Frankenstein PEAR Paragraphs

  Write 2-3 well-developed, related PEAR paragraphs of 750-1000 words (combined) about Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Use either the PEAR or PEAEAR paragraph structure for each paragraph. Choose a topic that interests you and one that think might be a possible topic of investigation in a longer paper, although you are not committed to this topic for Paper 2. For example, you might use a key concept or question from our discussions about Frankenstein as the basis of your paragraphs, or you could formulate your own question/topic. It may be helpful to begin by posing the question that your PEAR paragraphs seek to answer, or to rephrase the question as a thesis statement. You do not need an introduction or conclusion for this paper; however, if you chose to begin the paper with a thesis statement or question, this can stand alone in the first paragraph. For example, you might begin with questions such as these, developed from Frankenbook discussion questions: What approaches to learning do the narrators of Frankenstein take? What counts as knowledge or appropriate areas of study and what as “nonsense,” and to whom? In what ways is Victor like and unlike a parent in regards to the Creature?
