Select all the correct answers. Which two excerpts appear toward the end of the plot structure of Jack London's "Up the Slide"?

But the descent was precipitate and dangerous in the uncertain moonlight, and he elected to go down the mountain by its gentler northern flank. In a couple of hours he reached the Yukon at the Siwash village, and took the river-trail back to where he had left the dogs. There he found Swanson, with a fire going, waiting for him to come down. Halting his dogs beneath, on the river ice, he looked up, and after some searching, rediscovered it. Being dead, its weatherbeaten gray so blended with the gray wall of rock that a thousand men could pass by and never notice it. Taking root in a cranny, it had grown up, exhausted its bit of soil, and perished. Beneath it the wall fell sheer for a hundred feet to the river. It stood to reason, Swanson said, that good, dry firewood could not be found so close to Dawson; that whatever firewood there was originally had long since been gathered in; that firewood would not be selling at forty dollars a cord if any man could go out and get a sled-load and be back in the time Clay expected to make it. Clay ran his experienced eye over the timber, and estimated that it would chop up into fifty cords at least. Beyond, the gully closed in and became barren rock again. On every hand was barren rock, so the wonder was small that the trees had escaped the eyes of men. They were only to be discovered as he had discovered them— by climbing after them. He sat down and looked at the treacherous snow-covered slope. It was manifestly impossible for him to make it with a whole body, and he did not wish to arrive at the bottom shattered like the pine tree.

Answer:

He sat down and looked at the treacherous snow-covered slope. It was manifestly impossible for him to make it with a whole body, and he did not wish to arrive at the bottom shattered like the pine tree.

Halting his dogs beneath, on the river ice, he looked up, and after some searching, rediscovered it. Being dead, its weather-beaten gray so blended with the gray wall of rock that a thousand men could pass by and never notice it. Taking root in a cranny, it had grown up, exhausted its bit of soil, and perished. Beneath it the wall fell sheer for a hundred feet to the river.

Once the creature has learned how to satisfy his basic needs, he learns language and then how to read.
dusya [7]

Answer:

The Monster learns to speak by spying on the DeLacey family. He lives for over a year in a “hovel,” a small shed attached to the DeLaceys’ cottage. Through a chink in the wall, the Monster can see and hear everything that happens inside the cottage. He learns to speak by listening to the DeLaceys. When Felix DeLacey’s fiancée Safie arrives, the Monster is able to learn more: Safie is Turkish, and the Monster overhears Felix teaching her French as well as the history and politics of Europe. The Monster learns to read when he finds three books abandoned on the ground: <u>Paradise Lost</u>, <u>Plutarch’s Lives</u> and <u>The Sorrows of Werter</u>. These books point to major themes of the novel. <u><em>Plutarch’s Lives</em></u> is about the “great men” of history, which reminds us that the <em>Monster exists because of Frankenstein’s ambition to be great</em>. The <u><em>Sorrows of Werter</em></u> is a novel about the <em>alienation of a young man</em>, which underlines <em>the alienation of both the Monster and Frankenstein</em>. <u><em>Paradise Lost</em></u>, by the English poet John Milton, is the most significant of the three books. It tells the <em>Biblical story of Adam and Eve</em>, focusing on <em>Satan’s ambition and alienation from God</em>. The Monster frequently compares himself to both Satan and Adam.

What does the creature learn from this book? How much of a monster can someone be who can say "but when I heard details of vice and bloodshed, my wonder ceased, and I turned away with disgust and loathing"?

The creature learns all about the history of civilization and all the wars man has waged on one another.

What happens when the creature begins to think about himself? How does he compare with the humans described in the book? What questions does he ask himself? How does his knowledge make him feel?

The creature realizes he is the only one in existence. Like himself he is monstrously ugly and he is utterly alone. He asks, "What am I?" and "Who am I?" He feels absolute misery.

What are the three books that the creature reads, and what does he learn from each of them?

Plutarch's "Lives", Goethe's "Sorrows of Werter", and Milton's "Paradise Lost". He learns of man's cruel history of war in "Lives", of man's melancholic nature in "Sorrows of Werter" and the noble thoughts of man in "Paradise Lost".
