You may be talking about a different kind of subject but I think this is what you were talking about:

A subject is the first part in a sentence about which the second part, the predicate, tells something. The subject performs an action, or indicates what or whom the sentence is about.

In literature, the subject is the main topic that serves as the basis of a story, poem, song, paper, essay or any piece of writing. Examples of subjects are war, love, hate, marriage, censorship, and identity. It is often confused with the theme, but they are not the same. The theme is a message or moral lesson that a piece of writing conveys about a topic. For example, the subject of a story may be “freedom” and the theme may be “all good things are wild and free.”

The plot of the Giant house by Elizabeth mccracken
schepotkina [342]
Peggy Cort is a lonely spinster librarian living on 1950s Cape Cod when an unusual young boy comes into her libarary. He is James Sweatt and he is already taller than any boys in his school and growing at a rapid rate. The book covers the slow friendship that develops between Peggy and James the Giant. Peggy is there when James gets injured, when his mother dies and when he travels.

Peggy realizes about halfway through the book that she is in love with the young giant but doesn't quite know what to do with her emotions. She helps his family build him a giant-sized cottage behind their house. She tries to set him up with a girl his own age as a teenager but eventually his friends grow up and leave and he is left with Peggy as his primary friend to help him deal with the tourists and gawkers who come to see the boy who won't stop growing.

When he is over eight feet tall and nineteen the two go to New York City to participate in the circus. While they are there he meets the smallest woman in the world who talks to him of marriage and he asks Peggy if she wants to get married. They talk about it but nothing comes of it and after they return, although they have declared their love for each other it is too late and the giant is already becoming sicker and dies soon after.

Choose the sentence that contains a comma splice.
RideAnS [48]
First of all, you need to know what a comma splice is. A comma splice, also known as a run-on sentence, means that two or more sentences are mixed into one large sentence but with improper punctuation. So, a comma is inserted where a period should be to separate two or more unrelated sentences.
Having this in mind, the correct answer is C. <span>As I sat on a bench and drank my coffee, a seagull passed over, he relieved himself on my head. 
There should be a period between the words 'over' and 'he.'
</span>

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Frankenstein is comparable to the Prometheus myth because both characters gave rise to life, both were talented and have lots of things to their advantage, but in the end, both were given to tragedy because of their quest for making the impossible as possible.
