Frankenstein By Mary Shelley: Analysis
The decision of creating a new blog, and calling it the Mexican Frankenstein, was not that hard to make. I actually think that it came naturally to me after a few days of reading the book by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus. But to make it easier to understand why, this is the context surrounding the decision I made.

A few days before my travel to Hungary, I spoke with one of my colleagues about his plans for the future. He had applied for (and won) an scholarship to study in the U.S in the college of his choice as long as he got accepted in the program. I became trill and a bit jealous when I heard this.

In fact, I had an 85% scholarship in a private school that was not that far away from my parent's house. The tuition was about 36 thousand pesos every 4 months, so I had to pay 1,350.00 pesos every month.

But still this was not enough . the best education I could get since I was not sure that the public school in my location(UG) was a good alternative, on account of the stories of bad teachers and bad reI do not mean to offend anyone, I know really good professionals from this school, but I am trying to state what I had in my mind in that moment ) and other private and more prestigious schools were out my budget. And leaving Guadalajara to study in Mexico City was not an option either.

I did not do that bad in high-school since I got an average grade of 9.4/10, but I was not an athlete, I was not a math enthusiast, nor I came from the slums. I am a middle class, average

Rather, these ideas are mainly formed by the guidance and direction from one’s parents, and also by observation of the environment, and how others handle specific interactions.…
