“Hey, kid, how old are you?” The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not see his face, but his voice was weary and warm.

“Fifteen.” “No. You’re eighteen.” “But I’m not,” I said. “I’m fifteen.” “Fool. Listen to what I say.” * * * [Dr. Mengele] looked like the typical SS officer: a cruel, though not unintelligent, face, complete with monocle. He was holding a conductor’s baton and was surrounded by officers. The baton was moving constantly, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left. In no time, I stood before him. “Your age?” he asked, perhaps trying to sound paternal. “I’m eighteen.” My voice was trembling. How is this excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s Night an example of an internal conflict? Select all that apply.
a. he corrects the inmate when the man gets Eliezer's age wrong
b. he is afraid of what Dr. Mengele is going to do to him
c. he considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he's not fifteen
d. he must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age

The correct answers are B, C and D.

This excerpt from Elie Wiesel's "Night" shows how Eliezer has to decide whether to accept the inmate's advice or not. He did not know the man, so he could not guess his intentions. He has an internal conflic about whether he should trust the inmate and lie about his age or not.

However, the fear produced by what Dr. Mengele could do to him if he was underaged makes him take the advice and lie.

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.
