Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. Esther Lobetkin, a recent immigrant, became chairman of her Yiddish-speaking group,

marching with the strikers by day, then rushing to Clinton Hall to report and attend meetings until the small hours of the morning. A sandwich at midnight and an hour of sleep were all she seemed to need. Although she was arrested time and again, she never failed to yell from the back of the patrol wagon, "Do not lose courage! We'll win yet!" Which best states the author's purpose for naming and describing Esther Lobetkin in the text?

<span>Daisy was in a relationship with Gatsby at an early age. He has been gone for 10 years and she had thought he died in WW1. Gatsby was Daisy's first love and she had put him and their relationship on a pedestal. At first their is disbelief that Gatsby is in fact not dead but alive. She is madly in love with him and does not understand how he is still alive and is enraptured by the enigma and mysterious circumstances his appearance has brought into her life. After the death of Myrtle Wilson, Daisy is able to return back to her normal life. The ease in which she is able to actually do this is testament to the societal views towards women at the time. Women were viewed as helpless and Daisy was probably thought incapable of a vicious murder so the police did not pursue an indictment. Her husband was also a powerful businessman and must have certainly had clout in the political sphere.</span>

Did you find the resolution of Frankenstein satisfactory? Why or why not? (Frankenstein)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Yes, the resolution of the novel is satisfactory.

Victor's refusal to do his part of being a 'parent' to the creature is a grave mistake on his part. He should have been ready to take care of him and help him in his needs, however monstrous he may be. But by denying the love and care for his 'child', he is indirectly responsible for how the creature turned up to be, devoid of care, love, and humanistic qualities that Victor could have taught him.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley's gothic novel <em>Frankenstein</em><em> </em>tells the story of how a young scientist surpasses the normal conventions of science and gave life to a creature he will only despise and abhor. The story delves into the nature of humanity and how evil breeds and to beget evil deeds.

Victor Frankenstein's decision to abhor his own created being led to the monster retaliating against him. He began to torture and wreak havoc in his life, killing his near and dear ones. This, I think, is understandable for his own creator denounces and ignores him, leaving him alone in the world. The resolution of Frankenstein which is the death of Victor and his decision to leave everything behind to go up north is satisfactory. Victor, as the creator of the monster, ignores his duty of taking care of his 'child'. This is the parental mistake that will haunt his whole life, and in his case, destroy his world.

This resolution is satisfactory for, in his refusal to take care of his own 'child', he commits the grave mistake of being a parent. And for that, he deserves to suffer for all the wrongs that he had done on the creature, even the very sin of giving him life from the numerous dead parts of many people. If he wasn't ready to play his role of a parent and a creator, he shouldn't have done the deed of giving life to it.
