The play "ECHO" by Joseph T. Shipley is a dialogue between two characters, Harold and Mary, that explores themes of identity, love, and self-discovery. The play also incorporates the perspectives of two additional characters, "Myself" (representing reason) and "I" (representing emotion). The setting is the interior of a brain, and the characters communicate through sharp and often conflicting conversations.

The play begins with Myself and I engaging in a conversation about the pursuit of money versus following one's dreams. Myself emphasizes the importance of practicality and facts, while I argues for the value of misunderstanding and the enjoyment of life. The stage then lights up to reveal Harold and Mary at a restaurant table, discussing the passage of time and reflecting on their past choices. Their conversation is interrupted by Myself and I's ongoing debate.

As the play unfolds, the characters delve into topics such as love, regret, and personal growth. Harold questions Mary's intentions and accuses her of trying to shape him into a different person based on her previous relationship with John. There are moments of tension and jealousy, accompanied by Myself and I's ongoing conflicting opinions.

Towards the end of the play, a new scene is introduced where Mary is in bed and Harold is undressing. Mary calls out the name "John" in her sleep, which startles Harold. They briefly discuss Harold's play idea about a man who discovers he is an echo, but ultimately dismiss it as a foolish thought. The play concludes with Mary settling back to sleep and the curtain falling.

In summary, "ECHO" explores the complexities of relationships, personal identity, and the pursuit of happiness. The characters navigate conflicting emotions and differing perspectives, ultimately highlighting the challenges and choices individuals face in their lives.

In this chapter, the monster continues his narration to Frankenstein. He reflects on his mistakes and regrets interacting with the old man, DeLacy, in the past, realizing that he should have approached him slowly to gain his trust. The DeLacy family eventually moves away, leaving the monster alone again. Filled with anger and seeking revenge, the monster burns down the cottage and decides to track down Frankenstein in Geneva. On his way, he saves a little girl from drowning but gets shot by a man who witnessed the scene. Despite the pain, he continues his journey. Once in Geneva, he encounters a young boy and tries to communicate with him, but his appearance frightens the child, leading to a tragic outcome. The monster takes a pin with a picture of a beautiful woman from the boy's coat and decides to frame an innocent woman from a nearby barn by placing the pin on her, to inflict sadness upon Frankenstein.

After hearing the monster's story, Frankenstein reluctantly agrees to create the female creature.

The description of Darry in paragraphs 21-22 primarily serves to:

b. emphasize how rational and tough-minded he is.

This is noted through several points made in the description including:

- "Darry is six-feet-two, and broad-shouldered and muscular,"
- "He’s got eyes that are like two pieces of pale blue-green ice. They’ve got a determined set to them, like the rest of him."
- "He looks older than twenty—tough, cool, and smart."
- "He doesn’t understand anything that is not plain hard fact. But he uses his head."

While other elements, like missing his parents (option a), Darry being cruel and unkind (option c), or drawing an unfavorable comparison between Darry and his dad (option d), might be subtly implied, they aren't the primary objective of these paragraphs.
The main focus remains on outlining Darry's rational, tough-minded character and the differences between him and his younger brother, Ponyboy.
