Which phrases from the passage clearly critique the class system as the creature reveals his dawning understanding of it? Franke

nstein by Mary Shelley (excerpt) Every conversation of the cottagers now opened new wonders to me. While I listened to the instructions which Felix bestowed upon the Arabian, the strange system of human society was explained to me. I heard of the division of property, of immense wealth and squalid poverty; of rank, descent, and noble blood. The words induced me to turn towards myself. I learned that the possessions most esteemed by your fellow-creatures were, high and unsullied descent united with riches. A man might be respected with only one of these acquisitions; but without either he was considered, except in very rare instances, as a vagabond and a slave, doomed to waste his powers for the profit of the chosen few. And what was I? Of my creation and creator I was absolutely ignorant; but I knew that I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property.

The phrases that clearly critique the class system are: of the division of property, of immense wealth and squalid poverty and <span>doomed to waste his powers for the profit of the chosen few. The first one emphasizes the unequal distribution of wealth, where some people enjoy the plentiful abundance and others agonize in lack of everything.

Answer:

- Ethos, an appeal based on the speaker's character.

Explanation:

Ethos is illustrated as the persuasive appeals that attempt to persuade the audience ethically by establishing the credibility of the author. It is described as one of the 'three modes of persuasion'(as stated by Aristotle), the other two being logos(logical appeal) and pathos(emotional appeal).

In the given sentence, the speaker employs 'ethos' as he/she attempts to persuade the audience by invoking authority 'as a president of the Student Council for two years' that exemplifies the appeal based on 'speaker's character' or 'credibility'. Thus, the speaker attempts to convince the audience ethically to accept his idea of 'establishing a better system for spending funds'. Therefore, '<u>ethos</u>' is the correct answer.

<h2>Required Answer : - </h2>

The poet brings about the contrast between the ice

and <u>hatred</u> through the poem “Fire and Ice”.

<h3>Additional information :- </h3>

  • The name of the poem is Fire and Ice. In this poem, you find the realist side of the poet’s nature. He has perceived the nature of humans and described it perfectly in the poem using simple words. According to him, humanity has been engrossed by never-ending desire and hunger for power. It is because of this greed, humanity will end in two ways. The poet has mentioned that the entire human race will end either in flames or being engulfed by ice. The poem has only a few lines but manages to describe what the poet wants to convey to his readers perfectly.

  • To understand the inner meaning of the poem, you need to refer to the Summary of Fire and Ice Class 10 English. This summary has been prepared by the mentors of Vedantu so that students can understand the hidden context of the poem. Refer to this summary to prepare the chapter well and answer the question easily in exams to score better.

  • History is evidence of the downfall of many civilizations due to wars. Wars are the effect of hatred, greed and the never-ending desires of the human race. Robert Frost, one of the eminent poets, had perceived that humans will be responsible for their own catastrophe. They will be annihilated from the surface of the earth because of their negative emotions controlled by greed and hatred.

  • The poet is sure of the destruction of the human race. He is sure that it will happen very soon. The nature of humans makes them weaker and they fall prey to the hands of greed, hatred and desire. The more they get, the more they want. They also want what others have. This unending desire is lethal for the future of humans. A time will come when the entire race will cease to exist as humans will destroy themselves using fire or ice.

  • The evil desires will control humans to make and launch destructive weapons against each other. A humongous fire will engulf the entire race killing everyone and making earth sane again. According to the Short Summary of Fire and Ice Class 10 English, the poet has found a remarkable similarity between the fire of evil desires and hatred and the fire that destroys life.

  • He also depicts another reason for the destruction of the human race. He believes that the world created by humans will be destroyed by ice someday. Ice is compared as an uncompassionate feeling of the humans for each other. Nobody cares about what is happening in the world because of their . It seems that the ice of these evil emotions has made humans go numb. They fail to feel any warmth and are slowly losing the hope to survive without knowing it. Humans act cruelly against each other and do not think twice before imparting harm.
