. . I entered the cabin where lay the remains of my ill-fated and admirable friend. Over him hung a form which I cannot find wor

ds to describe — gigantic in stature, yet uncouth and distorted in its proportions. . . .
He paused, looking on me with wonder, and again turning towards the lifeless form of his creator, he seemed to forget my presence, and every feature and gesture seemed instigated by the wildest rage of some uncontrollable passion.

"That is also my victim!" he exclaimed. . . . "Oh, Frankenstein! Generous and self-devoted being! What does it avail that I now ask thee to pardon me? I, who irretrievably destroyed thee by destroying all thou lovedst. Alas! He is cold, he cannot answer me." . . .

"Your repentance," I said, "is now superfluous. If you had listened to the voice of conscience and heeded the stings of remorse before you had urged your diabolical vengeance to this extremity, Frankenstein would yet have lived."

"And do you dream?" said the daemon. "Do you think that I was then dead to agony and remorse? . . . After the murder of Clerval I returned to Switzerland, heart-broken and overcome. I pitied Frankenstein; my pity amounted to horror; I abhorred myself. But when I discovered that he, the author at once of my existence and of its unspeakable torments, dared to hope for happiness, that while he accumulated wretchedness and despair upon me he sought his own enjoyment in feelings and passions from the indulgence of which I was forever barred, then impotent envy and bitter indignation filled me with an insatiable thirst for vengeance. . . . I had cast off all feeling, subdued all anguish, to riot in the excess of my despair. Evil thenceforth became my good. Urged thus far, I had no choice but to adapt my nature to an element which I had willingly chosen. . . ."

Answer:

I believe, put simply, Frankenstein has been killed by his monster. His friend, whose name cannot be derived from the passage, has found Frankenstein's corpse and Frankenstein's monster above him. Frankenstein's monster seems remorseful about killing their creator. However, the 'friend' is basically saying 'Bro, if you had just listened to your gut and your conscience, my dude, Frankenstein would still be alive'. What happened after is a bit murky, but basically, Frankenstein's monster is like,

'Do you dream? Do you think I don't feel hurt and guilt? After the murder of Clerval, I went off to Switzerland, feeling down. I felt bad for Frankenstein, then it turned to horror. I felt disgusted about myself. But then I found out that Frankenstein, the guy who made me and all of my problems, wanted to be happy. While he made my life horrible and piled torments on me, he tried to find happiness in the things I couldn't experience. Then I became angry, and I wanted revenge. I put aside my problems and adapted to the way I had chosen to feel...'

This is still a bit off, and it might not solve the entire problem, but I hope it clears up a few things??

Answer:

In the passage Frankenstein has just been killed and his creator is mourning over the loss of his creation. It's been awhile since I've read this book but I hope this helps you.

Match each statement with the part of a viewpoint it represents
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Voting is the best to involve all of the community → reason

Statistics show that voting promotes community engagement → evidence

Communities should encourage people to register to vote → rebuttal

Voting takes too much time → counterclaim

Once you register to vote, it is actually really easy and quick → claim

Explanation:

I have been able to match each statement with the part of a viewpoint it represents.

We see that the reason here is that voting is actually the best way to see involve all of the community.

A rebuttal is seen to be one which nullifies the other evidence. From the evidence stated, it is seen that the statistics show that voting actually promotes community engagement. But the rebuttal tends to nullify that evidence. This is true because the rebuttal reveals that people still find it hard to vote so they need to be encouraged to vote. This then contradicts the promotion of community engagement.

What do the instructions that were given to the students when visitors were expected tell you about the students' families and t
Sliva [168]

Hello. You did not provide the instructions and showed the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you.

If children need school instructions on how to behave in the presence of a visitor, it probably means that these children have very socially marginalized families, who do not get enough knowledge to promote a behavioral education for their children, as they have had few opportunities to learn this type of education.
