What conclusions does Thoreau come to after his experiment in Walden?

In my
mind, the most profound of conclusions that Thoreau reaches is how the individual has to remain
distinct and separate from the social setting in order for a transcendent notion of unity to be
evident.  Thoreau concludes in a very strong and emphatic manner how the individual can only
find a sense of peace and unity when apart from the social...

How did Soviet plans for Eastern Europe differ from those of the other allies?

The Soviet
Union and the Allies had different opinions about what should happen in Eastern Europe after the
end of World War II. We made some agreements with the Soviet Union that ultimately werent
followed and led, to some degree, to the Cold War.

One area of difference was
in Poland. Before World War II began, Poland had its own government. At the end of World War II,
there was a Soviet-backed government in place. We had agreed with the Soviet Union to have free
elections in Poland after the end of World War II. We expected some of the members from the
pre-war Polish government to be members of the newly created post-war Polish government.
However, there was little evidence of free elections and most the new officials in the new
post-war government were from the Soviet government at the end of the war.

We
agreed with the Soviet Union to let the people of Eastern Europe choose their form of government
after World War II ended. However, the King of Romania indicated he received a great deal of
pressure from the Soviet Union to have a communist government. This violated the Declaration of
Liberated Europe agreement we had with the Soviet Union.

As a result of these
actions and subsequent ones, the Cold War began and then intensified after World War II
ended. 

What is the significance of the title of William Wordsworth's poem "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802"?

Wordsworth
generally wrote about nature, especially the nature around his home in the English Lake
District. What's significant about the title, therefore, is that it signals that this poem will
be about London, a major metropolis.

The words Westminster Bridge would tell
people to expect a poem about London the same way that titling a poem "The Golden Gate
Bridge" would indicate a San Francisco setting. Why, however, one might wonder, would a
nature poet compose verse about an urban area?

Wordsworth writes this poem to
communicate the way the city at dawn speaks to him. He finds a calm in watching it before it
wakes up and begins to bustle deeper than what he has ever experienced before. He is so moved by
the beauty and stillness of the this early morning scene that he wants to share with others that
the city, in certain moments, can speak to him as deeply as nature. The three exclamation points
emphasize how intensely moved he is:

Ne'er saw I, never
felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the
very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

How can I develop a thesis and essay about Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire?

To
develop a thesis for your essay, an important first step is deciding what you think the authors
intentions are in the play. Blanche DuBois is the main character, and she undergoes some major
changes through the course of the play. Blanche is often identified as a tragic hero, but others
feel that her flaws are so numerous that she does not constitute a hero figure. The other
characters view her in different ways depending on their relationship with her. Stella, her
sister, has deep affection for her, but Stellas husband despises and disrespects his
sister-in-law. Forming your own opinion of Blanche is a key step toward writing an effective
essay. The strong contrast between purity and physicality is an important element of her
.

Among the devices thatuses, symbolism stands out. You can identify a large
number of symbols, such as the name of the streetcar, which connects with the frequent
references to desire, often in connection with sexuality. This symbol also uses the literary
device of the : explicit comparison of unlike things. One relevant quote occurs early in the
play, when Blanche arrives and tells how she traveled: they told me to take a streetcar named
Desire. In a later conversation, when Stella tries to explain her passionate relations with her
husband, Blanche dismisses carnality:

What you are talking
about is brutal desirejustDesire!the name of that rattle-trap streetcar that bangs through the
Quarter.

Another symbol is light and whiteness, beginning
with Blanches name. Regardless of her sexual activity, Williams associates her with purity and
fragility. Associated quotes come from the stage directions, as he compares her to a moth. When
she arrives at Stellas apartment,

She is daintily dressed
in a white suit€¦Her delicate beauty must avoid a strong light. There is something about her
uncertain manner, as well as her white clothes, that suggests a moth.

was abandoned there, so he asked Odysseus to burn his body on a pyre and place...

In Oedipus Rex (or Oedipus the King), how does Oedipus show pride?

Kingdisplays his pride by believing that he can triumph over his fate and establish his
own destiny despite the gods' ultimate design. Oedipus is unaware of his background and does not
know that Polybus and Merope were his adopted parents. As a young man, Oedipus learns of the
prophecy that he will one day murder his father and marry his mother, which motivates him to
flee Corinth and travel to Thebes. Oedipus's attempt to avoid his fate illustrates his pride. He
naively believes that he is smart enough to outwit the gods and prevent his destiny from coming
to fruition.

What evidence is there in "Ulysses" that the speaker does not long for adventure but for death?

As with
much of Tennyson's verse, the dominant tone of " " is arguably one of quiet

Why does Beneatha want to pursue being a doctor in A Raisin in the Sun? In the play, her character she always talked about being a doctor, despite the...

One of
the most realistic things about sofYounger is her somewhat erratic path toward adulthood.
Beneatha is passionate about many things and more than once has changed her mind about her
career goals. Another realistic aspect related to Bennie is her family's attitudes toward these
changes. They have developed a tendency not to take her seriously because they assume that every
decision is just a whim that will give way to a different one as she outgrows them.

Bennie makes it clear, however, that studying medicine is a plan with which she is
going to stick. In the argument with , when he reveals his sexist attitudes, she emphasizes that
she has been going over this territory day after day. Walter tells her to settle for being
"a nurse like other womenor just get married and be quiet." While Beneatha's interests
are obviously in helping people, she is also committed to becoming a doctor precisely because,
at that time, there were so few African American physicians, not to mention female African
American physicians. She certainly is not going to be quiet.

what is my fault in birth. as family does not like arts so never supports me.lover of art, not getting any favour.no scholor shipfor me.why?

I think this
is just a matter of taste like one of the previous posts stated. If your family is not artistic
then it doesn't mean you can't be. People have different likes and dislikes all of the time. If
art makes you happy then that is what is important.

If I am understanding
you correctly you are saying that you cannot get an art scholarship. I am assuming that if your
family is not supportive of your dreams then you believe a scholarship is the only way you can
pursue this dream because they will not financially support you. If I were you I would check

Does the 4th Amendment apply to students in a private school based on whether the private school is a state actor?

Yes, there
is a difference in whether or not the 4th Amendment applies to a private school depending on if
they are a state actor. The 4th Amendment is the right to secure one's personal property against
unreasonable search and seizure. Because a private school can be classified as a state actor,
they do not have the authority to search an individual's personal propertyincluding taking urine
sampleswithout the individual's permission or a warrant.

In a typical school,
public or private, anything on the school grounds is available for search and seizure with some
small restrictions. In particular, items stored in lockers are fair game. However, if a private
school is a state actor, they have to abide by the Constitutional requirements that dictate
governmental actions.

The question arises when these schools violate basic
civil liberties as defined by the Constitution (in this case, the 4th Amendment). Is the
government subpoenaed as a result of the violation? Is the school stripped of its title as a
state actor? The Supreme Court is left to decide how to act in this situation, because, whether
intentionally or not, the school is acting on behalf of the government. As always, this makes
matters much more complicated.

Why is Simon's dead body carried out to sea in terms of glorification?

Golding
accomplishes three things with his one-page description of 's dead body being claimed by the
oncoming tide. First, he culminates the role of Simon as Christ-figure in the book. Second, he
contrasts the purity of nature with the depravity of humanity. Third, he allows a fitting period
of mourning that impresses upon the reader the impact of the murder.

