The most important fact about Hal is that he is not a genius. In fact, he shows this a little when he claims that if he had one tenth of the accomplishments Robert had, he could work in any math department in the country.

Critics like him who had visited the island could not deny the fun environment, but felt that when people arrived a Coney Island, they lost their mind and moral values. Not only were they concerned about human character; they were also concerned about the economy as a whole. Coney Island was changing America “from a ‘pain economy,’ where scarcity of resources demanded a struggle for subsistence, to a ‘pleasure economy,’ in which abundance was potentially available to all” (Kasson 90). People would avoid sin to be sure not to be punished by unemployment and bad economic standings, but without this fear, it was unknown what citizens of the United States would start acting like.

He is the prime example of a character that is easy to sympathize with or feel sorry for; however, the monster deserves a lot more sympathy than Victor does. Victor in a sense is the counterpart to the monster; he is surrounded by people who love him and cherish his company and thoughts.

You are all intelligent people, and you can all plainly see Caesar’s death was unjustified. In mine eyes, Brutus is a shell of his once honorable self.
Knowledge is the fact or state of knowing the perception of fact or truth. Just because someone knows how to do things doesn’t always mean they do it. For example Victor Frankenstein knew he could create life so he did but long run it became dangerous to those he loved and everyone around him. Now to be realistic Osama Bin Laden was a very well educated man but he turned his intelligence into evil and became the worlds most wanted man. Victor Frankenstein attended the University of Ingolstadt to study in the sciences.
However, he was a very good conqueror. He wasn’t even forced to go into this war. He decides to start wars because he thinks he has a lot of power. He could’ve been doing something good for other people but only came up with ideas to show himself. I think Napoleon is a bad leader because I don’t like leaders that focus
