Cove Annotations Start with the annotations; You are required to include at least two (2) annotations, detailed below, of 50-100 words each. You will also include one (1) response to an annotation that is not your own. THE TEXT IS FRANKENSTEIN VOLUME 3 General Requirements • • • • • • • Include at least 1 historical/cultural annotation and 1 critical question annotation (total of 2 annotations) of 50-100 words (minimum) each— Historical or Cultural Annotations: These annotations answer the questions: What relevant historical or cultural events are referenced in the text or could be helpful to understand its meaning? Research and citations are needed for these references. Again, your annotation should provide insight into how these references or engagement with the historical/cultural environment offers a deeper understanding of the text under consideration. Critical Questions: Ask critical questions about the text. These should not focus on content or summary (ex: what is happening here?) Instead, critical questions are those that make connections between the text and the environment surrounding the text. They are questions that push you toward analysis. Students should create their own annotations, reflecting their own thoughts and ideas. You cannot simply copy and paste from the OED, Wikipedia, and other reference sites—that’s plagiarism anywhere you are writing. What do I do if another person already annotated what I wanted to annotate? If a word/line/sentence already has a historical/cultural annotation, it is off-limits. You must find another section to annotate. Include 1 response to an annotation that is not your own. Your response should NOT simply agree/disagree; it should reflect genuine engagement with the annotation you have chosen. 50-100-word minimum. This is the classmates post you will respond to. Text, she annotated “I shut my eyes involuntarily, and endeavored to recollect what my duties were with regard to this destroyer. I called on him to stay." Her annotation Notice the vacillation on Walton's part here and throughout the remaining events in the novel. He is conflicted: he wants to avenge his friend and follow through on his promise, but he is also curious and motivated by compassion. Journal #5 Requirements Your journal is a space for critical reflection and assessment. Reflection does NOT mean that you assert your feelings. Instead, critical reflection asks you to engage with the readings and assess your understanding of the material. Your journals demonstrate evidence of having carefully completed the readings for the week and assess your ability to think critically about those readings. Successful entries will: • Adhere to the required word length (250 words); • Respond to the prompt in an engaged manner, using evidence from the text and your own annotations; • Engage with the material provided in class, linking course lectures on Blackboard and discussion from the COVE annotations to your own interpretation of the literature Here is the prompt you will answer. Consider the ending of the novel and the ambiguity at the end. How do you interpret this ending? In this journal, critically analyze the ending, tying it specifically to the anxiety that you referenced last week. How does the ending add to this anxiety? Does it resolve it? Does it leave it open--begging you, the reader, to reconsider or speculate on aspects that you had not before considered? The text is Frank stein Volume 3 and below in BOLD you will see the previous week's journal so, you can answer the questions referencing that. What anxieties does Shelley reveal about the early nineteenth century? In Mary Shelley's novel, she exposes anxieties of the early nineteenth century concerning progress and science. This is seen in Victor Frankenstein, determined to discover the secret of life through his scientific studies. His obsession with knowledge leads him to create a creature that terrifies him, as it represents a power beyond his control (Bowen, 2015). The creation of this creature highlights the fear that with advancing science, mankind may be exposed to forces that it cannot control. How do these anxieties resonate with the concerns of diversity and representation that we have discussed previously in the class? This anxiety is related to the current issues of diversity and representation, which are linked to power dynamics. In society, individuals with less access to resources and privilege often suffer due to the power held by those with more resources and privilege. Similarly, in Shelley’s novel, the creature is rejected and shunned by Victor and others due to his different appearance, symbolizing how people can be oppressed due to their differences (Shelley, 1818). By highlighting this issue in her novel, Shelley is emphasizing the need for diversity and representation in society. A specific passage from the novel that supports this idea is when the creature says, “Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed” (Shelley, 1818, 100). Through this passage, Shelley conveys the idea that the creature is being oppressed for no fault of his own, as he is not given a chance to prove his worth due to his physical appearance. This serves as a warning against allowing prejudice and fear to dictate how one interacts with others.

Response to Tiffany
Tiffany, your interpretation of the novel presents an alternative view to the anxieties of
technology that we analyzed in the last week’s journal. I found your post quite thoughtful in that
Victor was overcome by fear while all along he could have chosen courage. My opinion is that
Shelley tried to reflect general societal fears and anxieties hence capitalizing on the emotion of
fear. Although it is imaginable that courage could have overcome Victor’s troubles...
