Persuasive Essay Frankenstein

As shown, the decision by Victor to create the monster a partner could have disastrous consequences. However, it likely a better idea to attempt it. This is because of the fact that the creature threatened to continue killing if Victor refused. Because of this, the odds are better for Victor to try his hand at another creation. Despite it seeming wrong in many ways, especially morally, it could definitely have a decent chance to protect Victor and his loved ones from this abomination he

​Victor decides to destroy the mate he is creating because he feels tricked from the creatures smile. Victor is afraid that the girl creature is going to reject him and roam somewhere in the world, she might be stronger than he is, and she might even kill him. i know this because it shows and says in the book what i just typed here. When Victor Frankenstein destroyed the monster it made the monster very angry because as you know victor destroyed it because of the creatures creepy smile and at that time victor didn't feel tricked by the monster but when he seen the creatures smile he felt

Victor, possessed by the immediate construction of his monster, did not consider the long term affects of creating such a being. The consequences, of course, proved to be extremely negative, and could have been prevented if Victor had paused to consider. After Frankenstein’s experience with the monster and all the tragedy it brings him, he says, “My imagination was vivid, yet my powers of analysis and application were intense; by the union of these qualities I conceived the idea and executed the creation of a man. Even now I cannot recollect without passion my reveries while the work was incomplete. I trod heaven in my thoughts, now exulting in my powers, now burning with the idea of their effects,” (Shelley 167). Unfortunately, Frankenstein realized his mistaken mindset too late, and desperately desired to have known what effects his power would have before he let his ambition consume him. As the novel proceeds, Frankenstein also did not imagine the consequences of abandoning his creation. Once he found that his creation had disappeared, he was relived and did not stop to consider the effects of letting a new species run wild in the countryside. If he would have considered these consequences, many deaths could have been avoided. For a brief moment, Frankenstein sympathized with the monster and created a companion for him, but

Over 7,500 animals are killed in zoos because they are deemed surplus, as stated by Liz Tyson an animals rights activist. This giraffe in particular sparked a huge controversy. HIs name was Marius, he was homed at the Copenhagen Zoo and was 2 years old when the staff killed him with a bolt gun. Marius was then dissected and fed to lions in front of ongoing zoo goers. What got people fuming is that he was a healthy, young giraffe. Therefore I believe the killing of Marius should not be justified.

The cost of college tuition is continually on the rise and has placed many burdens on high school students as well as their families. Some of the burdens that are placed are a result of parents putting pressure on their children to earn scholarships. Some of the burden is a result of students putting pressure on themselves to earn scholarships. Then, there is the burden of high college debt once the student graduates. Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

Once he’s brought the monster to life, Victor is terrified by what he’s made with his own hands, causing him to abandon the monster, hoping that it will die on it’s own. Later in the book, the reader as well as Victor learn that the monster wasn’t a vile creature at all, but rather a man who needed love. If victor had thought logically creating the monster, thought about how a thing that has been freshly made most likely didn’t have a monstrous bone in its body, the tragedy that followed after the monster was made, could have been avoided. Towards the end of the book, the monster reappears in Frankenstein’s life, threatening to kill all whom he loves if he does not make the monster a life companion. Victor refuses, and in response Frankenstein kills those that he loves, before he disappears himself, presumably off to kill

In contrast to having the feeling of acceptance, the creature had absolutely none shown towards him throughout the course of his life. Even when Victor made him for the first time he ran in horror and abandoned the creature. “He might have spoken, but I did not hear; one hand was stretched out, seemingly to detain me, but I escaped, and rushed downstairs” (Shelley 37). No one, not even his creator accepted him; this later proves the creature’s hatred towards Victor. Because of the way the creature looked, no one would accept him. “As soon as he beheld my form, he placed his hands before his eyes and uttered a shrill scream: I drew his hand forcibly from his face, and said, ‘Child, what is the meaning of this? I do not intend to hurt you; listen to me’ “(Shelley 103). Not even the innocence of a small child would look past his revolting appearance. Because of the lack of acceptance shown throughout the creature’s life, it caused him to shows no remorse for others.

One of the threats of creating a mate for the monster lies in the female’s physical ability to procreate. Victor is afraid that the female and the monster will produce children, with or without his approval. Through her feminine body, the female could unleash "a race of devils … who might make the very existence of the species of man a condition precarious and full of terror" (Shelley 144). She is the crucial element in naturally bringing about such offspring, for without the female, the monster is rendered impotent, unable to cause any more harm than he alone can inflict. If the female chooses to accept the role as mother and mate, together she and the monster can produce a generation of offspring taught to despise mankind as deeply as their predecessors. Victor recognizes the power the female has over man solely through her ability to bear children, because through this ability the female can do just as Victor does -- create life, naturally

As the monster says, Victor would be giving life to an unhappy creature. It would be wrong to do such horrible thing to another living create, he would be submitting them to a life of torture. Just because one person is living a life of misery doesn’t make it okay to force another into the same life. The next reason comes from Victor, when he says “I was alike ignorant; she might become ten thousand times more malignant than her mate and delight, for its own sake, in murder and wretchedness” (120). There is nothing to say that the female creature Victor creates wont be more evil and wicked than the first. She could become a killer and murder and Victor would be the one viable for it all. The last reason also comes from Victor when he says “He had sworn to quit the neighbourhood of man and hide himself in deserts, but she had not; and she, who in all probability was to become a thinking and reasoning animal, might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation” (120-121). Victor is saying that

Image if you were alone in this world and you had know parents, know clothes, and you had nobody. How would you feel? Well let me tell you what I would feel. I would feel alone and would want to have a friend to talk to and not have the feeling of being alone. I would want to have clothes. I would want a family and to love. So I think Dr. Victor Frankenstein made a mistake in killing the female monster.

In Frankenstein – A Critical Study from a Freudian Perspective, it compares the monster and Victor and concludes that the monster and Victor is the “mirror-inversion”, it states that they “both are intelligent and well educated, and both start out with the impulse to be good” (Johnson 3), for example: Victor is a “dutiful son and the monster in his efforts to help the de Lacey family”, and “Yet both end up as murderers, haunted and hunted by each other” (Johnson 3). I agree with this, Victor and the monster are like contradictory parts of a same person; the monster is active and energetic but also violent and cruel, it is like the evil side of Victor. And this is the reason that Victor constantly tries to get rid of the monster but fail to do so: the monster represents Victor’s dark side, and Victor can’t escape from his own negative thoughts. Moreover, every time when Victor makes the decision which relates to the monster, the monster is like a mirror that reflects Victor’s irresponsible, timid and selfish characters, and it’s the growing of these negative characters which lead Victor to frequently make the false decision. Overall, the monster makes Victor comes to a deep understanding of his characters: if Victor does not create the monster, he would never know how destructive his mind is; also,

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.

Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.
