Answer:

The novel Frankenstein is greatly influenced by the tale of Prometheus.

Explanation:

The full name of the book is <em>Frankenstein</em> or the <em>Modern Prometheus. </em>In Greek mythology, Prometheus is credited with the creation of humanity from clay, and stealing the God´s fire to give to humanity knowledge and enlightenment. He then was eternally condemned by Zeus, being bounded to a rock and having an eagle come every day to eat his liver, which would grow back overnight. In later western cultures, Prometheus became a figure that represented human striving, the quest for scientific knowledge, and the risk of unintended consequences. Victor Frankenstein, like Prometheus, wants to be a creator and hold the power of the Gods, by assembling a body from various corpses and trying to give it life, using the power of electricity (representation of Zeus). He then is tortured by his own creation for the rest of his days, like Prometheus. The gift of creating life comes along with the curse of the monster, whom Victor could not bare, and then goes on a killing spree for not being accepted. The killing spree of Frankenstein´s monster would be a representation of Pandora, who was sent by Zeus to release all the evils of humanity after Prometheus gifted them with the God´s fire.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

A Short Walk Around the Pyramids and through the World of Art

The glossary helps the reader to understand that:

The pyramids the author is referring to are located in Egypt.

Explanation:

The glossary serves as a dictionary of terms, names, or places specific to a certain subject to enable the readers to make references of unfamiliar terms and newly introduced ones throughout their reading of the book.  It is usually located at the back of a book in an alphabetical order.

Glossaries are very useful for helping students to identify and acquire the vocabulary of the discipline.  Some students find it difficult to understand specialized vocabularies used in their readings or in class.  Readings and class offer limited exposure when compared with what is written down in textbooks.  Glossaries, therefore, offer more and better exposure of the terms as students can refer to them at their own pace.

Crazy boy [7]
I already used this for a test so you might want to rephrase it:

<span>Scientists have often wondered what bellybutton lint is made up of. An Austrain chemist named Georg Steinhauser decided to find out, and since he had a belly button, he searched himself! He examined over 500 pieces to see what the lint has occupied. He found that it has cotton from clothes, AND dead skin, sweat, basically the stuff our body resists and extracts. Goerg Steinhauser found all this out within a teeny tiny part of your stomach.

Hope this helps!
