Check out the "Project Exhibition Essay" in the middle of the page for the Frankenstein connection.

Remember, I’ll be looking over your reading journals tomorrow.

There was a brief mention in class today about a conservative=conformist/ liberal=rebel bias.  While I don’t such a strict division could be accurate (there are no absolutes when discussing humans), it made me think of this video from TED.com.  We’ll talk about it tomorrow in class.

Or maybe Wednesday; we have a lot to discuss.

After you watch, you might want to check out YourMorals.org to see where you rank.
