Answer:

His blood is no longer "true" because it has been contaminated by a grave sin-he slept with his own kin! Thus, his name could also mean he speaks the truth. Ellison might be using the name as a technique (besides empathy) to give Trueblood's story credence.

The monster is a very intricate character: He's innocent but murders, he's loving but also filled with hatred, he loves humans but is tormented by them. The monster tells Victor that he was born a loving person, and was forced to kill William, Elizabeth, and Clerval. (He tells Walton that he didn't actually enjoy killing them, and that he hated himself more every time he did it) Eventually, once Victor dies, the monster says that he's in complete anguish, and vows to travel into the North Pole and set himself on fire.

atroni [7]

Walt Masters visited the stampeders' camp and, while clinging to the sled, left with their dogs.

Loren Hall was an elderly guy who had trouble walking. He implored Walt Masters to take care of his gold claims when he went to record his claim. Walt discovered a stampeder camp on one of those days. He kept a tight eye on them, and when he saw that they were learning about Loren's assertions, he quickly considered what to do.

What makes Walt Masters unique compared to the other boys?

Not big. He was small and had a manly appearance.

Why would readers most likely skim text rather than scan something when reading? 1 They may want to gain a general understanding
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

3. They may not have time to read the whole thing.

Explanation:

1: You cannot gain a general understanding by skimming a text.

2: It doesn't make sense to skim a text if you need help defining a word, because part of defining a word is looking for context clues.

4: If they are looking for specific information they would have to analyze the text instead of quickly looking over it.

Therefore 3 is the right answer. Hope this helps :)

Poetry is one of the ways that a writer can express himself and the other two main ways are through the use of prose and drama.

<h3>What is Poetry? </h3>

This refers to the use of words to covey the thoughts and feelings of a poet using stanzas and verses.

Poets can write out their thoughts using free verse or they can make use of rhymes and they also have what is called poetic licence which they can write however they like, either <em>structured or unstructured. </em>

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview so you could get a better understanding of the concept.
