Welcome AP English Students,
This blog will be a place where we can discuss the literature we read in class. For each post be sure you reference the page number you found your answer on, citing specific examples if necessary . Write well thought out answers using complete sentences. Treat this writing as practice for the writing you will do on the AP exam. There is no minimum or maximum limit in the length of your post; so use good judgment when formulating your response. For each chapter, choose two questions to answer and two different questions to respond to. Each question must be answered in the chapter, therefore do not answer questions that have already been answered. If there are no new questions to answer for a chapter and you haven't answered your two questions, then you can answer a question that has already been answered. Responses need to go beyond simple agreeance. Bring thoughtful insight to the conversation. With that said, let's begin.
4. Aside from personal glory, what two benefits to mankind does Walton hope to achieve?
ReplyDelete- Walton hopes to be "part of the world never before visited"(Shelley 1). Walton wanted to be the first to set foot on undiscovered land. Another achievement that Walton wants to complete would be to find a passage to the north pole so that he can find "the secret of the magnet"(Shelley 2). What Walton means by "the secret of the magnet" is that he wishes to uncover the source of our magnetic field.
