4.Important aspects of the story
This story is about a monster who is out of control by the attitude of the people of the city. We don’t judge people by their appearances such as Frankenstein and people who the monster met by reading the book. In addition, Frankenstein who created the monster did not make a monster of the opposite sex, and the monster went out of control. From this we can see that we cannot make monsters unnecessarily.
5:Conclusion
Finally, Victor started to research the creature in order to kill him, but he died in the north pole because of weakness. After the creature looked at the death of Victor, he was determined to finish his life. Eventually, he died in ice by his own hand.
This story describes creating and responsibility. Because of Victor creating the creature, he suffered from discrimination for his appearance, so he had to live in despair and sadness. However, Victor did not take responsibility. Accordingly, it can be seen that creating something relates to responsibility.

I think your report is great. However, you have some trouble. It is difficult to read when you did not obey rules on document such as indent. I think you should indent when you write beginning of some sentences. If you do that, many people can understand your opinion.
There is a problem in this report. It’s not decided whether to write indentation or not. Because of it, this report is not easy to read. I think it will be easier to understand if you unify it.
I find the problem. This is a problem because I don’t understand what “artificial life” is. One way to fix this problem is to write easily. For example, “artificial creature” or “A creature which made from human parts.” If you do that, we can read easily and understand this book.
I did not find out what “Because of it.” meant in 1, Summary. This is a problem because it is unusual for a sentence to end without anything after a conjunction. To make it more clearly understood, I think you have to write more after the conjunction. If you do that, the summary will be easier to understand.
Ｉ found an issue with the conclusion section. It states that Victor died due to “weakness”, but it’s unclear what kind of weakness this refers to. One way to fix this issue is to specifically describe what type of weakness led to his death. this would help readers to follow the content with a better understanding.
I think this report has a trouble. In conclusion, this report is written “After the creature looked at the death of Victor, he was determined to finish his life. Eventually, he died in ice by his own hand. ” but, in summary, this report isn’t written that.This ploblem is that it is hard to understand because what is written about ending is different. One way to fix this problrm is to write the same ending. If you do that, your audiences eill have a chance to understand your report.
I found a problem in this report. In second paragraph, there’s no title. So, l don’t know what to say. If you fix it, readers would be easier to read.
