"Oliver Twist" Charles Dickens

If you believe in fate, you shouldn't run. It will get you no matter what you do.
This is the reason why I picked this picture. I believe Dickens imagined Oliver after seeing so many children hoping for a better life without having the opportunity to do anything to change what they had.
In those times, children were considered and viewed as “small men”. Due to the fact that Modernity was changing what was known as “city”, children needed to be part of the society in all terms. You must find something to do and be useful or you would be one of those sitting outside the building and never stand again.
Young thieves were his friends, but he had the gift to see through people’s eyes. So, after everything he experienced during his time in London, at the end he was truthful and gentle with who took care of him.
Part of the movie seemed obvious. I was hoping to see some changes throughout the plot. However, and after expecting that he was discovered and saved, I was glad to see him as a young smart boy in the final scenes.
We do not deserve happiness; we have the right to experience it. Oliver Twist had a life that nobody wants for our kids; nevertheless he obtained what we all wish for: live a happy life and be loved.

"The signal man" Charles Dickens

Does a person who live isolated be remembered when he dies??

The signal man is one of those people who live by himself, doing his job. His responsibility was over the top; not only to give way to the trains, moreover to prevent accidents from happening. After the visit of this misterious person/ghost, the signalman clearly focusses his purpose of life to avoid certain situations that can cause harm to others; worrying about his job obsessively.

Do these ideas seem real??

Nowadays we are living in a world which promotes and permits individuality. We can communicate with each other but not by talking; a phone call, an email or a SMS. For instance, this person was living something we experience day after day: people doing their job, being more worried about the task than the people who they relate with.

The story is very descriptive and makes you think. However, I am not thinking in how Dickens portrait his reality into this story (neither Modernity). I am more interested in the way this story can be applied into situations we live everyday.

To improve our way of living, we need to start by caring about others. This caring must be based on respect but also truth. I am sure we can make a better world. The problem is: we have not created a "we", yet.

"Frankenstein" Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley was not known as the owner of this master piece. The only aspect that did not allow her to say from the beginning that she created Frankenstein was that she was a woman.
She had a really difficult like and her family was very unusual. She was raised in an environment that allowed her to dream and create new characters and new ideas taken from what she could see and think.
I believe one of the main feelings that she developed in this novel is the relationship between love and family. Victor gave life to a creature that did not know anything about this world, and when he saw him for the first time, he rejected him. In these days this act is penalized by law; any parent who does this is rejected by the society and punish by the law. Nobody has the right to give life to a creature and then live it alone. So, this makes me wonder....was this usual in M. Shelley's time?? Was maternity seen in a different way in those times? were men involved in this process?
I started reading Frankenstein without knowledge about the novel. I've never watched a movie neither read a book. So, at the beginning was only a descriptive way of reading. However, after sharing experiences and ideas with my classmates I saw how much feelings arouse from me when thinking in this creature being born without a family and being raised by himself.
Maternity is something that must be taken seriously in order to have in the future better people to change this world.

"I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD" W. Wordsworth,

The first image that comes into my mind is a colorful summer day in the woods. I am glad to acknowledge that happiness is also a good topic to write about. This is why I believe this part of the poem: "A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company" is kind of ironic. Wordsworth demonstrates by this writing that he can do it. He can be the one to open nature to poetry, to show those colorful feelings that he sees in his life. We need in this world more of these writers to improve our living style and the relationships with other human beings.

I am not sure about what daffodils mean, but it is one of the things which provokes him happiness and joy. I see more than feel. My eyes worked better than my heart with the colorful images that he described and I interpreted.

I am happy to find out that there are many common objects that provokes feeling into sensitive people such as Wordsworth.
