Victor frankenstein continues recounting the influences that lead to his great experiment:
an accident again changed the current of my ideas. when i was about fifteen years old we had retired to our house near belrive, when we witnessed a most violent and terrible
thunderstorm. it advanced from behind the mountains of jura, and the thunder burst at once with frightful loudnese from various quarters of the heavens. i remained, while the
storm lasted, watching its progress with curiosity and delight. as i stood at the door, on a sudden i beheld a streas of fire issue from an old and beautiful oak which stood
about twenty yards from our house, and so soon as the dazzling light vanished, the oak had disappeared, and nothing remained but a blasted stump. when we visited it the
next morning, we found the tree shattered in a singular manner. it was not splintered by the shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of wood. i never beheld anything so
utterly destroyed.
before this i was not unacquainted with the more obvious laws of electricity. on this occasion a man of great research in natural philosophy was with us, and excited by this
catastrophe, he entered on the explanation of a theory which he had formed on the subject of electricity and galvanism, which was at once new and astonishing to me. all that
he said threw greatly into the shade cornelius agrippa, albertus magnus, and paracelsus, the lords of my imagination, but by some fatality the overthrow of these men
disinclined me to pursue my accustomed studies. it seemed to me as if nothing would or could ever be known. all that had so long engaged my attention suddenly grew
ch we are perhaps most subject to in early youth, i at once gave up my former occupations, set down natural history and
all its progeny as a deformed and abortive creation, and entertained the greatest disdain for a would-be science which could never even step within the threshold of real
knowledge. in this mood of mind i betook myself to the mathematics and the branches of study appertaining to that science as being built upon secure foundations, and so
worthy of my consideration
what is the main benefit of letting the narrator describe a human's inability to stop nature?
it creates an unrealistic sense of the powerful nature of the narrator.
it creates tension in that all events are seen against coming failure and grief.
it suggests the events are more or less within the narrator's control.
it suggests the narrator is growing more and more .

explanation:

communication is extremely important in any relationship. importance of communication has been stressed upon time and again. lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.

it is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. they share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. there is a lively atmosphere in such families. they laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-hearted. they never feel lonely or bored. they know whenever they want to talk about something or share an emotion they always have an ear to listen to. such is the importance of communication.

compared to this, the families where all the members are engrossed in their own tasks and do not bother to care about or talk to people around them are usually not as happy. the atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. people are busy with their own tasks. they have friends outside and are not as close with their family members.

they plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members. this is because they have neglected the importance of communication all along and are thus not comfortable communicating with each other. and without good communication there is no way one can enjoy.

source text: from the sketch here given it will be seen, that our good grandmothers differed considerably in their ideas of a fine figure, from their scantily dressed descendants of the present day. a fine lady, in those times, waddled under more clothes even on a fair summer's day, than would have clad the whole bevy of a modern ball room. nor were they the less admired by the gentlemen in consequence thereof. on the contrary, the greatness of a lover's passion seemed to increase in proportion to the magnitude of its object—and a voluminous damsel, arrayed in a dozen of petticoats, was declared by a low-dutch sonnetteer of the province, to be radiant as a sunflower, and luxuriant as a full blown cabbage. certain it is, that in those days, the heart of a lover could not contain more than one lady at a time; whereas the heart of a modern gallant has often room enough to accommodate half a dozen - - the reason of which i conclude to be, either that the hearts of the gentlemen have grown larger, or the persons of the ladies smaller — this however is a question for physiologists to determine. add punctuation to the following excerpt. writing under the name of diedrich knickerbocker washington irving aimed his potent satire at as diverse topics as political rivals such as thomas jefferson to the very ideal of looking back on the past affectionately: a fine lady, in those times, waddled under more clothes even on a fair summer's day, than would have clad the whole bevy of a modern ball room. a voluminous damsel, arrayed in a dozen of petticoats, was declared by a low-dutch sonnetteer of the province, to be radiant as a sunflower, and luxuriant as a full blown cabbage. in those days, the heart of a lover could not contain more than one lady at a time; whereas the heart of a modern gallant has often room enough to accommodate half a dozen
