Answer:
An Ad Hominem fallacy is when someone personally attacks you to avert the audience from the real point.
Explanation:
<u>Example</u>: Person 1 - <em>"We should raise the minimum wage!"</em>
Person 2 - <em>"Oh please, don't listen to her, she's not even smart</em>
<em> enough to run a business!"</em>
Person 1 attacked Person 2 without even saying why raising the minimum wage is a bad idea. Ad Hominem is when someone insults another person instead of giving reasoning to why their opinion/statement is a bad idea. They try and steer you away from the point so that you agree with them. Maybe Person 1 isn't smart enough to run a business, but maybe she has a good idea in why they should raise the minimum wage.

Explanation:
Fire is an important symbol in Frankenstein for many reasons.
1. Dr Frankenstein is compared to a 'modern Prometheus': Prometheus, in Greek mythology, gave fire (which symbolized knowledge) to humans and then suffered an eternal punishment for that. Frankenstein is trying to bring his own gift of knowledge (life) to humanity but his life is also ruined through this process.
2. Fire also is something that has two sides, each that can help or hurt. Building a fire can create warmth and light, but too much of it can cause death and destruction. This is also shown through Frankenstein's creation of the monster. Think of the saying "playing with fire".
(In a more specific instance, when the monster realizes that fire can destroy he uses it as a weapon (burning the villager's cottage) )
3. Fire also represents passion and desire. Both Frankenstein and the monster possess this fire--Frankenstein for knowledge and creation, the monster for acceptance. This fuels both of their efforts through the novel.
