Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is the worst book EVER

The 'classic' by Mary Shelly, is called Frankenstein. 
and it is the worst book I ever read this year.
Breaking down was the worst book I ever read last year. (yes, yes you are right. I did love Twilight and became a huge Edward fan but Breaking down was BAD. )

4 reasons why Frankenstein is horrible. 


1. Mary writes her sentences ridiculously long. 
ex)

  • I supposed some astonishment was exhibited in my countenance, for Mr. Kirwin hastened to say, "Immediately upon your being taken ill, all the papers that were on your person were brought me, and I examined them that I might discover some trace by which I discovered from its commencement to be from your father. I instantly wrote to Geneva; nearly two months have elapsed since the departure of my letter. But you are ill; even now you tremble; you are unfit for agitaion of any kind"
Okay. Mr. Kirwin talks a lot. It took me like 5 minutes to understand what the word Kirwin is talking about. 
If I was Mary, I would have written 
  • "I received a letter from your father so I replied."
HOW SIMPLE AND BETTER IS THAT?


2. I hate it when she describes the view of Mount Blac and the beauty of Swiss. BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT.  
I hate descriptions.
SERIOUSLY. I don't know if it's only me, but I can't picture anything she says
ex)

  • We saw many ruined castles standing on the edges of precipices, surrounded by black woods, high and inaccessible. This part of the Rhine, indeed, presents a singularly variegated landscape. With the dark Rhine rushing beneath; and on the sudden turn of a promontory, flourishing vineyards with green sloping banks and a meandering river and populous towns occupy the scene
  • I have visited the lakes of Lucerne and Uri, where the snowy mountains descend almost perpendicularly to the water, casting black and impenetrable shades, which would cause a gloomy and mornful appearance were it not for the most verdant islands that relieve the eye by their gay appearance; I have seen this lake aagitated by a tempest, when the wind tor up whirlwinds of water and gave you an idea of what the water-spout must be on the great ocean; and the waves dash with fury the base of the mountain, where the priest and his mistress were overwhelmed by an avalanche and where their dying voices are still said to be heard amid the pauses of the nightly wind; I have seen the mountains of La Balais, and the Pays de Baud; but his country, Victor, pleases me more than all those wonders. 

3. Nothing is so exciting about the book. 
Don't read.. unless you finished the book because I am gonna spoil it 
Okay. Basically, in 5 sentences,
1. Victor Frankenstein creates a monster.
2. The monster asks Victor to make him a female monster.
3. The monster kills everyone (which is only 4 people) that Victor knows because Victor didn't make the female monster
4. Victor seeks for revenge to the monster
5. Victor dies while seeking for revenge in Antarctica.
6. EXCITING AND TENSE RIGHT?


SERIOUSLY.
I never felt so bored. while reading a book.
For instance, when I was reading Twilight, I read with excitement of how perfect Edward is. And I dreamed how amazing it would be to have Edward in real life. And wanted learn how Bella handles with cute males.
But in this ... Frankenztein book, it's SOOOO OBVIOUS THAT EVERYONE WOULD DIE.
seriously.
I wasn't slightly shocked when I read in the end that Victor died.
-.-
DUHHHHHHHHH!

ugh. Also, Frankenstein is mentally a hard book to digest.
if you see the vocabulary she uses to describe, it's just... so English-ly.

  • Mr.Kirwin came in and insisted that my strength should not be exhasusted by too much exertions. 
  • The season of the assizes approached
  • We were not allowed to converse for any length of time, for the precarious state of my health rendered every precaution necessary that could ensure tranquillity 
I have tons and TONS of example of Mary writing sentences with fancy fancy words. 
Actually, the WHOLE BOOK IS AN EXAMPLE. 

I hate Mary Shelley. 
I hate her books. 
I hate how the monster has no name.
I hate how the book is so boring. and talks and talks about how Mount Blanc is beautiful and how Swiss is amazing. 
I hate how she always puts those boring and meaningless description about EVERYTHING
I hate how she writes her sentences really long when it basically means "I created the monster which killed everyone I knew(4 people)
I hate how this book got to be a best-seller during her time
I hate Victor. -.- 
I feel sorry for the wife of Victor 
I hate how Victor doesn't kill the monster with a PISTOL 
I hate how the book ends with Victor dying
I hate the beginning part of the book (when this guys writes to his sister)
I hate EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BOOK. 

and guess what I found 
there is a page called 'I hate the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley' 
there are only 41 likes but I am sure it means 41K

About

the story sucks and frankly, she uses vocaublar that sounds like she raped the dictionary.
HAHAHAHAHAH

Happy Jewish new year~~

In Israel, there are diverse holidays.
and today, is rosh hashanah~ it's the Jewish new year. Well to be exact, today is the eve of Rosh hashanah
Fortunately, our family was invited to a dinner at our neighbour's :D 








that was my favourite dish 
 
a lot of bread.... was eaten... :P and the breads were HUGEEE
also, I thought you only dip apple in honey but you also dip bread inside. 
and then someone said 
"can you pass me a honey, honey?"
 
