Photograph
This photo was based on the 18th century industrial revolution period. In the photo people are dancing, listening to music and ignoring the fact that they are creating a monster which is Frankenstein. Frankenstein is moving in this picture and laughing symbolizing how all the technology and factories and machines we use are disguised as good when in reality they create pollution and are a danger to our environment. In the picture Jonathan is still enjoying the moment, since Industrialization is all about the moment, not even considering the effect it will have later on. On the other hand Nohemi is starting to notice the monster living in front of her and is surprised but she keeps dancing symbolizing how we ignore all the warnings the environment has given us.
This portrait is supposed to take place in a lab were the monster is being created. There is equations in the back, papers thrown all over, tools, a computer, and boxes covered in aluminum to create a scientific background.

Make and Break
We have come a long way in technology. Most of our technological breakthroughs occurred during the industrial revolution. We went from rowboats to steamboats, wagons to cars and we even invented the train, all of which was transportation. But we had also invented factories to increase production, and we even migrated to different cities for the technology. But all this came with a price as well as in the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. In the book Dr. Victor Frankenstein wanted to create something that would change the world. But it came at a price as well as our inventions that made our world today. For the invention of a steamboat or a car it gave us a way to travel a great distance at a great amount of speed, but all this came with a consequence. We have consecrated the world with pollution from our motorized vehicles. We gave smog and added to the greenhouse gasses. The creation of factories thus giving us faster production had also given us children working at an unreasonable age and a hazardous working confinement. The creation of a monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein demonstrates the creation and consequence of the Industrial Revolution.
The book Frankenstein relates to what went through in the Industrial Revolution. It is about a scientist who creates life through his knowledge of technology. What Dr. Victor Frankenstein wanted to do is invent or create something that has never been done before (Shelley 34). So in doing so learned and researched about how he would create life. Then after getting his mind set he begins to put his dream to the test. On a stormy night in November a wretched monster was brought to life. As soon as the monster is given life he escapes and runs off into the darkness (55). But thus creating life it came with a severe long term consequence. Soon after Victor travels to Geneva only to find out his little brother was murdered (80-81). Then Victor soon learns that it was the monster that escaped that night was the murderer. As his creation came with a consequence so did those that were created during the industrial revolution. After so many tragedies set by the monster the beast offers a deal. The monster speaks of the brutal things done to him, the horrors he comes across, and how he lives his life in reverence and fear. The deal for Victor was to bring life to a monster of the opposite gender. One the monster can love and mate with, another monster that will ease his pain and share life with him forever. As soon as the deal would be completed he would go away never to trouble anyone else and let Victor live in peace (177). But after working diligently creating a mate for the creature Victor realizes that it would be the same as when he created his first monster. The female beast would have no boundaries and would still be treated as a savage and end up taking lives until it begins to think as the monster before. So without a second thought he destroys his work, thus breaking the deal (205). The monster was only infuriated and swore revenge on his creator. So in search of another close relative of Victor he continues on and murders his future wife, Elizabeth (241). After taking humiliation and pain Victor now swore to hunt down and destroy his rival so he set out on a long endless chase around the world (Shelley 251). After the long journey he finally meets his final days and soon passes away in the room of a friend. A friend he had just met. The monster is present at the death of his creator and weeps for what he had done, he weeps for forgiveness (269-275). The message given is that even with incredible inventions it will always have some kind of consequence, or long term problem as demonstrated in the Industrial Revolution. The author also implies that even with the creations made in the industrial revolution that there can still be reconciliation.
Factory Production and Child Labor
The Industrial Revolution brought many positive effects such as an increase of production by factories but also brought a negative effect which was child labor. Factories are very hazardous for just about anyone. Children could work at the earliest age of five and latest age to about fifteen (Cody). They are even paid very low wages, a child would be paid about one shilling and they would even work for 16 hours a day (Cody). But parents don’t just put their child into laboring; the children that work are those from the streets and even orphanages.
Not only is working in a factory horrendous and even hazardous but if a child would work to slow or slack off they would be beaten by the owners. The monster would receive similar treatment of being beaten but not because he would slack off but because they thought of him as an abomination. Such hazards in the factories could injure a child or even killing them on the job (Child labor in Factories). The treatment in factories was quite cruel and very unusual, as was the treatment given to the Frankenstein monster when he would wander about. A child’s safety was often neglected, the people that the kids worked for would be verbally abused, beaten and would take to consideration for their safety. If a child laborer would be late to work he would be punished by something called weighted (Child labor in Factories). Being weighted means the owner would tie a weight around the child’s neck and having him or her walk down the aisle for the other kids to see, to show an example if you’re late. This punishment could last up to even an hour and cause dramatic injury to the neck and or their back. Another type of cruel and unusual punishment would be for the boys, they would often be dragged naked through the factory only holding their clothes to be put on in front of others (Child labor in Factories). This was to imprint the thought of never being late even by a few minutes. So even though we have gained a quicker way to mass produced goods, and other useful parts we have gained under aged laborers.
Even if this is a major problem before and maybe even now it still can be fixed. Now child labor is illegal in most countries. But even so many people disobey the law. Organizations are even formed to prevent children on the streets from working. Organizations put the children into a home or even with a nice family. This prevents the children from ever working underage and being abused by business owners. But as always there are still those in need of money who have to settle for a job. In some countries child labor is not noticed at its fullest and is even ignored at times. But this is only a small step to reconcile what was done during the industrial revolution.
Smog and Pollute
