In chapters 10-12 how does Dimmesdale feel about himself? "The Scarlet Letter"

With the
character of , Hawthorne introduces the concept of psychosomatic symptoms as the Reverend holds
his heart and, as is later revealed, has a letter "A" raised upon his chest. 
Dimmesdale's health is deteriorating because of his desperate guilt.  When he attempts to
confess by calling himself a worse sinner than anyone else in his sermons, the congregation
interprets his words as saintly humility and regard him even more highly than
previously.  

In his desperation, Dimmesdale turns to self-flagellation to
punish himself.  But, this action does nothing to soothe his soul.  So, in  he walks "in a
shadow of a dream" to the "spot of public ignominy," the scaffold whereonce
stood.  There is overcome with

a great horror of the mind
as if the universe were gazing at a scarlet token on his naked breast, right over his
heart.

Dimmesdale's shame evolves from his feelings of
guilt because of his tremendous hypocrisy.  He, more than any other character, personifies the
evil of Puritanism's refusal to forgive the sinner, causing a greater evil, that of the worm of
hypocrisy which eats away at the soul.

How do the concepts of Enlightenment and Romanticism shape Victor Frankenstein's understanding?

Until the completion of
his experiment,is very much influenced by and even seems to embody Enlightenment ideals. He
describes himself, as a child, as follows:

[I was] more
deeply smitten [than Elizabeth] with the thirst for knowledge. . . . While [she] contemplated
with a serious and satisfied spirit the magnificent appearance of things, I delighted in
investigating their causes. The world was to me a secret which I desired to divine. Curiosity,
earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as they were
unfolded to me, are among the earliest sensations I can remember.

Victor is interested in what makes the world work, while his cousin is interested in
imagining new worlds during her playtime. Victor wishes to understand, while Elizabeth wishes to
create. He is interested in the science of nature, while she is interested in the beauty of it.
Once he gets to college, it is no different; his "eager desire to learn" is in full
effect, and his pride is...

In "The Color of Water", why did Ruth send her black children to Jewish public school? Why did Ruth send her black chrildren to Jewish public school?

First,
let's talk about your question.  There
are no Jewish public schools in the United States. If a
school is Jewish, it
must be a private school.  If you are talking about a public school with a

large population of Jewish children, that is another matter entirely.

The
author says that his mother sent the children to "white schools
to get the best
education" (McBride 22). Later on in the book, the author
states that she sent them to
"predominantly Jewish public schools" (67). The
author explains that his mother felt
Jewish parents cared about scholastic
success and raised their children accordingly. Since
education was a priority
for Jewish parents, they often settled in the same neighborhoods.  This
gave
them a kind of "majority role" in their neighborhood public schools and made
it
easier for them to be involved in their children's education.  There is
good evidence to show
that parents who are actively involved in their
children's education have children who are more
successful.  Ruth was aware
of this, and knew that her children would be most successful in an

environment in which there were more interested parents and more successful children. 
There is
a kind of ripple effect in a school, so that success breeds success
for everyone, and sometimes
failure breeds failure in the same way.  Ruth was
perfectly aware of this, and even though she
cut herself off from the
religious aspect of Judaism, she maintained the cultural goal of
academic
success.

I hope this helps!

Why does the older waiter understand so well the old man's need for a cafe and what does the cafe represent for the two of them in Hemingway's "A...

Hemingway is presenting in ""
a picture of existential nihilism and arguing against nihilism while acknowledging the
truth of existentialism. The older waiter is the character who draws the picture for
us, as a result, Hemingway has given him depth of understanding of life's experience with
existentialist and nihilistic feelings.

Existentialism essentially says that life is meaningless
and without order and each person has the necessity to create order and meaning on their own for
their own lives in order to fend off ultimate hopelessness and despair that comes from being a
thinking being in a senseless world. Nihilism goes further and
essentially says that the end of everything is death and destruction therefore every attempt to
create order and meaning is itself meaningless.

