For part of Chapter 19 in Frankenstein, Victor structures his telling of the story by describing the places he and Henry Clerval visit on their way to Scotland. There is much description of their journeys through Windsor, Oxford, Matlock, Cumberland and Westmorland, and Edinburgh; however, Victor just briefly mentions passing through Coupar, St. Andrew’s, and Perth, where they are to meet their friend. Explain why Victor chooses to describe Oxford and Cumberland/Westmorland in much more detail than Matlock and Edinburgh, and only mentions Coupar, St. Andrew’s, and Perth. How do these descriptions affect the pacing of the story? How does this structure contribute to the overall visual impact of these descriptions? Provide examples and evidence from the text to support your responses.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