We have also gained a better way of transportation such as cars and trains but we have also distributed smog and pollution. Cars produce smog from exhaust because fuel is being burned in the process thus creating a black smoke that rises into the ozone layer. For instance coal was used to heat the water that would power the steam engines; this would power the industries machines and transport systems such as a railway. But huge amounts of carbon molecules would be released into the air. So the combination of smoke and the fog would create smog (Almodovar). Even though transportation was a positive gain from the industrial revolution a negative gain was the smog, this would cause death in thousands due to the respiratory disease (Almodovar). This also relates to the positive, negative gain in the book. The positive gain was that life was brought to another human being. But the negative effect was that one life was made but many lives were lost. One example was in London, it was the Great Smog of London. It occurred in 1952 and killed more than four thousand people (Almodovar). But not only was the pollution caught in the air but it also involved the water. Water was also one major polluted resource because factories ended up dumping toxic waste into the river ways polluting rivers and which the rivers end in (Almodovar). Since the pollution of water was about drinking water would cause water-borne disease such as cholera and typhoid (Almodovar). We have come so far from the Industrial revolution, we have gained so much more ways of transportation such as trains, trolleys, cars, boats and even a subway but all of this wasn’t free it came with a price, that price was a long term effect that made our world what it is today. It gave us smog and pollution, polluted air, polluted water and even our polluted lungs.
Now that pollution is brought it can also be fixed. The damage done cannot be reversed but it can be further prevented. Solar power is one thing that can reduce pollution. A solar power car that runs only on little fuel and powered mostly by energy is another way to reduce risk in the world. Even more ways to purify water so it is able to drink are made. Many solutions are being born now that we are in a new era of the industrial revolution.
As We Grew We Moved
As technology grew people would migrate to other cities, this would cause an over populated city creating urbanization. This was the longest lasting and had the most significant impacts of the industrial revolution (Sexton). The population would begin top migrate to other cities because of the technology. Many workers would be out of the job because of machines that replace human jobs. These machines would increase work speed and would not tire after a great deal of continuous work. So soon mass migration would occur they would migrate to one city in search for a job (Affect of the Industrial Revolution and Urbanization). Even people form other countries come into towns out of a job looking for work. In a rapid growth in population there are a lot of problems that occur from this such as an increase in death rates. Some other problems would be over crowding along with poor sanitation (Affect of the Industrial Revolution and Urbanization). This greatly affected the poverty stricken and led to diseases.
Today there are many ways to reduce population count. Some of which can be quite cruel. One way to reduce overpopulation is reduced birth rates. For instance you could limit the child count per family. But also even though the world is already over populated we cans till make do with what has already happened. It is really how we treat the overpopulation. Its all about how the people around us take overpopulation in their own hands. Even though there is not much to do now we cans till make our future better.
Big Win or Big Loss?
In all we have grown so much in our technology from the start of the industrial revolution to the end. We still grow today; our technology will never cease to expand through the years. But even though we have gained so much from the industrial revolution our inventions had left us long term impacts on society and the world we live in today. With every new breakthrough there was a consequence. We gained the car but we gave our world smog, we invented factories to produce at a much quicker rate, but the children are the workers. Even though we may have thought to gain so much that we never think about how it hurt us. Our water was clean, and then factories dumped toxic waste into them. Even if it was in one small portion water travels and eventually pollute other bodies of water. Dr. Victor Frankenstein gained much from his studies and the creation of the monster. But in doing so he gained much more loss and pain rather than happiness or leisure. Even he had a scientific breakthrough he lost more than he gained; he lost his wife, brother, father and even himself. Same as the world today we gained so much but we lost even more. Even so that the damage is taken slowly it will eventually be more than what we bargained for. So at first we gained more than we lost, but now we lost more than we ever gained. But it still can change over the course of time. Each generation can affect the world today. More and more solutions are being brought upon and being put into action. If solutions keep arising then problem will keep diminishing. Actions are being made to save the world for further generations to come. What is done in the past is done it is the present and the future we must look to now.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Quote: "But it is true I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept,and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing. I have devoted my creator, the select specimen of all that is worth thy love and admiration among men, to misery; I have pursued him even to that irremediable ruin. There he lies, white and cold in death. You hate me; but your abhorrence cannot equal that with which i regard myself. I look at the hands which executed the deed; i think on the heart in which the imagination of it was conceived, and long moment when they will meet my eyes, when it will haunt my thoughts, no more."
Question: All of a sudden why does he regret ever leading Victor Frankenstein on a journey of a wild goose chase? Why does he regret what he had seeked for all along, revenge?
Comment: It is a very dramatic change in the story now that the Frankenstein monster now received his revenge but is sorry. He is filled with guilt now that he had lead Victor Frankenstein to his death by provoking, and destroying Victors life. The climax has now change my thoughts about the Frankenstein monster and his nature towards others and his creator. I now know he has sympathy for his creator and is filled with guilt to the point of which he wishes to never had sought revenge.

van Agtmael, Antione. "Industrial Revolution 2.0." 40-46(2007):
This cite practically went over the cell phone revolution use. It also explained how some companies took complete control of some industries and what countries they were from. This was useful, they stated, "Emerging markets now control the bulk of the world's foreign exchage reserves & energy resources". It went form industrial revolutions to environmental revolutions thanks to the industries.

Frankenstein by: Mary Shelly
The book that I am reading is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This book was about a scientist who went on a voyage to search the world. Then he meets an unlikely man when his ship was stuck in a frozen wasteland. The man he met was Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Then once meeting him and making him feel welcome Dr. Victor Frankenstein speaks about a story of his life. It was known that before he was in pursuit of another man who was far ahead. Then Dr. Victor Frankenstein goes into speaking of his story to the voyager. Then going into the story he creates a monster that comes to life and walks away.
