Use excerpt from the book Mysterious Island by Jules Verne to complete the activity.
Everything was white, from the top of Mount Franklin to the coastâforests, prairie, lake, river, beach. The waters of the Mercy ran under a vault of ice, which cracked and broke with a loud noise at every change of tide. Thousands of birdsâducks and wood-peckersâflew over the surface of the lake. The rocks between which the cascade plunged to the borders of the Plateau were blocked up with ice. One would have said that the water leaped out of a huge gargoyle, cut by some fantastic artist of the Renaissance. To calculate the damage done to the forest by this hurricane would be impossible until the snow had entirely disappeared.
Spilett, Pencroff, and Herbert took this opportunity to look after their traps and had hard work finding them under their bed of snow. There was danger of their falling in themselves; a humiliating thing to be caught in oneâs own trap! They were spared this annoyance, however, and found the traps had been untouched; not an animal had been caught, although there were a great many footprints in the neighborhood, among others, very clearly impressed marks of claws.
Herbert at once classified these carnivora among the cat tribe, a circumstance which justified the engineerâs belief in the existence of dangerous beasts on Lincoln Island. Doubtless these beasts dwelt in the dense forests of the Far West; but driven by hunger, they had ventured as far as Prospect Plateau. Perhaps they scented the inhabitants of Granite House.
In a complete, well-reasoned essay, identify the theme of the excerpt and explain how you determined that theme.

1. at the conclusion of chapter 13, the monster realizes that he has none of the qualities or possessions that human beings value, and so he worries the he will be forever miserable. he says, âoh, that i had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known nor felt beyond the sensations of hunger, thirst, and heat! â this statement recalls one made by victor frankenstein in chapter 10: âif our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might nearly be free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us.â questions: what do these two statements suggest about the impact of knowledge? how do the statements affect the way readers view the monster and victor?
