According to supply and demand is the minimum wage good or harmful as a law?

According to
economists, minimum wages are very bad, especially for lower-paid workers that are supposed to
benefit from them.  Here's the reasoning.

In plain English terms, the idea is
that if I tell you you have to pay your worker $8 per hour, you'll hire fewer people than if you
were allowed to pay $5 per hour.  Imagine if you could afford to pay $10 per hour for your
workers.  If minimum wage is $8, you pay one worker where you could have hired two at $5 without
the minimum wage.  So that other worker you could have hired is hurt by the minimum
wage.

In economic terms, a minimum wage creates a surplus of workers because
it makes businesses demand fewer workers (lowers quantity demanded) and it makes more workers
want to work (increases quantity supplied).

What was the goal of the Ku Klux Klan? How did this group get together? And are there still some klans out there?

The Ku Klux
Klan (KKK) are a white supremacist group that emerged in the American South in the years after
the Civil War (c. 1865). Initially, the KKK was formed by a small number of former confederate
soldiers who believed that white people were superior to African-Americans and were opposed to
equal rights for racial minorities.

Although the KKK are generally spoken of
as a single group, they're really a number of small groups that are loosely connected. Moreover,
the size and influence of the KKK has fluctuated over the last century. They were likely at
their largest and most influential from the 1930s through the 1960s, when the black civil rights
movement was gaining power.

Because they're aren't a single entity, it would
be inaccurate to say that they all believe any particular thing. In some
cases, members are racial separatists who believe that black people and white people should not
mix in any way, whereas other ideologies extend their beliefs to include other minority groups
like Jews and Muslims. Many people consider the KKK a domestic terrorist group because they
have, over the years, engaged in extreme tactics to spread their message and enforce their
beliefs. This has included everything from the production and dissemination of racist literature
to more troubling things like torture, bombings, and murder.

Over the last
century, the KKK has had varying levels of influence in things like political elections,
particularly one-time Klan leader David Duke, who ran for president in 1988 and '92. Although
they are far less powerful or prominent than they have been in the past, the KKK is still active
in many parts of the United States, particularly in the South. 

What is the meaning of the poem "Poet" written by Ralph Emerson ?

"The
Poet" by Emerson is a difficult essay to follow, without a doubt.  It needs time and
patience, best broken down paragraph by paragraph, to understand it.

Emerson
explains how the poet fits into the world, what he offers to the world and what he can expect in
return.

Though people are drawn by the appearance of something, they often do
not appreciate it and truly see it beyond one dimension.  When something in this world is
perceived, it should not be done in one dimension, or two or even eight.  The truth lies hidden
deeply within us.  The poet tries to share what he sees, but in doing so is often isolated from
the company of other men.  He is only half of himself; the remainder is his poetic
expression.

Emerson is unsure why poets need their work interpreted, but some
men do not understand the poet's work, which is to look at the beauty and complexities of nature
and describe them to men.  The poet does not exaggerate or create nature's beauty for it has
been there since creation, and poetry was written before time began.  And as men try to describe
the world, something is unavoidably lost with man's "touch."

The
poet, simply put, sees the world as most men are unable to.  Poetry is thoughts that are alive
and passionate.  The poet shares his experience and the lives of all are better for it.  The
poet tells the truth of the world and men await the poet's arrival for direction.

keeps the poet honest which can bring us hope, writes Emerson.  The universe is a
reflection of the soul.  All men are poets in their way, regardless of each man's place in life
or his social standing.  As man is separated from God by the ugliness of life, it is the poet
that reattaches man to nature and God.  The poet perceives all things of the world; he creates
his own language to express what he perceives.  The poet is a speaker that describes nature, but
Emerson, transcendentalist that he is, bows to the strength, knowledge and beauty of nature.
 Nature is in all things, including all men.

Emerson goes on to explain that
poets love all aspects of nature.  Too often they partake of wine, narcotics or tobacco.  These
may help them escape the confines of the body, but only a few may escape the deterioration
brought on by their use.  In any event, nature cannot be tricked.  Nature is  accessible to
those who are clearly attuned with it: not by taking wine in a golden chalice, but (as Milton
says) by taking water in a wooden bowl.

The poet is the "translator of
nature into thought." Emerson, however, is still searching for the consummate poet.  It is
important to note that in saying this, he reveals that he does not see himself as that poet who
can perfectly convey the beauty and power of nature to man.  He offers advice to poets to avoid
self-doubt and keep trying.  Their potential for great works is limitless.  Though a poet may be
sometimes perceived as a fool by others, one day all of nature will open itself to him: the
"ideal" will be real to him, falling over
him like summer rain, and nature's beauty will surround him.

What is the theme/purpose of a fable?

The ultimate
purpose of ais to teach the reader a lesson or moral.  Fables often useto get across or point
out flaws in man or human experiences.  Many fables rely on animals to tell their stories, and
those animals usually symbolize a human characteristic or trait the author wants to criticize
for the purposes of teaching a moral.  Famous fables include Aesops Fables and the Uncle
Remus/Brer Rabbit series of stories by Joel Chandler Harris.  For example, in one of the famous
Brer Rabbit stories, Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby, Brer Rabbit comes across a doll made by
Brer Fox on the road one day.  When Brer Rabbit talks to it, it doesnt answer.  Brer Rabbit
beats up the doll for its lack of manners and gets stuck to the tar the doll is coated in.  Its
a trap Brer Fox has set to catch Brer Rabbit.  Brer Rabbit pleads to Brer Fox to kill him by
throwing him in the briar patch, and Brer Fox agrees.  Little does Brer Fox know that the briar
patch is the place Brer Rabbit was born and lives.  Brer Rabbit survives being killed by Brer
Fox by trickery because Brer Fox cant chase him through the briar patch full of
thorns.

In Chandlers trickster stories about Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit,
Brer Rabbit represents a weak slave from the South who is able to out trick his master by
playing on the masters ignorance.  It is a story with origins in Africa, and they chronicle
lessons on how to survive in life.  It is also a story about how even the weakest can out
maneuver and manipulate those stronger through trickery. 

Almost all fables
are written to provide a moral lesson to the reader.  Usually written for children, they teach
about life through the use of animals who symbolically represent human traits and
flaws. 

What is the difference between wired and wireless classrooms?

gojsawyer Classroom technology
differs from district to district in school systems. Factors such as cost and adapting to change
drive the level at which technology is adopted in schools. Technology is not uniformly
adoptednationwide, and, in fact, technology adoption may be uneven within the same school
district. As a result of lack of uniformity, the description of either wired classroom or
wireless classroom may apply to the same scenarios or differing scenarios, depending on the
context of the school district. Both terms refer to using computers and other technology in the
classroom and may be used interchangeably. Increasingly, the other technology may include
smart boards and mobile devices. Because the range may be so broad and may differ from district
to district,to discuss the difference between wired and wireless classrooms, it may be helpful
to focus the discussion on computers, networks, and Internet usage and how those may be
configured in school districts. Computers in the classroom may be desktops or laptops.The
computers students, teachers, and administrators use may be Macs or PCs, and school districts
are often uniform about the choice. The network in a school district is usually the main
server-client network used by the school district. The Internet service in the district may be
wireless ordial up. Further, desktop or laptop computers may be connected to the Internet
wirelessly or through dial-up service. The differences between wired and wireless classrooms
hinge upon how the technology is used or configured for classroom use by the district. The
distinction will vary from district to district. For example, a wired classroom in one
district may mean that the district uses laptops but still uses dial up service for Internet
access. This type of district may be described as wired but not wireless. At the other end of
the spectrum, a district may use laptops and wireless Internet, as well as other current
technology.Classrooms in such a district may be described as wirelesss. href="https://www.post-gazette.com/businessnews/2012/02/15/Plenty-of-Internet-users-cling-to-slow-dial-up-connections/stories/201202150852">https://www.post-gazette.com/businessnews/2012/02/15/Plen...

How was conformity seen throughout The Crucible and how did it affect the Salem Puritan society?

The
overriding emphasis on conformity is depicted in this play as a problem that corrodes the larger
Salem society by causing people to lie to save themselves.

Conformity becomes
a moral dilemma for John Proctor. He knows Abigail and Mary Warren have lied in accusing his
wife, Elizabeth, of being a witch. However, he is afraid to come forward for fear his affair
with Abigail will be exposed. This adultery would show that he does not conform to the Puritan
moral code. His desire to look like a good Puritan conflicts with the reality that he knows his
wife has been falsely accused.