Golding
takes great pains to establish Simon as a Christ-figure. He "feeds the five thousand"
when he passes fruit down to an endless sea of littluns. He is tempted by the devil in his
interaction with the . And when he appears during's feast, he is "crying out something
about a dead man on a hill." Simon, the most innocent and spiritual of all the boys, dies

In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", what traits does Edwards attribute to God as the sermon progresses?

From the
title alone, "," Edwards positions God as vengful, angry and serverely judgemental and
punishing. He is waiting to cast the sinner into the fires of Hell. 

"Edwards believed strongly that only a genuine conversion
experience should qualify a person for church membership. Revivalist preachers, therefore,
sought not only to address the intellect but also to engage the emotions so as to convince the
listeners of the seriousness of their sin and activate them to seek salvation from the
punishment they could expect from a righteous God."

This is his tone, he preaches the message of repentance because if you don't turn away
from sin, you will be cast into the burning fire for eternal perpetual suffering.

"There is no want of power in God
to cast wicked men into hell at any moment. Men's hands cannot be strong when God rises up. The
strongest have no power to resist him, nor can any deliver out of his hands.-He is not only able
to cast wicked men into hell, but he can most easily do it." (Edwards)   

The intended audience for Edward's sermon was the Puritan who now
had been in America for 100 years.  The revival or Great Awakening attempted to shake up the
congregation who had become complacent in their faith, living in the new world, they had grown
attached to material possessions and belief that they worthy due to their work ethic.

Edwards attempted to humble the Puritan population in front of a fiery God who was
disappointed with his people for turning their backs on his intended lifestyle of simplicity,
humility and freedom from the temptation of materialism and personal
achievement.

Describe three present day situations where the 5th Amendment might give a citizen important protections from a potentially abusive government?

The 5th
amendment provides several protections for citizens against potential abuses by the United
States government. One scenario in which the 5th amendment can be invoked for personal
protection of liberty could be in the case of a person who is on trial for an alleged crime. The
person on trial can not be forced to testify in the trial. The person has the right to not
incriminate himself or herself through his or her own testimony. As such, a person in a criminal
trial can invoke the 5th amendment and choose to not testify in court.

Another scenario in which the 5th amendment can be used involves the seizing of personal
property. Today, citizens are using the 5th amendment to fight against seizure of property that
mining and fracking companies are attempting to take in order for them to pursue their company
goals. As more and more natural gas and oil pipelines are being built in the United States, land
owners are beginning to use the 5th amendment to challenge pipeline infrastructure...

Please help me with quotes on masculinity in Macbeth, especially from Macduff and Banquo

Masculinity in is
strongly related to being a strong, courageous, and competent warrior. Closely connected with
this is the idea that men protect and avenge their families.

shows himself as an example of positive masculinity in his response to
the news thathas had his wife and children killed. Part of this is the emotional pain he feels
on hearing the news.tells him "Dispute it like a man."

Macduff responds as follows in Act IV, scene 3, saying that he also must
"feel" what happened as "a man," affirming the idea that masculinity
involves feeling and expressing grief over the death of loved ones. He speaks tenderly of the
wife and children who were "most precious" to him and wonders that heaven didn't
"take their part" or protect them:

... I must also feel it as a man.

I cannot
but remember such things were

That were most precious to me. Did heaven
look on,

And would not take their part?

But masculinity also means using his strength as a warrior
to avenge their deaths. Macduff says, stereotyping women as overly emotional and given to
crying, that he "could play the woman with mine eyes" or cry many tears, but instead,
having expressed his grief, he will do the manly thing and fight Macbeth "this fiend of
Scotland" with his sword. He asks heaven to bring him face to face with Macbeth so they
can battle it out like men, hoping to kill him:

... front to front
Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and
myself;
Within my sword's length set him; if he 'scape,
Heaven forgive him
too!

Malcolm says to Macduff that his vow of vengeance
"goes manly," affirming that masculinity means avenging one's family.

defines masculinity in terms of physical appearance, very confused early on in the
play over the strange appearance of the three witches. He says to them:

you should be women
And yet your beards forbid me to
interpret
That you are so.

In other words, he
can't think of them as women because they have the beards usually associated with men.

In Act 3, scene 3, as he realizes he is being murdered, Banquo displays his masculinity
as he protects his son. He urgently tellsto flee. More importantly, as Macduff will later do,
Banquo defines masculinity as the ability to take revenge, telling Fleance that he should
"fly" so that he can return and avenge his father's death:

Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!
Thou mayst
revenge.

What does Thoreau mean by: "Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed in them." -Walden: Economy, 1854

Thoreau believed, and
said, that people do not own possessions, the possessions own them.  He means that when people
own things, they become so concerned about protecting and maintaining those things, that the
people no longer focus on what Thoreau perceived to be the more important aspects of
existence.   For example, a homeowner locks up his house to ward off theives and even go to the
expense of installing alarms or other devices.  This costs the homeowner more money.  The
homeowner may even worry about the possibility of a break-in, thus causing the owner to lose
sleep, or appetite, or simply lose the time to ponder on more pleasant thoughts or on thoughts
that might help mankind exist in a better world.  The financial and emotional distractions of
ownership pull a person away from what a person might be able to do without the burden of
ownership.  Thoreau suggested that the more a person has, the more the person works to keep and
protect what he has, rather than allowing the person to ponder on other matters.  This idea is
behind Thoreau's "Simplify, simplify."  He believed that if people only owned and used
what they needed to exist, rather than owning and using what they want to be more comfortable or
to be more highly placed in social perception, then people would be generally happier and there
would be far less crime and less animosity among people.

What are three examples of dramatic irony in "The Cask of Amontillado"?

Dramaticoccurs
when characters in a story are unaware of things known by the reader, thereby creating suspense
or humor. In the case of 's "," we know from the very first paragraph that Montresor,
the narrator, seeks vengeance for the unspecified "thousand injuries" inflicted upon
him by Fortunato. However, Fortunato remains blissfully oblivious to Montresor's malice until
the end of the tale, meaning that many of the two characters' statements take on different
meanings when viewed from the perspective of Fortunato or from the perspective of readers. Here
are three examples:

When Montresor first brings up the cask, he tells
Fortunato, "My friend, no; I will not impose upon your good nature." Fortunato accepts
this compliment blindly, but readers know that Montresor is lying through his teeth.

Shortly thereafter, the two have this conversation:

"Enough," he said; "the cough's a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I
shall not die of a cough."

"Truetrue," I replied . .
.

Here, Montresor's agreement that the cough won't be
fatal sounds to Fortunato like simple acknowledgement. Yet readers understand that Montresor
knows the cough won't kill Fortunato, because Montresor plans to
kill Fortunato long before the disease has time to turn deadly!

A third example occurs when Montresor describes his coat of arms, "A huge human
foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the
heel." Fortunato takes the statement at face-value as a factual description of the
Montresor family crest. But readers know that Montresor believes that he represents the foot
stomping upon the snake that is Fortunato, an inference supported by a Latin motto that
translates to "no one attacks me with impunity." Moreover, in a second layer of irony,
readers know that Montresor is obsessed and murderous. In all likelihood, they see
Montresor, not Fortunato, as the treacherous serpent biting at the heel.

Laertes' Motivations Harold Bloom speculates that part of Laertes' motivations in keeping Ophelia from Hamlet is jealousy: of his position, his...