The older
waiter understands the old man's need for the clean, well-lighted cafe because he
(1) understands the old man's despair. The old man no longer has order and meaning in his life
because his wife has already died, and we are to suppose that it was union with her that gave
life order and meaning for the old man. The waiter understands that (2) now the only order the
man can find is the order of externalities and the only meaning, that of some sort of activity
and human exchange. These substitutes for meaningfulness don't work well for the old man as we
at the start of the story.

The waiter understands these things so well
because, as we learn in the latter portion of the story, he is having his own
existential battle against nihilism. He feels life is meaningless and
"nada." He feels the only order in life is that imposed by externalities, like
cleanliness and good lighting in cafes. He finds his only meaning in (a) the human exchange that
is possible because of keeping a clean well-lighted place open for others who are in need and in
(b) the human exchange of thinking that others also suffer his form of "insomnia,"
thus he doesn't suffer alone.

The cafe
represents to both of them an accessible option to fight against nihilism,
against that final hopeless despair of non-meaning for a reasoning being: we can reason, yet we
can find no meaning through our reasoning while we watch as all comes to death and
destruction. 

"It is not only a question of youth and
confidence although those things are very beautiful. Each night I am reluctant to close up
because there may be some one who needs the cafe."

How does the Englishman shape the themes and the plot in The Alchemist?

The tale
of byis a story of a hero's journey, as Santiago ventures to Egypt in
search for treasure that he was promised in his prescient visions. Along the way, he encounters
an Englishman at an opportune time. Santiago has been robbed on his journey, losing all the
money he had to continue in his quest, and considered giving up before working for a crystal
merchant, in hopes of just earning enough money to continue his journey. It is here that he
encounters the Englishman.

The Englishman acts as a motivator and helps
return Santiago to his hero's journey in his own way. While he was languishing working for the
crystal merchant, it seemed as if his Personal Legend was slipping further away from him. The
Englishman comes in and accelerates the plot, acting almost as a sort of "Deus ex

What does Winston say is the one thing he and Julia must never do?

In Part
Two, chapter 7,andspend time together in their rented apartment above Mr. Charrington's antique
shop and discuss their future arrest and torture. Winston fully understands that it is only a
matter of time before the Thought Police arrest both of them and tells Julia that later on, they
will be completely separated from one another. Winston then says,

"The one thing that matters is that we shouldnt betray one another, although even
that cant make the slightest difference." (, 209)

Winston proceeds to tell Julia that they will eventually confess to crimes they did or
did not commit, which is not considered betrayal in his eyes. According to Winston, feelings are
the only thing that matter because the Party can make anyone say anything simply by torturing
them. Winston then tells Julia,

"If they could make
me stop loving youthat would be the real betrayal." (210)

Both Winston and Julia are hopeful and trust that the Party has no way of altering a
person's genuine emotions and feelings. Winston firmly believes that his mind and heart are
impregnable and believes that he and Julia will never stop loving each other regardless of the
Party's efforts. Unfortunately, Winston discovers that the Party has mastered the ability to
alter a person's emotions and transforms him into a Big Brother sympathizer after being tortured
in the ominous Room 101.

Character Sketch Of Helen Keller

is the
main character in  which is a personal account of Helen's young life after
she has a debilitating illness as a baby and is rendered blind and deaf. Annie Sullivan,
Alexander Graham Bell and Mr Anagnos all change Helen's life dramatically and it is her first
meeting with Dr. Bell which starts the process of her education and her fulfillment. In chapter
III, Helen reflects how "that interview would be the door through which I should pass from
darkness into light." 

Helen is a very expressive person and once she
learns how to communicate, she is tireless in her efforts to learn as much as she can. She is
intuitive and very demanding of others but she finds joy in the simplest things and shows
appreciation through her acceptance and remarkable development. She is trusting and loving. Her
high expectations do result in disappointments and one of her greatest regrets is after she
unwittingly plagiarizes The Frost Fairies by Miss Margaret T. Canby which
affects her confidence and belief in herself and after which her relationship with the beloved
Mr Anagnos is irreparably damaged.  

