The Frankenfolio

You are tasked with creating a portfolio featuring elements from Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. Choose one task from each category to complete for your Frankenstein portfolio. All four of the assignments must on one Word Document and submitted together.

Visual

  • Create a detailed page from Victor’s lab journal. Include doodles, random thoughts, plans, etc.
  • Draw a large, detailed picture of the creature based precisely on the description in the novel. (That means no green monsters with bolts in their necks.)
  • Find a world map and label all the areas where the action takes place in the novel. Draw lines that indicate the directions of movement. Include some explanatory labels on the map.
  • Make a detailed collage that contains pictures and words relating to ideas and events from the novel.

Creative Writing

  • Write a one-page (typed and double-spaced) diary entry from Victor’s point of view immediately following the Creature’s “birth.”
  • Create a one-page (double-spaced) do-it-yourself manual on how to create your own Creature, based specifically on the descriptions of Victor’s work.
  • Write lyrics to a complete song about Frankenstein. This could be an original rap or song, or you can take an existing tune and write new lyrics (Weird Al-style). You can use humor here.

Real World Connection

  • Choose five songs that relate to ideas or themes in the novel. Include the lyrics for each song and explain the reasoning for why you chose each song.
  • Find a newspaper or magazine article about a current bioethical issue. Print it out and on a separate sheet of paper, have each group member explain his or her views about the issue in a few sentences. Identify what connects this issue to Frankenstein.
  • Write a one-page (typed and double-spaced) explanation about how we live in a Frankenstein-like culture when it comes to altering ourselves to be more “superhuman” or “ideal,” and the positive and negative consequences that are associated with it. You can use personal and/or celebrity examples.

List

  • Make a list of ten questions that you would ask one of the characters. These need to be related to the novel.
  • List five merits of Victor and five “sins” or negative attributes that we could associate with him.
  • List ten instances of the gothic atmosphere that appear in the novel.
  • List ten emotions that appear in the novel and briefly explain the events they connect with

Purpose
This essay will ask you to explore the question of whether or not the South needed to secede. You will have the opportunity to read some documents that express the reasons for the South seceding, as well as documents that may indicate that secession was not necessary.

Primary Source: Crittenden Compromise
Primary Source: John Smith Preston on Secession
Primary Source: Abraham Lincoln First Inaugural
Task
In your essay, you need to write at least one and one-half pages supporting the idea that secession could have been avoided and/or was not necessary. You will then need to write at least one and one-half pages supporting the idea that secession was necessary and was unavoidable in the minds of some Southerners. You will also need to look through your textbook and include at least two historical events that support each point of view. To be clear, you will write at least one and one-half pages about secession be avoidable, using the documents and at least two historical events to support this point of view.

Analyze the assumptions associated with the independent-samples t-tests and the implications when assumptions are violated.

/in /by

The accuracy of parametric statistical tests is largely based on the data distribution of the collected data. Parametric tests are based on distribution assumptions, such as normality, linearity, equality of variances, etc. These assumptions and others vary based on the statistical test; therefore, it is critical for quantitative researchers to evaluate the assumptions pertaining to their statistical analyses and identify actions taken if assumptions are grossly violated.

Review the Lumley et al. (2002) article, as well as Lessons 19–21 and 24 in the Green and Salkind (2017) text. Use the Walden Library databases to identify a research example using your doctoral research proposal and consider the role and importance of the assumptions underlying each parametric test.

Post a comparison of one-sample, paired-samples, and independent-samples t-tests within the context of quantitative doctoral business research. In your comparison, do the following:

Describe the research example related to your doctoral research proposal.
Describe a hypothetical example appropriate for each t-test, ensuring that the variables are appropriately identified.
Analyze the assumptions associated with the independent-samples t-tests and the implications when assumptions are violated.
Explain options researchers have when assumptions are violated.

In your own experience, how does practicing mindfulness-awareness meditation affect your personal relationship with “racial distress
