I chose this particular Guardian newspaper article because I felt it relates best to what happens and is an important part of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. For example when you go into a nearby No-frills shop to buy cereal. The box is categorized "Contains GMO". The first thought that invades your mind is: A. “How wonderful! GMOs can offer valuable additional nutrients and superior crop resistance, leading to longer, healthier lives for many of the world's most disadvantaged people. In plus, it makes my corn flakes cheap!" B. "Scandalous! Humans have no right to interfere with nature, especially since the long-term effects of genetic alteration are not fully studied could this food do to our figures or the environment around us?" If you were Mary Shelley, you would undoubtedly choose “None of the above.” Frankenstein isn't saying that new scientific discoveries are bad, but he also isn't telling us "oh, this is what will happen if you question nature, for sure." Instead, it is a warning about the mismanagement and mistreatment of science by unknowing or negligent people. No one ever bothered to teach him morals or responsibility or mutual intelligence. GMO foods are also very Frankensteinian because they have the same problem, like the monster. Both GMO foods and Frankenstein's monster are unpredictable and not much is known about them. France has banned GMO foods from interfering with the food chain in their countries; These countries believe that GMO foods are unsafe and not much is known about their side effects on the human body. This is the same feeling Victor felt after the monster created he was disgusted... middle of paper... by the inability to socialize and confused at the ability to speak because he hung out with the Delacy family. They unknowingly taught the monster to speak. The monster also makes a journey from defenseless to defender. When Victor abandons the monster, the unfortunate man feels abandoned. But when the monster takes the life of the victorious brother, he becomes the guardian.8. I read The Hunger Games: Mockingjay and went on many similar journeys. The protagonist is a girl named Katniss Everdeen. Katniss starts out as an innocent girl just like Victor because she has no introduction to the real world. Once he gets on a train and goes to the big city, he learns that sometimes you have to be wild to get what you want. Through this journey he wins the Hunger Games. Unfortunately the opposite happened for Victor, he learned that crossing the line has consequences.
