Answer:
Linda Hogan claimed she felt safe in Manitou for she believes "the underground movement of water and heat [were] a constant reminder of other life, of what lives beneath us, [and that] seemed to be the center of the world".
This place, to her, felt like the perfect amalgamation of the spatial barrier that the native Americans believe as the world of their ancestors. And in her exclamation of this place as the center of the world, she also shows that she holds a belief in the very belief of the native Americans.
Explanation:
Linda Hogan in her book "Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World" talks about the houses we live in, and how they depend on humans to be deemed living spaces. She talks about her lifelong fascination and love for the world, the earth, where we live, delving into the relationship between the spaces that humans dwell in and the rest of nature.
Hogan stated that <em>"she felt safe in Manitou"</em> due to the fact that it reminded her of the<em> "other life, of what lives beneath us"</em>. She mentioned that <em>"with the underground movement of water and heat [...] it seemed to be the center of the world".
</em>
This shows that her deep-rooted belief in the native American belief system is reflected in her own sense of comparison between the two spaces, that of humans and nature. She discusses how both spaces are necessary for the healthy psyche of a person and how interconnected the two are.

Answers with Explanations:
1. Compare the monster's interactions with the little girl in paragraph 19 and the little boy in paragraphs 25-32.
The question above is related to the story about "Frankenstein."
"Paragraph 19" shows<u> how curious the monster was</u> when he saw the <em>little girl.</em> At this time, the monster was feeling a sense of joy on his journey. Hearing the girl's voice made him<em> a little shy</em> that's why he hid. It also showed his heroic side when he tried to save the girl when she fell into the stream. <em>This shows his human side</em> that somehow<em> he felt empathy for the girl.</em>
"Paragraphs 25-32" also shows the<u> monster's curiosity.</u> This time, he was curious about the little boy, who was the child brother of "Victor Frankenstein." At this time, the monster was feeling unhappy and fatigued. When he saw the boy, his immediate monster instinct overpowered him. Though he wanted the boy to be his friend, the boy called him an<em> "Ugly wretch."</em> This angered him, that's why he killed him.
2. How do these scenes' similarities and difference develop the monster's characterization?
Both of the scenes show the curiosity of the monster while he was<u> hiding among the fields.</u> The feelings of the monster during the time of encountering the girl and the boy reflects how he treated them. He was <em>happy when he saw the girl,</em> on the contrary, <em>he was fatigued and unhappy when he saw the boy</em>. It shows how his character of having empathy on the girl can quickly change into overpowering monster when he saw the boy.
