Final

1. In my response to the film The Bride of Frankenstein and the article that we were supposed to read in the library, I now take a much more opposite and radical view point. Frankenstein the created monster was just that a monster. His actions and attitude to the rest of society were caused by society but by the monster who created him initially. Frankenstein was a created moster with initial evil intentions due to the fact he was produced from the dead, and is therefore a direct morall defiance of God and Frankenstein's behavior shows this. Frankenstein cannot blame his actions based on his treatment that he received from others. He as well as his creator are immorally defiant. The idea to create such a monster can only be construed from the ultimate and original monster, Satan. Only Satan himself would come up with an idea to collect portions of dead carcasses and try to develop a living being. Therefore, it can be determined that Frankenstein's actions are truely those dictated by the devil and canot e blamed on any mistreatment of any kind that he received.
2. After viewing the film Koyanisquatsi, I argued that mass technology had intertwined itself into our everyday lives and was almost inexscapable. I was very wrong. Mass technology today is something that can be illuded today just as it was in previous eras. I myself live in rural Kentucky where many residents still today live without many of the technological advances or lives of leisure that many injoy today. Two of the residents that participate is such behavior is that of my grandparents. The two of them live without some, not all, but the majority of technological leisures that the majority enjoy. The exist without the use of a telephone, I-pods, computers, and even running water. However, my grandparents feel that todays culture and people lack the ability to do things on their own without technological help. They feel that their chosen way of life is one that promotes true culture, one that has nearly passed from existence. In their minds today's modern culture is one that is lacking in substance and true meaning.
