The planet Mars, I scarcely need to remind the reader, revolves about the sun at a mean distance of 140,000,000 miles, and the l

ight and heat it receives from the sun is barely half of that received by this world. It must be if the nebular hypothesis has any truth, older than our world; and long before this earth ceased to be molten, life upon its surface must have begun its course. The fact that it is scarcely one-seventh of the volume of the earth must have accelerated its cooling to the temperature at which life could begin. It has air and water and all that is necessary for the support of animated existence. Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time’s beginning but nearer its end.

How might a theme from Frankenstein, Adam and Eve, and Prometheus and Pandora still be relevant today?
Natali [406]

Answer:

The subtitle to the novel Frankenstein is The Modern Prometheus.  This gives a clear suggestion that scientific discoveries and implementations are double-edged swords; Prometheus gave mankind fire, which can light, cook, and heat or melt, burn and destroy.  In creating the monster, Dr. Frankenstein gives mankind the power of life over death -- both boon and curse.  So it remains with any scientific discovery. The parallel between the monster and cloning is a good one -- guidelines will be in place as the technology advances, not to limit scientific inquiry but to help avoid the monsters that can be created.

You are to write a five paragraph literary essay based on one of the 4 prompts and what you have read and learned in this module
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Question  1. Answer At the beginning of the story, the narrator is ashamed of her mother. By the end of the story, when she fears she has lost her forever, she comes to accept her mother.The narrator is an immigrant girl from China. She is embarrassed by her parents, both of whom work and are different from others. She wants to be like her piano teacher. When her piano teacher gives her a white umbrella, she tells the teacher she wishes she were her mother. On the way home, they get in a car accident and for a moment she is afraid her mother has been killed. She feels ashamed for wishing she had a different mother. She accepts her mother for who she is and immediately tosses the umbrella in the sewer.

Question 2. Answer I think creativity's role in the poem is to explain the nature of humans by comparing it with animal behavior. It tries to express alienation and being unique by using the bat's experience in the porch. The poem expresses man's human nature of breaking out of his zone and goes back to who he was in the end.

Question 3. Answer At the beginning of the story, Squeaky comes across as a strong, no-nonsense kind of girl. She is able to fend for herself and also takes care of her older brother, Raymond, who is mentally challenged. This should be quite a big responsibility for Squeaky considering her age, yet she is able to take this in stride.