I also love the corn thingy


thanks Edna and Naty 
geez, I miss my cousins and relatives ! 
hope to see them in 2 years.... 
geez. 
two years. 
i need to stay more in israel 
i love israel 
i really do.
but i miss korea too
:s
my friends! 
alsdkjfaldkjfa;ldskjfa;lsdkjfas;ldkjfa;sdlkjfa;sdlkfj
wait until i get into a good university...

anyway, 
Edna and Naty is going to New Zealand for a month 
have a safe trip! :D

Princess diary #1

This book took me a while, like three weeks? to finish it.
mostly because I had lots of things going on past two weeks...
But usually, princess diaries takes me like three days to finish because I can't fall asleep unless I finish the book.
SO. I FINISHED IT.
AND WATCHED THE MOVIE ON YOUTUBE
However, I was quite.. unhappy? how the movie was very different from the book.
;(
it made me sad.
because I really was looking forward.
But I guess you can't make a movie exactly like the original book.

there really wasn't a 'quote' in the book I really liked.
because you see,
I didn't like this book much as I did on the 7th book.

So the first volume, is basically about Mia realizing? that she is a princess of Genovia.
btw, Genovia isn't a real country.. hahha I thought it was. So I googled it and I turned out to be wrong lol

anyway,
What I don't fully understand is WHY WHY WHY isn't MIA EXCITED TO BE A PRINCESS?
if I was her, and my mum tells me about it when I am 15, I would be like dancing in joy and asking where the palace is. But Mia is different. :(
the book could have been better if Mia was happy.
it could have described about the high royal life..
I think I watched too much Gossip girl..
So it's my goal to go to AMERICA then NEW YORK then Manhattan then to upper east side...

But I like the ending of the book.
It's really sweet.
But if you think about it, Mia dates Michael for 8 years...
since there are 8 sequels of the Princess Diaries...
that's a bit scary.
nvm
I am not even sure if they date in the second book..
but in the 7th book they definitely do.

hey everyone.
this is my descriptive essay. it's horrible.
but I like the ending.



Freaked out from its surroundings, her fur spiked up and leaped outside by the window instead of using the dog door. With the weather gloomy, she continued to roam around Private drive 4 and wished Hagrid to arrive soon to take Harry. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

...
sorry.
xoxo gossip girl

Meg Cabot Princess on the Brink volume 7

Princess Diaries are one of my favourite book series after Harry potter and the series of unfortunate events.
I am going to write down the most amazing quotes.

1. "How do you intend to keep your tiaras on with nothing for the combs to dig into?" Grandmere wanted to know. Which is actually a good point.

2. Everything is so simple in Tinaland. I so wish I lived there instead of here, in the cruel, cold real world.

3. "Yes" I said. "I do. Because I love Michael and if I can't be with him, I'd rather not be with any boy." Boris just shook his head sadly. "That's what all the couples in my orchestra say," he said. "And eventually, one of them gets tired of sitting in their room. Next thing you know, they've hooked up with a clarinetist. There's always a clarinetist"
(seriously, how more random can clarinetist be?.. lol soooo random!)


4. "Dad." I blinked at him. "Michael didn't break up with me. At least if that's what you meant by that speech you just gave me."
"He didn't?" Dad stopped looking so pleased. "Oh. Well, what did he do then?"
"He-well, remember when you flew back to Genovia with me and we watched the lord of the rings during the flight?"
"Yes" Dad raised his eyebrows. "Are you telling me Michael's come into possession of the One Ring?"
"No," I said. I couldn't believe he was trying to make a joke out of it. "But he's trying to prove himself to the elf king, like Aragorn."
"Who's the king?"Dad wanted to konw, like he genuinely didn't know.
"Dad, YOU'RE the elf king."
"Really? Dad adjusted his tie, looking pleased again.
Then he stopped. "Wait...my ears aren't pointy. Are they?"
I didn't understand this part. so I MUST WATCH THE MOVIE OR READ THE BOOK


5. "Mia," Dad said, shaking his head. "it's out of the question. I'm very please for Michael-I always thought he had potential. But I am not going to spend millions of dollars building some robotics laboratory so you can fritter away eleventh grade necking with your boyfriend instead of passing Precalculus."
Mia enjoys smelling her boyfriend's neck...


