Frankenstein question. need if you were to do an internet search of the word frankenstein, you would get over 13 million results, most of which do not refer to mary shelleys novel. frankenstein, the monster, has been the star of numerous films, and the term "a frankenstein" indicates the potential result of any sort of controversial scientific experiment.
write a five-paragraph essay analyzing the influence frankenstein has had in popular culture and science. the first paragraph should include an attention-getter and your thesis statement. the three body paragraphs should explore specific examples of "frankenstein" in popular culture and/or science.
can someone me a little bit on this. it doesn't need to be five paragraphs just so i have something to go off of. i'm stuck..

Tricky one.

Do the body paragraphs first, and then make the leading paragraph, using your best attention-getting info.

I can think of a few things:

1. Frankenstein as a word in the English language. It didn't exist until Mary Shelley wrote the book, and now it has a meaning of its own.  Frankenstein:  A thing that becomes terrifying or destructive to its maker.

2. The theme of the story has been used in many films, including The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Comedy: Young Frankenstein. And horror films, of course.
So the idea of the story has permeated to many areas of our society.
3. I would try to say something about the film version that was made in 1910! It must have been an interesting idea if they wanted to spend so much on a film, way back then!

I can't think of anything else, but I hope this gets you started.  Good luck!

The answer is d. prior knowledge. she breaks it into parts in order to figure out what other words have the same parts to the word and put the meanings together.
