I have enjoyed reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. It is a wonderful book about how Victor Frankenstein goes through the trouble of creating life and afterwords, despising it. It revolves around the theme of acting like god. Although we may think that we are in control of our world, we must remind ourselves that there is a greater being who is truly in control. Another theme that interests me is solitude is the worst of all evils. Our nature thrives on belonging to a group or being among our people. The monster confronts Victor in hopes for a partner that shares the sorrow like he does. This book taught me that we need a relationship with someone in our lives. Without that rapport, then we would grow bitter, angry, and even violent. Also, I have learned that, as humans, we have our limits, which are more beneficial than destructive.

This is a supplement answer for Columbia University and I want some help on if it is okay or not. Thank you!
