MORE CAUTIOUS SORRY FOR PUTTING IT IN ALL CAPS BUT
Transcendentalism is a philosophical movement developed in the USA in the 1820s, which focuses on the kindness of people and nature, as well as on people's independence and ability to depend on oneself. It was born in opposition to the intellectualism and spirituality of the time. Consequently, Thoreau's quote reflects his conscious and intentional decision to move to the forest in order to discover the meaning of life and his own independent self.
1. This can lead to spending too much time in the cyber world, and not enough time in the "real" world. This can lead to decreased productivity (for example, not completing homework, or even remembering to eat, in extreme cases).
2. When engaging in a social media relationship, "catfishing" (when someone has a fake profile and pretends to be someone else) is a common occurrence.
3. Something more extreme than catfishing can also occur, often with younger adolescents. While it can be categorized as catfishing, the person behind the profile could be a predator and have plans to abduct the other person.
4. "Real world" relationships may suffer. Social media relationships require a lot of time on the computer/phone, which may take away time from hanging out with friends and family (similar to the first point).
It looks like you answered your own question, but they also change the theme of the story from one of abandonment, control, and approval/validation.
Frankenstein creates his monster after his mother dies, leaving him feeling abandoned.
His creation is an attempt to give life without the need for a woman (controlling life).
The monster spends much of the story seeking validation from his creator, who wants nothing to do with him. In some sense, this parallels Victor's inability to cope with his mother's loss, except that Victor is still very much alive. I'm sure many people view this as a religious allegory (God abandoning humans).
I don't recall catching any of that in the movies. Instead, they turn it into the typical battle against the unknown/unfamiliar. The monster is not understood, and is grotesque looking, so the people want it gone. Of course, none of the pitchforks and torches are ever carried in the novel.
Of course, there's also the issue of Frankenstein's presentation on screen. In the book, he's clearly described as being yellow; yet, in most of the movies, he's green. Oh, and Frankenstein never yells "it's alive!"
The correct answer is : D. She uses images of the globe and the Yangtse River to represent the narrator's feelings.
