the reefs
by marcella morris
she clutched her lab work to her side and walked briskly towards school. the snow fell in typical new york flurries, and the ground was still icy from last nightâs freeze. careful not to slip, she climbed the steps and crossed the campus toward the science building.
"what am i doing? " she murmured. sophieâs worst habit was talking to herself in public. "i have been warned."
"you are just a high-school kid, sophie," they warned. "what makes you think you are capable of solving this crucial environmental issue? stop wasting your time." the professors would not give her laboratory time to complete research nor would they share their expertise with her.
but, she could not stop.
after a snorkeling trip she took with her aunt to the coral reefs, she felt that something had shifted inside her. the snorkeling guide made one fact very clear: these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. in fact, weâd be lucky if they lasted five more years. she cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. she had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans, and many more.
she used her money to create a lab at her auntâs house. she worked tirelesslyâendlesslyâsleeping only when she had to.
"itâs what mom and dad would have done," she thought.
sophie's best friend, sam, would hang out with her every dayâeating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while she worked on her experiments. and now, she has a biological solution in her hands.
she hesitated at the door to the labs. nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.
"i know that i have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and i know i can ," she said to no one.
the image of being ridiculed by these professors, delayed her entry. she stood outside the door, wanting to run backâwanting to hideâglued to the icy spot.
"hey, sophie! " she turned at the unexpected sound of samâs voice.
"iâve beenâŚtrying to catch up with you," he panted, out of breath. "letâs go in andâŚshow themâŚwhat youâve got."
sophie tilted her head, smiled at sam and opened the door. she walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium and began her presentation. when her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientistsâ applause.

1. at the conclusion of chapter 13, the monster realizes that he has none of the qualities or possessions that human beings value, and so he worries the he will be forever miserable. he says, âoh, that i had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known nor felt beyond the sensations of hunger, thirst, and heat! â this statement recalls one made by victor frankenstein in chapter 10: âif our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might nearly be free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us.â questions: what do these two statements suggest about the impact of knowledge? how do the statements affect the way readers view the monster and victor?
