Writing Practice

Create a thesis that addresses this question: Why does Mary Shelley refuse to name Frankenstein's monster?

Write two sentences of analysis for this quote:

"Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed?"

Take this factual statement:

The monster explains why and how he killed Frankenstein’s brother

and rewrite it so that relates it to one of the following analysis points:

Relate the statement to character impact. “This is important because it drives the plot in this way…”

Relate it back to an author’s decision. “Shelley chose to do this because…”

Relate it back to a plot device (foreshadowing).

Relate it back to reader impact Connect it to larger themes within the book.