The small ways John Proctor does not conform
to social norms are used to discredit his family as well as him. The fact, for instance, that
his family does not attend church on a regular basis helps plant the suspicion in people's mind
that his daughter, Better, really was bewitched and that the charges against his wife are
true--and that he, too, is a witch, a crime for which he is executed, although the...

How does Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" function as a moral allegory?

The story
of "," byis a clear moral .

It is felt that the story was written
in reaction to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. One of Hawthorne's ancestors was a judge at the
trialswhere a pious community became slaves to false allegations and superstition. It was an
embarrassing heritage for Hawthorne.

Many of his writings deal with themes
that delve into "...evil actions of humans and the idea of original sin." Evil actions
by humans is central to the allegory. It's important to understand that an allegory in
literature is a story of symbolic importance:

...that
serves as a disguised representation for meanings other than those indicated on the
surface.

In other words, on the surface, the story being
read has a plot, characters, conflict and a resolution. It is a story in its own right. However,
in an allegory, elements of the tale have a deeper meaning, symbolizing "moral
qualities," etc., with the purpose to relay an additional "hidden" message to the
reader.

In "Young Goodman Brown," our main character is a member of
a devoutly religious society. (Though not named as Puritans, the parallel is clear.) One day the
virtuous Brown leaves his newly-wed wife to travel for some unknown reason into the forest. (The
Puritans believed the Devil lived in the forest.)

On his trip, Brown meets an
old man who is the Devil in disguise, who secretly wants to get Brown to reject his faith. As
they walk, Brown senses evil and tries to distance himself. He remembers his ancestorsholy
menwhose memory he calls on to help him. The Devil tells him that they were
"in league" with him. Strong religious members of his community pass by, going to a
Black Mass. Brown is horrified as his eyes are opened to the wickedness lurking within those
closest to himwho he has looked to for inspiration. At last, as he looks
on, his wife Faith is brought forth and both are called to join the Devil. Brown tries to yell
encouragement to his wife, but in an instant, everyone disappearsand Brown is unsure if it was
at all real or just a dream. Now believing that he is surrounded by sinners, his awakening
drives Brown to believe there is no good in the word. He rejects his faith
and dies a lonely, embittered old man.

The situation that Hawthorne presents
here is Brown's inability to accept the fragile nature of the human condition, and the truth
that all people are sinful, even Brown himself.
However, his expectations of those of the past and those in his life now,
do not allow Brown to accept sinfulness as a human trait (even though it is biblically
presented: all men are sinners); and, too, he has no compassion. Expecting
perfection is impossible; this is something Brown does not grasp, and it does not allow him to
forgive others for their shortcomings.

Hawthorne reminds
us of the lack of compassion found in the Puritan societythat the promise of the smallest sins
was punishment, and no forgiveness was offered, though this was the central message of the New
Testament in the person of Christ. The allegorical message here is that all of us are in the
same "boat." We all make mistakes: we cannot help it.

Looking to
Goodman Brown's fate, we should see that if we can't allow others to be
imperfect, we will be lonely, hypocritical and miserable people. We must be realistic and
accepting of others who follow a different pathfor even then, we can still
hold on to what we believe.

How is the Owl Creek Bridge significant to the narrative?

The
bridge is important to the story for many reasons, including the following:

• The bridge is the target, the objective, the bone of contention. It provides
  the motivation for the , Peyton Farquhar. Momentarily it seems to be the focal point of the
  entire Civil War.
• Farquhar is being hanged from it because it is the most
  simple and convenient place for a hanging. A hanging requires a certain elevation, which the
  bridge easily provides.
• The bridge is also the most conspicuous place for
  the ceremony. Every soldier can see it from wherever he is stationed.


• Farquhar is being hanged because he tried to burn it down. It is ironic that he is
  being hanged from the bridge he tried to burn down and that he is being hanged for trying to
  burn it down.

The bridge exists because of the creek. The creek
enables the prisoner to seem to escape in the following ways:

• The
  water seemingly revives him when he falls into it, and he is able to evade the rifle bullets by
  swimming under the water.
• The creek is flowing very rapidly, which
  seemingly enables him to get swiftly carried out of gunshot range.
• There is
  a lot of water in the creek at this time of year. This is helpful to the escaping prisoner. It
  also explains why there would be a lot of driftwood piled against one side, tempting him to set
  it afire in the first place.
• Farquhar does not really escape, but the sight
  of the rushing water helps to create the hallucination that he falls into the creek and is
  quickly carried downstream to safety.

Although Farquhar seems to
make it all the way back to his plantation and into the waiting arms of his wife, the story ends
back at the bridge:

Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a
broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek
bridge.

What is the theme of the poem "Request to a Year"? This is the assignment: In paragraph form and in approximately 125 to 150 words, discuss the...

In
order to understand this question, we first need to understand what a theme is. In literary
terms, a theme is a key topic or idea a work is discussing. Sometimes, the themes in a piece are
obvious, in which case, everyone will probably identify similar ones. Sometimes, they are harder
to detect. You can make an argument for a theme others have not spotted in a work, and, as long
as you give evidence for it, there is no reason your theme will be any less valid than
others.

In this poem, the themes are not necessarily obvious, but we can
make some suggestions. First, the poet is making a request for something: the
"attitude" of her great-great-grandmother, and the "firmness of her hand."
So, what is this attitude? The grandmother, in the anecdote related in the poem, has set aside
her own feelings about what should be a deeply distressing scene in favor of her dedication to
her artwork, because she knows that there is ultimately nothing she can do to save her child.

There are a
number of factors that could impact a business's acceptance of Service Oriented Architecturea
type of software that communicates over a network or through various connected but separate
applications to gather the data and make the decisions it needs.

On the
positive side, a business may have a very integrated work place alreadywith a number of
different applications and programs gathering data on their job functions. If this is the case,
they may be more ready to adopt SOA because the infrastructure is in place to gather the data
necessary and make the desired changes.

On the other hand, a business that
deals with very sensitive content or materialsuch as proprietary technology or intellectual
property, may be unwilling to adopt SOA because of the level of open communication between the
program and external sources. This leaves more room to compromise the information and could harm
the company.

Finally, a business that is simply disorganized may find a major
benefit in adopting this technology because it can help centralized their information. However,
it also may be a deterrent since it requires so much connection that it may be difficult to
track down every piece of data due to the lack of organization.

How did the Western democracies respond to the aggression of the Axis powers during the 1930s?

The most
powerful Western European democracies, Great Britain and France, responded to Axis aggression
with a policy of appeasement. This meant they did not interfere militarily with Nazi land grabs,
hoping that if they gave Hitler what he wanted, they could avoid another devastating world war.
It should also be noted that Great Britain and France were made anxious by the Russian
Revolution and the potential spread of communism across the European continent. They wanted a
strong Germany as a bulwark against the Soviet Union. In other words, during the mid-1930s, they
feared communism more than fascism. Some in France and Great Britain, such as Neville
Chamberlain, also still believed Hitler, if given what he wanted, would "settle down"
and behave like a normal head of state.

Other Western democracies, such as
Sweden and Switzerland, opted for neutrality, vowing to stay out of any war. The United States
had retreated into isolationism, despite being the rising world power. The US wanted Europe to
handle its own problems, a policy that became increasingly impossible as time went on.

The Western democracies discovered too late that they had made a mistake in not
stopping Hitler when it would have been easy to do so. He was bent on world domination and was
not going to embrace peaceful coexistence with other states. They ended up fighting a world war
they had hoped to avoid.

In "Pygmalion", what opinion does Higgins have of himself and how does he set himself apart from middle-class men and women? Is that why he set ...

Higgins is
quite sure of himself and confident in his own intelligence.  Lets be honest - he's arrogant. 
He lives the way that he wants to with little concern to what society wants.  Here is how Shaw
describes him:

careless about himself and other people, including their
feelings. His manner varies from genial bullying... to stormy petulance... but he is so entirely
frank and void of malice that he remains likeable even in his least reasonable moments."

He is careless in his decision to ignore propriety.  He doesn't adhere to
Victorian principles requiring a certain amound of tact and reserve.  He says what he wants when
he wants to.  In the last act, he is admonished by his mother, who insists that he
"behave" accordingly if he wants to speak to Eliza:

MRS.
HIGGINS: If you promise to behave yourself, Henry, I'll ask her to come down. If
not, go home; for you have taken up quite enough of my time.

