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: Paradise Lost, Plutarch’s Lives and The Sorrows of Werter. These books point to major themes of the novel. Plutarch’s Lives is about the “great men” of history, which reminds us that the Monster exists because of Frankenstein’s ambition to be great. The Sorrows of Werter is a novel about the alienation of a young man, which underlines the alienation of both the Monster and Frankenstein. Paradise Lost, by the English poet John Milton, is the most significant of the three books. It tells the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, focusing on Satan’s ambition and alienation from God. 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".

E first step you should take in the argument process is

Yuliya22 [10]

Question #1 Answer: To examine a question that has more than one side.
You cannot ask your audience to take action because you haven't taken a firm stance on a subject. You can't take a firm stance on the subject without having evidence to defend your position. And you can't defend your position without first stating both sides of an argument. Thus, the answer is Choice B.

Question #2 Answer: An argumentative essay does not use emotions.
An argumentative essay relies on Logos and Pathos; persuasion and logic, not ethos which is emotions. You would use Ethos and Pathos in a persuasive argument rather than an argumentative essay.

Question #3 Answer: A statement that takes a clear stand on an issue.
A claim states your stance on a subject with conciseness.

Question #4 Answer: An argument uses logic to show your stand on an issue is the best choice.
As I explained before, argumentative essay chiefly relies on Logos (logic). 

Question #5 Answer: Television watching should be limited because it has negative influences on teens.
The first choice uses the phrase, "I think." That is a big No-no. Also, it uses hasty generalization and states that everyone thinks that television is bad for teens. Choice 2 is incorrect. It does not state the authors stance on the subject, it only states something someone else should accomplish. Choice 4 does not state a direct claim. It seems more like clickbait. It states that there are reasons why teen television viewing should be limited, however, it does not state the claim incisively.
