Admittedly, it's certainly possible. I admit I didn't actually finish Frankenstein, but Module A was probably my best module. :shy: That being said, I would definitely not recommend it, as there really is no substitute for first hand knowledge of the text. And by first hand knowledge, I don't mean Wikipedia and Sparknotes. ;)
Wow lol how did that happen?

EDIT: And why do so many people don't finish Frankenstein (or maybe I'm wrong)? Is it hard to read or something?

I didn't finish Frankenstein either, and though I did okay in those parts of the course, I was never confident in my responses.

Please try and work through it though!

I didn't read it earlier in the year (like about now). However, I understood the module quite well, and just adapted my essay based on the rubric - answering how despite changes in time, underlying themes have been constant. And I really enjoyed writing about it. In fact, I probably would've read the book, however, it was around Trials, and I was stressing out about Physics (my worst subject), and I never really got around to reading Frankenstein.

well I finished my assessment.
and I have 750 words for it.
however, the assessment sheet says STRICTLY 500 WORDS

so what should i do?
cut it down?
or hope that the teacher won't realise that I'm over the word limit?

if I make the font extra extra small, the teacher won't realise, will he?

EDIT: 650 words, will they realise? keep cutting?

I've organised my stationary for next term (<3), summarized ancient text book, but other than that.. nothing. Getting a timetable prepared, so i guess i will follow that rigorously after i finish it. Driving to Queensland in the holidays too. 17 Hour drive. Parents think it would be good 'bonding' time or some bs. Seriously, planes were invented for a reason, lol. Definitely an opportunity for some essays for English though :D
