There are many differences between the book and movie of “Frankenstein.” Personally I believe the book is much better than the movie. In the beginning of the book, when Frankenstein created the monster, and it came alive… he ran. But in the movie the monster was hanged by chains. Also in the movie, Frankenstein's monster throws the little girl in the water after the two of them toss in flower petals, and he realizes that his action was wrong. In the book, he saves a young woman from drowning only to have her screaming bloody murder when she sees his face.
Another great example of a big difference is creating another monster. In the book, Frankenstein never created a female monster for the creature. As the movie shows, the creature had asked Frankenstein to create a female like himself to love. As asked, Frankenstein did make a female monster. That is a great difference between the book and movie. There is another great example between the book and the movie. In the movie, the monster rips out Elizabeth's still-beating heart, and Frankenstein rushes her body up to his laboratory where he chops off her head, attaches it to Justine's body, and brings her back to life. She was grotesque, but her good eye horrified me out more than the swollen, stitched-up one. Frankenstein begins to dance with her, compelling her to say his name. Then the fiend walks in, and he and Frankenstein begin fighting over her. Upset and confused, Elizabeth/Justine lights herself on fire and runs down the hall. Then on Walton's boat, the fiend takes Frankenstein’s body away on a piece of ice and burns it.
A really big difference between the book and the movie was the education of the Monster. They both focus around the Monster’s time spent watching the De Laceys. In the movie his time was spent mostly to just watching the family and how they acted towards each other. He learned quickly how to speak and read and learned to understand the different emotions people had. The only weird thing of the Monster’s rapid learning process is that in a movie not a great deal of time can be spent on this or else the movie would drag on. Although not a lot of time was spent on showing the development of the Monster’s education in the movie, the book went into great detail in describing its education.
When making a film of a book, it is sometimes necessary to change certain parts of it. But it is also important to leave some things and parts the same. In the book and movie of Frankenstein, changing the education of the Monster and the ending of the story showed the differences between the book and movie

Senior portfolio
“Stressful Times,” was the hardest piece to write because it was written from off the top of my head. I started with a little piece of imagination and ended up with a story. Using your imagination is easy, but writing down what you imagine is harder because you have to find the write words. I overcame this because using your imagination is something everyone does. Writing it down is hard, but you can do anything you put your mind to!
I am personally most proud of my Senior Thesis. I was proud of myself for writing a great essay on something I knew nothing about. I was proud of myself because I didn’t do many punctuation errors or run on sentences.
I choose not to put my Frankenstein essay into the portfolio, because I think I did poorly on it. I didn’t like the way the essay sounded or was phrased. I think the other three essays I choose were much better.
“Drug Abuse Is A Serious Problem” - “Drug abuse has many aberrant definitions related to digesting a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect. I like the way it was worded and gave the exact definition without hesitation. “Starting Over”- Little whispers surrounded me, making my heart skip a beat. I like this sentence because you can feel like something is wrong. You can almost put your self into the situation. “Stressful Times”- No one ever spoke to her because they didn’t know how she would react. I like this sentence because some people can think of times where they could almost relate to what was said.
I would personally say that the individual has really good points and advice from their works. The three essays had something do with a lesson learned in life. I think the weakness is putting it in their view and not others. I would say put more statistics proving their point into the works.
I would feel most comfortable making my Drug Abuse essay into a longer essay. My reasoning is because I would like to put more statistics proving why there is a problem. I would also put more examples to back up my reasoning.
I personally would make my essay “Starting Over,” into another genre. Many people can relate to wanting to or starting over. They can relate even if its in life in general or with them selves. Life’s lessons, is the best way to make a poem or song.
My heart beats faster and faster, with no movement in my feet. I stand surrounded with people n their eyes beating at me. I cant think straight, and run fast to the back seat. With my face buried into my knees, Desiree’ tries to see, The misery in the eyes that cant leave. She wraps her arms around me and tries to comfort me. Wanting so much in life is only a hint of imagination. Trying so hard to do best in life for me and my family, but nothing comes to mind. I want to leave, get out of this word. Run as fast as possible, but I still stand still. Clueless and feeling unwanted. Weeks past by, leaves from the trees turn colors, and still no progress. Woke up to a annoying sound of ringing in my ears. It was time to go to school, not knowing it was my last. Not realizing the feeling of being unwanted, would soon be in my past.
“Starting Over,” reflects my personality the best because I think the worst of things. When times get rough in life; all I want to do is run. I can strongly relate to this essay.
Desiree’ would respond very confused. She would most likely ask why I would feel so down or alone. I believe should want for certain sentences to be worded differently and more strongly.
Its very effective because you can look back on how much you’ve approved. I’ve learned that using your imagination but also a sense of life helps a lot. Sometimes you can make things off the top of your head, but many times you have to use good examples in your own life to get a good story.
I would save it anyways to see what progress I’ve done. I like to know if im doing better or worse on what I’ve written.
Dear Kristie, Never take life for granted. Things will always come and go, but that’s life. Things might happen that you don’t like, but you can always keep your head up and take baby steps to a better life. Never look back to the past, always look forward to the future, because you can’t change what has happened. But you can always control on what happens in the future; with the decisions you make. Write what you feel, and write your goals. Never give up on your goals, as for life will always come to you if you don’t cheat the way.

Condoleezza Rice
Secretary of State
Born November 14, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama
is the second woman to be US Secretary of State
She is the first black woman to be Secretary of State, and she holds the highest position in a presidential cabinet that any black woman has held
She says she became a Republican when she watched the 1984 Democratic Convention on TV, and decided that the Democrats' appeals to "women, minorities, and the poor" really meant "helpless people and the poor". Rice said, "I decided I'd rather be ignored than patronized."
She was raised in segregated Birmingham during the civil rights movement. A childhood friend, 11-year-old Denise McNair, was one of the four young girls killed in the bombing of Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church in 1963. Rice never became involved in the civil rights movement, but she says, "My parents had me absolutely convinced that, well, you may not be able to have a hamburger at Woolworth's but you can be President of the United States.
She skipped first and seventh grades, entered college at 15, holds three degrees including a doctorate in political science, and earned her Master's in just one year's study
Became Secretary of State on January 26, 2005.
Became the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, on January 22, 2001.

Bryn Campbell
This picture can closely relate to a daily school life in many different ways. In any bigger schools, hundreds of students walk the halls at one point of the time. Which makes it hard to move around and very crowded. It could also relate to school life because when students have the chance to walk the halls, they always find a way to stop and talk to someone. Which in this certain picture taken by Bryn Campbell, many people are walking to their destination and talking at the same time.

photo idea
My next portrait that I'm going to take is going to be while I'm on vacation of Aruba. I want to show a different side to Aruba than just a vacation spot. I want to show how locals act and how hard they work. Islands are not always just vacations spots, they are just like any city, country, or state. Everyone works and tries to make it through by paying bills and what not.
