Frankenstein

Frankenstein
In 1817, Mary Shelley, her husband, and her friends went to Switzerland for a holiday. There was a terrible
storm one night while they were there. It rained and there was a lot of thunder and lightning. Mary Shelley and
her friends could not go outside. So, they decided to sit inside and tell ghost stories. Each person told a story,
but Mary Shelley could not think of a story to tell.
That night, while Mary Shelley was in bed, she thought of a story. The story scared her. The next day, she
decided to begin to write the story she thought of. One year later, when she was nineteen years old, she finished
writing her story. She called her new book Frankenstein.
Many people think Frankenstein is one of the best stories ever written. It is one of the first science fiction
books. In the book a scientist creates a man. The scientist became afraid of the man he created and calls him a
monster. Later, the monster kills the scientist and his family. It is a story about man, science, and responsibility.
There have been many movies made about the Frankenstein monster. Most of these movies are very different
from the book. While many of the movies are for children, the book by Mary Shelley is for adults.
