How does Newton's law of universal gravitation apply to Earth and the moon?

Newton's law
of universal gravitation states that any two bodies with a mass are attracted towards each other
by a force directly proportional to the product of their mass and inversely proportional to the
distance between them. For the Earth and the Moon, if the mass of the Earth is Me and the mass
of the moon is Mm, the force of attraction between them is given by F = G*Me*Mm/R^2 where R is
the distance between them. G is a constant and is equal to 6.67—10^-11 N m^2*kg^-2.

It is this force between the two due to gravity that makes the moon revolve around the
Earth. It provides the centripetal force that makes the Moon move in a circular path. The
gravitational force is also responsible for effects like the tides that occur on the
Earth.

"""Because horror on earth is real and it is every day. It is like a flower or like a sun; it cannot be contained"(186). Is this a metaphor or a simile?""

It is actually
two similes because it first compares horror on earth to a flower and then it compares it to a
sun.  They are both similes because each use the word like.  Sebold is
purposely using two positive and common images to compare to horror.

What are the literary devices used in "Richard Cory"?

A few of the word
choices Robinson makes in the first stanza work, metaphorically, to compareto a king. The
speaker says that Cory is a "gentleman from sole to crown" (line 3) and that he is
"imperially slim" (4). Although the word crown can refer to the
top of the head, which makes sense in this context, it can also refer to the object a king wears
on his head. This might not be significant on its own, but when we see the word
imperially on the next linea word that refers to an attitude that befits or
is suggestive of an emperorthe choice of crown , with its two meanings,
seems intentional. (The speaker even calls Cory "richer than a king" in line 9.)
Connecting these word choices, we gather that Richard Cory is being compared to someone of royal
status, in the first stanza,...

How does she explain where she is going to the hunter? How do we know how much old Phoenix loves her grandson?

In the
story, Phoenix Jackson meets a young white hunter on her way to town. When the hunter asks
Phoenix where she is going, she tells him that she is going to town. Upon hearing her answer,
the hunter exclaims that the way to town is too far for an old woman like her. He then advises
her to head for home.

For her part, Phoenix doesn't reveal exactly why she is
going to town. She merely satisfies his curiosity with a general answer: "The time come
around." From her answer, the hunter speculates that she is going to town to see Santa
Claus. He assumes that she must be like other "old colored people" who make the
journey to town for this purpose. Essentially, Phoenix Jackson provides no concrete details
about her reason for going to town. She merely explains that she goes to town because she
must.

We know how much Phoenix Jackson loves her grandson by her willingness
to endure a long, arduous journey for his sake. Additionally, old Phoenix makes the journey
regularly. During each trip, she must brave varied dangers. Her exchange with the white hunter
reveals the low status of African Americans in her society.

When the hunter
points his gun at Phoenix and asks her whether she is afraid of it, she remains calm; her reply
is a simple "No, sir, I seen plenty go off closer by, in my day, and for less than what I
done." Phoenix knows that her safety is not promised in such a society; yet, she makes the
journey because she loves her grandson.

Name three characters and discuss why they are blind to the truth in The Crucible.

Reverend Parris is certainly blind to the truth at various points in Miller's
celebrated play . He does not initially understand the implications of
calling Reverend Hale to investigate witchcraft in Salem's community at the beginning of the
play. Reverend Parris requests Reverend Hale's expertise to please Thomas Putnam and other
prominent members of the community.

Reverend Parris is primarily concerned
with maintaining his position of power and does not realize the consequences of his decisions.
He is also blind to the fact that he is primarily responsible for the congregation's contempt.
When Proctor criticizes Reverend Parris's messages and preaching style, Parris is offended and
denies the accusations that he is cold and callous. Initially, Parris is blind to the fact that
hanging John Proctor, Martha Corey, and Rebecca Nurse will incite a rebellion, and he supports
the court's proceedings.

Mary Warren is also blind to the truth concerning
her actions and participation in...

What is the meaning of the title The Glass Menagerie?

The
title  brings to prominence the collection of figurines composed of
delicate glass and shaped like animals that the equally delicate Laura owns. This title also
helps to draw attention to the symbolism of the fragile glass animals who come to represent
anything that is too delicate to last in the day-to-day outside world.

Because life is harsh and difficult for Laura, she has fabricated an imaginary world
symbolized by the glass menagerie. Laura is even compared to the glass animals in the stage
directions in Scene 6:

She is like a piece of translucent
glass touched by light, given a momentary radiance, not natural, not lasting. 

In a similar fashion, Amanda longs for the world of her youth, in
which she was comfortable as a Southern belle. Tom desires a world that is beyond the mundane
and trivial, escaping in books and at the picture shows (the movies).

Much
like the glass menagerie, all three Wingfields prove to be unrealistic. They each hold another
world in their minds, and, like the glass figures, it is a much too fragile world to last. Thus,
the title of The Glass Menagerie helps to bring to the
front the themes of illusions and impossible dreams.

How is the image of a boot stamping on a human face€”forever an appropriate image of this future anti-utopia in 1984?

In the
dystopian nation of Oceania, the authoritarian regime oppresses the entire population through
inhumane tactics and is dedicated to completely eradicating individuality. The Party's primary
goal is to forever dominate and control the population of Oceania. The Party maintains a
hysterical, threatening environment at all times, keeps the citizens under constant
surveillance, publicly executes enemies of the state, and tortures political dissidents. The
government also requires every Party member to worship Big Brother and completely accept their
absurd propaganda. If Party members are not completely orthodox, they are tortured and
brainwashed in the Ministry of Love.

In Emmanuel Goldstein's book,
The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism,reads about the
various methods the government utilizes to maintain power and oppress the citizens. Winston
reads about the necessity of continual warfare to use up valuable resources as well as the
ideology of Ingsoc. Since...
