Written Response Question: Both Victor and the creature participate in two types of education: self-teaching and modeled teaching Self-teaching is when you learn something completely on your own (through reading, experimenting, etc), without anyone to show you what to do or guide your process. Modeled teaching is formal education, or learning by observing others as they do the thing you want to know how to do.  What appears to be Mary Shelley’s opinion on these ideas based on the experiences of both characters? Use specific quotes from the book to support your ideas.  This does not need to be a full essay with an introduction and conclusion.  You might consider structuring this with one paragraph for self-teaching as it impacts both characters and one for modeled teaching, or 4 separate short paragraphs on how each type impacts each character.  Let me know if you have questions!  Remember that the goal is to explain what you think Shelley’s opinion is on these types of education, based on what you find in the text, so you should also add a sentence or two at the end synthesizing your argument and answering that question.

Peggy Fender is well known to the emergency department (ED) staff. She’s a 59-year-old woman whose visit today is similar to her frequent visits in the past. She arrives in the afternoon, appearing intoxicated and complaining of abdominal pain, particularly in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of her abdominopelvic cavity. Tim, the PA on call conducts a physical examination. Mrs. Fender appears emaciated with bruising of various ages on her arms, legs, and face. She is jaundiced (yellow-skinned) and has the strong smell of alcohol on her breath. Tim palpates the inferior border of her liver, which is hard and enlarged; Mrs. Fender moans with pain. Her entire abdomen is ascetic (third spacing). Blood tests are done and show elevated blood liver enzymes aminotransferases (ALT & AST), hyperglycemia, and prolonged prothrombin time (PT – slowed clotting time). Based on her history, and present findings, Tim diagnosis Mrs. Fender with alcoholic cirrhosis, which is the result of chronic inflammation of the liver from heavy, consistent alcohol ingestion. If alcohol abuse continues long-term, it leads to fat accumulation in the liver, followed by fibrosis and severe liver dysfunction.  1. Mrs. Fender is jaundiced. What is jaundice and why does it occur with liver disease? 2. What information is supplied by the increased AST and ALT blood levels – what does their presence in the blood indicate? 3. Mrs. Fender’s prolonged clotting times and excessive bruising are related. Why do these two things happen when alcohol damages hepatocytes?4. Often, an individual with liver disease exhibits increased plasma ammonia levels, why would this occur? 5. Explain why she has ascitis (third spacing), what is the specific cause and why does it commonly occur with liver disease? 2.) Carrie Oakey is a 52-year old Caucasian female. She is 5’3″ tall and weighs 195 pounds. She is the mother of four children ranging in age from 10 – 18 years and has gained weight after each of her pregnancies. She works full-time and doesn’t have much time for exercise. She wants to lose weight and isn’t happy with her body (she has a 39″ waist). She tries to eat well but eats fast food 2 – 3X per week and claims she “lives off of diet Coke”. She has been feeling tired lately and made an appointment with her doctor because a coworker told her she might have a problem with her thyroid gland. Her physician completes a physical and orders blood work. Her heart rate and blood pressure are within the normal ranges. The blood work comes back with the following abnormalities: Serum triglyceride level: 200 mg/dL, HDL cholesterol: 48 mg/dL, fasting blood glucose: 130 mg/dL – her thyroid hormone levels are within normal limits. Her doctor tells her that he thinks she has “metabolic syndrome”. He explains that this syndrome can increase her risk of type II diabetes or cardiovascular disease. She is told metabolic syndrome is becoming more common and that it has also been known as “syndrome X” or “insulin resistance syndrome”. She decides to research this condition on the internet to share it with others.  1. How is metabolic syndrome diagnosed? (list 3 specific criteria for diagnosis) 2. What are factors that increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome (list 2). 3. Why is it such a concern? (what diseases does it increase the risk for – list 2). 4. How can it be prevented? (list 2 specific dietary/lifestyle factors). 5. How specifically does stress lead to insulin resistance?
