The best way to get around education is through personal experiences such as “sensations” and “reflections” which are expressed in John Locke’s “Human Understanding” and utilized in Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein”

What’s good:
1- You identify a theory text and a literary text.
2- You make a claim.
Concerns:
1-your claim is not about the books. It’s a general claim about life that will use the two texts I suppose to support that claim. In your final group project, that’s fine. When you’re writing a treatise on education and school I expect that your it is about life and how people learn and all the literature will be called upon to help support. HOWEVER this paper assignment asks you to put a theory text and a literary text in conversation with each other. This means you need to make a claim about how an aspect about one changes our reading of an aspect of the other.
2- Why do you have “sensation” and “reflection” in quotations? is it because you are taking them from Locke? If so, that makes sense, but if you’re taking them from Locke, then give Locke top billing for his ideas. You kind of pass them as your own and then mention he said something like that.
