which excerpt from Frankenstein best reflects the 19th-century concern that scientists pursue their studies at any personal or m

Thepotemich [5.8K]

In this excerpt, we can read the conclusion of Victor Frankenstein about science: in the 19th century, scientists pursue their studies at any personal or moral cost:

"With a confusion of ideas only to be accounted for by my extreme youth and my want of a guide on such matters, I had retrod the steps of nowledge along the paths of time and exchanged the discoveries of recent inquirers for the dreams of forgotten alchemists. Besides, I had a contempt for the uses of modern natural philosophy. It was very different when the masters of the science sought immortality and power; such views, although futile, were grand; but now the scene was changed. The ambition of the inquirer seemed to limit itself to the annihilation of those visions on which my interest in science was chiefly founded. I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.

Such were my reflections during the first two or three days of my residence at Ingolstadt, which were chiefly spent in becoming acquainted with the localities and the principal residents (..)"

When the objective of the science experiments is only the recognition, the need for making something original and spectacular, to be regarded by other scientists the results could be terrible. For example, the creation of the poor monster of Frankenstein story.

“A Whole New World” From Disney’s Aladdin

omeli [17]

Answer:

Answers with explanation given below.

Explanation:

1. An extended metaphor is basically a single metaphor that is stretched throughout the whole work. Here, the extended metaphor is that Aladdin is opening a new world to Jasmine.

It is a metaphor because he isn’t actually showing her a new world, but her life has changed dramatically and he compares that to being shown a wholly different world. This he does throughout the song, both of them talking about how the world is so different or new now. “No one to tell us, "No", Or where to go” and “With new horizons to pursue” give us a sense of different rules in this new world and a change of scene.

2. “I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways and under

On a magic carpet ride”

There are two parts to this. There is a tactile (touch/feel) imagery involved when he says to open your eyes, and there is the part about the motion that comes with riding on the magic carpet, which is kinesthetic (motion based).

If you haven’t learned these imagery types in school yet, you could just say these are visual (along with opening your eyes) and (seeing a magic carpet that flies through the sky).

“Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky”

This gives the listeners and readers a sense of falling through the sky, which is exactly what the lyrics say. This is further established by the earlier lines talking about the magic carpet that takes you on a ride in the sky.

3. This song is not an example of a monologue. A monologue is a long speech by one actor in a play or movie, and this could’ve been one, except, Aladdin isn’t the only one who contributes to the lyrics. Jasmine puts in a few verses of her own throughout the song.

4. In the line, “I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far”, Jasmine compares herself to a shooting star using simile because she too has come so far so fast across the sky.

5. Alliteration: “Shining, shimmering, splendid”

“It's crystal clear”.
