Frankestein!!! (1818-2018) 200 years!!!





Let´s read the story! (¡Leeamos la historia!)

 Frankestein
The story goes way back to the year 1818.  Mary Shelley was in Italy at that time. One night, Mary Shelley had a particularly memorable dream, a horrifying dream, a real nightmare in which she had a vision of a terrible monster created by using body parts from different people. Mary later wrote that she awoke from the dream in the middle of the night, too scared to go back to sleep and she told herself: “What terrified me, will terrify others”. The next day, she sat down and started to write and in a matter of weeks she had finished the story of that monster. A monster assembled by a crazy doctor named Frankestein.  Frankestein, the book became a 19th century best seller and in the 20th century more than a hundred films were made based on Frankestein. And that is the story of the legendary monster that was born in a dream.

    If I remembered a dream of terror I would not write it, I would try to forget it.

    If we go to the movies we can see a comedy because I don't like horror movies.

    I would not watch that movie. It's terrible.

    If Mary Shelley had not written her dream she would not have been famous

    Do you like horror films? Yes I love them
    Do you remember any horror stories?
    There is one that happened in the forests of Ezeiza, in the Don Bosco sports center. In the center of its forests many years ago there was a madhouse, one year that burned completely and no body was found, the people there disappeared and burned for unexplained reasons, it was never known what caused it ... Today the ruins, ashes of that asylum, were left in the middle of the forest and for years they remained there, it is said that if someone walks near these, they become paralyzed, and strange things happen to this same one, a place kilometers from the campsites. I know this since I am an Explorer and these stories are told, sometimes to scare the boys, but it does not take away the fact that they are real.

    Who is Mary Shelley? Who had the dream, and created this story.
    What's the doctor's name? Frankestein
    What's the name of the monster? Frankestein
    How old is the monster? 202 years
    Why did Mary Shelley decide to write the novel? It was a dream that terrified her and she decided to share it
    When did the book become a best seller? it started in the 19th century and in the 20th century it was released to the cinema
