Being Human means being able to show or communicate emotion, and having deep love for another being.
Humans are a unique and amazing species. They express and communicate what they feel towards others. Whether through words or actions, people have the capabilities to tell people when we are angry or full of joy or jealous or surprised. People have a wide range of emotions while animals are left with either being happy or mad. Our brains are complex worlds of intelligence and feelings that are far greater than any other creature. Animals do not have relationships with one another, they reproduce for the sole purpose of keeping their species from becoing extinct.
Homo sapians are the only animals that can truely love someone else. When they find that one person in life who "completes" them they are cannot imagine themselves with anyone else. Then they continue to have children and grow old together until the day they die. No other animal has that commitment to start a family and stay with them for life. That passionate love for another is a major difference between humans and other living things.
Counter:
Animals do love and care and express emotions, but in ways humans are not able to see. Not all animals leave their mate, but instead continue to bear offspring with the same partner. Although we cannot understand their language, animals are able to understand how people feel and react according to what they see.

Frankenstein Paragraph- Defend the monster as being more human than Frankenstein
The monster is more human, because it was not the monster's fault he was created. He did not ask for his fate but was forced into misery by his "father".
The monster was created and left alone with no one to teach it. He had no guidance to learn the language or culter, but instead taught himself. Humans learn from experience and teach themselves all the time. Frankenstein, however, did not care who he had to hurt to get the glory. He used his knowledge to create a being that would ruin his life, therefore becoming his own monster. He was totally emmersed in his studies that he ignored his friends and family. Human beings need fellowship and people so they aren't lonely.
When the monster killed William, Justine, Henry, and Elizabeth, he felt the guilt with each murderous act. He also felt remorse after and apologized for his brutal acts. Each time though, Frankenstein refused to admit to his crimes and tell anyone that he was at fault. He never manned up and took the consequences for creating the beast.
Franstein's monster did some pretty cruel things, but still acted more human-like than Frankenstein, even though he was the one with a face of a monster.
