In Frankenstein I think atmosphere is the most important element. The atmosphere can really set the mood for any good story. If you have a horror or gothic novel the atmosphere is going to be dark and gloomy not all bright and happy. When Doctor Frankenstein brought the monster to life it was a dark and stormy night, not a calm night. The was a thunderstorm with pounding rain that did not let up. This is the atmosphere that is set up by marry Shelly to bring more fear to they reader. We also have the guts of dead animals and other dead parts of animals and humans making it very easy to get sick. Dr Frankenstein did in fact get very sick from these unclean working conditions and the dead animal remains. The atmosphere can really affect the setting and mood of the story which is why I choose it as the most important.

marry shelly
if i had to create a ghost story i would start it off like marry shellys to an extenst. i would not put the leters at the begining because i am still confused on how they tie into the story completly. i would however give completet background that may take a couple chapters just like marry shellys. Frankenstein is very in depth when it comes to the background so the reader has an understanding that the doctor came from a weathy family and has been well educated. with this bacground I can understand his personality and how he thinks. This shows that he has had time to take an interest in education and not have to worry about financial struggles. I would start off my book like marry Shelly did and add all the detail as she did

Baseball time
On spring break I plan to play plenty of baseball. My coach does not care that it is spring break we still practice and play games. Baseball is something I have loved doing since before I can remember. So that's all I want to do this spring break is play baseball. It will be nice to relax from school and just play the game. Plus with sleeping in there is no "I was tired" excuses, not that coach takes them either way. Most of my friends play baseball so I will be hanging with my friends and playing a sport I love. Creating fun memories about spring break and about our shared love for baseball. This will truly make for a great spring break.

Invisibllity
If I could either fly or be invisible I would obviously pick invisibility. There is so much more I can do invisible then be flying. Not saying that flying is not cool, but I would rather remain unseen. If I was in trouble I could just disappear until that person calmed down a little bit. I also could sneak around and scare people who are not expecting for an invisible guy to be there. I would hold the door closed from the inside so people would think the door is closed. I could also sneak into movies and other places without people noticing, because they could not see me. I also could then call myself a ninja with my sneaking ability. Mr. Juarez would be completely jealous of my powers and be saddened. So I do believe invisibility would be better than the ability to fly.

Despeate measures...
When my brother got his license we would always go drifting in the snow. We took my dad's girlfriend (Tina) little 2006 Ford Escape. But this winter my brother had his own truck a 1999 Dodge Ram, which is a lot bigger than a little escape. So we went drifting in the parking lots and had a blast we had never hit anything. We even would go drifting down side streets and residential streets. We had just pulled out of the drift and straightened the truck out on the round doing about 50 mph when the breaks would not engage. My brother tried the emergency brake and the regular brake nothing would engage. Approaching 57 we had no brakes going about 50 mph down the street. My brother puts his seatbelt on and tells me to do the same. I did not know what he was going to to and neither do he. Until I spotted a snow pile left over from a plow. My brother slowed the truck down the eat he could by hitting all the unpacked snow in the road before we hit the mound. Something must have worked because the truck did not hit the mound hard,t did not even damage the front end. My brother calls my dad and he comes to get us. As he comes to get us my brother and I pushed the truck most the way out of the mound. When my dad gets there after scolding my brother for drifting on bad brakes and Tie rods he climbs in the truck. My brother drove my dad car home with myself riding shotgun and my dad drove my brothers truck home. My brother got new brake pads and tie rods and fixed his truck the next day.

Trust me
There have been multiple times people have had to trust me. I a the friend that people come to when they need advice or when they need someone to talk to. But there was this time I really had to convince someone to trust me. My friend was extremely upset about her family situation and everything going on in her lie. And I had to convince her that everything would come out alright, that she needed to stay strong. She was considering the worst alternative and that there was no way out. After a long talk almost 4 hours of constant texting and talking on the phone I finally got here to calm down enough that I was sure she would not harm herself. She now has learned to deal with the stress of life and find better alternatives. But she had to trust me that there were better options and that she could make it through what was going on.

essay
Now that we have talked about my struggles in class and with paying attention we can see how getting help has paid off. I now have a 76% average in biology because I finally accepted the help my teacher was trying to give me. My grades in almost every class improved because I was happy being at school, I use to just go because I had to and not care about my grades. I can look forward to getting my associates of science degree and put it toward nursing. I was in a happier state of mind outside of school as well because I did not think of it as a waste of time so I was happier at football, and at home. So accomplishing this at school also improved my social and personal life tremendously. Now I use these accomplishments to set goals higher so I can achieve greater things.