Dr. Alexander Graham Bell is
compassionate and kindhearted and an incredibly gifted inventor (as history will confirm). Helen
dedicated The Story of My Life to him. He has a special relationship with
children, especially the deaf, and his methods ensure that children are motivated and
enthusiastic to learn. He is funny and immediately connects with Helen. He recommends The
Perkins' Institute to the family which will begin Helen's long and extremely demanding path to
learning.  

Annie comes from The Perkins' Institute for the Blind where she
learnt to manage and overcome her own difficulties and is the person whom Helen recognizes as
most significant in her education. Annie makes Helen "think" and the day she arrives
is "the most important day I remember in all my life," such is the impact which Annie
has on Helen's success. Annie is patient, determined and even stubborn, and it is her resolve
which ensures that Helen is given time to adapt and to learn "language." Annie is
visually impaired herself and, despite her young age and her complete lack of experience, she is
dedicated and wise. She takes every opportunity to teach Helen, whether it be during lessons or
out in the environment where she ensures that Helen has every opportunity to explore, discover
and overcome her fears. She will become Helen's constant companion to the point that Helen feels
that "the footsteps of my life are in hers."

Dr Anagnos is the
director of The Perkins' Institute for the Blind and he understands potential, encouraging Annie
as her mentor when she is uncertain whether she is ready to teach at the Keller's home. He
recognizes Helen's enormous capacity for learning and becomes a dear friend to her.
Unfortunately, although he claims to believe Helen, he is unable to shake the feeling that she
may have deceived him  in writing her version of Canby's story and he never regains his
unquestionable faith in her to the point of his attitude being "hostile and menacing"
(ch XIV). However, his contribution to Helen's amazing success and to the lives of many blind
children with whom Helen comes into contact is indisputable.

What is the difference between business administration and public administration?

There is a
difference between business administration and public administration. A person who specializes
in business administration will focus on the operation of a business. This is often in the
private sector.administration involves marketing and finance. It may also involve how to make a
company more competitive with other businesses and how to increase sales and profits.

A person who specializes in public administration will focus on working in the
non-profit sector or in government. Public administration will focus on dealing with public
policy. It also will focus on financial management and may involve some application of various
laws. A form of public administration that involves the government may involve administering
various programs designed to help the citizens of a region or a state. A form of public
administration that involves a non-profit group may involve running a charity.

One reason why some people prefer to be involved in public administration instead of
business administration is that public administration generally focuses on improving society. It
is less focused on profits. Some people find that kind of work more
rewarding.

What are some quotes from chapters 12-14 in To Kill A Mockingbird that Calpurnia says?

Calpurnia plays a more prominent role inthan
she does in chapters 13 and 14. In chapter 12,is out of town on a business trip and Calpurnia
decides to takeandto Sunday service at First Purchase African M.E. Church. Before the children
attend Cal's church, she makes sure they are thoroughly washed and that their clothes are in
immaculate condition. When Jem asks what all the fuss is about, Cal replies,

"I dont want anybody sayin€˜ I dont look after my
children..." (Lee, 119).

Cal's comment and careful
preparations reveal that she takes pride in caring for the Finch children and is serious about
her job. Cal is also aware of how others perceive her and wants to make a good impression.
Following the Sunday service, the children are surprised to learn that Cal is one of the few
literate black citizens in her community. Cal proceeds to tell the children that Miss Maudie
Atkinsons aunt, Miss Buford, taught her how to read. The children are astonished by this
information and inquire about Cal's age. Cal responds by telling the Finch children,

"Im older than Mr. Finch, even...Not sure how much, though. We
started rememberin€˜ one time, trying to figure out how old I wasI can remember back just a few
years moren he can, so Im not much older, when you take off the fact that men cant remember as
well as women" (Lee, 126).

Calpurnia proceeds to
elaborate on her background and upbringing, which fascinates the children. Cal mentions that she
grew up on Finch's Landing and was educated by reading the Bible and Blackstone's
Commentaries. After discovering that Cal is an educated woman, Scout asks
why Cal doesn't use correct English when she is around her community members. Cal responds by
saying,

"Its right hard to say...Suppose you and
Scout talked colored-folks talk at home itd be out of place, wouldnt it? Now what if I talked
white-folks talk at church, and with my neighbors? Theyd think I was puttin€˜ on airs to beat
Moses" (Lee, 127).

