~Chapter 21~
This last week has been very....at loss for words. Some very terrible things have happened. After I posted that last blog, I received a very disturbing message came from Rupert. I had to depart immediately from home. I hated to leave Elizabeth without much of an explanation, but the situation wouldn't let me tarry any longer than necessary. Let me recount our woeful tale, or at least what I understand. Henry was found dead and they accused Victor of the horrible crime. At seeing Henry, Victor got rather ill but he was still thrown into jail. I rushed here as soon as possible. Victor already woke up and told me everything. He swears that he didn't do it. He blames the creature. I believe him, but we both fear that no one will believe him and will just take it as the ravings of a mad man. They might keep him in jail or worse... No! I mustn't think like that. I am his father and I will do everything in my power to take my son out of there. In a couple of hours the magistrate will decide and come out to tell us what he has decided.
Whew! The magistrate declared Victor not guilty! I am so happy, relieved, yet still sad. I see Victor suffering everyday even more than before. His sadness is justified, Henry was his best friend since they were both just boys. He was like a brother to Victor. That dear boy will be sorely missed. Victor had already promised Henry he was going to be his best man. I am almost scared Victor will want to postpone the wedding yet again. It is NOT the best thing for this family right now. Poor Elizabeth seems to wither away everyday Victor is not home. What Victor needs right now is love only a woman like Elizabeth can give. I am his father, but I cannot supply that need. I must go see Victor now and head home.

I think you did a great job of getting into your character who usually is not heard from in the book.
You use many different literary element throughout your blog. You also have great grammar which makes it easy to read.
