From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain As he was passing by the house where Jeff Thatcher lived, he saw a new girl in t

he garden—a lovely little blue-eyed creature with yellow hair plaited into two long-tails, white summer frock and embroidered pan-talettes. The fresh-crowned hero fell without firing a shot. A certain Amy Lawrence vanished out of his heart and left not even a memory of herself behind. He had thought he loved her to distraction; he had regarded his passion as adoration; and behold it was only a poor little evanescent partiality. He had been months winning her; she had confessed hardly a week ago; he had been the happiest and the proudest boy in the world only seven short days, and here in one instant of time she had gone out of his heart like a casual stranger whose visit is done.
Identify the word that best describes Tom Sawyer as he is depicted in this excerpt.

I would say that the correct answer is B, concerned. A doesn't apply, he isn't really preoccupied with something over something else, and C doesnt completely make sense with the passage. And Tom isn't horrified, he doesn't seem to be reacting too much at all, other than just seeming concerned.

In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor and/or the creature can each be viewed as both protagonist and antagonist in the novel. W
Mariulka [41]

The essay wants to know your opinion about the story and characters. I don't have access to your opinion, so I can't write your essay, but I'll show you how.

<h3>Important information for your essay</h3>
  1. Shelley shows the creature with an ugly appearance, but someone sensitive, lonely and needy.
  2. Shelley portrays Victor as an obsessed man who rejects the creature he created because of the way that creature looks.
  3. Shelley shows that the constant rejection made the creature somewhat spiteful and violent.
  4. Shelley blames the creature's violence on Victor, who raised her and failed to meet her needs.
  5. Shelley shows that the creature has monstrous attitudes, but so does Victor, as these attitudes were created by him.

<h3>Steps to writing the essay</h3>
  • Introduction: Introduce the novel "Frankenstein," its author, and how the theme of monstrosity is presented in the novel. The introduction must be a short paragraph.

  • Thesis Statement: Show your opinion on who is more monstrous, Victor or the creature. The thesis statement must be a single sentence, which ends the introduction.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. The first paragraph should show why the character you chose as the most monstrous deserves that title. In other words, you must support and strengthen your thesis statement by showing that it is correct. In the second paragraph, you will show why the other character is not the most monstrous, showing the reasons that make you have this opinion. These paragraphs should be long and informative.

  • Conclusion: Summarize the main points of the essay and restate your thesis statement.