HIGGINS: Oh, all right. Very well. Pick: you behave
yourself. Let us put on our best Sunday manners for this creature that we picked out of the mud.
[He flings himself sulkily into the Elizabethan chair].

By not
"behaving" according to society, Higgins sets himself apart.  He arrogantly believes
that he does not need to be anything but himself and everyone else should just accept him. 
Eliza does reject him for this.  All she ever wished for was an average, socially acceptable
life.

How are Robert Walton and Victor Frankenstein similar in the novel Frankenstein?

Robert
andare both men from a similar social class who come from supportive families. Each has a
sensitive nature and the desire to do good for the human race. They also feel an affinity for
each other, especially as each is lonely and isolated when they meet in the Arctic.

Their biggest similarity is their ambition. Both want to make important scientific
discoveries that will have an impact on the world. Both have pursued their goal relentlessly and
isolated themselves in the process. Both are willing to take risks in the pursuit of
knowledge.

Victor's overwhelming desire to create life from inanimate body
parts causes himself to drive himself into a nervous state that isolates him and ruins his
health. Yet despite his inordinate ambition, he creates a life that seems to him to be
monstrous. He has tried to play God and has, instead, caused disaster.

Robert learns from from Victor's mistake. Rather allow his ambition...

What are the allegorical elements in Young Goodman Brown?

In allegories,
characters are representative of certain traits.  For instance, Goody Cloyse, the Catechist, and
Deacon Gookin--names of real people who participated in the Salem Witchcraft Trials--go into the
forest and participate in the Black Mass.  Thus, they represent the sanctimonious hypocrites
among the Puritans.  's name is, of course, ironic.  He certainly perceives himself as good, but
his rejection of his wife and others after he has formed his judgment demonstrates his lack of
goodness.  For he is the quintessential Puritan that Hawthorne abhors:  he concludes that all
human beings are hopelessly corrupt, totally damned, and must, therefore, be rejected. Brown's
wife Faith and her pink ribbons represent the naivete of Brown's own faith in the beginning of

Macbeth as "trusted home," a term of endearment, Banquo urges Macbeth not to place too
much stock in the prophecies:

strange; 
And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,

Macbeth clearly values his counsel,
because he asks that they might speak again about what they have witnessed after they have both
had time to think about it. 

By Act III, Scene 1, the murder ofand Macbeth's
accession to the throne have soured his relationship with Banquo. The scene begins with ain
which Banquo shows his fears that Macbeth is responsible for the murder of Duncan:

Thou hast it now: King, Cawdor, Glamis, all, 
As the weird
women promised, and I fear 
Thou play'dst most foully for't...

Banquo is somewhat encouraged, however, by the fact that Macbeth's
prophecy has come true, since the witches also predicted that his sons would be kings. Banquo
tells Macbeth that he is going riding with , and Macbeth asks a number of questions that could
cause the audience to (correctly) predict that Macbeth plans further foul play on Banquo's
riding excursion. Banquo has become an obstacle to Macbeth's ambition, and must be
eliminated.

Please present the literary device used in part 3 of A Christmas Carol.

In the
following passage, Dickens uses both and
to express a joyous mood for Christmas present. Simile is a
comparison using the words like or as, while personification is giving human traits to inanimate
objects or animals:

There were great, round, pot-bellied
baskets of chestnuts, shaped like the waistcoats of jolly old gentlemen, lolling at the doors,
and tumbling out into the street in their apoplectic opulence. There were ruddy, brown-faced,
broad-girthed Spanish Onions, shining in the fatness of their growth like Spanish Friars, and
winking from their shelves in wanton slyness at the girls as they went by ...

The baskets of chestnuts are, in a simile, said to be like the
waistcoasts (vests) of jolly old gentleman who are heavy around the middle. The onions are
personified as Spanish friars (clergyman) and are pictured winking slyly at the passing girls,
as if flirting with them as a human would. The passage also uses , which is description
employing any of the fives senses of sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. We can see the great
bounty of chestnuts and onions in the shop, all of which give off a dominant impression of jolly
good cheer.

In the passage below, we meet up with imagery again. As in the
quote above, we can picture the great bounty of food that Dickens uses to characterize Christmas
Day:

Heaped up on the floor, to form a kind of throne,
were turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking-pigs, long wreaths of
sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, barrels of oysters, red-hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked
apples, juicy oranges, luscious pears, immense twelfth-cakes, and seething bowls of punch, that
made the chamber dim with their delicious steam.

The
specific details of what is thereturkeys, mince pies, etc.rather than a vague description of
"a lot of wonderful food" makes the scene come alive for us.

The
narrator uses , which is putting opposites together (in this case a
baby and a rhino), to describe how broadly immune Scrooge feels from shock:

nothing between a baby and rhinoceros would have astonished him very
much

What was soft Reconstruction?

Although
the term "soft"isn't usually used, historians do make a difference between the process
used by both President Lincoln (and later President Johnson) and that used by
Congress.

Simply put, both Presidents Lincoln and Johnson favored more
lenient Reconstruction policies than did Congress. At the time, the Radical Republicans in
Congress favored what many saw as a harsher approach.

How to find the function if the derivative is given? Given f'(x)=36x^5+3x^2 determine f(x).

The problem
provides the derivative of the function, hence, you need to evaluate the function using
anti-derivatives, such that:

`int f'(x) = f(x) => int (36x^5+3x^2)dx =
f(x)`

You need to use the linearity of integral, hence, you need to split the
integral in two simpler integrals, such that:

`int (36x^5) dx + int (3x^2)dx
= 36 int x^5 dx + 3 int x^2 dx`

`int (36x^5) dx + int (3x^2)dx = 36 x^6/6 + 3
x^3/3 + c`

Reducing duplicate factors yields:

`int (36x^5)
dx + int (3x^2)dx = 6x^6 + x^3 + c`

Hence, evaluating the
function f(x) using anti-derivatives, yields `f(x) = x^3(6x^3 + 1) + c.`

Why Did Okonkwo beat Nwoye in Things Fall Apart?

The
following quote indicates clearly whyfound it necessary to beat his young son:

Okonkwo ruled his household with a heavy hand. His wives, especially
the youngest, lived in perpetual fear of his fiery temper, and so did his little children.
Perhaps down in his heart Okonkwo was not a cruel man. But his whole life was
dominated by fear, the fear of failure and of weakness. It was deeper and more intimate than the
fear of evil and capricious gods and of magic, the fear of the forest, and of the forces of
nature, malevolent, red in tooth and claw. Okonkwo's fear was greater than these. It was not
external but lay deep within himself. It was the fear of himself, lest he should be found to
resemble his father.

Okonkwo would
therefore do everything in his power to ensure that , who was to carry his name and legacy,
shall never come to represent , Okonkwo's father who, because of his tardiness, brought shame to
his family.

The following quote further emphasises Okonkwo's concern in this
regard:

Okonkwo's first son, Nwoye, was then twelve years
old but was already causing his father great anxiety for his incipient laziness.
At any rate, that was how it looked to his father, and he sought to correct him by constant
nagging and beating.

Since he was a
dedicated, hard worker who wanted only the best for himself and his family, Okonkwo had the same
expectation of his son:

Okonkwo wanted his son to be a
great farmer and a great man. He would stamp out the disquieting signs of laziness
which he thought he already saw in him.

Okonkwo was very firm and told Nwoye:

I will not
have a son who cannot hold up his head in the gathering of the clan. I would sooner strangle him
with my own hands. And if you stand staring at me like that," he swore, "Amadiora will
break your head for you!"

Whenwas placed in
Okonkwo's care, he and Nwoye built an almost inseparable relationship. Ikemefuna taught Nwoye
many new things and Okonkwo noticed a change in his son's attitude. In his eyes, Nwoye was
beginning to behave much more like a man, and this brought Okonkwo great pleasure.

Okonkwo was inwardly pleased at his son's development, and he knew
it was due to Ikemefuna. He wanted Nwoye to grow into a tough young man capable of
ruling his father's household when he was dead and gone to join the
ancestors.

Please identify some modern themes of human nature used by Hawthorne in The Scarlet Letter and The House of Seven Gables.

