For the summary questions, are we supposed to just cite the first question or all of them? For the other letters we cited all the questions so I was wondering if it applied to these questions as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you ahead of time.
MONA- I believe we are supposed to cite the pages for all the questions, as we did for the other letters last night.
ReplyDeleteYou have to cite for all the questions Mona =)

ReplyDelete1. Identify four similarities between Frankenstein and Walton (cite).
2. Describe setting.
3. Describe Frankenstein (cite).
I think you would just cite the first and third questions.
Are we supposed to answer the questions that we think of? or do we just have to answer and cite the questions for the summary?

ReplyDeleteOh, ok thanks matt =)
ReplyDeleteNo problem, denise
ReplyDeleteWe have to ANSWER and CITE the summary questions. We so not have to answer our own questions.
ReplyDeleteAnother question how long is chapter 4?
ReplyDeleteDo you mean letter 4??? if so, it is about nine pages.
ReplyDeleteI mean from what pages to what pages, like from 29-37?
ReplyDeleteAlso what does it mean the similarity from Frankenstein and the captain?
Oh,sorry. Letter 4 are pages 29-27. when it says similarities between the captain and Frankenstein, it means what's similar about them, meaning what they have in common.
ReplyDeleteDenise-
ReplyDeleteThe pages are from 29 - 37.
I think the question means what are the similarities of the captain and the stranger who is Dr. Frankenstein.
Oh ok thanks Matt and Winne =)
ReplyDeletebecause i didn't find Dr Frankenstein's name any where and i was wondering what she meant
do u have to answer the summary question for each chapter or for the whole thing. i am tlking about the first three chapters by the way. I did the summary questions for each letter and a lot people didnt do that.
ReplyDeleteUmar: The paper says read Pages 17-28 then answer questions. I don't think you needed to answer the questions 3 times since the paper didn't say specifically to do that. I hope I answered your question.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone get what "whither are you bound" means? I found it on page 30, the stranger asked that to the captain.
ReplyDeleteMaureen: I pretty sure the quote means "where the ship is going to go" or "where this ship is "bound" to go". Hope it helps.
ReplyDeleteJames i just answered the summary question 4 times for each chapter. I just did that because it had different answers.
ReplyDeleteI also had some questions on this chapter 4 or letter 4.
ReplyDeleteIn Page 31 is Walton talking about the man they found or about a story told by man they found?
In page 37 I didn't understand this page very much.
What I hate about this book is that I sometimes don't know who is who and what they are saying.
Danny: To be honest, I'm not sure any more. I did the 4 questions for all 3 letters
ReplyDeleteYou have to answer the summary questions at the end, Umar.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the way they described the stranger on page 31.
ReplyDeleteDreadful - Extremely unpleasant; distasteful or shocking
Emaciated - To make or become extremely thin, especially as a result of starvation.
Wretched - In a deplorable state of distress or misfortune; miserable
Yes James I agree with you. The reason they describe like that because he was dieing in seeking someone who fled from him. It gives a good picture how much effort he put into achieving this goal.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the stranger is supposed to be frankenstein? if not then who is the stranger???
ReplyDeletegood point, Danny.
ReplyDeletezuri, I believe the stranger is Frankenstein.
ReplyDeleteDanny: Yeah totally. By the way a "she" wrote this.
ReplyDeleteI agree with James because they were talking about direction.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys :]
ReplyDeleteZuri- The man they found is Frankenstein (common sense!)
1)What is the "quelling the dark tyranny of despair" mean?
ReplyDelete2)What is paroxysm?
3)Is he telling his sister that he will be dead? ( he says that he will be in her possession)
4)What does " decaying frame of the stranger" mean?
Thank you ahead of time for answering my questions.
Does anyone else find it funny that the color scheme of this blog, black and green are the signature colors of Frankenstein?

ReplyDeleteWhere is "quelling the dark tyranny of despair" at?
I think it has to do with the poem topics we did in class today.
ReplyDeleteThe "quelling the dark tyranny of despair" is page 35.
ReplyDeleteConciliating: to over come animosity
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/conciliating
The stranger has over come his feelings and is a little more freindlier, although he is still timid.
Matt, the only reason the blog is like this is because of the book and it is not meant to be funny, only to make it look more appealing.
ReplyDeleteWords I looked up that was useful when I read the book:
ReplyDeleteCountenance: calm facial expression
Amiable: friendly; sociable
Apparition: anything that appears, something remarkable or startling

My own dictionary: "American Dictionary, All - New Forth Edition"
Can anyone tell me why they call Frankenstein "stranger" and not just Frankenstein ?
ReplyDeleteReally nice questions, answers and ideas. I did purposely chose black to be funny AND thematic. Why do you think Walton did not call him Frankenstein? Has "the stranger" stated his name or his story? If not, how could Walton say his name?
ReplyDeleteYou do have to cite all questions but do not have to do the three questions for 1-3 3 times. The questions are for the entire reading passage, not chapters.
See you tomorrow.
Hey guys quick question:
ReplyDeleteIs Frankenstein the man whom the crew and Captain Robert found? and a little inference, i think the man he was chasing was the actual monster, Frankenstein.
