Written Response Question: Both Victor and the creature part…
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.
