EWRT1A30: parallelism and end of Frankenstein

Here is the parallelism exercise.

As I mentioned in class on Wednesday, I'd like you to think about your experience reading Frankenstein. What surprised you or what stuck out for you? Maybe you were surprised at how different the novel was 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, articulate your experience reading this novel, what you felt and what you thought. You won't be handing this in, but be ready to share it in class.

We also will be discussing Maxine Hong Kingston's "No Name Woman" on Monday. It's in your reader. As you read it, try to figure out why the narrator has chosen to tell the story of her aunt. Also, look for connections to Frankenstein.

I was told that the way to properly type the works cited page for Frankenstein would be up here. but i did not find it. how do you cite it?

It's your job to figure it out. Use your Longman book. See entry 1 on page 76. And add "Print" at the end of your entry.
