There are many things i hope to accomplish in my life, this includes getting a job i enjoy, finding the right girl for me and traveling the world. I still do not know what i want to do after school, however i know that the better job opportunities open up after finishing higher education. I have recently come to the realization that we learn a lot of pointless things while we are in school, and we skip over the more valuable things. Like for example, how often are we going to be forced to write an essay while working or find what x is? Not very often, but we never learn how to do taxes or saving for retirement. Yet we continue to go and do the same thing over and over in the hope that we will get into the collage we want, where the actual education that help you begins. I will not deny that i have learned a lot of valuable lessons while in high school, because it would be a lie. I feel like a much more intelligent person now than when i came here as a freshman. One of my biggest dreams right now is to buy a GTR, which is one of my main driving forces to be successful right now because i wont get get enough money from a job without a college degree. So in that way education is helping me on the way to achieving my goal. Although im sure my priorities will change eventually.

First of all, I think that Victor's decision to run away from the creature goes against his action prior to animating the monster. Before the creature came to life Victor was adamantly trying to go against the course of nature and alter lives. Now when he brings the creature to life instead of welcoming his creation he decides to run away. Now the creature is disoriented and knows nothing about what is going on. He is frustrated with Victor because he was to only person he saw when he was animated. The creature goes and kills many of Victors family members or people close to him. Which is kind of hard to believe that the creature would know who was Victors family just like that. If Victor had stayed and given the creature a chance the story might have been very different, and more boring than it already is. If Victor had stayed the monster might have been taught what is right and wrong like a child. The monster was neutral when it was animated and when Victor left it was confused and angry and became evil. If Victor had stayed the monster would instead be good. Some of the problems Victor would have faced include things like teaching the monster whats right or wrong, teaching it to read, having to deal with people being frightened with the monster, basically making him acceptable to society. Overall the story would have been adversely different and potentially more boring to read at the same time.

The quote I felt most strongly about was "Family and friends are the most important things in life". Although there might be other important things in life like contributing to society, getting a job, etc, Where would anyone get without the support of family and friends. I know I would not get to far without my parents and friends giving me support when I need it. The support that they give me helps me get through some of the problems I have or some of the decisions I have to make. For example, one of my friends got me a job at the place he works. While working there I met a lot of people who also became my friends and I hang out with them often. I also support my friends and family when they need help with something. That is why  I agree with the quote.
