Prompt 1. If you were to do an Internet search of the word Frankenstein, you would get over 13 million results, most of which do not refer to Mary Shelley’s novel. Frankenstein, the monster, has been the star of numerous films, and the term “a Frankenstein” indicates the potential result of any sort of controversial scientific experiment.
Write a five-paragraph essay analyzing the influence Frankenstein has had in popular culture and science. The first paragraph should include an attention-getter and your thesis statement. The three body paragraphs should explore specific examples of “Frankenstein” in popular culture and/or science. Please include only one type of example per paragraph (i.e. movies, cloning, etc.) The final paragraph should be an overall conclusion with a restatement of the thesis.
