Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis.” After we had drifted a long way, I put the oars in place and made Doodle row back agai

nst the tide. Black clouds began to gather in the southwest, and he kept watching them, trying to pull the oars a little faster. When we reached Horsehead Landing, lightning was playing across half the sky and thunder roared out, hiding even the sound of the sea. The sun disappeared and darkness descended, almost like night. Flocks of marsh crows flew by, heading inland to their roosting trees, and two egrets, squawking, arose from the oyster-rock shallows and careened away. What best describes the effect of the imagery used in this excerpt?
English

The use of the imagery best describes the looming danger ahead while rafting through a river. The weather is quickly changing and the environment is agreeing to such event. The omens that can be seen within the environment are warning signs that the character should find a safe place where he can land and situate himself out of the rapids of the river.

1. Explain Mary Shelley’s use of a motif in Frankenstein and provide at least two examples of this motif from the text.

 Motifs are recurring structures, contrasts, or literary devices that can help to develop and inform the text’s major themes. 
Example 1: Passive Women Frankenstein is strikingly devoid of strong female characters. The novel is littered with passive women who suffer calmly and then expire: Caroline Beaufort is a self-sacrificing mother who dies taking care of her adopted daughter.

Example 2: Abortion 
<span>The motif of abortion recurs as both Victor and the monster express their sense of the monster’s hideousness. About first seeing his creation, Victor says: “When I thought of him, I gnashed my teeth, my eyes became inflamed, and I ardently wished to extinguish that life which I had so thoughtlessly made.” The monster feels a similar disgust for himself: “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.”
</span>

2. What does Frankenstein suggest about duality in life? What examples from the text can you give that relate to this theme?

<span>The Creature's duality is his ability to show love and to yearn for people who love him (as in his mountain retreat, where he fell in love with the family he helped), and his humanity. The flip side of that is his hatred for who he is and his desire to destroy his creator, Dr Victor Frankenstein when he wouldn't make another monster for his companionship. </span>

In the passage, Eleanor Roosevelt urges the General Assembly to pass the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in that very same session: "<em>Let this third regular session of the General Assembly approve by an overwhelming majority the Declaration of Human Rights</em>." In that matter, she reinforces what Secretary Marshall has said, and encourages the Assembly to work under "high standards" in spite of its flaws.