In the novels
The Scarlett Letter  and The House of Seven Gables
uses similar modernregarding human nature which are most salient in the way that physical and
psychological traits are depicted. These traits are even more impressive when juxtaposed to the
time and place of the novels, which entail a period of relative harmony and community among the
people of Massachusetts. However, this contrast is precisely what Hawthorne aims to achieve to
present his main idea. Three of the manythat could be extrapolated are misjudgement, deception,
and hypocrisy.

Misjudgement-  The theme of
misjudgement is identifiable in both novels. In , the scorn of the people
is focused onand her "crime" of having become pregnant from an unknown man. As a
result, she becomes the pariah of her society and the scapegoat through which the villagers
channel their own vices. Despite of the great efforts she does for the community that condemned
her, people continue to see Hester as a sinner and act holier than thou in her present.
Similarly, The House of Seven Gables Hepzibah Pincheon's visual impediment
makes her LOOK unapproachable, but she is inherently kind and good-natured. The basic idea is
that appearances fool everyone, and that it is unfortunate that someone's looks, or even their
reputation is the most important factor for shallow people to make their judgment of
others.

Deception- Following along the lines of
misjudgment, deception is a crucial theme in both novels. In Scarlet the
unfair treatment of Hester is exacerbated by the blind fanaticism that the villagers feel for
Reverend , described as

The young divine, whose
scholar-like renown still lived in Oxford, was considered by his more fervent admirers as little
less than a heavenly ordained apostle...

Little did the
town know that it was he who impregnated the very woman whose life they have made impossible,
and that beneath that look of sainthood lives a man of flesh and bone who may very well have a
sadistic tendency for inflicting pain upon himself. Until the very end, Dimmesdale refuses to
let go of his "saintly" reputation and face the facts that surround him.

In Seven Gables the character of Judge Pyncheon is similar to that
of Dimmesdale in that they both enjoyed a great reputation and status within the community.
Judge Pyncheon's larger than life personality and his dashing smile completely hides his true
persona: he is selfish, heartless, a liar, and a bully who uses his rank to get whatever he
wants.

Hypocrisy- There is a clear social class
division in both of Hawthorne's novels. Those who serve as elders to the community are treated
like celebrities, basically, allowing them to indulge in less than  holy behaviors. In
The Scarlet Letter, the puritan leaders seem to have forgotten the vow of
poverty and simplicity in dress and lifestyle that the religion entails. We know for a fact that
at least Dimmesdale blew his vow for chastity. Yet, the loyalty to the faith is almost demanded
from all villagers to the point of putting Hester on the pillory for it.

Similarly, Gables also shows the double standards when the
powerful do something versus the not-so-powerful. The feud between the Mauds and the Pyncheons,
Matthew's severe complex with being identified as a working class man, and Alices snubbing of
him for that very reason makes it clear that Hawthorne intends to mock society, its ridiculous
divisions, and the silly behaviors of the people in general.

What is Ulysses' opinion of retirement in "Ulysses"?

The
construction ofin Tennyson's poem is one that dislikes retirement.  Essentially, Tennyson
constructs a character who cannot return to the life of domesticity.  After enduring so very
much in his trials to get back home, Tennyson argues that Ulysses would have a difficult time
putting this aside and returning to the life of the simple husband and father in
Ithaca: ...

history of movies date of frist time visual effects were used and frist movie they were used in

I wonder when special
effects became an actual specialty. Clearly filmmakers have been altering and adjusting and
tweaking film to create special effects since the dawn of cinema. When did that act become a
speciality though? 

What are the comparisons between Night and Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz?

The
first point we must consider in answering this is the respective ages of Wiesel and Levi at the
time of the events they narrated. Wiesel was 14; Levi was 24.had the double misfortune of being
too young to grasp a situation which even for an adult is incomprehensible. Primo Levi, as an
adult, already was aware at the time he was arrested in Italy and placed on the convoy bound for
the concentration camp that he and the others were en route to their deaths.

Another factor is that Wiesel was growing up in a religious environment in his home town of
Sighet in Hungary. The first chapter of his book deals with his religious feelings, his studying
the Torah, and his friendship with Moishe the Beadle, who in some sense represents the essence
of the spiritual world to him. Yet Moishe is the one who is deported first, then escapes and
returns to Sighet, where no one believes his account of the murders of the Jews he witnessed.
The entire community has been sheltered from this...

Stanza by stanza summary of the poem "On killing a Tree" by Gieve Patel and the rhyme scheme.

I will get you
started

This poem paints a vivid and brutal picture of what is involved in
killing a tree, but I think there can be a deeper meaning as well. The poet uses strong images
to show that it takes quite a bit of doing to kill a tree. It is not enough to merely hack it
with an ax. One must pull it up by the roots too eliminate it. Only then will it die in the
scorching and choking sun and air. A full-grown tree has taken a long time to get to its
present state. It has been fed by the earth for years, absorbing sunlight, air, water and if
one merely hacks and chops off the branches, it will grow back. No. What needs to be done is
to pull it out by the roots, separate it from its source of nourishment, the earth. How to do
that? Tie a rope around it, pull it out completely, expose its strength (the roots), and let the
strength dry up and die.

There are all sorts of things that this could be
compared to, I think. For one thing, in Christian theology, there are many references to the
vine and the branches. Christians believe that Jesus is the vine, and his people are the
branches. When the branches are disconnected from the vine, they die. They do not have enough
strength on their own to survive. In Native American beliefs, when the people are removed from
their land, they cannot live. The land nourishes them and is their root.

Or, what if we are talking about a human being? Lets say the root is love. What would
happen to us if love were removed from our lives? What if it were a love that had been growing
for a long time? A few little stabs or hacks would not destroy that love, something drastic
would have to be done, perhaps betrayal, and then the love would die because the trust, which is
the root of the love, would be exposed, pulled out from its source.

Get my
drift? Now, what do YOU think?

As for meter and rhyme scheme, this poem is
written in .

What is the cobalt (II) ion concentration in a solution prepared by mixing 379 mL of 0.372 M cobalt (II) nitrate with 455 mL of 0.209 M sodium...

The
balanced chemical equation for the reaction between cobalt (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide can
be written as:

`Co(NO_3)_2 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) -> Co(OH)_2 (s) + 2NaNO_3
(aq)`

Here, 1 mole of cobalt nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide
to form 1 mole of cobalt hydroxide and 2 moles of sodium nitrate. 

We are
given that 379 ml of 0.372 M cobalt nitrate is mixed. This means that 0.141 moles (= 0.379 lt x
0.372 moles/lt) of cobalt nitrate has been mixed.

Also, 455 ml of 0.209 M
sodium hydroxide has been used, that is, 0.095 moles (= 0.455 lt x 0.209 moles/lt) has been
mixed.

Using stoichiometry, sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant and we
will use only 0.095/2 moles = 0.048 moles of cobalt nitrate and will generate only 0.048 moles
of cobalt hydroxide. 

This means that 0.093 moles (= 0.141 - 0.048 moles) of
cobalt nitrate are unused and are in aqueous form. 

The solubility product of
cobalt nitrate is given as 1.3 x 10^-15.

That is, `[Co^(2+)][OH^-]^2 = 1.3 xx
10^(-15) = [Co^(2+)]^3`

solving this, we get, `[Co^(2+)] = 1.091 xx 10^(-5)
M`

Thus, the total concentration of cobalt (II) ions in solution = 0.093
moles + 1.091 x 10^-5 moles = 0.093 moles.

Hope
this helps.

 

What purpose does Jonathan Edwards's sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" serve?

gave his
"" sermon because he felt a great burden to see unsaved persons turn to Christ, which
he believed was the only way to God and eternal life. In this sermon, Edwards describes vivid
pictures of the dire situation of those not in favor with the almighty God.

He says, The Use may be of Awakening to
unconverted persons in this congregation (see the entire sermon href="http://edwards.yale.edu/archive?path=aHR0cDovL2Vkd2FyZHMueWFsZS5lZHUvY2dpLWJpbi9uZXdwaGlsby9nZXRvYmplY3QucGw/Yy4yMTo0Ny53amVv">here).

