Examine the way the author writes, considering word choice, point of view, structure, special techniques (i.e., symbolism).I really liked the way Shelley told the story from different points of view. She made the story whole by telling what Victor thought and what the creature thought. I also liked the way she didnt just dive refine into the central story, but laid out an outer frame. Shelley tries to mak e an slow read story by telling it from all angles and makes it a little different with the story inside of the story.4.

If you did have to pause in the affectionateness of the story it was easily picked up again without rereading sections a couple times.
