Question

Read the excerpt from "Isaac and Casey."

"Higher!” said Isaac. Casey jumped higher still. His back feet were at least four feet off the ground. It was miraculous!

Suddenly, a thought struck Isaac like lightning. He said the command one more time. "Higher!”

What is the meaning of the simile in this excerpt?

Just as Casey began to jump off the ground, lightning began to strike.
Just as Isaac began to realize something, lightning began to strike.
Much like lightning strikes, the idea struck Isaac suddenly and abruptly.
Much like lightning hurts when it strikes, Isaac’s realization hurt him.

Answer 1

I would say 3, “Much like lightning strikes, the idea struck Issac suddenly and abruptly.”
I don’t really have a reason for this

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4. at the conclusion of frankenstein, robert walton has an encounter with the monster, who arrives after victor frankenstein has died. perhaps surprisingly, the monster mourns his creator and expresses remorse over the fate that victor suffered. the monster pledges to destroy himself and then departs, disappearing as he goes further north. how does the monster’s behavior and attitude in this part of the novel affect the way readers view him? is he sympathetic? is he more hateful because it is only after victor has died that he relents? how does the change in the monster fit with the theme of duality in the novel?
