Can man create life? This is one of the many questions observed in the Progeny Press Frankenstein Study Guide. Dr. Frankenstein believes that he can do such a thing: bring life forth from what once was dead. The guide sections each cover 2-6 chapters and start with vocabulary taken directly from those chapters. Comprehension questions ask students about details from their reading and the Analysis questions draw on critical thinking and observations from the readings. Each section ends with establishing biblical connections with the literature. Literary skills include tone, mood, foreshadowing, verisimilitude, allusion, characterization, point of view, story structure, and more. Prereading Activities provide context before reading. The post-reading essays help readers make further connections to the text and showcase what they have learned. A catered list of age-appropriate Further Resources is provided. Answers are in the back on perforated pages for easy removal. 89 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
A brilliant student, Victor Frankenstein, comes upon the knowledge of creating life. Expecting glory and hoping to benefit humanity, Frankenstein creates a man - only to discover that creation carries more consequences and responsibilities than he foresaw. The resulting tragedy speaks directly to some of the issues facing us in science and medicine today.
Years later, Robert Walton is a young man driven by his desire for knowledge and exploration - he wants to make his mark on the world. But he finds something entirely different. As the sea ice closes in on his ship, he and his crew sight a strange, gigantic being driving a dogsled across the frozen wasteland, finally disappearing into the distance. The next day they find an ill and dying man floating on a fragment of ice and persuade him to come on board for his safety. As his ship lies trapped by the surrounding ice, Walton spends many hours talking with the ill man, a Victor Frankenstein of Geneva. As they talk, Frankenstein slowly reveals his story to Walton.
