3. This is the same creature who not long ago was also capable of saving a person from drowning.

5. Victor wants Walton to hear his tale hoping it will prevent the captain from making the same mistakes he did.

6. It causes people to make decisions they thought they would never have to make. (is there any way I can word this better)

Reading Frankenstein huh? Great novel! Anyways...

3. doesn't make grammatical sense...try this. This is the same creature, who not long ago, was capable of saving the life of another.

6.) People are forced to come to terms with situations they never thought they would have to endure (is that better)

hope this helps!

Cyrus's suggestion for #3 is good, except that you need to have the first comma come AFTER "who," not before it.

In #1, you need a comma after "Normally."

In #5, you need a comma after "tale."

In #7, you need both verbs to be "may" -- not "can" and then "may." Also, you need a comma after "actions."
