Questions and Topics We Can Help You Answering; 

Prompt:
Use specific evidence from Frankenstein, additional sources studied in the unit, and outside research (real world articles) to write a research paper that answers the following question: What consequences do we face if we do not take responsibility for our actions? Include an original, concise thesis statement to answer this essential question. The essay should reflect your reasoned judgment about the quality and reliability of sources consulted (i.e., why you emphasize some and not others), a balance of paraphrasing and quoting from sources, original thinking, the anticipation and addressing of questions or counterclaims, and the proper citation of sources. 

Task:
You will be spending some time researching elements of our society today that mirror the world of Frankenstein.  Although the book is fiction, the reality of having to face consequences for the lack of responsibility for our actions in the novel can also be found right in your own backyard... 

Your articles should be contemporary—about events/ issues that have occurred within the last decade, better yet, the last couple of years—no articles that recap historical events. 

You will find a minimum of three credible newspaper, magazine, journal articles, or essays that remind you of something similar to Frankenstein.  This should be some aspect of society or practice that affects nature or the natural order of life.  All three articles should be related.
Print or make a copy of each article, being sure to detail all necessary citation information. You will need this for your Works Cited page.
