Being human means that you have the comprehension to mold and live a unique life, and in that life feel with emotion, feelings, and thoughts, those feelings and thoughts caused by the human soul.
First off, to be human requires to have human emotions and comprehensive thought. These kinds of feelings and thought is what's required to live the human life, therefore being a human requirement.
Second, an attribute that makes us human is that we can comprehend and interact with those around us, shaping different day by day life. Being human requires social interaction with the world beyond the limits of instinct.
Thirdly, human beings are the only creature with a soul on this earth, and this soul enables every other aspect of human life because without it I believe we would have no emotion, comprehensive thought, or sociability.
Counter claim- People argue that humans either don't have a soul or are not the only ones with a soul. Well my evidence comes from the Holy Bible, and my morals say so as well. Also what characterizes us according to others is that we are the only creature with a thumb, but I do not think that's significant enough to characterize an entire race.

Anthropomorphism - The Crow
The Bliss In Ignorance-
The innocent crow
Labled a grim messenger
Speaks fates final word
Foreshadowed ends
Shakes hands with the aging
Judges all the rest
Although unaware
Lives a blissful existance
Carrying no guilt
Just superstition
Have they spoken with the crow?
Asks for its motives?
Given proper say
Will show truthful ingorance
Attempt to explain
Under their consent
Through ignorance yet again
Victimized the crow
Under wrongful blame
The crow cries in the night's sky
but flies longer still

The responsibility of the cost of life
The responsibility of the cost of life is determined by the one who has either ended it, created it, or directly affected it, this includes man's responsibility to help one another if such a need arises, because that person affects you by just being there.
In the titanic, I believe that it was mostly the captains responsibility for the ship and the people on it, since all the lives on that ship were in his hands. He chose to ignore the iceberg warnings putting all the lives on the ship in danger. Also I believe that part of the responsibility goes to the passengers who could have helped one another.
In the Call of the wild. The responsibility for the sleds safety was divided among each dog and driver; the dogs because each was equally responsible for helping each other with pulling, and the driver for being the one in charge of leading the whole sled.
In a persons everyday life, who do you think is responsible for whom? Who's life is in who's hands? This is a thought that could mean the difference between someone's life and death someday given the situation.

Frankenstein- Creator and Created
I believe it is evident that by the end of the novel Frankenstein by Dean Koontz. The monster is the human and Frankenstein is the monster, figuratively speaking of course, because that by their actions and the feelings that they deal with, the true character of each "character" is shown.
Frankenstein purposefully created the creature to feed his own curiosity and satisfaction, then abandoned it and expressed no responsibility to what he had done, and through this expresses how truly monstrous he really is. This is especially shown when he even refuses to help him live a better life without misery and without being alone. No, he leaves him to fend and survive on his own in a world that despises him, and in turn, shows the monster that Frankenstein truly is.
The monster shows that deep down he is no different than any other person despite his outer appearance. He shows that he has a heart, feelings, emotions, and in my opinion a soul. And that soul in the end being not nearly as dark as that of Frankenstein's, due to the fact he is only reacting to how he was treated and it is not his fault that he is going through such misery, it is Frankenstein's responsibility that he refuses to accept.