I absolutely
agree with Bloom on this subject for several different reasons. Laertes wants the favor and
attention of his own father. Polonius spends most of the play focusing his attention on Hamlet
and Ophelia and their budding love, which leaves Laertes out and you can almost feel his
disappointment as the plot unfolds and he makes his way on stage each time. In an effort to gain
attention and favor somewhere to combat his jealousy and equalize himself with Hamlet he goes to
his arch enemy, Claudius and tries to win him over. Then Polonius dies at the hands of Hamlet
and his sister Ophelia takes her own life and Laertes sees it all tied to Hamlet and his

What are adjectives to describe characters in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?

While we
are limited in space to discuss adjectives for each character, here
are a few ideas to get you started.

Two
adjectives to describe are irrational
and emotional. We especially see his irrational emotionalism in the very first
scene with respect to his response to being rejected by Rosaline. Romeo's father describes Romeo
as being seen each morning at dawn in the same part of town, crying under a grove of trees, as
we see in 's lines:

Many a morning hath he there been
seen,
ith tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew,
Adding to clouds more
clouds with his deep sighs. (I.i.127-29)

We can assume
that Romeo has been staying out all night to be in the same part of town where Rosaline lives
and that the trees offer a view of her house, possibly even her bedroom. As we can see, crying
all night long over Rosaline is certainly a very emotional
reaction; we can even call it somewhat irrational.
Evenshows his belief in the irrationality of Romeo's actions when he begs Romeo to listen to him
and to forget about Rosaline.

An adjective
describing Benvolio is sensible. In
fact, Benvolio is one of the most sensible, rational, practical
characters in the play. Not only do we see his good sense when he begs Romeo, "Be rul'd by
me: forget to think of her," we even see it earlier in this very first scene when Benvolio
tries to break up the fight between the servants (I.i.227). As one of the only sensible
characters, eager to create peace, Benvolio tries to separate the battling servants, saying,
"Part, fools! / Put up your swords. You know not what you do" (59-60).
However,misjudges Benvolio's actions, and believing Benvolio has started a fight with a bunch of
useless servants, challenges Benvolio, making the fight escalate into an all out street
brawl.

Who is Porter Wagoner, and what sort of influence did he have on the music scene?

Porter Wagoner
was one of the first showmen of Country Western music. His "hillbilly deluxe" suits
designed by Nubie Cohn set a trend for flashy dressing and showmanship followed by Elvis
Presley, Wagoner's protege Dolly Parton, and others. Wagoner was on the cutting edge of other
things, as well, such as the "concept album," in which the songs of such an album are
unified in a theme. Also, he was not afraid to reach across his genre of music and invite other
performers onto the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, of which he was the master of ceremonies.
However, he incurred the wrath of many when he brought "the godfather of Soul,"James
Brown onto its stage 1979 despite having Brown sing "Your Cheatin' Heart" and another
country song. Nevertheless, his action demonstrated his innovative personality as he went on to
invite other artists such as R&B Joe Simon because he felt that the show was the star, not
the individual performers, and there should be variety. In this way, he launched the careers of
many performers.

What is a moral lesson this poem might be said to teach? "Richard Cory" by Edward Arlington Robinson

The
previous post is quite strong.  I would only add that there could be a moral lesson about the
nature of wealth and the perception it creates.  We live in a world where material wealth and
monetary acquisition helps to define our consciousness and how individuals perceive one another
and themselves.  When reading this poem, I am reminded of a line from the film, Jerry
Maguire.  The female lead says, "First class- used to be a better meal, and now
it's a better life."  Indeed, the idea that those who are wealthy are happier is something
embedded in our social order.  Part of this might be the result of capitalism, where the
acquisition of wealth is similar to a runaway train where there is no end in sight.  There will
always be someone richer, more powerful, more endowed with the things that others envy.  The
conception ofas inherently better because of his wealth, his mannerisms, and his style is
something that can be taught as proving true that "appearances can be deceiving."  If
this is too cliched, perhaps another lesson is that all humans are trapped in their own state of
incomplete consciousnesses.  The speaker is trapped in his, bound by a lack of wealth and
poverty.  Richard Cory is bound in his, reason enough for him to put a bullet in his
head.

Jenny is making fruit baskets. She has 12 apples, 30 pears, and 42 oranges. Each basket has the same number of pieces of each type of fruit. What is...

We are given
that Jenny has 12 apples, 30 pears, and 42 oranges. If she is making fruit baskets, each of
which contain the same number of each fruit, what is the largest number of baskets that she can
make?

(Each basket must contain the same number of apples, but the number of
apples and pears can be different.)

To try to use a brute-force method, we
would have to be very organized, as there are three types of fruit. The efficient method is to
realize that we need the greatest common factor (also called the greatest common divisor) of 12,
30, and 42. This is due to the fact that the number of each type of fruit must be the same so
only factors of the amounts of fruit will work. We need a common factor as this will yield the
same number of baskets:

12: 2*2*3
30: 2*3*5
42:
2*3*7

To find the greatest common factor we take each factor that appears in
all three lists to the lowest power.

GCF(12,30,42)=2*3=6

Thus 6 is the number of baskets. Each basket will contain 2 apples, 5
pears, and 7 oranges.

Examples of similar problems
include:

1) If you're distributing 26 pens and 39 pencils to students, and
each student receives the same number of each, what is the maximum number of students? (Or you
could distribute 9 binders, 21 packs of paper and 51 dividers, etc.)

2) There
are 15 girls and 12 boys in a class. What is the greatest number of rows you can have if each
row has the same number of girls and and the same number of boys?

ranger in Utah. He specifies that he believes that "simple fact" provides truth and
"a kind of poetry," so Abbey's descriptions aren't literary descriptions
built from literary style to create a point, theme, ,
mood etc., they are descriptions of "simple fact" that have
literary merit and qualities. As a consequence, when Abbey writes "lavender clouds,"
he means clouds that are lavender--in fact.

This is not to say that Abbey's
creative mind hadn't seen below the surface and found metaphor and meaning and theme within the
experience of "simple fact" that he is telling, but it is to say that he intends for
his words--his descriptions, his experiences, his characterizations of people then around
him--to be taken as fact and truth and, moreover, as the poetry of fact and truth.

What risk was Dr. Rohmer taking in letting Mr. Fairbain be the master of ceremonies in The View From Saturday?

Mr. Homer
Fairbain is the deputy superintendant in charge of instruction in the school district, but for a
man with such a lofty position, he is not very learned. Mr. Fairbain had been the master of
ceremonies for the district playoffs of the Academic Bowl the previous year, and had made quite
a mess of things, showing his ignorance by his inability to read the questions correctly, and
embarrassing the school district in the process. This year, since the competing team is from the
sixth grade instead of the eighth grade as expected, it is anticipated that the audience for the
event will be larger than usual. By letting Mr. Fairbain be the master of ceremonies again, Dr.
Rohmer is taking a chance that the district will again be embarrassed by Mr. Fairbain's gaffes
in front of even more observers than last year.

Dr. Rohmer actually has
little choice but to let Mr. Fairbain do the job again, however, because it is "his one
chance to show the community that he (has) learned a thing or two." Mr. Fairbain is a
good-hearted, humble man, albeit inept, and he offers to consult some of the remedial reading
teachers on staff to help him read the questions correctly, but Dr. Rohmer reminds him that that
might not be appropriate, as he is technically their boss. In an attempt to avoid disaster, Dr.
Rohmer gives Mr. Fairbain a copy of the questions ahead of time, so he can practice and prepare
to read them without error. On the day of the event, Mr. Fairbain does quite well at first, but
then he mispronounces the name "Geronimo," and is corrected by Julian Singh. Mr.
Fairbain, good-natured as usual, admits his mistake, but then makes things worse by asking
Julian if he is an Indian himself; when Julian gives the qualified answer that he is "in
part what is called East Indian," Mr. Fairbain breaks an unspoken rule about not commenting
about a person's ethnicity in public by asking, "What is your tribe?" Mr. Fairbain
clearly does not understand the difference between East Indian and American Indian ethnicity,
and Dr. Rohmer is mortified. Mr. Fairbain, seeing Dr. Rohmer's look, mercifully ceases his
blundering repartee, and continues on with the contest (Chapter 7).

