Frankenstein Novel
This book deals with adult and sensitive themes • Violence including strangulation and violence towards animals • Frightening and horrific descriptions (it is, after all, a horror book) • Religious themes are found throughout (and will be discussed in an academic sense) • Mentions drugs to aid sleep • These areas will be approached with maturity, sensitivity, care, and as a learning opportunity • It should be noted that I cannot control the perspectives of all members of the class, however, I will hold students to respectfulness and acceptance of their peers
