Blake again

So as I was assimilating a web page for class, I decided to do one over Blake. His artwork was something I was unfamiliar with before now. He is an amazing painter, make that artist. The mystical elements of his work and the religious undertones make you ponder god and spirituality. Blake is really my new favorite person of the week, dead or alive.

Great Expectations

I have always loved this book from the first time I read it. Growing up in situations that really parallel Pip and his life, I found myself able to be lost in the story. I have always had great expectations, and I think that most people do. I think that the unspoken truth of this novel is that it is what you do with what your given that determines who you become.

Frankenstein

After reading Frankenstein I couldn't help but think of the people our society deems "creatures".
I ponder the evolution of what is deemed the moral limit of science. When researching the story of Prometheus I was drawn to the relevance today. Prometheus meaning forethought, who stole fire from Zeus and then gave it to man before man was ready to handle its power. This is much like science today, cresting the limits of creation, not quite sure of its power. With our lack of ability to deal with race, sexual preference or even marriage, how can we think we are ready to deal with consequences and ramifications of what we are presently creating in laboratories all over the world.
