In Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley almost two centuries ago, Victor Frankenstein’s thirst for knowledge leads him to scien

tific discoveries and advances that have horrible consequences. In the decades since the book’s publication, of course, there have been countless advances in science, many of which have been met with resistance because of fears of the potential and unforeseen fallout. Consider some scientific developments that you are aware of in modern times. Are the ideas about the dangers of scientific advancement in this novel applicable to today’s world? Why or why not?

Yeah, I would say so. In the book, Victor played God and as a result, never foresaw the outcome of his creation. This can apply to today were being hubris and not taking proper steps or conditions lead to your downfall.

Tom is in hiding because he has accidentally killed a man in a fight.​
dalvyx [7]

He never calls them by name, John Steinbeck immortalizes the Wobblies in The

Grapes of Wrath. The novel is about the life of the Joad family. The Joads have lost

their farm during the Depression, the family has come to California seeking work.

There is no permanent work for anyone, moreover, the money earned by picking

crops is not enough to feed the family.

Union organizers have talked to the workers about organizing and striking.

Tom, the oldest Joad son, has listened to them, however, he has not yet joined them.

Tom is in hiding because he has accidentally killed a man in a fight. He spends all

his daylight hours alone, he has lots of time to think about his family’s situation.

Tom becomes convinced that life is unfair for his people, he decides to leave the family, find the union men, and work with them.

He is inarticulate when he tries to explain to Ma what he hopes to do he gropes

for words to express his frustration and his hope. Ma asks him how she will know

about him, she worries that he might get killed and she would not know. Tom’s reassurances are almost mystical: “Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat,

I’ll be there an’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they

build, I’ll be there.”

If Tom had had a copy of the Wobblies’ “little red song book,” he could have

found less mystical words. Every copy of the book contained the Wobblies’

Preamble, the first sentence in the Preamble was unmistakably clear “The working

class and the employing class have nothing in common.” Tom would have understood those words he would have believed them too.

In which sentence is all punctuation correct?
k0ka [10]

The correct answer is the last option - “Most people,” I told him, “believe anything they hear on television or see on the Web.”


First of all, there has to be a comma after people. That comma is followed by quotation marks. Then you have the rest of the sentence (I told him), followed by another comma (before another quotation marks.) And finally, there has to be a period within the quote, before the final quotation marks.