Edwards's purpose and use of powerful, persuasive language is excellently displayed in
this excerpt: 

So that thus it is, that natural men [i.e. people in their
present state; unrepentant] are held in the hand of God over the pit of hell; they have deserved
the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it; and God is dreadfully provoked€¦ and they have
done nothing in the least to appease or abate that anger, neither is God in the least bound by
any promise to hold 'em up one moment; the devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them,
the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them, and swallow them up;
the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out; and they have no interest in
any mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security to them. In short, they
have no refuge, nothing to take hold of, all that preserves them every moment is the mere
arbitrary will, and uncovenanted unobliged forbearance of an incensed God ( href="http://edwards.yale.edu/archive?path=aHR0cDovL2Vkd2FyZHMueWFsZS5lZHUvY2dpLWJpbi9uZXdwaGlsby9nZXRvYmplY3QucGw/Yy4yMTo0Ny53amVv">Sinners
in the Hands of an Angry God). 

With these frightening words,
Edwards is saying that we, in our natural stateas we are bornare sinners. We have blatantly and
irrevocably offended an all-powerful God, and are now hanging by a thread over the mouth of
Hell. The only thing keeping us from suffering in horrifying anguish is that Gods will has not
decreed us to dieyet.

Edwards does not leave us to complete despair, however.
There is hope for salvation from this damnation. He says, here you are in the land of the
living, and in the house of God, and have an opportunity to obtain salvation.

And now you have an extraordinary opportunity, a day wherein Christ has flung the
door of mercy wide open, and stands in the door calling and crying with a loud voice to poor
sinners; a day wherein many are flocking to him€¦many that were very lately in the same
miserable condition that you are in, are in now an happy state, with their hearts filled with
love to him that has loved them and washed them from their sins in his own blood, and rejoicing
in hope of the glory of God. 

Edwards desires to awaken his congregants from
(what he perceives to be) their blindness, pride, and darkness, to see that Jesus Christ is what
we need. Jesus is the only One who can rescue us from the impending wrath of an incensed
God. 

Edwards speaks terrifying words. He also speaks words of hope, but does
so urgently, knowing we could die at any moment and forever be banished from Gods presence and
plunged into eternal wrath and damnation. Once we die, it is too late. 

In
John 14:6, Jesus says, I am the way, and the truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father
but through Me (NASB).

Edwards desperately wants us to see that Christ is the
only salvation from this terrible fate, and he hopes we will be driven to Christ once we hear
Edwards describe the wrath of God and our hopeless state.

whole sermon href="http://edwards.yale.edu/archive?path=aHR0cDovL2Vkd2FyZHMueWFsZS5lZHUvY2dpLWJpbi9uZXdwaGlsby9nZXRvYmplY3QucGw/Yy4yMTo0Ny53amVv">here.

In Pygmalion, what is Liza's one quality that most fascinates Higgins and Pickering?

Higgins and
Pickering are fascinated by the way Liza speaks.

Higgins is a scientist of
phonetics. When he meets Liza in the rain, he jots down her words phonetically and then guesses
her exact birthplace from her accent.

Pickering is a linguist of Indian
dialects. Pickering is on his way to introduce himself to Professor Higgins when they meet by
accident on the corner in the rain. Pickering observes Higgins recording Liza's words and
guessing her origin. He finds Higgins's ability to pinpoint a person's birth place from their
accent admirable.

Later, Higgins and Pickering are socializing at Higgins's
house when Liza comes and offers to pay a shilling to Higgins to teach her to talk like a lady.
Pickering offers to pay for the lessons under the condition that Higgins can pass Liza off as a
duchess at an upcoming garden party. Higgins therefore is initially interested in Liza for her
cockney accent, while Pickering is interested in whether Liza can change her accent and learn to
speak like a duchess.

What are examples of hyperbole in chapters 1-3 of To Kill a Mockingbird?

is a type
of figurative speech used in literature to emphasize and exaggerate specific features of ,
places, and objects in a story.uses hyperbole in to give readers a feel
for how the children view their world and the people in it.

For example, in
chapter one,describestoas "about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he
dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained €“ if
you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off." Boo Radley is not, in fact, a
phantom nor does he eat raw squirrels and cats. But by using such an exaggerated description of
the character, Lee is able to show the reader that the children in town view the reclusive Boo
as a sinister, larger-than-life person that they are scared of. 

In chapter
three,tells Scout, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his
point of view . . . until you climb into...

I need to write a commemorative speech for my speech class and I have never seen or heard a commemorative speech. Please Help!!! I was hopeing to get...

As you have
figured out, a commemorative speech honors a person or event. It is often given on the
anniversary of the event (such as Lincoln's Gettysburg Address speech) or sometimes at an event
held to honor a person. In your case, your speech must commemorate someone that was once in your
life, but no longer is, and you say that you don't have such a person in your life. So, how
about choosing to write about some famous person that has died. Even though you may not have
known this person personally, you can still commemorate him or her for the contribution he or
she made to society. For example, in 2009, Edward Kennedy died. You could write a speech
commemorating his contributions to American society. If you do some research, you can find out
about these contributions and write a pretty powerful speech, I would imagine.

In 2008, Michael DeBakey died. He was a pioneering cardiovascular surgeon that made
huge contributions to heart surgery. You could write about him. Or, you could go back further in
time and choose a famous person that you admire and write a commemorative speech about that
person.

If you search online for "people who died in ____" and plug
in a year, you will find lists of people that died in any given year. Perhaps someone in that
list is one that you admired, and you will have your subject. Perhaps you admire a famous
musician or actor who has died. What would you do if you could spend one last day with that
person?

Next, you can write about what one thing you would do with this
person if you could bring him or her back to life for one more day. Was there something in the
person's life that was left unfinished when they died? Perhaps this will
help.

In In Cold Blood, what is the significance of Perry singing the song 'In the Garden'?

The
decidedly unreligious Perry Smith is depicted as singing the popular religious song, €˜In the
Garden on the night when he is to commit a shocking multiple murder. Capote has his reasons for
including this particular detail at this point in the story.

Throughout the
text Capote portrays Perry as a complex character who does not deserve to be written off purely
as a cold and callous killer. Without making any direct attempt to excuse Perrys actions, Capote
confronts the reader with a picture of a sensitive and even sympathetic character to some
extent. We are frequently referred to Perrys grim background of poverty and abuse and extreme
neglect, a factor that cannot be ignored in any discussion of his crimes. Along with this,
Capote makes a point of stressing Perrys better qualities, most of all his highly creative
abilities. He is often shown playing his guitar and singing, but all his talents go to
waste.

Capote implicitly condemns society for neglecting individuals like
Perry. The murder of the Clutters is figured, at least in part, as Perrys revenge on society for
his past deprivation: €˜Maybe it's just that the Clutters were the ones who had to pay for it,
he remarks.

Perrys rendition of an uplifting song like €˜In the Garden on the
eve of committing a ghastly crime at once tantalises and baffles the reader, thus evoking the
kind of complex response to Perrys character intended by Capote. It is also a narrative device
used for heightened dramatic and ironic effect.

It is noteworthy that the
song Perry sings is a religious one. Perry is generally shown to be anything but religious, at
least in the conventional sense. A lot of this has to do with his ill-treatment as a child in
orphanages run by nuns. Yet he responds emotionally to religion; he weeps when hearing Christmas
carols and paints pictures of Jesus in prison, prompting the Rev. Post to exclaim that anyone
who can produce such pictures €˜cant be a hundred per cent bad.  It is undoubtedly Capotes aim
to show that Perry, in spite of his terrible actions and lack of real repentance, is not a
hundred percent bad.

Finally, we can note that music is of itself a kind of
religious activity for Perry. His most treasured possession is his old Gibson guitar, and when
it is stolen he grieves its loss, for, as he says:

You
have a guitar long enough, like I had that one €¦ it gets to be kind of holy.

Music could have been Perrys salvation; instead, he ends up a
notorious murderer. 

Why was Radical Reconstruction "radical"?

What
made Radicalradical was its extensive use of federal power to achieve its policy goals. Although
the Civil War appeared to have settled the vexed question of the political and legal supremacy
of central government over the states, Radical Reconstruction still envisaged an expansion of
federal power unprecedented in American history.

The attitude of the
radicals was crucial here. They regarded the Southern secessionists as traitors who needed to be
punished. That meant that strong measures would be needed to ensure that the South would never
rise again. As the vast majority of Southern whites were still implacably opposed to civil
rights for the newly-freed slaves, this meant that only concerted action by the federal
government was capable of implementing both the letter and the spirit of the
Fourteenth...