What are the basic differences between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire?

The most
basic answer to this question is that in the Republic, power was concentrated in a popularly
elected Senate while in the Empire power was concentrated in a singular leader known as an

What are the differences between Harappa and Mohenjodaro?

Harappa
shares its name with the civilization it was part of. Both cities were part of the Harappan
civilization.

Harappa was around much earlier and much longer. Evidence
points to it being founded around 3300 BCE and being in existence for about 2000 years.
Archaeologists name five periods of Harappa:

Ravi Aspect of the Hakra phase,
3300€“2800 BCE; Kot Dijian or Early Harappan phase, 2800€“2600 BCE; Harappan Phase, 2600€“1900
BCE; Transitional Phase 1900€“1800 BCE; and finally, Late Harappan Phase, 1800€“1300
BCE.

By contrast, Mojenjo Daro was built around 2600 BCE and was already
abandoned around 1900 BCE, lasting about 700 years. Archaeologists uncovered remains of it in
1919.

Harappa still has a modern day village less than a mile from the
archaeological site. It was a railway center under British colonial rule. Archaeologists began
uncovering the ruins earlier, in 1826.

What chore is Friar Laurence doing when Romeo arrives?

The friar's
chore is gardening whencomes to him in the early morning after meetingto ask the friar if he
will marry them.

As act 2, scene 3, opens, the stage direction reads
thatenters with a basket. He offers a , in which he says he has to get out in the early hours of
the morning, before the dew has dried, and before it gets too hot, to gather poisonous and
medicinal herbs. He says:

I must upfill this osier cage
of ours

With baleful weeds and precious-juic¨d flowers.

The "osier cage" he mentions
is the wicker basket he is holding. "Baleful weeds" are harmful or threatening weedsin
other words, poisonous weedsand precious juiced flowers are those that can be used for medicinal
or healing purposes. We don't know why he would pick harmful weeds, unless to get rid of them,
but his activity in the garden foreshadows the role poisons and potions will play later in the
story.

In Tennyson's "Ulysses," which words and lines indicate that life is much more than mere breathing?

Words
and lines from Tennyson's "" that reflect how life is much more than mere breathing
explain how a person's life has to be defined with purpose and meaning. 

 

In Tennyson's poem, Ulysses is faced with a defining choice.
He can either stay in Ithaca with his wife and serve his kingdom or go back out to the seas to
confront the challenges that await.  He finds himself poised between domestic predictability or
the uncertain future of what lies ahead.  One indication of the choice he is going to make is
when he says, "I will drink / Life to the lees." Ulysses sees life as only having
purpose when it is fully embraced.  He does not see this purpose as merely breathing.  Ulysses
lives his life with a "hungry heart." These reflect his views of life.  They reflect
passion and vitality, a duty to fight the elements until the very end and never relent. Ulysses
does not feel that life is about merely breathing, pathetically existing from one moment to
another. Rather, he feels that an individual must possess a zeal for living.  Ulysses believes
that people are active agents of their own destinies, authors of their own
narratives.

 

Ulysses speaks of the dangers in not
living life to its fullest capacity. He wonders "How dull it is to pause, to make an end, /
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!"  He considers it a waste of a life to merely
exist.  Rather, he feels that people must see life as "yearning in desire / To follow
knowledge like a sinking star."  Living life means understanding the world and one's place
in it.  There is no defined end to this pursuit, as Ulysses says it should continue "Beyond
the utmost bound of human thought." Ulysses does not believe that his journey has ended
simply because he has returned home. The journey of life never ends.  Rather, he feels that his
life, and all life, must be dedicated to the idea that "Some work of noble note, may yet to
be done." There will always be more adventures to experience, more horizons to explore,
more chapters to write in the book of one's life. Ulysses is not going to live in a banal way by
merely breathing and existing.  Rather, he is insistent that his "purpose holds / To sail
beyond the sunset, and the baths / Of all the western stars, until I die."  These words
make clear that Ulysses defines life as living the journey and facing whatever awaits him on
it.

 

In the poem's closing lines,
Ulysses affirms how life is more than breathing. These thoughts define what he sees as the
meaning to all existence:

We are not now
that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we
are, we are;

One equal temper of heroic hearts, 

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will 

To strive, to
seek, to find, and not to yield.

Ulysses will live
his life fighting all adversaries. This includes the effects of time and age, and anything else
that might dare to cross him.  Even though he might not succeed in all of these battles, he
promises "to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."  It affirms how life is much
more than simply existing.  It consists of the will to persevere through challenges, and to
zealously anticipate what comes next.  Ulysses does not know what the future holds.  However,
that is an integral part of what makes life worth living, making it much more than merely
breathing.]]>

Between 1880 and 1920, the population of the Congo was slashed in half: some ten million people were victims of murder, starvation, exhaustion,...

Americans have
increasingly come to know about the atrocities committed by Europeans, mainly Belgians, in the
Congo during this time period. However, the atrocities that were carried out in the Congo are
not as well known as they should be for several reasons.

Americans have a
tendency to focus more on the history and events in their own country and in Europe. They know
little about Africa, its different people, or its history. They tend to be unable to distinguish
between the histories of different African countries and tend to falsely assume that the African
countries are similar when, in fact, they are quite different. Americans may also tend to pay
more attention to the suffering of people in their own nation and in Europe. They tend to not
focus on the suffering of people in other parts of the world, particularly in the developing
word.

In addition, Americans tend to make the assumption that Africa has
caused its own suffering by not modernizing. The reality is that imperialism,...

Why was Daniel's father crucified in "The Bronze Bow"?

Daniel's
father was the overseer of the vineyards.  He had a brother, "younger than he was, and they
were very close".  When this brother, Daniel's uncle, had his first son, he did "a
very foolish thing...it was almost time for the taxes, (but) he took part of the money he had
saved and bought his wife a present...he planned to find extra work and make up the
money".  Unfortunately, the tax collector came early that year, because the Romans needed
the money to build a new section of road. Too ashamed to ask his brother for help, Daniel's
uncle tried to argue with the tax collector, but the soliders came to arrest him.  When he
heard, Daniel's father raised the money for the tax, but Daniel's uncle "had lost his head
and tried to fight his way out" of prison, and was sentenced to serve time at hard labor in
the quarries to work off his debt.

Daniel's uncle's wife was "almost out
of her mind" with grief and desperation, and, at her behest, Daniel's father, "a
peaceful man", armed himself and tried to force his brother's release by attacking the
convoy which was transporting the prisoner to the city, but he was captured.  The Romans
"wanted to make an example for the village", and, in a grisly act of
retaliation, crucified Daniel's uncle, father, and all the others involved, six in all (Chapter
7).

Why does Jamaica Kincaid repeat ideas in "Girl"?