Cal's response depicts her as a
modest woman, who exercises perspective and understands her environment. Cal is able to
code-switch in order to adapt and assimilate into her environment, which highlights her
intelligence.

Why does O'Brien appear to befriend Winston? How could Winston end up caring for him, even though he tortures him?

From the very
beginning,is more smitten withthan he is with .  Ironically, he thinks Julia is the
thoughtpolice (and she may have been), but he mistakenly sees O'Brien as a member of the
Brotherhood.

The state has conditioned Winston to betray his own mother and
the future mother of his potential children (Julia), in favor of the fatherland (Big Brother and
O'Brien).  Indeed the boot crushing force of the totalitarian government seduces rebels toward
it.  Winston abandons all that Julia helped him believe about Big Brother in pursuit of O'Brien.
 Winston ultimately trusts the father-figure (O'Brien) over the mother-figure (Julia), such is
the conditioning of the Big Brother.

He mistakenly thinks Julia is a double
agent and that O'Brien is not.  Since the members of the Party are unable to speak or write to
each other, they must conjecture (through physical appearances only) about one's allegiances. 
Throughout the novel, Winston will place more importance on love of O'Brien than of Julia: that
O'Brien's abilility to see truth is more important than Julia's ability to give and receive
love.  He will mistakenly follow the Father(land) instead of the mother.

How does Ellison show symbolism and imagery through the speech, naked women, boxing mathch and coins? The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, "The Battle...

The first
chapter of The bypresents symbolically what the narrator learns throughout
the novel:  The black man has been exploited and continues to be "invisible" as a
human being who has rights and an entitlement to freedom.  In the ring, the young men are put
amidst a naked woman who has a tattoo of the American flag on her body.  She represents the
ultimate goal of the black animal, a forbidden temptation.  The men must fight one another
senselessly for the amusement of the cigar-smoking white men who watch with sadistic lust in
their hearts.

After the fight, the young men are made to reach for coins that
have been placed on a carpet that has an electrical current running through it.  When the young
men reach for them they are violently shocked.  These unattainable coins symbolize the
unreachablewealth and positions for the black men in American society.  With a further parodic
example of how the black man has been deluded into thinking he is part of the American Dream,
Ellison's narrator delivers a speech before the older white men about his goals, and no one
heeds a word of his empty expectations.

What is Elie's family like in Night? To whom in his family does he seem most attached? With whom would he like to be closer?

Elie's
family is a typical devout Jewish family living in Sighet, Romania at the beginning of the
story, and they are deeply involved in the community's religious affairs. Elie's parents run a
local store, and his two oldest sisters, Hilda and Bea, help with the work. Elie's father is an
esteemed leader in Sighet's Jewish community, and Elie feels that he is more concerned with the
welfare of other people than he is with his own family. Elie also mentions that his father is
rather unsentimental and rarely displays his feelings. These negative qualities indicate that
Elie desires to be closer to his father.

Since Elie's older sisters work in
the store and his father is busy tending to religious matters, one could argue that Elie is
closest to Tzipora, his youngest sister, or his mother at the beginning of the story. Elie often
thinks about what happened to his mother and Tzipora after he is separated from them during the
first selection and even mentions Tzipora in the dedication of the...

How is physical control implemented in 1984?

The
government controls almost every second of an Outer Party member's life. Not only do party
members work for the government, but they also spend their spare waking hours on activities such
as participating in the massive preparations for Hate Week. Beyond that, most people are
terrified of being vaporized, which means suddenly disappearing and wiping away any memory of
one's existence. There are no specific laws forbidding this or that activity, but people
nevertheless know that anything but rigid conformity to the Party carries a great
risk.

country or to the room above Mr. Carrington's shop to carry on their illicit affair. They find
out too late that the state's surveillance equipment is everywhere.

