"I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together"  ~Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts is a famous actress who has had her share of relationships.  Consider the theme of relationships in Frankenstein and discuss the author's use or intent.  Also, discuss what you have come to understand about relationships at this point in your life.  What has been the most significant relationship you have had to date?  It does not have to necessarily be with a significant other or a "physical" relationship.  It could be your relationship with a friend, parent, school etc.

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

~ Steve Jobs

Keeping Job's statement in mind, discuss the concept of thinking and acting for yourself.  What influences exist in your life that can impact how you live?  How do these outside factors influence your thoughts, actions and experiences?
