Knowledge is information and skills aquired through experience or education, also it's the understanding of a subject. Like in the book of "Frankenstein of the modern prometheus" by Mary Shelley, when the creature making a fire after the night before, "In the morning...my first vist to the fire...gentle breeze quickly fanned it into a flame"(Shelly 92). This was showing that the creature found out how to make fire on a cold morning day. Also with Victor knows how to create another creature just like the one before. Victor can clone as many of these creatures as he wants.

5 Most Cloned Animals
If you didn't know any better, you might think that Star, Snuppy, CC and ANDi were just a few unfortunately named animals. You'd only be half right. These creative monikers actually belong to a pig, a dog, a cat and a monkey that were among the first
clones of their species.
You're likely already familiar with Dolly -- the sheep that achieved near celebrity status as the first mammal to be cloned successfully using adult animal cells. But although Dolly has been one of the few cloned animals to attract widespread fame, she's not alone. The world's first clone -- a tadpole -- was actually created in 1952 [source: Human Genome Project]. And at least a dozen different species have been cloned since: everything from the common cow to the endangered guar, a type of wild ox. You can learn more about the science behind cloning in How Cloning Works.
Animal cloning has come a long way since that first tadpole more than 50 years ago. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) declaration in early 2008 that food products derived from the clones of cows, pigs and goats are safe for human consumption intensified an already growing interest in the process.
Cloning has additional uses besides its ability to help farmers breed consistently top-notch burgers and bacon. Other potential applications include the preservation of species, biomedical research, drug and organ production and even commercial ventures that aim to keep little Fido (or at least a convincing substitute) in the family forever. The possibility of having carbon copies of man's best friend bounding around the house leaves some people giddy and others understandably edgy. It may also leave you wondering just how many of these walking photocopies already exist. Or perhaps more importantly, did the hamburger you just finished eating get its start in a petri dish?
It seems that finding out exactly how many cloned animals have been produced is almost as difficult as producing them in the first place. There's no official registry of clones, and laboratories aren't required to report every single tadpole or mouse they create. The only species that anyone seems to be keeping track of are those whose progeny might make it into your grocer's deli case.
Armed with a bit of knowledge concerning animal cloning and its most prevalent uses, it's possible to narrow down the contestants to a viable field. While no one can say with any certainty that the animals in this article are the five most cloned animals in the world, they're at least worthy of mention

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr.Hyde"
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Mr. Utterson is a London lawyer who is a friend of Dr. Jekyll. Jekyll gave up his regular practice to experiment with non-traditional
medicine. Utterson is concerned because Jekyll has written a will that leaves all his money to his new partner Mr. Hyde. Utterson has heard bad things of Hyde and disliked him at first sight. The lawyer thinks his friend is being blackmailed. One day, the lawyer is asked to identify the body of a murdered man, Sir Danvers Carew, one of Utterson's clients. Hyde is suspected of the murder, but he has disappeared. Jekyll swears that he has not seen Hyde and has broken with him forever. The case remains unsolved and Jekyll becomes more sociable than he had been. Suddenly, though, he locks himself into his laboratory, yelling to the servants through the door, directing them to take chemicals for him. The servants recognizes a change in his voice and think that their master has been murdered; another man has taken his place in the lab.
They call Utterson who breaks down the door. On the floor lies Hyde, who has killed himself with poison. Utterson assumes Hyde returned and killed Jekyll, but the doctor's body is nowhere.He does find, a letter in which Jekyll explains his relationship to Hyde. Pondering this split in his personality, he decides to find a way to separate his two beings. Jekyll creates a potion that releases his evil side, Mr. Hyde. Hyde is shorter and smaller than Jekyll, having not had as much exercise. For a while Jekyll enjoys his two bodies; he can do whatever he likes without being discover. His pleasure is braked when Hyde kills Carew ,and he resolves never to take the potion again. Hyde is now strong, however, and emerges whether Jekyll will have him or not. Indeed, Jekyll must use the potion to be rid of him if only for a moment. Jekyll knows that it is only by killing his body that Hyde's body, too, will die.

The Pool of all Knowledge
By Gordon Hamilton
Murky waters, dark and deep,
Oh, what secrets do you keep,
Ease the
tortures in my mind,
Inner peace, help me to find.
Tell me now, I have to know,
Show me please, which way to go,
Time is
short, my heart beats fast,
Let my future meet your past.
Slowly in, my toe I dip,
Careful, careful, must not slip!
Yes, that's
what I want to know,
Further - deeper - do I go.
All at once, I know my fate,
I no longer have to wait,
Knowledge
buffets me around,
All the answers, I have found.
All life's pathways, mapped out clear,
No more questions, no more
fear,
How I'll live and when I'll die,
I have seen with my own eye.
Am I happy, am I sad,
What about this glimpse I've had?
Most of all,
I've learned this,
Ignorance, it's true, is bliss.