What is the tradegy in the play Oedipus Rex? Was Oedipus empathetic to his subjects?

You have
asked two questions, but I am allowed to answer only one at a time. You must list the second
question as a separate posting.

Theofis a famous one.

At
the start of the play, a Priest and people of Thebes come to Oedipus to ask for help, which he
promises. They tell him they have been hounded by terrible disasters because someone in Thebes
killed King Laius. Oedipus promises to find out what is going on.

The history
that leads to this point of the play is that Oedipus is the true son of Laius and , King and
Queen of Thebes. One day an oracle (fortune teller) declares that Oedipus will kill his father
and marry his mother. To prevent the prophecy from coming true, the parents decide the child
must die. A servant takes their baby to kill him, but decides instead to abandon him on a
mountain side, expecting he will starve to death.

After the servant leaves,
however, a shepherd finds the child and takes him to another country to avoid his fate.
Ultimately, the child finds his way into the household of King Polybus of Corinth, who raises
Oedipus as his own. Oedipus knows nothing of this. One day he is attacked by a two men on the
road; unknowingly, he kills his father, as he slays both men.

Oedipus becomes
King of Thebes because he solves the riddle of the Sphinx, a monster who was eating all
passersby if they could not answer his question. To further honor him, the people of Thebes
insist Oedipus marry Jocasta. No one knows that he is marrying his mother. They have
children.

After Oedipus promises to find the murderer of the former king, he
speaks to an oracle who tries to tell him that HE is the murderer he seeks. Oedipus does not
believe this. He feels that it is a plot by Laius' brother () to steal the throne from him.
Creon swears this is not true. To intercede for Creon, Jocasta repeats the story of her
husband's death as a witness had reported it to her.

Hearing the details,
Oedipus realizes that he did, in fact, kill Lauis, but believes that Polybus was his true
father, a man who died of old age; Oedipus therefore believes he did not kill his
father.

In the meantime, the shepherd who had left Oedipus on the mountain
side comes to Oedipus and reports that he was, in fact, the child of Laius and Jocasta. Jocasta
kills herself realizing she has married and born children to her son. Devastated by the truth,
Oedipus puts out his eyes, though this does not put his mind at ease. He asks Creon to care for
his daughter; Oedipus says his farewells to his daughters. Then he asks Creon to exile him from
the city.  And so the play ends.

In summary, the tragedies are that Oedipus
unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother (and they have children), his mother/wife
kills herself, and he blinds himself and leaves Thebes.

 

Please explain why efficiency and effectiveness are important to management.

It is
very important for management to be efficient and effective. Successful businesses are the ones
that are very efficient. When management uses resources efficiently, they are able to maximize
production, the use of the workforce, and profits. Inefficiency leads to increased costs. It may
also lead to a misuse of the workforce, which could create problems.

Management must also be effective. It must be effective in dealing with issues that
arise with the workforce. Unhappy workers may be less productive. If tensions exist in the
workplace, productivity may also suffer. Management must be able to deal with these issues to
provide a positive work environment.

Management must also be effective when

In Night, analyze how the changes in his relationship with his father affect the way Eliezer sees himself as an individual. How do they affect way he...

Over the
course of his hellish experiences, Eliezer increasingly comes to feel that his father is a
burden. Like every other prisoner in Auschwitz, Eliezer's whole purpose in life is to survive,
and looking out for his father makes this harder. Elie's father is becoming weaker by the day,
requiring more effort on Elie's part to help him. But Elie finds it hard enough to look after
himself, let alone anyone else, even his closest surviving relative.

So he
becomes increasingly indifferent to his father's welfare, looking on impotently while he's
savagely beaten to within an inch of his life by two SS guards. It gets to the point where Elie
actually wishes that his father would die to put the both of them out of their misery. And when
Elie's father finally does die, Elie can't even bring himself to cry. All he can think about at
that moment is where his next meal's coming from.

Elie recognizes that he's
become a different person due to his experiences in Auschwitz. Somewhat less than a man, he's
been reduced to the status of an animal by the Nazis' systematic brutality and
inhumanity.

How does a musician express his/her fellings through music, especially with the Blues????

Music is very
representational of peoples emotions and feelings and has been over the course of history.
People have written music to share their feelings, thoughts, and to tell stories.

Blues originated from African slaves in the south. They wrote music and sang while they
worked in the fields. They put their feelings of back breaking labor into words. During this
time, their singing was called "field hollers" and served as the origination of blues
music.

After the civil war many black men went on to work as musicians. The
music they sang was very soulful and emotional and focused on the life of the typical black
American. They sang about  everyday life, including hard work, love, poverty, drinking,
railroads, etc.

What do shortcomings (in business) mean? And an example please.

A
shortcoming is some kind of imperfection or lack that takes away from the strength of a whole
person, plan, system, and so on. In some regards, a shortcoming is a subjective analysis. Saying
that someone is disorganized is a relative statement because it begs the question
"disorganized compared to what?" Despite that relativity, theis still negative. Saying
that someone or someone's business is disorganized would be considered a shortcoming.

The disorganization, as a business shortcoming, could cover a broad range of things.
The business might be disorganized regarding the...

Why is Elizabeth described as a faithful woman in the final scene?

Elizabeth is Hooper's fianc©e. She is
generally described as a kind-hearted and loving woman. When Hooper adopts the black veil and
refuses to take it off, much of the town turns away from him in fearexcept for Elizabeth. She
remains by his side for a long time and tries her best to be cheerful even if she finds the veil
morbid; but even she has her limits.

When Hooper refuses to ever take off the
veil, even when they are alone, Elizabeth wonders why. Hooper tells her the veil represents the
secret sin which all people hide. Just then, Elizabeth becomes as disturbed by the veil as
everyone else. She leaves Hooper, breaking off their engagement, since he would rather make the
existence of his dark side plain than hide it beneath a guileless mask.

Elizabeth never marries. Even though she avoids interacting with Hooper directly, she
still inquires after him to make sure he is doing well. So, even though Elizabeth is technically
single, she is still connected to Hooper. She still loves him, despite knowing about the
existence of his secret sins, even though she is not willing to marry him and be part of his

What is a resume of the following article? https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/amazon-burns-230-big-investors-call-firms-protect-worlds-rainforests

While
I cannot provide you with a direct answer to the questionthat is, a summary of the articleI will
provide some facts and leads that will hopefully point you in the right direction and help you
write your answer.

The article deals with the initiative taken by a big group
of investors to protect Amazon rainforests. As many as 230 investors that manage around $16.2
trillion have signed a declaration calling on companies to ensure minimum or no-deforestation
policy.

The burning of Amazon forests has both environmental and economic
consequences. It is easy to understand the environmental consequences of deforestation, in terms
of loss of biodiversity; loss of habitat and food for animals, birds, etc.; reduced oxygen
production and carbon dioxide consumption; etc.

The economic consequences are
a little difficult to comprehend. Deforestation allows the farmers and planners in obtaining
more land for agriculture and development purposes and will result in increased farmer incomes.
However, the long-term scenario may have negative effects due to increased pollution levels and
consequent remediation costs.

From the article, you can gather that while the
governments of the affected regions, including Brazil and Bolivia, have not done much to prevent
the fires (and deforestation; and in some cases may have encouraged it). The investors are
conscious of the negative effects of deforestation and are willing to take steps to prevent
it.

As a responsible citizen, you can think of this as a step in a positive
direction and that hopefully, it will result in firms being proactive in protecting these
forests (and hopefully at other places in the world as well). On the other hand, kindly also
factor in the scenario that farmers in these countries have a right to generate more income and
while it may be easier for investors to push firms towards environmental protection; some
incentives to these countries for protecting the forests are also needed.

You
can think of some incentives such as subsidy, higher purchase price, etc. to demotivate the
farmers from forest burning. You may also wish to include other means through which these firms
can support the environmental cause while ensuring the development of the region and its
population.

Hope this helps.

In Chapter 4 of The Scarlet Letter, what two lines indicate the Doctor and Hester knew each other before their prison-house meeting?

Inof
The Scarlett Letter, after Hester's public punishment on the scaffold of
public shame, she is in such a state of wild distress once she is returned to her prison cell
that the jailer is compelled to call in a physician. The physician is the same man from the
crowd whom Hester had seen earlier who had riveted her eyes in a fixed gaze of
recognition:

appeared that individual, of singular aspect
whose presence in the crowdhad been of such deep interest to the wearer of the scarlet
letter.

