<u>Fire in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley:</u>
In the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, the scientist named Victor Frankenstein resurrects a dead body and bridges the space between life and death.
With the help of some stolen organs and assorted limbs of corpses he builds a lifeless body and brings the creature into life. Then the creature swears a revenge against Victor for bringing him into this cruel world.
Fire, the dual-edged sword of light provides warmth, light and protects from wild animals and in addition to that has many destructive effects.
The Greek god Prometheus bestowed the knowledge of fire upon humans and then as a result of this got punished. Likewise, Victor Frankenstein gets punished and his knowledge of secret of life remains a secret.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?
A. "imaginary" and "aside"
B. "sash" and "swords"
C. "slashing" and "lunged"
D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"
Answer:
The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".
Explanation:
<u>When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. </u>The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. <u>If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.</u>
