When Victor arrives at Ingolstadt, he encounters two professors: M. Krempe and M. Waldman. What inferences can you make about Vi
Alexandra [31]
The first person he encounters at Ingolstadt is Krempe, a professor of natural philosophy. This meeting is described as the work of an evil influence ­ the "Angel of Destruction." The professor is astounded at the absurd and outdated science that Victor has read in the past, and tells him to begin his studies completely anew. At first, the narrator is indifferent to the idea of returning to science: he has developed a deep contempt for natural philosophy and its uses. This changes, however, when Victor attends a lecture given by a professor named Waldman. Victor is completely enraptured by the ideas of Waldman, who believes that scientists can perform miracles, acquire unlimited powers, and "mock the invisible world with its own shadows." He decides to return to the study of natural philosophy at once; he visits Professor Waldman the following day to tell him that he has found a disciple in Victor Frankenstein.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Sorry it took so long.

Explanation:

In the story Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison. The white men view the narrator no different than the rest of his black community. He explains how he wanted to do his speech so bad, because he believed that only those men could see is true ability. He then encounters a problem with a fellow man who he said ruined everything, so he punched him in the chin. All of a sudden he hears a voice say "I got money on the big boy". The Author wants the leaders to see his true ability, and not just view him as another black man. He had experienced conflicts, but finally got his chance. Which was given to him by the school superintendent, and got a scholarship to the college of Negros. It took the author to go through humiliating and low situations to get to his goal. And sometimes no matter how much he tried he just couldn't meet eye to eye with the whites in power.