Although, by a seemingly careless arrangement of his
heterogeneousgarb, he had endeavoured to conceal or abate the peculiarity, it wassufficiently
evident tothat one of this man's shouldersrose higher than the other. Again, at the first
instant of perceivingthat thin visage, and the slight deformity of the figure, she pressedher
infant to her bosom with so convulsive a force that the poor babeuttered another cry of
pain.

Though no direct statements are made, the stranger,
calling himself , fits the brief description given inof the intellectual scholar who was her
husband whose aspect floated before Hester's eyes along with that of the long absent visages of
her father and mother. With this in mind, Hester's remark to him upon his offer of a medicinal
for her baby identifies Chillingworth as someone known before, in fact, it identifies him as her
long missing husband.

Hester repelled the offered
medicine, at the same time gazing withstrongly marked apprehension into his face. "Wouldst
thou avenge thyselfon the innocent babe?" whispered she.

Along with the fact of his singular physical description marking him as one whom she
knew before, Hester's use of the word avenge confirms that he was in fact
her husband for it is only her husband who would have cause to avenge himself of her crime of
adultery. There is further confirmation of his previously known identity in the narrator's
remark that Chillingworth gazed at Hester with:

a gaze
that made her heart shrink and shudder, because so familiar, and yet so strange and
cold.

What are some connotations of "The Tyger" by William Blake?

was a
metaphysical poet, meaning that his poems often held connotations about the deeper questions of
life and the meaning of existence. I like that you have have asked about
"connotations" in plural form, for a poem or any piece of literature can have multiple
connotations. Ais the deeper meaning the reader takes from the work; it does not have to reflect
the connotation the writer hoped to impart--as long as it is based on an accurate reading of the
text. 

To draw connotations from "," it's helpful to compare it to
its matching poem. Blake wrote "Songs of Innocence" and "Songs of
Experience," two collections of poetry that demonstrated his belief that "without
contraries is no progression." Often two separate poems will have the same title, such as
" " or "Holy Thursday." Such pairings represent contrasting views of the
same subject, the first viewed from the perspective of "innocence" and the second
viewed from the perspective of...

Describe the end of the first party system in the late 1810s and the beginning of the second party system in the 1820s.

At a
national level, the first two-party system, one which featured the Federalists and the
Democratic-Republicans, broke down in the aftermath of the War of 1812. One major reason was
that Federalists had, for the most part, stridently opposed the war, and they paid the price for
this stance at the ballot box amid the wave of nationalism that swept the country in its
aftermath. The period following the conflict witnessed one-party dominance to a greater extent
than any in American history, though this so-called "Era of Good Feelings" was
short-lived. In fact, the Democratic-Republicans experienced a great deal of factional conflict
over the so-called "American System" that provided federal support for economic
expansion and the issue of the expansion of slavery.

The latter issue came
to the fore with the Missouri Crisis that began in 1819 and ended with a series of compromise
measures in 1820. Four serious candidates for President emerged from the Democratic-Republican
ranks in 1824,...

Name three clever things Montresor does to lure Fortunato into his trap in "The Cask of Amontillado".

One of
the most clever things Montresor does in entrapping Fortunato is to make sure that his intended
victim is not expected at home or anywhere else that night. Montresor twice pretends to believe
that Fortunato has an engagement. First he says:

As you
are  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">engaged,
I am on my way to  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">Luchesi.
If any one has a critical turn it is he. He will tell me href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">

This also introduces the idea that if Fortunato should refuse to
accompany Montresor to his palazzo for any reason, Montresor would immediately go to Luchesi to
ask him to judge his wine. Fortunato responds to the mention of Luchesi but not to the
supposition that he is "engaged." Montresor must find out. He wants to leave a cold
trail. If Fortunato is expected anywhere that night, Montresor will probably postpone his
revenge. Again he brings up his enemy's supposed engagement, and this time he gets the
information he wants:

href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">My
friend, no; I will not impose upon your  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">good
nature. I perceive you have an  href="https://www.owleyes.org/text/cask-amontillado/read/the-cask-of-amontillado">engagement

Compare and contrast "The Fish" by Mary Oliver, and "The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop. Consider the tone, voice, form, use of figurative language, symbol...

Your
question has many parts to it, but I can, unfortunately, answer only one. I have selected the
last part:

Are both women reaching the same conclusions or different ones
based on their experiences with the fish?

The response that I have for each
poem is based primarily on the different experiences of each woman in catching her
fish.

Oliver's poem lists the physical attributes of the fish, and discusses
how the oxygen is so deadly for it. It describes rainbows, which I assume refer to the light
refracting off of its shiny skin. However, the speaker conquers the fish, kills, cleans, and
eats it so that they become one. Oliver seems to describe how the death of the fish nourishes
the speaker. But she also addresses the shared experience the fish and the person both have in
the pain of this "mysterious" thing called life. The poem left me feeling that the
fish was a victim, somehow a sacrifice for man's betterment.

Bishop's poem
also has wonderful. She describes the danger of the...

How long did Telemachus search for his father, Odysseus?

In

War. While Odysseus faces obstacle after obstacle that keep him from going home, his wife
Penelope and son Telemachus are harassed by suitors who want to marry Penelope. 

The goddess Athena tells Telemachus that he should go out into the world in search of
information about Odysseus, and when he agrees, she provides him with a ship and crew. When
Telemachus leaves Ithaca, Odysseus has already been away from home for 20 years. Telemachus only
spends 1 year away from Ithaca on his search, but with the help of Athena, he and Odysseus end
up returning to Ithaca at about the same time. While his journey may not have been as long as
his father's, Telemachus's time away from Ithaca helps him to grow as a
man.

Goodman Brown is
shocked to learn not only about the relationships between these individuals and the devil, but
also how well-established these relationships seem to be. The Devil greets Goody Cloyse, for
example, as an "'old friend,'" and she even refers to him as "'your
worship,'" a term of respect and reverence. Brown is surprised because, as he tells the
Devilwho he calls "Friend""I thought she was going to Heaven!" He is shocked
to learn that this seemingly pious pillar of the community, someone who is entrusted to teach
the children their religious lessons, is actually a sinner. Brown rebuffs the Devil, then sits
down to rest and consider his choices:

[He] applaud[ed]
himself greatly . . .thinking with how clear a conscience he should meet the minister, in his
morning-walk, nor shrink from the eye of good old Deacon Gookin.

Brown respects these men, and he wants them to respect him as well. He assumes,

From what point of view is Jonathan Edwards' "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" written? And what's the overall effect?

"" was

simply living a good life could prevent their damnation.

Edwards was part of
the first Great Awakening, a religious movement that swept New England and other areas in the
1730s and 1740s. The Puritans sensed a decline in people's religiosity, and the Great Awakening
was an attempt to reawaken people's belief in the potential of God to decide their fate. Much of
the preaching during the time period was fiery sermons designed to awaken

Compare and contrast the themes and structure of "Journey" and "The Road Not Taken."

Both poems
involve taking a journey on a road. In Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken," the
narrator, traveling through the woods, reaches a place where the road forks into two different
directions. He has to make a decision and go one way or the other. He chooses the road less
traveled and says that has made "all the difference."

Likewise, in
Oliver's "Journey," the speaker must make a decision about which way to go: staying
home and "mending" her ways to become a conformist doing what others say is right, or
following her own heart and going out on the road. She, like Frost's narrator, chooses to reject
conformity. As in Frost's poem, the road becomes afor the journey we take in life as we make
decisions to go one way or another: in Oliver's case, the road is "full of fallen branches
and stones." This suggests that like Frost's road, it is less traveled than other paths
through life.

Oliver's speaker, however, is more intentional about her life
choices, whereas Frost's simply...

What is a summary of chapter 20 of "Lyddie"?

In Chapter
20,continues to stay vigilant but indifferent to Mr. Marsden's lack of regard. She is simply
pleased that he chooses to ignore her. To keep her mind off her unprincipled supervisor, Lyddie
decides to treat herself to some books.

In honor of Ezekiel Freeman, a former
slave and her friend, she purchases the Narrative of the Life of Frederick
Douglass and the Bible; both volumes are a great comfort to her on lonely Sundays.
Lyddie also enjoys Charles Dickens' account of his travels to America. As the summer progresses,
more and more New England workers leave. Meanwhile, Irish workers take up new places at the
looms.

