What is the warning the Victor Frankenstein gives to Robert Walton before he tells his story?

Answer:

Immediately after his first metaphorical use of light as a symbol of knowledge, Victor retreats into secrecy and warns Walton of “how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge.” Thus, light is balanced always by fire, the promise of new discovery by the danger of unpredictable—and perhaps tragic—consequences.

Explanation:

Answer:

Once Victor finds out that Walton is willing to sacrifice everything -- even his own life -- in his pursuit of knowledge and discovery, Victor desperately wants to prevent his new friend from making the same mistakes that he did. He says,

"You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been."

Serpents are very often linked to temptation -- an allusion to the serpent in Eden who tempted Eve to eat the apple, the event that led to Adam and Eve's being ejected from paradise -- and so this makes it sound as though Victor believes that knowledge and wisdom can tempt and ruin a person the way the serpent tempted and ruined Eve. He wants to prevent Walton from succumbing to temptation as he has. As Victor relates the story of how he created a monstrous human being, he says,

"Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow."

Again, he cautions Walton about seeking worldly knowledge, knowledge that is, perhaps, withheld from us for good reason. He believes that Walton will be safer and happier if he does not pursue this kind of knowledge but rather agrees to be satisfied with his home and himself as he is. There is, as Victor knows, danger in attempting to do more than a human being is supposed to do. Further, he tells Walton that

"If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind."

Therefore, because Walton has suggested that he is willing to give up every other thing that brings him joy in life in order to satisfy his one dream of discovery, Victor implores him to understand that this means that his dream is not an appropriate one; it is too all-consuming to be healthy for a human mind. If Walton is willing to sacrifice everything else to it, then it is too dangerous to pursue.

Look at the skeleton composition Paragraph 4 supports the thesis in the paragraph
Introduction: Almost all sports, whether indoor or outdoor, require stamina and physical fitness

Paragraph 1 (thesis):Perhaps the most demanding sport requiring the most heart and lung action
is marathon running
Body: Although many sports provide very strenuous exercise, they do not utilize all the major
muscles in the way that marathon running does
Paragraph 2: muscles used in running
Paragraph 3: Although a runner may die from a heart attack, most deaths among runners are
caused by incautious running, lack of proper training, or not receiving a thorough physical
examination
Paragraph 4: Another important factor in marathon running is the variety of terrain that adds
even more challenge to the runner's stamina.
Paragraph 5: Most important of all are the statistics of longevity (long life) of marathon runners
Conclusion
by proving that marathon running is very strenuous
by talking about the terrain a runner encounters

In the sentence three of the first paragraph of the selection of The Loner, find the phrase from the sentence that the author used to help you feel the boy's loneliness or his exhaustion. Type the phrase into the space below.

The Loner:
1) Beyond him the road climbed another hill and upon the crest spruce trees bent in the wind and shadows spread like dark water seeping from the mountainside. The ruffled edges of the clouds had turned gold and for a moment it seemed that the whole world had become golden, the dried slopes about him reflecting the coming sunset. He was used to being out of doors at all hours but he had never seen anything like this and he stood, swaying wearily, caught by its splendor. In the distance, off to his right, a herd of deer driven from the higher ridges by the first signs of winter, moved slowly across the bronze grass. Except for birds, they were the first signs of life he had seen in days of struggling through this country, and suddenly the enormity of the space around him and the loneliness of its silence became more than he could stand and he found himself running toward the animals, leaving the road and scrambling over sun-scorched pastureland in a fury of haste.


Note: The phrase should be 2 words long. Remember that a phrase is not a complete sentence and shouldn’t include any capitalization or punctuation.

Small Note: this phrase is in the first paragraph.
