Answer:
Walton’s letters to his sister form a frame around the main narrative, Victor Frankenstein’s tragic story. Walton captains a North Pole–bound ship that gets trapped between sheets of ice. While waiting for the ice to thaw, he and his crew pick up Victor, weak and emaciated from his long chase after the monster. Victor recovers somewhat, tells Walton the story of his life, and then dies. Walton laments the death of a man with whom he felt a strong, meaningful friendship beginning to form.
Walton functions as the conduit through which the reader hears the story of Victor and his monster. However, he also plays a role that parallels Victor’s in many ways. Like Victor, Walton is an explorer, chasing after that “country of eternal light”—unpossessed knowledge. Victor’s influence on him is paradoxical: one moment he exhorts Walton’s almost-mutinous men to stay the path courageously, regardless of danger; the next, he serves as an abject example of the dangers of heedless scientific ambition. In his ultimate decision to terminate his treacherous pursuit, Walton serves as a foil (someone whose traits or actions contrast with, and thereby highlight, those of another character) to Victor, either not obsessive enough to risk almost-certain death or not courageous enough to allow his passion to drive him.

Do you mean The American Revolution? If thats the case, the arguments in favor it Britain is that they have the the strongest navy, so without the help of the French (including Lafayfette) they couldn’t stand a chance, and the king(King George III) tried to pay the debt, and prevented the colonists (Americans) from going to the other side, so they don’t have to get into a fight with the natives. As for against, King George took too much control, and even made a declaratory law that he could control what happens in the colonies, and that the colonists would have very little power. He was also taxing them, but they were poor, so they rebelled against him. Sorry if I wrote a book. Also, I hope it helps you!