The
steam-of-consciousness narrative method thatuses in is meant to represent the ongoing
presentation of ideas that the unnamed speaker offers to the girl; the reader assumes that the
two characters are mother and daughter respectively. The author may be indicating that the
action is occurring in real time, with the daughter hearing but not really listening to her
mothers advice. It is equally likely however, that the narrative constitutes the girls memory of
the advice her mother gave her. In either case, the ideas that are spoken the most frequently
are the ones that the mother emphasized. Perhaps the daughter follows, or followed, her advice;
perhaps she recalls important advice that she failed to follow, and she now misses the words she
once took for granted.

In The Scarlet Letter, what is the significance of Pearl's name?

In
by ,is the daughter of  and a product of Hester's adulterous relationship
with a minister, the Reverend . Hester Prynne was married to , and thought herself a widow at
the time of the adulterous relationship. While Hester is jailed and pilloried for adultery, she
is determined to keep Pearl and create a life with her. 

The name Pearl is
derived from the Bible, specifically Matthew 13:45-46, which is acomparing the kingdom of Heaven
to a merchant:

...  who, when he had found one pearl of
great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

This suggests that Hester will sacrifice everything for Pearl, who is the most
important thing in her life. It implies that for Hester, Pearl is more important than worldly
goods or reputation. In the comparison of Pearl to Heaven, it emphasizes a model of Christianity
in which a mother's love for her child is a form of Christian piety, and that the sin of
adultery counts for less in the eyes of God than Hester's devotion to
Pearl.

In the concluding lines of the poem, what qualities does Ulysses say that he shares with his mariners?

The
original question had to be edited. The concluding lines of the poem reflect howshares the
spirit of adventure with his mariners.  Ulysses' closing lines speaks to this condition.  It is
a condition in which Ulysses has spoken of what might be discovered. Such explorations could
reveal touching "the Happy Isles" or "see the great Achilles."  Ulysses
speaks of sharing this condition with his mariners.  It is the condition of exploration and
embrace of adventure without knowing the consequences.  

The closing lines of
the poem speak to a point in time where Ulysses and his mariners are old, approaching a point in
their lives where they are closer to the end than the beginning.  Yet, this should not deter
them from their expressed purpose of being:

We are not now
that strength which in old days/Moved heaven and earth; that which we are, we are;/One equal
temper of heroic hearts,/Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will/To strive, to seek, to
find, and not to yield.

This is the condition that
Ulysses shares with his mariners.  It is one in which time has challenged them and fate has take
some of their initial youth.  Yet, it is a being in which "heroic hearts" must prevail
and for this reason, Ulysses and his men must engage on this quest, perhaps a final one, in
which the drive "to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" is all there
is.

what is the impact that drugs and alcohol have on decision making? How can bad things happen to good people when these substances are abused?

Decision-making can be negatively impacted by
drugs and alcohol.One of the problems with addiction is that it builds over time.A person
addicted to drugs or alcohol can have a steady employment or be a productive member of society,
leading to them believing that he or she may not have a problem or that it's "not that
bad."In reality, millions of Americans are dependent on alcohol or drugs to make it through
the day.A "good" person can easily get addicted to drugs or alcohol over time by
becoming dependent on them.Some common situations are through pain-killers after an accident or
surgery; some may overuse the pain-killers, or do not need to take as many as are prescribed,
and as a result, get addicted to using pain-killers to make it through the day.

One way drugs and alcohol impact decision-making is through denial.People with
addictions believe they are drinking a normal amount or taking a normal amount of pills to get
through the day and are in denial about their addiction level.

Studies, like
"Emotion, Decision-Making and Substance Dependence: A Somatic-Marker Model of
Addiction" by Verdejo-Garcia et. al., show that substance dependence
creates an impairment in decision-making that is similar to brain lesions.In his research,
Verdejo-Garcia noticed that those who are dependent on substances, like alcohol or drugs, will
take an immediate reward despite severe negative future consequences; like eating an entire bag
of Halloween candy knowing you will feel sick afterwards, or taking drugs or drinking to excess
despite knowing the medical impact.His study shows that decision-making depends on brain
functions that regulate homeostasis and emotions, and dependency on drugs or alcohol impair
these functions and lead to poor decision-making.Therefore, addiction creates situations where
the individual is not able to make good decisions concerning their addictions.The article is
linked below for further exploration.

The part of the brain that is
responsible for spur-of-the-moment-decision-making is the orbitofrontal cortex, the part that is
impacted by substance abuse.Researcher Joshua Jones, who studies the impact of the orbitofrontal
cortex on decision-making, found that

"drug addiction
is marked by severe deficits in judgment and bad decision-making on the part of the addict.We
believe that drugs, particularly cocaine, affect the orbitofrontal cortex. They coerce the
system and hijack decision-making."

Drugs and
alcohol, therefore, impact an individual's ability to make good decisions when it comes to
immediate responses to the system.This, coupled with denial about addiction, as well as the ease
and availability of drugs and alcohol, mean that more and more Americans are at risk of becoming
addicted.

In your own words, describe George's and Lennie's plans for the future?

I would
suggest that the plans thatandhave are to find something permanent and lasting in a world that
is mutable and temporal.  The dream that George and Lennie have of owning a small farm in which
George could be his own boss and Lennie could tend the rabbits becomes their driving force.  In
a condition where the "bindle stiff" migrant worker moves from place to place,
collecting their "bit" and then going to the next setting, George and Lennie wish to
do something else.  Their dream is one that features roots.  While their state of being is a
rootless existence because they go to where the work is, their dreams reflect a hopeful opposite
of such a condition.  

The material reality in which they experience so much
brutality and hardship does not limit their ability to envision a world that is fundamentally
different and better from where they are.  Their dream is a reflection of this condition.  It is
one in which roots, optimism, and autonomy are evident, precisely constructed because these
elements are not present in the life they are living.  Essentially, I would describe George's
and Lennie's dream in as an example of what life can and should be as
opposed to how life is.

What narrative techniques are used in Robinson Crusoe?

The narrative
techniques included used ininclude those of realistic , autobiography, and spiritual
autobiography. Crusoe narrates the events of the novel from his own point of view, and he
includes not only his own biographical details but also his inner emotions. For example, at the
beginning of the novel, he says of his origins: "Being the third son of the family and not
bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling thoughts." The
reader has access to the biographical details about Crusoe's family and has insight into
Crusoe's reaction to his family. For example, when his father urges him, even to the point of
tears, to settle down to a predictable and safe career such as law, Crusoe says,

I was sincerely affected with this discourse, and,
indeed, who could be otherwise? and I resolved not to think of going abroad any more, but to
settle at home according to my fathers desire.

Crusoe
wants to follow his father's advice, but to his own...

At what point after which is the failure of the revolution inevitable?

One
could argue that the moment when the Revolution's failure becomes inevitable takes place in
chapter five whenchasesoff the farm and usurps power. In chapter five, Napoleon interrupts the
debates concerning the windmill by calling his nine ferocious dogs from the loft to attack
Snowball, who is quickly chased off the farm. Once Snowball is off the farm, Napoleon takes the
podium and announces that there will no longer be any more Sunday meetings. Napoleon goes on to
say that all policy decisions will be made by a committee of pigs and utilizesto spread
propaganda. By usurping power, Napoleon abandons the democratic process, assumes absolute
authority, and creates an aristocracy of pigs. At this moment, the audience realizes that the
Revolution is a failure and that Napoleon will rule the farm as a tyrant. As the novel
progresses, Napoleon continues to oppress the other animals and behaves like Mr.
Jones.

How do you determine the number of neutrons in an atom from the mass number?

