Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein, is a novel written by Mary Shelley. Shelley started writing when she was 18 and the novel was published when she was 21. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful.

The Golden Gate is a famous bridge in California, United States. It connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. "Golden Gate" is also the name of the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean. It took his name from the opening of Constantinople, because it connected Europe and Asia.

The Giant's Causeway

This is a video about the Giant's Causeway. It tells the story about how the Causeway was formed and the legend of the giant Finn. It is in Spanish. I found other videos in English but they were quiet difficult.
