First Journal 8/30

The opening letters reveal that Robert Walton is very out going and ready to embrace life. He has high hopes and plans to achieve his goals. He thinks more and in a different way than most people at the time he has a good idea of where he invisions his own life going. He is very interested and intreaged by Victor when he meets him.

The letters reveal that Walton has found the friend he was looking for but never expect to find. The mysterious man is older. Walton reminds him of himself for being curious and driven. He shares with Walton his story to try and warn him of his possible destiny in hopes that Walton won't make the same mistakes he did. It is clear that Victor doesn't have much else to live for in the north because of his peculiar response when welcomed onto the boat. I didn't realize til later that Victor was who created the monster so there is foreshadowing.

  1. "The opening letters" of what? Put the whole context of what you are doing into each blog. Anyone who has access to the Internet can read this, and they are your audience, not just people in this class. Each post should be a message in a bottle.