The mass number of
an atom is the sum of protons and neutrons. The number of protons is an atom's atomic number and
doesn't vary for a particular element. The number of neutrons can vary. When atoms with
different numbers of neutrons exist for an element, they're called isotopes. To find the number
of neutrons in an atom of a particular isotope you subtract the atom's atomic number from its
mass number.  

Here's an example using lead, with has four stable isotopes
and an atomic number of 82:

The notation "lead-204" means the
isotope of lead that has a mass number of 204. Since lead has 82 protons, the number of neutrons
in an atom of lead-204 is 204-82=122. Similarly, lead-206 has 124 neutrons, lead-207 has 125
neutrons and lead-208 has 126 neutrons. 

Comment fully on the following passage from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Manby James Joyce: "Then he wondered at the vagueness of his wonder,...

This
passage is extremely important to the book as a whole. It occurs in chapter 4, when Stephen has
been mulling over what path to take in life. Among other things, he has been contemplating
taking holy orders and becoming a priest. This might seem like a natural course for a young man
to take in early twentieth-century Ireland, a country long under the sway of Roman Catholicism.
However, at this juncture, Stephen realizes starkly that the strict religious life is most
emphatically not for him.

Passing a Jesuit house in the street, just prior
to the start of the passage quoted, Stephen first of all wonders which room in the building he
would occupy after joining the Order. But he wonders this only €˜vaguely, which is what prompts
him to wonder €˜at the vagueness of his wonder. Thus begins his critical self-examination as to
what he really wants from life....

How does a lesson the Alchemist taught Santiago save his life?

Early in the
novel , the titular character tells Santiago that "When you possess
great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed." This
simple statement saves Santiago's life, because toward the end of the novel he finally realizes
the importance of having faith in destiny, instead of cursing it.

Santiago, a
shepherd boy, curses his lot in life. He wanted to be rich. He learns that destiny has a plan
for everyone and that he should have faith and embrace his destiny. Even though he ends up
gaining money by the end of the novel, he realizes that what makes him rich is not the money,
but instead the journey and the adventure that he took. Once he realizes the meaning of the
alchemist's words, he is saved. His life is saved from a lifetime of
disappointment.

How does our society's majority's conception of God compare with beliefs about supernatural beings in other religious systems?

The
majority of people in the United States identify as Christian, with a minority of Americans
identifying as Jewish or Muslim. Together, these three connected belief systems account for much
of how faith is understood in this country. (That is not to say we don't have many other faiths,
such as Hinduism and Native American religions practiced in this country, but that these three
connected belief systems, and overwhelmingly Christianity, together comprise the majority faith
system).

Worldwide, after Christianity and Islam, the other major religious
systems are Hinduism and Buddhism, along with Chinese traditional religions, such as Taoism, and
primal religions.

If we compare the "religions of the book,"
(Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) with religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, we can perceive
some striking differences. First, religions of the book understand time as linear and
teleological. This means that history is progressing (and progressing is a
key word: things will get...

Why does Lyddie not sign the petition?

The petition
that you are referencing is one circulated by the Female Labor Reform Association that aims to
reduce the factory work days from thirteen hour shifts to ten hours. Chapter Twelve of the book
examines , Amelia, and Betsy's differing opinions on whether or not to sign the
petition.

Lyddie is against signing the petition because she fears that she
will be paid less if she works fewer hours; she wants to work as many hours as possible in order
to afford to pay off her family's debts and reunite them back on the farm.

Signing the petition would also be a formal sign of affiliation with the workers.
Lyddie is scared that she may lose her job if this information is made publicly
known. 

In other words, Lyddie prefers the devil she does know to the devil
she doesn't; it is, at this point, safer and more comfortable for her to not sign and to stick
to her current work schedule

What would be considered as the most important reform of the Progressive movement and why? I have to choose from: 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th...

This is, of
course, a matter of opinion.  My own view is that, of the reforms listed here, the 19th

Most of the reforms
that you mention here had the effect of changing relatively minor things about government.  The

Compare the economic systems in Japan, China and India

All three
countries could be accurately described as "mixed economies", but that's kind of a
cop-out because it applies to almost everyone. Even countries with extreme levels of
privatization (such as the US) still have a strong government; even countries with extreme
levels of nationalization (such as Cuba) usually still have private businesses. There are some
very important differences between China, India, and Japan.

All three of
these Asian countries have very large populations and very large economies.


Japan has the smallest population, but still by no means small: China has a
population of 1.375 billion, India a population of 1.272 billion, and Japan a population of 127
million.

India has the smallest GDP, but again still quite large: The nominal
GDP of China is $13.95 trillion, the nominal GDP of Japan is $4.21 trillion and the nominal GDP
of India is $2.40 trillion.

The first thing you should be able to see from
this comparison is that in per-capita terms, Japan is by far the...

What are some character traits of Mark Antony in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?

In s
, Mark Antony is a confident and loyal friend of Caesars, who upon Caesars
death forms an alliance with Octavius and Lepidus against Cassius and Brutus. Antony is
extremely obedient to Caesar and his closest companion. When Cassius and Brutus are discussing
the murder of Caesar, Cassius advocates to also murder Antony, stating, Yet I fear him.  / For
in the engrafted love he bears to Caesar (II. i. 190-91). Here, Cassius is afraid of what Antony
might do because Antony has a deep-rooted love for Caesar. Further, when Antony learns of
Caesars death, he goes to the body and talks cordially with Brutus and Cassius about the reasons
Caesar had to die. On the surface he agrees with the two men and pledges allegiance to them;
however, upon their exit, Antony engages in athat reveals he is still loyal to the late
Caesar:

O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of
earth,

That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!

Thou
art the ruins of the noblest man

That ever liv¨d in the tide of
times.

Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!

Over
thy wounds now do I prophesy

Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby
lips

To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue

A curse
shall light upon the limbs of men. (III. i. 269-277)

Here, Antony contradicts the allegiances he has pledged to Brutus and Cassius, and
instead vows vengeance on the hand that shed this costly blood! This demonstrates his profound
loyalty as a character.

Another trait of Mark Antony is that he is a
pleasure-seeker. In Act 1, Scene 2, when Caesar and Antony are discussing the motives and
demeanor of Cassius, Caesar states in an aside to Antony, He loves no plays,  / As thou dost,
Antony.  \ He hears no music. (I. ii. 204-05). The juxtaposition reveals that Antony enjoys
music and plays. Further, when Cassius expresses concern over Antonys loyalty and love for
Caesar in Act II, Brutus responds with he is given / to sports, to wilderness and much company
(II. i. 195-96). This description reveals that Antony enjoys recreational activities and the
company of women, suggesting he is a known pleasure-seeker.

Finally, Mark
Antony is extremely cunning and astute with excellent rhetorical skills. In Act 3, Scene 1, he
manipulates Brutus into letting him speak at Caesars funeral, and then uses the funeral platform
to undermine Brutus monopoly on the situation. He questions Brutus claims and plays on the
crowds fears and curiosities:

Did this in Caesar seem
ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Yet Brutus says he was
ambitious,

And Brutus is an honorable man.

You all did see
that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he
was ambitious,

And, sure, he is an honorable man.

I speak
not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.
(III. ii. 89-100)

The above is an excerpt from Antonys
speech and it illuminates how Antony uses excellent rhetorical skills to undermine the authority
of Brutus. In this speech, Antony provides examples of Caesars behavior, such as his refusal of
the kingly crown three times, insinuating he was not ambitious as Brutus has said. Yet Antony
repeatedly and sarcastically says And Brutus is an honorable man to actually challenge Brutus
as a leader.

