Similarities Between Frankenstein And Tkam
Prejudice has been such a big part of Monster and TKAM. It has made up most of the lives of the main characters, in these books. Their childhood has been experiencing prejudice and molding their brains into a thinking that’s very dangerous. This is why in both novels prejudice is the ultimate source of conflict, leading to intense violence, stereotyping, and internal strugglings.

Monster; an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening. A monster is something that steve was definitely not. About that's not what his attorney nor what other people think. Even though steve is a kind and shy person, he was still categorized as a ‘’monster’’. With this situation, steve was struggling too, find out who he was real.

To really understand them. The effect on prejudice so much violence in this book. That one time when Tom Robinson was in jail all the farmers wanted to get him out so they hang him. The poor guy wasn't doing anyone harm. So why cause more trouble than it has to be? They just wanted to hang hi because he was black, and supposedly when you're black you immediately become a bad person. They even proved him guilty, when in the first place he was not. He didn’t touch Mayella and everybody knew it. But for black men there can't be any justice. Just like in Monster and TKAM, the jurors had one look at the person on trial and, already knew that they were guilty. If there wasn't any prejudice, there wouldn't be any violence. They’re wouldn't people killing other people because there, the color of their skin. What if people were colored orange? Would you kill them too? Nope because justice cannot be found anywhere. You're already, judged by the color of your

    The two texts that are to be studied are Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley and In Cold Blood with the author Truman Capote.

    A theme in “To Kill A Mockingbird,” could be that you should never judge a person by their color. The way people were judge affected Tom Robinson’s trial because all colored people were treated differently than white people back in the day. Reverend Sykes explained to Jem; “I ain't ever seen any jury decide in favor of a colored man over a white man” (Lee 279). Tom was not going to be charged with the crime. This is because everything that was said on his half proved that he was innocent but judges never choose a colored man over a white man. Further, Tom Robinson was not able to win the trial because he is a colored man. The judge got the piece of paper and says “ ‘Guilty… guilty… guilty… guilty…’ “(Lee 282). The color of Tom’s skin changed…

    In many novels throughout literature, enemies often share striking similarities. They push and pull at each other to the point where they lead to the each others undoing, yet they share tremendous likeness.

There is a power struggle between the two adversaries, which leads to both Frankenstein, and his creature ending up alone.

The infatuation with discovery and creation is evident in the main character, Victor Frankenstein, and his pursuit of knowledge…

    Harper Lee, the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird," left behind a massive legacy. Her book sold more than 40 million copies since it was published in 1960, and Americans rank it among the most influential books they've read. But after more than 50 years and millions of classrooms lessons, some of its central lessons still, at least at times, go unheard. the same racial prejudices that led to Robinson's conviction are thriving, if in more subtle ways, in courtrooms today. It is not unknown that black defendants are more likely to be convicted of crimes than white defendants, and that people found guilty of murdering white victims are significantly more likely to be sentenced to death than those who murder blacks. Defendants with more stereotypically…

    The Romantic era took place throughout the 19th century and held the belief that men demonstrate innate goodness, but civilization later corrupts them. Even in today’s society, many political figures, authors, celebrities, and athletes reinforce the Romantic idea of the natural goodness of man and the corruption of man by civilization as they initially exhibit pure values that succumb to the temptations civilization provides. Literature also reflects the belief of the innate goodness of man and the corruption of man by society. For example, Mary Shelley, entails these Romantic beliefs in her novel Frankenstein, in which both Victor Frankenstein and the Creature are born innately good but society later corrupts them. Victor’s,…

    “Racism and injustice and violence sweep our world, bringing a tragic harvest of heartache and death,” Billy Graham once said. In Harper Lee’s novel “To Kill A Mockingbird Atticus is a father and a lawyer, who lives with his children, Jem and Scout, and their cook, Calpurnia, in a town of Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb is a town populated with black and white people, where racism is apparent. White people feel they are superior than the black people and treat them poorly. Racism is evident when Tom Robinson lost the trial to Bob Ewell, because he was black, even though he is innocent. People were also being judged on appearance, or being treated improperly, like how people see the kind of person Boo Radley is in the beginning of the story.
