Reed Richards desire to learn began at an early age around when his mother, Evelyn, passed away. From that point, his father raised and schooled him, recognizing his son’s intellect. By the time he was 14, Reed was already taking college level courses and had attended four universities earning various degrees before leaving his teens. Victor von Doom, unlike Richards, had a tragic childhood. Was born in Latveria, a small European country thaat grew out of Hungary. Victor barely knew his mother, Cynthia, a witch who had invoked the demon Mephisto for power, which raged out of control before she was finally slain by a soldier. Before dying, she asked his father, Werner to protect young Victor from Mephisto. Eventually Victor's father, a doctor, was treating the King’s wife. When Werner could not cure her cancer, Vladimir blamed him for his wife's death, and Werner fled with Victor. Werner died from exposure to the cold while protecting his son. Before dying, Werner placed Victor into the care of his best friend, Boris, and tried to warn his son of the fearful life he foresaw him falling into, but he died before he could make Victor understand. After discovering his mother's mystical artifacts, Victor trained himself in sorcery. He began an annual contest against Mephisto, attempting to set his mother's soul free. By the time he was a teenager, he had also become a scientific genius and used his inventions to wage a one-man war against the monarchy of Latveria, always a step ahead of them. His genius was heard of even in America, and he was invited to New Yorks’s Empire State University on a scholarship. And while Victor had been in love with Boris' granddaughter Valeria, but he left her behind as his desire to acquire knowledge and... ... middle of paper ... ...reads this text, it will be clear to them that I care about and understand the topic Word ChoiceMy words are specific and correctly used so my readers will know exactly what I meanAll of my words and phrases are natural, effective, and appropriate; some of them are also memorable and powerful Sentence FluencyMy sentences are put together well and in a way that enhances the meaningI use a variety of sentence lengths and structures in my workWhen I read my work out loud, it flows well and has rhythm ConventionsI have reviewed my spelling, capitalization, and punctuation for correctnessMy grammar , paragraphing, and usage are correct and help me define my style while also communicating clearly PresentationThe formatting suits the purpose of the workI use the appropriate amount of white space on the pageI use appropriate fonts, font size, titles, and headingWord Count:
Before leaving Victor, his mother died of scarlet fever, and the family was left in the care of Frankensteins Elizabeth. Victor zealously took up the study. It turned out that the work of medieval alchemists who was fond of the young man, hopelessly outdated, so he had to study modern science, especially chemistry, with the basics. After two years, Victor has achieved great success. Fascinated by physiology, he decided to identify "where lurk start in life," and soon reached his goal - to open a way to revive the lifeless matter. To apply the knowledge in practice, he gathered from various parts of the body found in the morgues, tombs and in slaughterhouses. Victor dreamed of a perfect being, a new breed of
Victor Frankenstein is a 16 year old boy who enjoys his life in Geneva. His family includes: his mother, father, distant cousin and his brothers, the most important being his twin. His twin brother Konrad is much more charismatic, he is loved by all and has won over the heart of Elizabeth, their distant cousin.

They are then scolded for being down there, and they are warned that alchemy is illegal in their time. When his brother suddenly
This impact of the change of narration gives us a better understanding of each person, and we see that the monster is not such a monster at all. We begin with Victor’s story, firstly of his past family life and then the build up to his immoral creation, his scientific motives. We see what drove him to this terrible crime, and we are given an insight into his ‘dangerous’ passion. He wanted to create life, to make a human being, and increase his knowledge of science.
Everything starts to change once Victors ambitions become his life. He leaves to study at Ingolstadt, where his destiny begins to unfold. This is when Victor’s isolation begins. The search for the secrets of life consumes him for many years until he thinks he has found it. For months, he assembles what he needs for his creation to come alive.
The strengths in my writing are my organizational skills, grammatical construct, and my work ethic. Organizing an essay is a very natural process for me. I always follow the basic guidelines for the structure of an essay, which state that one must have an introduction, thesis statement, body, conclusion, and a works cited when needed. The “Are Helicopter Parents Entering the No Fly Zone?” essay, “Animal Cloning—How Unethical Is It?” essay, and the “The Clean Water Act—Is it Successfully Reducing Water Pollution?” essay all have a proper introduction, an informative thesis statement, a body, great conclusions, and works cited pages. Formatting the essays is an integral aspect of organizational skills. Each new paragraph is indented, the font is twelve-point Times New Roman, the sentences are double spaced, and the headers are correct.
