Today’s Quotes:
What can I know? What ought I to do? How can I hope? —Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)
Most people think that shadows follow, precede, or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.
-Elie Wiesel, writer, Nobel laureate (b. 1928)

-
OJ 13
Write a Frankenstein parody–you may do this with a partner. It can be any humorous creation in reaction to the novel and its characters. Many things are possible–Elizabeth’s version of things, maybe Victor’s other brother Ernest has a story to tell, maybe you do a heavy metal rock ballad, maybe a music video cries out to be made. Whatever it is, it should not be serious (unless it is seriously funny).
- Continue to work on your part of the position paper.
