"The Frankenstein Poet" by Billy Collins Pursued by the mob of townspeople
and the shaky glow of their torches,
he finds refuge crouching under a mossy bridge.
He takes a notepad from his huge jacket
and feels inspiration arriving
like a forking of electricity.
He fingers one of the wooden pegs
the doctor tapped into his temples,
little handlebars of the imagination now,
and his pencil moves in the darkness
to a jostling of vocabulary.
He is starting to write an elegy
for all the people whose bodies
are now parts of his body.
It opens with the eyes.

Read the passage adapted from aesop’s fables. what is the theme of the story?

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?
