Frankenstein vs. Edward Scissorhands
My First Draft The extraordinary novel made by Mary Shelley, first published, in 1818 amidst a world of changing perspectives. Since then Frankenstein was made into many novels and films.

In contrast, Pegs family and the neighbourhood lived in a bright coloured village so that the place was filled with joy and happiness. Also, in Edwards room, Edward had cut out pictures of people with disabilities and placed them onto the wall.

The main type of discrimination used is appearance. Edward is called many names throughout the movie, for example, ''freak'', ''cripple'' or ''lose you to