Therefore, the traits of Mark Antony include loyalty and
obedience, pleasure-seeking and sensuality, and shrewd wit and rhetorical
skills.

What is a Table D Hote Menu and give an example Homework Help

"Table d
hote" is a French title for one approach to the process of designing menus for a
restaurant. The phrase literally translates to mean href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_d'h%C3%B4te" title="Table d
hote">"host's table" and refers to the practice of providing a
limited number of standardized meals. Guests coming to a restaurant for a table d hote meal will
be served whatever the restaurant has already determined will be the entree and other courses
for that meal. They will probably not be able to order substitutions for any of the items on the
menu for the meal.

For the restaurant, the table d hote philosophy of service
simplifies food preparation by reducing the number of dishes that need to be prepared at one
time. Because the food to be served is predetermined, table settings with the appropriate
cutlery can be set ahead of time. Because there are no substitutions to the meal, the pricing is
also established ahead of time and can frequently give the guest a good meal for a very
reasonable price.

Is "Death of a Salesman" a tragedy?

It
depends how you define .

According to Aristotle's famous definition of
tragedy, no. Miller's play does not depict the fall of a "great man" in the
traditional sense (Willy Loman is neither king nor nobleman, nor has he really achieved
anything) nor does the action take place within classical unities (that is, the action jumps
forward in time, and place). Don't be drawn into "tragic flaws" - they are a
misreading of Aristotle's text.

Miller himself, on the other hand, in his
essays on "Modern Tragedy" and "Tragedy and the Common Man" argues that
tragedy *can* and *should* deal with...

What quotes from The Odyssey illustrate how Odysseus is a hero?

What makes
someone heroic? There are a few definitions of hero, so I will pull quotes that help provide an
excellent idea of how Odysseus fits the concept. Odysseus is clearly the hero of the story,
though he has flaws like all Greek heroes. He fits the ancient Greek definition of a hero, and
his story follows the heros journey framework set out in The Hero with a Thousand
Faces.

Ancient Greek Definition

The ancient Greeks had a clear definition of Hero. They should be high-born, a warrior,
loyal, and favored by the gods. Nearly all Greek heroes suffer from a flaw. Odysseus is a hero
by that definition.

Odysseus is high-born, meaning he is a man of high
station or class. Nearly every Greek hero is a demigod, prince, or king. Although he is not the
son of a god, Odysseus is the great-grandson of the god Hermes. He is also the king of Ithaca.
The island is not doing well in his absence, proving how important he is as a ruler. At the
final confrontation, Odysseuss status as king becomes...

What are some social issues presented in The Lovely Bones? Is grief an example of a social issue? If yes, how so?

Great question!
There are a number of social issues in just about every book out there. Some social issues
include bullying, obesity, divorce, moving, unemployment, death and yes, grief. A social issue
is essentially anything that negatively affects a person's life. 

In  all of
the members of Susie's family, including Susie herself experience grief. Susie feels grief over
her death as well as Mr. Harvey's freedom. Susie's father also experiences grief in many parts
of the book including when he smashes all of the ships in the bottles. His sadness is so great
that he destroyed the objects that reminded him of his daughter, but then he feels grief after
he has ruined them. Susies father also "had not been outside the house except to drive back
and forth to work or sit out in the backyard, for months, not had he seen his neighbors."
(P. 209) He is so distraught over the death of his daughter he is unable to carry on socially
 

Lindsey, Susie's sister, also experiences grief but does so more quietly
than her father. Susie "avoided mirrors. She now took showers in the dark...She would be
safe in the dark." (P.59) Susie not only feels grief over the loss of her sister and the
loss of her family, but also over the loss of her freedom. Susie's death has greatly impacted
the way her parents will treat Lindsey.

What lessons does Santiago learn by working for the crystal merchant? i need 4 things he learned

1. The power of
   action. It's not enough to have dreams; you have to be prepared to take action to
   make those dreams come true. The Crystal Merchant is a Muslim and yet has never been on the Haj
   to Mecca. Yet, Santiago sold his sheep and quit his job as a shepherd to follow his Personal
   Legend.
2. Change is both inevitable and
   desirable. Once again, the Crystal Merchant provides an example of what Santiago
   is reacting against. The Merchant is stuck in his ways, terminally resistant to change. He
   doesn't seem to understand why his business is failing. Santiago suggests they build an outdoor
   display to attract more customers. The Merchant eventually relents and Santiago's idea pays
   off.
3. You must live in the present. The
   present moment is the only field of possibility: the past is over, and the future has yet to
   happen. That's the trouble with the Merchanthe doesn't embrace the present and instead allows
   himself to be defined by his past and a desired future that he has no intention of fulfilling.
   He wants to have something to look forward to in life. Ironically, this attitude guarantees that
   he will never have anything real to look forward to.
4. We have
   nothing to fear but fear itself. Fear holds us back and stops us from taking
   risks. The Merchant won't go to Mecca, nor will he do anything to improve business unless
   prompted by Santiago. But in order to achieve our Personal Legend it is necessary to realize
   that the fear of suffering is always worse than the suffering itself.

In the poem Ulysses, how does the title character react to old age and death?

, as portrayed
in the poem of the same name by , is an aging king, a man who has accomplished everything in his
life that can be accomplished. He has seen kingdoms rise and fall, has created and taken life,
and has become a legendary figure in the myths of his people. After all of his adventures, he
has returned home to become the beloved king of his people, and yet even in his old age he feels
the stirrings of travel and adventure. He cannot rest, he cannot sleep, because he needs to
continue his life, not retire to a slow death as a ruler. His life now will consume him in ways
he never intended, and he wants to change his life, to move beyond the accepted virtues of age
and become an individual again through his own efforts:

We
are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we
are, we are--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by
time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to
find, and not to yield.
(Alfred, Lord Tennyson,
Ulysses, eecs.harvard.edu)

This
yearning for new experiences and new trials is important to Ulysses, since he has defined his
entire life around that exact philosophy. To finish his life in quiet contemplation is alien and
discomforting; he cannot abide the silence of royal court when compared with the thrills of war
and exploration. In defiance of time, Ulysses will venture forth beyond the usual limits of his
age and if he dies on this new journey, it is in the pursuit of his own goals, not those of
society. Ulysses will not conform or lie down to die, but will seek his destiny, whatever it may
be, on his own terms and from his own personal abilities.

In what ways is Oceania in 1984 a totalitarian state? What are 3€“5 examples?

In's
dystopian nation, the citizens have no individual rights or human agency to behave, think, or
live the way they want. The totalitarian regime demands complete uniformity, and any deviation
from the norm is considered a threat to the State and severely punished. In order to ensure
uniformity and identify political dissidents, the population of Oceania is under constant
surveillance. The prevalence of telescreens and the presence of the Thought Police are used to
control and strike fear into the citizens. In addition to the continual surveillance, the
totalitarian regime also cultivates a hysterical,...

Throughout his sermon, Jonathan Edwards discusses peoples relationship with God. How does Edwards change or refine the idea of God and peoples...

The majority
of Edwards's sermon details the depth of God's disgust with sinners. The eternal repercussions
of God's wrath are made exquisitely clear: 

"'Tis
everlasting Wrath. It would be dreadful to suffer this Fierceness and Wrath of Almighty God one
Moment; but you must suffer it to all Eternity: there will be no End to this exquisite horrible
Misery..."