To keep up her courage, Lyddie copies out passages from the book of
Psalms and Frederick Douglass' narrative to paste on her looms. Meanwhile, she and Brigid begin
to coach several of the new workers. Lyddie marvels at Brigid's patience with the girls, while
Brigid admires Lyddie's scholarly spirit. In due time, however, Lyddie discovers that Brigid is
illiterate. Lyddie then begins on a mission to teach her friend how to read, beginning with an
introduction to the alphabet.

Soon, a letter arrives from Charlie, who
informs Lyddie that Rachel has begun school again and that her cough is nearly gone. He begs her
to consider Luke Stevens' suit. As the fall approaches, a letter arrives to inform Lyddie of her
mother's death. Lyddie finds that she can hardly mourn; she feels that her mother had been lost
to her long before death took her.

In the fall, the days get shorter, and the
whale oil lamps must burn longer. Lyddie continues her lessons with Brigid but is surprised when
Brigid fails to show up for one of their sessions at the end of a particular shift. Lyddie goes
in search of her friend and eventually finds Brigid alone in the weaving room with Mr. Marsden.
Seeing Mr. Marsden's hands clamped on Brigid's arms, Lyddie crams a bucket full of stagnant
water over Mr. Marsden's head.

This gives Lyddie time to drag the beleaguered
Brigid away from their overseer. Meanwhile, Mr. Marsden's efforts to get the bucket off his head
remind Lyddie of the bear trying to do the same thing in her family's cabin at the beginning of
the book. The scene is so funny that Lyddie can't help breaking into uncontrollable laughter as
she drags Brigid to safety.

In Romeo and Juliet, how does Romeo learn about Juliet's death? What are the events that lead up to Juliet's death?

It's worth noting that 's "death"
isn't really her death at all in this context. Instead, she has taken a
strong sleeping potion that makes her appear dead in an effort to escape and live with .actually
pens a letter to Romeo to explain this scheme to reunite the young lovers, but in perhaps the
most tragic turn of events in the play, the letter never makes it to him.

News quickly spreads of beautiful Juliet's "death," and , Romeo's servant,
goes to Mantua to tell Romeo of this tragic turn of events. Romeo is, of course, immediately and
visibly upset. Balthasar notes:

I do beseech you, sir,
have patience.
Your looks are pale and wild, and do import
Some misadventure.
(V.i.27-29)

Romeo asks if Balthsar has a letter for him,
but he finds a dead end there. He therefore makes the immediate decision to find an apothecary
and purchase a poison to end his own life. This sets in motion a series of events that will lead
Juliet to her real and actual death.

Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God Summary

The gist of
the sermon can be found in the sentence

"There is nothing that keeps
wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God."

The sermon's goal was to a) instill a fear of God's omnipotence over the human race, b)
to create an awareness of man's nature as an original sinner,  c) to reinstate the Puritan
foundation of pre-determination which argues that men have no control over their fate, and that
it is God who decides whether you will enjoy the company of Grace or the Firepits of
Hades.

The audience for this sermon were people with similar believes, but it
is argued in theCenter at Yale University that such sermon was probably prepared especially
after a specific situation occurred in the congregation that led Edwards to believe that his
sheep were walking in the wrong path. This is supposedly evidenced by the strength of the
message. Why would Edwards be so emphatic in reinstating what everyone already knows if not that
something occurred...

Why does Mrs. Higgins tell Henry not to come to her social hour? What does she mean by his large talk?

Mrs.
Higgins tells Henry not to come to her social hour because he invariably ends up offending all
of her friends when he meets them. She also complains to Henry that her friends eventually stop
coming to her at-home days after making his acquaintance.

Shaw describes
Henry as the 'energetic, scientific type, heartily, even violently interested in everything that
can be studied as a scientific subject, and careless about himself and other
people, including their feelings.' In other words, Henry isn't very good at small
talk during social events; his manner generally varies from 'genial bullying when he is in a
good humor to stormy petulance when anything goes wrong.'

Henry is so fixated
and obsessed with his social experiments that he lacks the ability to endear himself to others;
in other words, he lacks the necessary patience to engage in polite conversation. This is
because he sees such conversation as fruitless and frivolous, serving no purpose
whatsoever. 

When Henry admits to his mother that he isn't very good at small
talk, she questions if his 'large talk' is any better. Henry's 'large talk' refers to the way he
speaks: he is either embarrassingly crude to the point of rudeness, or he resorts to speaking in
a highly stylized, elocutionary style when he wants to patronize and insult his hearers. In
colloquial English, we would say that Henry 'talks down' to people.

For example:

Higgins: Take her away and
clean her, Mrs. Pearce. Monkey Brand, if it won't come off any other way. (Here,
Henry rudely implies that Liza is extremely dirty and needs to be scrubbed
properly).

Higgins:Take all her clothes off and burn them.
(more rudeness).

Higgins:[with professional
exquisiteness of modulation] I walk over everybody! My dear Mrs. Pearce, my dear Pickering, I
never had the slightest intention of walking over anyone. All I propose is that we should be
kind to this poor girl. We must help her to prepare and fit herself for her new station in life.
If I did not express myself clearly it was because I did not wish to hurt her delicacy, or
yours. (Here, Henry shows that he is a master of the polite insult. His words and
manner are patronizing and hardly endears anyone to him).

HIGGINS [suddenly resorting to the most thrillingly beautiful low tones in
his best elocutionary style] By George, Eliza, the streets will be strewn with the
bodies of men shooting themselves for your sake before I've done with you. (Here,
Henry exhibits his arrogant belief that his own skills are so superior that he can transform
Liza into an exquisite lady any eligible man would kill to
marry).

What are the top inequalities in Animal Farm?

The top
inequalities can best be summed up by the altered seventh commandment, which says,

"ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN
OTHERS" (, 42).

Throughout the novel, the pigs
gradually begin taking advantage of the other animals on the farm by rewarding themselves with
special privileges. They initially take the best foods for themselves, which are apples and milk
that they mix into their mash under the pretense that they are "brainworkers." The
pigs also exempt themselves from physical labor and begin inhabiting the farmhouse.

In rank order, what are eight ways in which one can provide ethical leadership and what is the rationale for ranking them in this order?

There are
many ways to be an effective moral leader, but not all of them are as effective as one another.
As long as moral teachings are being presented, there should be some positive response,
regardless of the manner in which they are presented, but some tactics are far more effective
than others.

Leading by exampleThis is the most important because it shows
ethics, it encourages the behavior, and it also is by nature ethical action since you are acting
ethically by doing it.

Pointing to moral leadersthis is a great way to
encourage ethical behavior because it shows how to behave ethically and teaches morals by
following someone wise and experienced, and it encourages others to follow that
example.

Displaying negative leaders and discouraging those behaviorsnearly
as important as showing what ethical behavior looks like is showing the negative side of things.
This action will lead others by dissuading them from being unethical.

Having
people enact made-up ethical scenarioby having individuals test out ethics in their own
scenarios in a safe environment, you can lead and direct without ramifications. Unfortunately,
this may not be applied to real life well.

Having ethics discussionssimilar
to practicing ethics in made up scenarios, though experiments help to analyze ethics in various
complicated scenarios. Unfortunately, the distance this is removed from real life presents
challenges with application.

Teaching overarching principleswhile it is good
to teach grand principles that can be applied to many situations, it can be difficult to
determine how to apply it, especially if two or more ideas come into conflict.

Teaching moral catchphraseswhile short, neat phrases can be applicable to help someone
understand a short and sweet version of morality, it is often more superficial than deep and
helpful. It still has some benefit though, but less than even teaching overarching
principles.

Do as I say, not as I dostill beneficial, but the least
effective, moral leading in spite of immoral actions is hypocritical and will yield the poorest
results, if any.

What is the meaning of style in poetry? Please define.

This is a
broad question. It will certainly elicit many different responses. Style in poetry can refers to
almost anything. It can refer to the way an authors uses meter. For example, if an author always
uses dactylic hexameter, then it might be his style. The same can be said if a poet uses
literary devices such as , , assonance. Style can also be non-technical. It can refer to
content. If an author always uses imageries from nature, then it can be his or her style. In
short, style can refer to almost any aspect of poetry as long as the author tends to do it
often.