6. "Right, that he was like the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, unused to human love, and uncertain how to react to it. Well, guess what? Tina was wrong. It wasn't that he didn't know how to react. He just didn't love me back, and he didn't want to hurt my feelings by telling me so. So he just led me on, all these months."

7. When you're already at rock bottom, nothing hurts anymore.

I started to panic and grabbed google and Nose. 
It turns out Google had it.

After school MUN 
... so.. 
you see, I have a problemio
a HUGE DILEMMA 
BETWEEN community hour and MUN...
You see, when you help for the Time MUN, you get 30 hours of community hours. 
WHICH IS A LOT 
FOR 3 DAYS 
WHEN YOU DON'T REALLY DO MUCH EXCEPT HAND OUT NOTES AND PASS THEM AROUND. 
and I want 100 hours this year. 
but there is noooo way for me to just get that hour... without the Time MUN thingy 
:(
But! I want to be part of the MUN...
so... like... 
aldasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I didn't get a chance to talk today... 
mostly because when I think of a question in my head and is about to ask it, the chair says "Please kneel back to the chair" 
which means that the person who was standing in the podium needs to move out. 

after AFTER SCHOOL 
I went back to school at 6:45 to help with the open house 
ugh 
it's a lot of work you know... 
also, not many people actually came to the event. 
and I had the best? job 
I just sat infront of the desk in the auditorium 
and helped people when they got mixed up where the music room and the art room is.
I also started to read the two moons
but I am a bit confused. 
because there is a story inside a story 
and the story settings change because the narriator is... telling the story... 
and all.. and stuf... annd.. stuff... 
but I am sure it's a good book 
because 3 people told me that it is. 

geez, I wrote long for once 
but not really funny.. right? 
I will try to imporove. 
ALOS 


VOTE FOR YEJUN FOR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE..

wait that sounds grammer-tic-ally wrong

computer

My computer is going wild. 
But I fixed it... 
and I doubt that there would be any chance for me to get a new laptop because persuading my father is quite impossible. 


Chemistry 
I took a test today -.-
I think I got something like 82~89. 
I think
I was scared.. because Mrs. S expects A LOT from Koreans.. 
And I am not a 'Korean' that gets all As.. and all... 
PE. 
GUESS WHAT! ONE MORE SWIMMING CLASS LEFT! 
yayayayayayyyy
But it's VolleyBall unit after... 
I don't know if I should be singing of joy or not. :s
English
We took the writing test thingy 
It's this test we take so the teachers will know how to teach us write. 
I managed to write the draft well. but like at the end of the time, I was like 'why bother' 
and then started to act lazy... 
and ... the scary? part of this English test thingy is that.. 
for the final draft, we are going to write it online on a document. 
and.. there will be no spell check. 
omg what am i going to do . 
Lunch
I brought the Korean snacks that my dear friend sent from Koreaaa
I was so excited when I received the mail. But I wanted to share with others because 
sharing doubles the happiness
lol 
and, after living in Israel for 2 years not eating any Korean snacks, I feel sick when I eat Korean snack.. So yah ... 
History 
Okay, today was the BESTTTTTTTT history class ever. 
To be honest, I didn't really like Mr. S's class because he jokes so often. 
But today, ALL his jokes made me laugh. 
I wasn't specially in a good mood, but he made me laugh :
Also, He speaks fast.

Having Anna as my friend helped me this. lol Americans talk amazingly fast. And from being her friend for like 2years, I now can't stand when people talk slowly. especially when my parents talk 
english well.. it's more like Korean english 

Anyway, I enjoyed history class. 
After school at homemomom
Judi got me Icecream MUHAHAHA
I love Icecream.... 
Judi came out from the shop feeling sick from eating too much. 
I came out from the shop feeling hyper and happy from eating icecream <3 
Icecream is my life.

Class Rep

I am squeezing my brain juice out to make a absolutely wonderful class representative speech. 
And it's a mega-fail. 
I don't know how to make it funny and serious at the same time. And... it's hard to even write one. :(  
I really need a good funny interesting speech to get elected for the class representative. 
Because that's the only weapon I have. 


I realize I haven't wrote an actual post for like two weeks.