Moreover, Edwards uses compellingto
describe the tortuous nature of eternal damnation:

"Damnation dont slumber, the Pit is prepared, the Fire is made ready, the Furnace
is now hot, ready to receive them, the Flames do now rage and glow"

Edwards disabuses the congregation's notion that they will somehow
sidestep damnation through the strengths that they assume they have:

"Natural Mens Prudence and Care to preserve their own Lives, or
the Care of others to preserve them, dont secure €˜em a Moment."

But because the purpose of the sermon was to reinvigorate religious
commitment and bring people back to the church, Edwards had to do more than browbeat and
demoralize the people who gathered to hear him preach that day.  Toward the end of the sermon,
Edwards changes his tone and alters his message.  He describes the joy and feasting the
"elect" are able to enjoy and contrasts it with the "pining and perishing"
of those who will be left behind.  He offers the hope of salvation to those who are willing to
act quickly to secure it:

"And now you have an
extraordinary Opportunity, a Day wherein Christ has flung the Door of Mercy wide
open."

In 1984, why do all three superpowers forbid their citizens from associating with foreigners?

In
Goldstein's book,reads about the goals and functions of the world's three superstates, which
share similar ideologies and are engaged in continuous warfare. Winston reads that the primary
goal of modern warfare is to consume and destroy resources and products, which would otherwise
be used to improve the standard of living in each nation. The authoritarian regimes have no
desire to obtain land or resources from their enemies and simply engage in warfare to cultivate
a hystericalthroughout their society while using up valuable resources without compromising
their industrial capabilities. Essentially, the wars are aused to manipulate, scare, and
economically oppress the population. Winston then reads why citizens in each superstate are
prohibited from being in contact with foreigners.

What does the novel say about science?

is an
amazing scientist.  Like many scientists (or at least like the stereotypical idea of the mad
scientist), Victor becomes engulfed and obsessed with his goals...so much so that he loses the
vision and contact with his loved ones.  He even risks his life by allowing his health to
falter.

Shelley is telling readers that science and advancements in this
field are valuable, however, everything in moderation.  To obsess about something to the point
that the connection with nature (God) is lost, one's health is neglected, and...

How did some states try to prevent African Americans from voting?

There were
several methods used by the southern states to keep African Americans from voting. One method
that was used was the poll tax. The poll tax required a person to pay a fee in order to vote.
Since many African Americans were poor, they could not afford to pay the tax. As a result, they
did not vote.

Another method that was used was the literacy test. The
literacy test required a person to read and explain a part of the Constitution. Since many
African Americans had limited education, many African Americans could not pass the test in order
to vote.

The grandfather clause was used to exempt poor, uneducated white
southerners from these requirements. If a persons father or grandfather had voted before the
Civil War, a person was exempted from these requirements. Most African American males were not
voting before the Civil War.

Some states developed something which was called
"the white primary." This was a way to get around the 15th Amendment. Laws were passed
that declared the political parties to be private organizations. African Americans were excluded
from joining these private political parties. This prevented those African Americans who could
vote from having much of a say in the candidates who were selected for the political
parties.

White southerners often intimidated African Africans into not
voting. African Americans were threatened with losing their jobs or having harm done to their
family if they voted. These forms of intimidation helped to keep African Americans from
voting.

There were many methods used to keep African Americans from
voting.

In Shirley Jackson's short story "Charles," why did Laurie create an imaginary boy named Charles ?

Young
Laurie begins school, in 's "," and immediately comes home to regale the family with
daily reports about Charles. Charles seems like a total monster, and it raises questions about
the creation of Laurie's "Charles." Through all of the terrible behaviors that Charles
exhibits, the biggest surprise, of course, is that Laurie
is Charles.

One
interpretation is that Laurie suffers from dissociative personality disorder. This is another
way of saying that he has a split personalityin other words, that two separate personalities
exist in his body. There is not enough evidence to support this theory with any
certainty.

Personally, I believe that Laurie, as Charles, is spreading his
young wings to see what he can get away with. We can infer that he does not behave at home the
way he does at school, or Laurie's parents would immediately be suspicious of similarities
between Laurie and Charlie. 

At dinner one night, Laurie plays an old game
with his father. Telling his dad to look up, then down and finally at his thumb, Laurie
announces, "Gee, you're dumb." Then Laurie...

...began to laugh insanely.

This behavior must
not be new in that his mother does not stop or scold him, but moves on. Had she been concerned,
we could guess that she was seeing something unrecognizable and unpleasant in her son. If it has
happened before, his mother is not going to address his behavior, for the text says that she
moves quickly to ask her son a question. One might wonder if going to kindergarten has caused
Laurie to act out. His mom speaks to her husband about her concerns:

Do you think kindergarten is too unsettling for Laurie? All this
toughness and bad grammar, and this Charles boy sounds like such a bad influence.

Her husband tells her not to worry, but one would have good reason
to suspect that these new behaviors are the result of difficulty of
entering school and being separated from his home and mother.

At the same
time, Laurie may simply be unburdening himself anonymously to his mother and father. In this way
he speaks of what Charles has done, but does not experience any reprimand for his
actions.

More than suffering from any kind of psychological impairment, I
believe that Charles is almost literally sowing his wild oats at school and unburdening his
behaviors onto the fictional Charles. In this way Laurie is able to laugh about these things
with his parents and study their reactions. To me, Laurie appears to be a very intelligent child
who amuses himself as his teacher's and classmates' expense.  Laurie seems to enjoy acting out
as "Charles," perhaps manifesting these behaviors to draw attention to himself. For at
home, he is the center of attention.

A hallmark of Jackson's work is to leave
the reader surprised and unsettled. She usually addresses serious issues. Her work certainly
raises a multitude of questions. While Laurie may be an artful liar, I do not think he has a
personality disorder. More likely, he is a child that needs to be kept busy and fully occupied
at all times.

Are there any similarities between the protagonists of "Hills Like White Elephants" and "Cathedral"? I was thinking about something along the lines...

These are two excellent
short stories, though arguably there are different and perhaps more pertinent ways to compare
them. Examining the protagonists through the theme of choice seems to highlight differences
rather than similarities. In " ," for example, it becomes clearer and clearer that Jig
is not really given a choice by her partner. The way that he keeps on refering to the abortion,
bringing it up again and again, even after she asks him to stop it, indicates very clearly that
he wants her to have an abortion and that he will leave her if she does not. Note...

Write Emerson's ideas about "THE POET'S" nature and functions? Emerson-- THE POET

Concerning
Emerson's views on the poet's nature and function, I can give you only a limited answer, but
since no one else has answered yet, I'll give you what I can.

Looking at two
specific poems, insight into Emerson's views can be inferred.

First, in
"Ulysses," the subject of the poem is conveyed as a kind of artist.  And Ulysses, the
adventurer/artist, must perform his art.  He cannot be happy as a king/administrator.  His lot
in life is to travel, to be on the ocean, to perform his art.  Happiness, for Ulysses, cannot be
found in Ithaca.

In Emerson's "The Lady of Shallot," the artist, it
seems, must not completely separate herself from reality.  The Lady, cursed to never look upon
reality, but only to interpret reality through a mirror, dies when she does so.  She is not
allowed to look upon the actual Camelot.  Why?  Possibly because Camelot as she knows it does
not exist.  She knows Camelot only through a mirror and through her art.  Tennyson seems to be
suggesting that an artist should be careful of separating him or herself too much from reality. 
If one is to reflect reality, one must know and be a part of it. 

Again,
limited as my answer is, in these two poems Tennyson suggests that an artist cannot be separated
from his or her art, but at the same time must be in touch with and be a part of
reality.
