knowledge is good or evil challenges the very reason why you are in college. In other words, tell the other students your experience reading this novel, what you felt and what you thought.
This is a letter, so it should read like one. Don’t worry about writing a well-argued analysis. The goal here is simply to share your insights and impressions.
Sincerely,
Nick Mullins
