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.

Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 12 cm tall and grows 2 cm per month. Species
Andrews [41]
This is how to solve the problem:

We know that the growth rate is constant for both species of plants. So we can say that the height is a linear function of the number of days since d = 0. 

Assumption (1 month = 30 days)

Species A: 
Growth rate = 2 cm/month = 2/30 = 1/15 cm/day 
Height on day d = 0: 12 cm 
Height: H(d) = 12 + d/15 

Species B: 
Growth rate = 3 cm/month = 3/30 = 1/10 cm/day 
Height on day d = 0: 10 cm 
Height: H(d) = 10 + d/10

Which sentence implies that something may not happen?
Alik [6]
IF I can sing well enough, I'll join the school chorus.
The IF implies that something is conditional i.e. it may happen, it may not happen (it depends on whether you can sing well enough!)
Hope this helps... :)
