George Davis – Analytic Writing

Beez

The three most distinctive noses to our ears have to be the scrapping on chalk of a blackboard; a babies cry and the the buzzing of bees! However, despite how annoying these sounds may be, without them being known to man, man itself would not be known. We strive from education, reproduce and live on through our children and stay alive due to bees, yet one link is this chain…is breaking.

Biodiversity is the web of life, it is the term used to describe all the Earth’s natural process, ecosystems, genetic & cultural diversities and the connection between all species. we rely on other ecosystems for food, water, shelter, drugs and even the moderation of floods and droughts too. It is this web upon which we are an intrinsic cardinal part and on which we as a race are dependant yet, we as a race are putting all others at great risk. Consider it to be a threaded carpet, if one of the threads holding the carpet together is pulled through, the whole carpet falls apart, and currently we are pulling on several threads in the non-flying carpet of life. Bees are a good example of the one of the many links us humans are breaking.

Bees are vital to the pollination of 1/3 if all our food we seek growth from each day, there are other pollinators in the world such as birds and bats, and we could pollinate crops ourselves but this would be an expensive and virtually ineffective process as bees are the worlds most crucial pollinator. They also happen to be the only insect that produces food eaten directly by man. Who doesn’t love honey?

There are currently 25 species in the UK, however, there used to be double this number. So why are bees dying and what can we do about it? We first discovered the problem through Colony Collapse Disorder, climate change, pollution, habitat loss, iI’m noticing a pattern, this is harm we are doing!

So what can we do about it? The government needs to look into the impacts this could have in the future and discover further, what we could do on a wider scale to help them. On a local front, you can all start by spreading the world, most are blissfully oblivious to the doings we are doing to the bees and the catastrophic doing they will do to us in return. By planting trees/plants bees love, they will live on, finding habitats and creating life for example, cornflowers, poppies, lavender and other shrubs, all of which will also colour your garden. You could even consider keeping bees, which is an interesting and rewarding hobby for all ages, which throws in the bonus of honey. when you see a wasp, feel free to kill it, but bees do not sting as they will die, so when going to kill a bee, don’t. Leave the bees be.

1. We have an increase of tension in this scene as we see a development of hatred and disgust build up between the creation and Victor. We serve this through this example: ‘Cursed creator’. On reading this journal, the corporation’s slings as we see grow, these feelings of hate that were building in previous paragraphs are now strengthened and confirmed as th  monster illustrates at the beginning of the extract.

2. He plans to sit an interview and do it all in a formal manner whereby he allows the family, he wants to be accepted into, device his fate as he is unsure of it. He is insecure and he is anxious as to want the family will do to him, but he does prepare for this knoeing they could turn the door on him.

3. As time goes on, the levels of hate and disgust begin to build Bahia st teacher and the slowly begin to isolate themselves from either despite him being his ‘dad’ or creator.

4. He has been given the chance for the reader to actually take into account the creations side of the story, and we begin to see that he did not set out to be monstrous but that nature has developed him to be this way. He hasn’t had the nurture from his creator, he has been left to fend for himself, disabling him to not be what he is. Shelley use language features to show this and for example rhetorical questions that make us think in the shoes of him? (It should quite easily be a her…I’ll go with ‘it’).

5. She might do this to express the clique of: ‘there always being two sides to every story’. However I see it more as proposing a fair trail, the reader acting as the jury, to make their final decision on whether the creature is actually a monster. Unlike before, when Justine was unfairly accused, the reader is given the decision on the monstrousness of the creature. We are reminded of the past events so we do not rush to conclude a judgement on the monster. This, I think is why Shelley does not give us the chance to make  our minds up quickly, I think that we will only be bale to draw final conclusions on this at the end of the book.
