Capt. Walton’s Perspective of Victor Frankenstein “He is so gentle, yet so wise; his mind is so cultivated, and when he speaks, although his words are culled with the choicest art, yet they flow with rapidity and unparalleled eloquence.” 1.What words does Capt. Walton use to describe Victor Frankenstein? 2. Capt. Walton uses contrasts to frame his perspective of Victor Frankenstein. Explain how he does this with the use of the words “yet” and “although” as connectors in the sentence. 3.What is Capt. Walton’s attitude (tone) toward Victor? The creature’s perspective of himself as explained to the Mr. DeLacey: (Creature) “I am an unfortunate and deserted creature, I look around and I have no relation or friend upon earth. These amiable people to whom I go have never seen me and know little of me. I am full of fears, for if I fail there, I am an outcast in the world for ever.’ (Delacey)”Do not despair. To be friendless is indeed to be unfortunate, but the hearts of men, when unprejudiced by any obvious self-interest, are full of brotherly love and charity. Rely, therefore, on your hopes; and if these friends are good and amiable, do not despair.’ (Creature) “They are kind-they are the most excellent creatures in the world; but, unfortunately, they are prejudiced against me. I have good dispositions; my life has been hitherto harmless and in some degree beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds their eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster.’ (Delacey) “That is indeed unfortunate; but if you are really blameless, cannot you undeceive them?’ (Creature)””I am about to undertake that task; and it is on that account that I feel so many overwhelming terrors. I tenderly love these friends; I have, unknown to them, been for many months in the habits of daily kindness towards them; but they believe that I wish to injure them, and it is that prejudice which I wish to overcome.’ (Delacey)”Where do these friends reside?’ (Creature) “Near this spot.’ (DeLacy) “The old man paused and then continued, ‘If you will unreservedly confide to me the particulars of your tale, I perhaps may be of use in undeceiving them. I am blind and cannot judge of your countenance, but there is something in your words which persuades me that you are sincere. I am poor and an exile, but it will afford me true pleasure to be in any way serviceable to a human creature.’ 4.Delacey says, “But there is something in your words which persuades me that you are sincere.” Considering that Mr. DeLacey was blind, what words and details in this passage do you think would elicit a sympathetic response from him toward the creature? 5. How does the author use details to create irony and suspense in the passage?

Outlining Practice “Before” 1. Eye contact is an important skill for public speakers. 2. Speakers should establish eye contact with the entire audience. 3. Speakers can judge an audience’s interest by its nonverbal behavior. 4. People distrust others who have “shifty eyes.” 5. Speakers should talk from notes rather than from manuscripts. 6. Three components of eye contact are essential to effective delivery. 7. Speakers should avoid “false” eye contact. 8. Speakers should look directly at the audience. 9. Looking over people’s heads is not an effective way to establish rapport with an audience. 10. Staring at one person or one segment of the audience makes the rest of the audience feel excluded. 11. Speakers can ascertain their listeners’ comprehension through their facial expressions. 12. Glancing at the audience does not allow a speaker sufficient time to establish eye contact. 13. There are three ways in which speakers can improve their eye contact with an audience. 14. Speakers should be familiar with their material so that they don’t have to look continually at their notes. 15. Speakers should look at an audience frequently. 16. Eye contact allows the speaker to perceive audience feedback. 17. Juries may decide a person is guilty because he or she won’t look at them. 18. People judge a speaker’s honesty and trustworthiness partially through the speaker’s use of eye contact.

* “When Positivity Turns Toxic” by Nuha Khan, published in The Walrus Magazine A selected group of faculty from DEC have invited all Communicating Across Contexts students to choose one of the shortlisted sources, and argue their opinion on why the source is worth being consumed by the GBC community. The faculty has asked students not to compare their source against the other sources. The faculty wants to know: 1. What was the main message of the text you have chosen? 2. Why is the main message significant and relevant? 3. Why would you recommend this source to someone else? To answer this question, select and discuss one of the following communication strategies used in the text: ¢ The incorporation of their unique perspective, social location, or lived experience ¢ The development of a sound argument * The logical structure of ideas * The use of a compelling story ¢ The incorporation of descriptive details ¢ The inclusion of logical comparisons/ connections + The use of inclusive and appropriate language * The use of specific examples * The development of an appropriate tone through word choice Instructions: Write a 750 to 1000-word thesis-driven academic essay (APA Style 7th ed.). Your essay should focus on answering the following question: Why should the GBC community read the shortlisted source you have chosen? ¢ In your introduction paragraph, include an attention grabber that helps introduce the topic generally; provide background information that the reader would need to know; introduce your source in full and the author’s main claim; and present your critique-style thesis statement. * In your first body paragraph, provide a brief summary of the main idea. * |n your second and third body paragraphs, answer question 3: what communication strategy has the author used and why was it effective? ¢ |n your conclusion paragraph, reiterate your opinion on why the source is worth being consumed by the GBC community. * Apply what we learned in class about the conventions of an academic essay.

Introduction One study showed that neural processing between the left and right hemispheres occurred primarily along the corpus callosum (Di Lorenzo, Yonner, & Marks 1978). In this study, the brain activity of fifty-seven participants, including 29 males and 28 women, was recorded over a period of three months. This sample of participants included bipolars and normal controls. The procedure for the study included training, testing and verification stages. Importantly, the verification stage involved the use of a novel and revolutionary brain imaging method which hasn’t previously been used with this population. Methods We used the statistical technique developed by Tanner & Watney (2019, p. 19) to analyze the functional magnetic resonance imaging data.
