This excerpt doesn't give much detail but I'm pretty sure this is Polyphemus speaking. He is a cyclops, and son of Poseidon. When Odysseus and his men were trapped in a cave with the giant man-eating cyclops, they plotted to blind him and escape. So Odysseus got Polyphemus drunk on some kind of wine and waited for him to pass out. Then they got a huge stick or branch, sharpened the end and plunged it into the giant's eye. One can easily surmise that Polyphemus would seek revenge for this, so answer B is definite. Answer A might be an additional factor, as Polyphemus does refer to him in this passage as "raider of cities"--indicating perhaps some disapproval--but the damage to his (only!) eye would be the most important issue, since that is personal.

yarga [219]
The correct matches  of the questions to the step in writing would be as follows:

A. What voice am I writing in?
This question would most likely be drafting. It is the step where the author would begin to develop the text, organizing the thoughts he wants to have.

B. Are my sentence boundaries identified correctly (no fragments or run-ons)?
This would be the editing step where you proofread the whole text looking at errors especially structural errors.

C. Have I kept voice and tense the same throughout?
This would represent the revising step where you make a run through to each sentence and see whether you are being consistent with the use of words.

D. What is my purpose?
This would be the planning step. The very first step in writing would planning on what to write and what you would like to convey to the readers.

E. What is my evidence (and where will I get it)?
This would be the pre-writing stage where you collect your sources for the subject you want to write.

When was the first edition of the novel Frankenstein published?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The first edition of "Frankenstein" was published on 1st January, 1818.

Explanation:

Mary Shelly's famous gothic novel "Frankenstein" or  "The Modern Prometheus" was first published on January 1, 1818 without an author. this anonymous publication was due to the fact that women writers were not openly accepted in those times.

This novel tells the story of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein's creation of a monstrous being in a rather unethical manner. Though he may be unusual, he wasn't a monster initially. When he was rejected by his own creator, Victor, he started becoming more like a monster. He despised himself and hated everyone who rejected him, also people began to be repulsed by his appearance too.

Narrated from Victor's point of view, the story moved from when the created being became the master who had control over the other humans.  He was responsible for the death of William, Victor's younger brother and also that of a young girl named Justine who had been accused of being William's killer. The monster approached Victor during his vacation in the mountains, admitting his actions of killing William. But he also said he has reasons and asked him to create a female for him so that he will not be alone. Everyone got their partners to be with but he is a lonely monster, shunned by everyone and with no companion, even rejected by his own creator.

Victor was eventually convinced and he started working on the new creation. But, afraid of what the monster might really do if he has a companion, Victor destroys the unfinished project. Angered by this, the monster vowed to make Victor's life hell, promising to hurt him on his wedding night. Victor was then arrested and accused for the death of his friend Henry, which of course, was the work of the monster. Some years later, he married Elizabeth. Remembering the monster's promise, he decided to send his new wife to another room, thinking the monster will come for him. But, it was his wife who would be killed instead. So, Victor vowed to hunt the monster down and made it his life mission.
