Answers with Explanations:
1. Contrast the monster's interactions with the little girl in paragraph 19 and the boy in paragraphs 25-32.
This question refers to the tale of "Frankenstein."
In "Paragraph 19," we see the monster's intense curiosity when he encounters the little girl. At this moment, the monster feels a sense of happiness during his travels. Hearing her voice made him somewhat bashful, which is why he concealed himself. He also exhibited a heroic trait by attempting to rescue the girl when she fell into the brook, showing his humanity, as he experienced empathy towards her.
In "Paragraphs 25-32," the monster's inquisitive nature reappears. This time, his focus shifts to the little boy, who is the sibling of "Victor Frankenstein." During this encounter, the monster is filled with sorrow and exhaustion. Upon catching sight of the boy, his instincts as a monster take over. Even though he desired the boy's friendship, the child labeled him an "Ugly wretch." This enraged him, resulting in the boy's death.
2. In what ways do the similarities and differences in these scenes contribute to the monster's character development?
<pBoth scenes illustrate the
monster's curiosity while he hides in the fields. The emotions the monster experiences when confronting the girl and the boy show how he approached each of them. He displayed
joy upon seeing the girl, while in contrast,
he was depleted and despondent when he encountered the boy. This contrast highlights his capacity for compassion towards the girl, which can swiftly shift to overpowering brutality when faced with the boy.

-There is a conflict involving characters.
Hamlet is confronting his mother, Gertrude, in her private quarters. Polonius, who is eavesdropping because he suspects Hamlet is insane, hides behind the tapestry in the Queen's room. Gertrude feels threatened by Hamlet and calls for assistance; Polonius cries out, leading Hamlet to kill him under the mistaken belief that it was Claudius.
-There is a lack of suspense. Hamlet's error is revealed and the tragedy continues.
-The protagonist (Hamlet) has not triumphed over the tragedy. Indeed, the play concludes tragically.
-This is not the play's conclusion. Consequently, there isn’t an unhappy ending for the protagonist.
The final two lines of Shakespeare's sonnets can be summarized with these three points:
- These lines form a couplet: two rhyming lines that follow one another.
- They generally rhyme with each other, although exceptions can occur.
- They alter the rhythm of the sonnet: a Shakespearean sonnet consists of 14 lines, with the initial 12 divided into three quatrains of four lines each, where the theme and issue are introduced. The rhyme pattern here is abab cdcd efef, which is concluded in the final two lines that rhyme as gg.
For instance:
When I / do COUNT / the CLOCK / that TELLS / the TIME (Sonnet 12)
When IN / dis GRACE / with FOR / tune AND / men's EYES
I ALL / a LONE / be WEEP / my OUT/ cast STATE (Sonnet 29)
Shall I / com PARE/ thee TO / a SUM / mer's DAY?
Thou ART / more LOVE / ly AND / more TEM / per ATE (Sonnet 18)
Whitman's metaphor of a small house highlights two contrasting elements:
The poet Walt Whitman has drawn attention to the scents and aromas as a metaphor. He intertwines the sense of smell with memories associated with places, discussing the aroma of a room or a house. Additionally, he references the fragrance of books on the shelves.
The two contrasting elements he specifically notes regarding the memories linked to the house are the scent of the room or house itself and the aroma of the books present. Both of these evoke recollections of our past experiences.
