Time Flies! by Jessica Danial

For our table projects this week, my group chose to do the play "Time Flies". It is a comedic drama about two may flies who find out they only have one day to live. Although it was very funny with its puns, satire and sexual allusions, the play reveals a real life message to the audience : Time Flies! It pretty much tells us to make the most of it and to not waste your time with apologies, regrets, and fear...if you have one day left, go to Paris! Well not specifically Paris but make the most of your time and do the things you dream to do. This especially relates to us this year because we are graduating high school and are about to start new lives, so we should make the most out of our last year and live it up (wisely of course).

Frankenstein Reading Response

Right now, the relationship between Frankenstein and his creature is like that between a teen mom and her baby. Frankenstein has no idea what the responsobilities were for his creature and is way over his head; yet, he went on with his creation. now that the monster is born, Frankenstein is overwhelmed and wants to do away with it. The monster on the other hand, has conflicting feelings-- his creator wants to kill him, what should he do? The relationship between the two is complicated. Also, this draws upon the issue of abortion. should people be able to get rid of what has already been created? or should one just take responsibility for one's action.
