Read these passages: Preface :

This distinction prevailed until August 2006, when the
International Astronomical Union (IAU), prompted by
pressure from the professional community of planetary
scientists as well as from the general public, brought
Pluto's planethood to a vote at a triennial general assembly

in Prague, Czech Republic. The result? Pluto was formally
downgraded from "planet" to "dwarf planet," thereby
helping to diffuse the negative attention that we had been
receiving for six years running.
- Neil deGrasse Tyson, The Pluto Files

Interview:
Over the years, people started realizing that maybe that
kind of makes sense, and six years later, the International
Astronomical Union, they took a vote, and basically they
said Pluto should be reclassified. So we were, in the end,
kind of vindicated.

4. at the conclusion of frankenstein, robert walton has an encounter with the monster, who arrives after victor frankenstein has died. perhaps surprisingly, the monster mourns his creator and expresses remorse over the fate that victor suffered. the monster pledges to destroy himself and then departs, disappearing as he goes further north. how does the monster’s behavior and attitude in this part of the novel affect the way readers view him? is he sympathetic? is he more hateful because it is only after victor has died that he relents? how does the change in the monster fit with the theme of duality in the novel?
