Read through chapter 12 and focus on page 2 of fear article (link below).
Prompt: In 4-6 pages (plus Works Cited), use a theory of fear to explore a social or contemporary issue that involves fear and loosely connect it to Frankenstein; how large or small this connection to the novel is really is up to you. If the novel is central, there is much to explore, and if the novel is merely a minor point connected to your overall argument, that’s perfectly fine. While you are welcome to include the work of other writers, Ferudi’s ideas should be referenced; again, this doesn’t have to be central to the paper, but it should be connected to your overall argument.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