Victor was born into a happy family and they lived in Geneva. His parents then adopted Elizabeth, whom he immediately felt a strong sense of possession towards. At a young age, Victor was always obsessed with alchemy and constantly divulged in experiments to prove the words of the mad men who wrote the ancient texts. When his mother died after her attempt to care for Elizabeth, Victor was sent to Ingolstadt where his interest swayed from alchemy to modern knowledge. In Ingolstadt, he became fascinated with the human body: “One of the phenomena which had peculiarly attracted [his] attention was the structure of the human frame, and, indeed, any animal endued with life” (36). Learning from his professor M. Krempe, he decided to delve into the discovery of “the secrets of heaven and earth” (23).
At the age of seventeen, victor leaves his family and attends a university at Ingolstadt. Like a mad scientist, and to the knowledge of no one, he locks himself away in his apartment and after two years of obsessive labor he creates his monster. Even during this time of following his passion, Victor is miserable and suffers from illness. “and now every day showed me more plainly how well I had succeeded. But my enthusiasm was checked by my anxiety, and I appeared rather like one doomed by slavery to toil in the mines, or any other unwholesome trade, than an artist occupied by his favourite employment. Every night I was oppressed by a slow fever, and I became nervous to a most painful degree; the fall of a leaf startled me, and I shunned my fellow-creatures as if ...
Victor Frankenstein, the monster’s creator, is the victim of his own pride. An ego unchecked is a dangerous thing. But in truth, it really just shows Victor’s humanity. He is privileged, educated, talented, loved, adored, but he is not perfect. His flaw is his own ego and pride. Without doubt, this is the result of a childhood where he was overindulged. Overindulged to the extent he was given a little girl “Elizabeth” as a “present”, whom he considered from childhood “mine only” (Shelley 21). Little wonder the twenty year old Victor would think he could create, control and command life. But Victor as with any indulged child did not take the time to learn much from his parents about parenting and fath...
I would like to start off with thanking you for having the time to review the work and effort that I have put into my English 101 Final Portfolio. In the time in class that I have had this quarter I have learned new techniques that I had not known before in writing, for example I have learned about how to build paragraphs in a correct formal way. In my work in the portfolio I hope to show how my skills as a writer have improved from the work I have done before. I plan to take the experience that I have had in this class and take it with me to help me improve as a student on other class topics. In the time that I have been in class I believe that it has helped me in a positive way to help me manage my time, along with building my confidence in writing. In this beginning of the quarter I had many challenges when it came to writing a paper and I feel that I have improved my skills when it came to writing an essay.
These factors are similar to how writing styles affect your reader. No matter how great your grammar and punctuation are: poor diction, voice, and non-concise writing will ruin your credibility. Many students and writers throw these rough choices around like a jump shot in the d...
The pursuit of knowledge is expressed through the alluring antagonist, Victor. Victors pursuit of knowledge lead him to a destructive future. It was his ambition and determination to animate a being lead him to a remorseful future. Victor ventured to go beyond human capabilities by ascertaining the elixir of life and attempting to outdo God, but it ultimately lead to his misery. Victor tells of his fascination with natural philosophy and works by Cornelius Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, and Paracelsus. Victor set off to college at Ingolstadt, he attended a presentation taught by M. Waldman which set the Victor on a path in which he would "pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation." He was in the anatomy of a human Victor’s goal was to ...
According to the author, communication has no set uniform restriction of style. Many unique styles appear in all forms of writing. For all styles of writing, make sure grammar, spelling, punctuations, etc., exhibit throughout. When writing, remember to write in a clear and direct manner. Have confidence revealing facts or knowledge and provide examples when needed to help back up the thesis and sub points and to allow for more information about the writing.
Evidence of this thirst for knowledge occurs when Victor states, “The world to me a secret which I desired to divine. Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as they were unfolded to me, are among the earliest sensations I can remember.” As he grows, Frankenstein describes how became absorbed with natural philosophy, but when he witnessed a lightning strike on a tree, he concludes that everything he has studied has been wrong. This is an important part of Victor’s life because it helps frame his mindset about what he wants to focus on, specifically the applications of electricity. When he is old enough, Victor leaves for Ingolstadt. However, his mother, who he strongly admires, dies from scarlet fever, which she caught from Elizabeth. The impact of his mother’s death is significant because this death can be noted as the trigger of Victor’s interest in bringing dead existences back to
Victor’s disturbing past began once Elizabeth caught scarlet fever. It delayed his trip to Ingolstadt. Victor’s mother was able to cure Elizabeth, but she caught Elizabeth’s fever. Victor’s mother, Caroline, died
Having an adaptive writing style is an indispensible tool in every writer’s kit. No matter what the topic of discussion, a writer must possess the ability to convey a meaningful message to the audience they are addressing. The challenge lies in converting discussions from an academic journal or technical research document to a level understandable by that general audience to which you are addressing. In this paper, I will discuss how I approach choices of vocabulary, sentence length, and sentence structure when adapting a piece of technical or specialized writing.
