Slide 2 By: Neal Whetstone, Brittnie Smithley, Josie Blackburn, Regem Biyo, and Daniel Hayes, Thomas Milbrath Slide 3 Writers often highlight the values of a culture or a society by using characters who are alienated from that culture or society because of gender, race, class, or creed. Choose a novel or a play in which such a character plays a significant role and show how the characters alienation reveals the surrounding societys assumptions or moral values. -Some AP Writer Writers often highlight the values of a culture or a society by using characters who are alienated from that culture or society because of gender, race, class, or creed.

Victor was also alienated in the process of making The Creature Guilty! Of being ratchet! Slide 5 I paused. This, I thought, was the moment of decision, which was to rob me of, or bestow happiness on me forever. I struggled vainly for maining strength; I sank on the chair and sobbed aloud. At that moment I heard the steps of m younger protectors. I had not a moment to lose but, seizing the hand of the old man, I cried, Now is the time! save and protect me! You and your family are the friends whom I seek. Do not you desert me in the hour of trial! Great God! exclaimed the old man, who are you? At that instant The cottage Door was opened, and Felix, Safie, and Agatha entered. Who can describe their horror and consternation on beholding me? Agatha fainted; and Safie, unable to attend her friend, rushed out of the cottage. Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore me from his father, to whose knees I clung: in a transport of fury, he dashed me to the ground and struck me violently with a stick.

I passed whole days alone on the lake alone in a little boat (Shelley 108).

Slide 8 The Creature, sore after his rejection by the cottage family, chooses to save a drowning girl. The Creature saves the Drowning Girl Slide 9 It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my being: all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct (Shelley 70).
