@conor_okane0105 How does making these events stand out add to the underlying theme of the novel?

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

OOA: "fence" gives off a heavy, oppressive mood during the description of European civilization. Theme: Europeans don't appreciate nature.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@katiesalerno1 The African Culture was mixed with those of the Europeans, such as the Christian faith. Their culture changed dramatically.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@PayalThakkar5 Devastation, sadness, and even a feeling of emptiness.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@katiesalerno1 What literary element do the capital letters play a role in supporting?

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@Kiera__Lane By using the similar sound repeatedly, the reader should be drawn to the three words which have a negative connotation.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

OOA: "dropped down dead" Alliteration emphasizes devastated characterization of the Africans. Adds to theme that colonization ruined lives.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@Nicolette_2014 Yes! On the same page, the word "rushed" was used. This word contradicts "still".

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@MrsOsterhaus I really think the novel is trying to connect to nature, and using water to describe the feelings really add to this.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@Kiera__Lane What is the author's purpose of this? Is it just characterization, or does it relate to a theme?

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

OOA: "Still" Emphasizes the serene, calm mood the people in Africa feel. Adds to the theme that Europeans don't appreciate nature.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@katiesalerno1 The people on the farm often feel lonely, or out of place due to their surroundings.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@Max_Galarce Does "servile" in this context refer to slavery or servitude? Are the Lilliputians looked down upon in the novel?

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

OOA: "Dripped" This emphasizes the melancholy feelings they felt on the farms. Something dripping is very slow, and may seem never ending.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@GunjanNachane @MrsOsterhaus I agree. With Victor as his mentor, the monster could have been benevolent!

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@GunjanNachane @MrsOsterhaus What humans do you think had a greater impact on the monster? The DeLacey's or Victor Frankenstein?

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@MrsOsterhaus Nurture - The monster lacked compassion from his creator, and being neglected didn't allow him to learn love and goodness.

[Taylor Breiter @T_Breiter]

@MrsOsterhaus I liked the frame narrative. It reminded me of the story 'Celebrated Jumping Frog From Calaveras County' from last year!
