The Civil War is sometimes called “The Boys’ War,” because so many soldiers who fought in it were still in their teens. The rule in the Union Army was that soldiers had to be 18 to join, but many younger boys answered “I’m over 18, sir,” when the recruiter asked.

Many of the youngest boys served as drummers; they weren’t supposed to be fighters, but they did a very important job during the Civil War. You’ve probably seen pictures of a boy walking beside the marching soldiers, beating his drum to keep them together. But this wasn’t the drummer’s most important — or most difficult — job.

In the noise and confusion of battle, it was often impossible to hear the officers’ orders, so each order was given a series of drumbeats to represent it. Both soldiers and drummers had to learn which drumroll meant “meet here” and which meant “attack now” and which meant “retreat” and all the other commands of battlefield and camp. (The most exciting drum call was “the long roll,” which was the signal to attack. The drummer would just beat-beat-beat — and every other drummer in hearing distance would beat-beat-beat — until all that could be heard was an overwhelming thunder pushing the army forward.)

Frankenstein is the novel that opens and closes with letters from Robert Walton. Walton writes one-way letters to his sister at the beginning of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein novel.

By using Walton's character and his letters to establish many of the topics later explored in "Frankenstein," such as the desire for knowledge and power, solitude, and nature, Shelley introduces the major themes of the book. These opening letters thus have an effect on the reader since they will shape how they see the rest of the book, leading them to reflect on significant issues that apply to all societies and cultures and giving them a sense of what is to follow in the novel.

The letters Walton writes to his sister from the narrative's framework. Walton even wrote the bulk of the narrative and emailed it to his sister. Walton's sister reads several accounts of the crew members in this letter, particularly the master's. We realize what a romantic Walton is because of the adoring and uplifting way he writes about the master in his story.

The concept of loneliness is introduced in this letter. It demonstrates that not only do all lonely people become insane, but all insane people also become lonely. This alludes to how Victor's madness caused him to lose everyone he had ever loved, but it also shows how the creature, who can't make friends because of the way he looks, becomes mad and begins killing innocent people.
