Frankenstein Connection

So I am writing this on my iPad in attempt to be resourceful, so please be understanding if the format isn't perfectly correct (Apple problems). This blog is going to be about my general feelings toward Frankenstein and how I'm able to connect it to the daily life I live. Whenever I originally saw that we were going to be reading Frankenstein in AP Literature I wasn't too excited. I had never seen Frankenstein as an intriguing book and had my mind set that I wasn't going to like it. In all honesty, the first three letters bored me to death and my mind was made up about the book. Around  the 3 rd chapter I started to warm up to the subject and saw the book as something more than this crazy guy making a monster. Whenever Victor created Frankenstein, I started to develop a certain emotion towards the creature. My motherly instincts definitely kicked in and I've found myself rooting for Frankenstein and disliking Victor. It seems to me that Victor is like a mother with extreme post partum depression and I just can't wrap my head around the fact that he essentially abandoned his own child and was completely satisfied doing so. As a woman, teenage girl, young adult, whatever you want to call me, I could never anbandon my own child, ugly or not, the girl/boy would still be MY creation that I endured. So moving on...whenever Frankenstein murdered William I could only feel sympathy for the creature although I am still unaware of why Franky killed the poor boy. I imagine a kid in an adult body growing up without parents and trying to learn things in his/her own and this just enduces a certain compassion that I have for children both good and bad. I think I'll be able to connect this to my life, since I want to be a children's therapist, in that I should understand the background of the child before I can make any assumptions about their behavior. I should fully comprehend their background and have a firm grasp of where they come from and how they grew up before I can actually truly help them. Because what's the point of therapy if the therapist has no idea what your mindframe is like? I think this book, Frankenstein, will, in the long run, benefit me an help me in my goals to get a PhD in Psychology.
