My father looked carelessly at the title page of my book, and said, "Ah! Cornelius Agrippa! My dear Victor, do not waste your time upon this it is sad trash." A new light seemed to dawn upon my mind and, bounding with joy, I communicated my discovery to my father. I opened it with apathy the theory which he attempts to demonstrate, and the wonderful facts which he relates, soon changed this feeling into enthusiasm. In this house I chanced to find a volume of the works of Cornelius Agrippa. When I was thirteen years of age, we all went on a party of pleasure to the baths near Thonon: the inclemency of the weather obliged us to remain a day confined to the inn. Natural philosophy is the genius that has regulated my fate I desire, therefore, in this narration, to state those facts which led to my predilection for that science. This contrasts directly with Frankenstein's prompt abandonment of his monster, following its creation. What's interesting to note, which Frankenstein highlights here, is that he had a childhood characterized by loving, caring, present parents. When I mingled with other families, I distinctly discerned how peculiarly fortunate my lot was, and gratitude assisted the development of filial love. We felt that they were not the tyrants to rule our lot according to their caprice, but the agents and creators of all the many delights which we enjoyed. My parents were possessed by the very spirit of kindness and indulgence. No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. In this way, he has been enslaved by his own creation because his one goal in life has become to destroy it. In this passage, Frankenstein conveys to Walton the belief that the course of his life - his fate - is bound to the monster he created.

Expect to do some work that is better suited to contractors because the owner will use you to do construction projects when he has them. You don't get paid for your drive time between the shops in both Colorado Springs and Pueblo West, and that adds up very quickly. The drivers don't get much help and WHEN, NOT IF, you drive your personal vehicle all over the state, expect to foot the maintenance and repairs. It's very high stress and doesn't really get easier. The amount of work you do compared to the amount of money you make is absolutely trash. The owner doesn't respect his employees at all.