Love God and love
others are definitely tenets of Jesus's teaching. His job on earth was to further the will of
his father. God's goal is that our time on earth should further his will and expand his heavenly
kingdom. With that respect, don't forget that Jesus also expected his followers to do just that.
"Go ye therefore and be fishers of men." His followers were to continue his teachings
after he ascended to heaven. 

What are four examples from Poe's "The Raven" that demonstrate the effect that alliteration and assonance have on the reader?

One example of , the
repetition of an initial consonant sound, occurs when the narrator says, "Deep into the
darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, / Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal
ever dared to dream before" (25-26). The repetition of the hard "d" sound in
these two lines helps to enhance the ominous mood generated by the meaning of the words. The
narrator is nervously staring into the darkness, a somewhat foreboding action, and the
repetition of the "d" sound is foreboding as well. This increases tension for the
reader.

Another example of alliteration actually occurs in the same stanza:
"And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, '!' / This I whispered, and an echo
murmured back the word, 'Lenore!'" (28-29). The repetition of the much softer "w"
sound, especially after the harsh series of "d" sounds, is much gentler, just as a
whisper would be. The transition from a hard, ominous sound to a soft, sort of creepy sound
enhances the silence of the scene and the awe of the narrator when he opens the door to nothing
and hoped it was the soul of his lost lover. This would likewise serve to increase suspense, as
character and reader both await whatever is in the darkness.

One example of
assonance relies on the repetition of the long "a" sound, which slows down the pace of
the poem and emphasizes the odd behavior of the bird: "In there stepped a stately raven of
the saintly days of yore; / Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed
he; / But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door" (38-40). Assonance is
the repetition of vowel sounds, and when a poet uses long vowel sounds over and over again, it
has the effect of slowing the pace because those sounds take longer to say. This assonance,
then, slows down the poem's pace and lends a musical quality to the lines that seems to enhance
those lines' meaning.

Another example of assonance occurs in the first
stanza, when the narrator says, "While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a
tapping, / As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door" (3-4). The short
"a" sound (as in the word "napping") has the opposite effect of the long
vowels I mentioned above. Since the short vowel sounds take less time to say, they have a
tendency to seem to speed things up, which makes sense given the meaning of these words. The
tapping and rapping come unexpectedly, and the quickness of the repeated short "a"
sound mimics the abrupt manner in which the action occurs in the poem.  

What phrases describe the poem "Annabel Lee" that are not used in the poem?

I think we could
certainly describe this poem using the phrase "hauntingly tragic," though these words
never appear in the poem itself.

The speaker is in love with a young woman
named , but she became very ill and died, prompting her family to come and take her body, hold a
funeral, and inter her. The speaker believes that the angels must have envied the happiness that
he and Annabel Lee felt with one another and conspired to disrupt and end it. This is what makes
the poem so tragic.

However, the speaker also says, in the final stanza, that
he goes to her sepulcherthe place where her body is buriedand he lies with her dead body each
night. This is what makes the poem so haunting.

For similar reasons, we could
describe the poem as disturbingly tender. The narrator's habit of
sleeping with his dead lover in her tomb is disturbing, though there is a tenderness in his love
for her that we must recognize.

How does the Party control matter if, as Smith asks, it cannot control things like gravity or disease, or even O'Brien aging?

In response,says
that the Party does not need to control matter. It does not need to control gravity or other
physical laws. Why? Because the Party controls people's minds. According to O'Brien, it is far
more significant to control a person's mind than it is to control the physical world. The reason
for this is simple: if you control a person's mind, then you are able to control the reality
that they perceive. O'Brien uses an example to illustrate this idea:

I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do
not wish to, because the Party does not wish it.

In this
example, O'Brien is not saying that he could actually float off the floorthat is against the
laws of nature. However, by psychologically manipulating people into believing that he could do
this, it would create the illusion of floating off the floor. He could, therefore, alter their
perception of reality through manipulation.

The Party, therefore, does not
need to control matter, like gravity or aging, because it has something far more powerfulthat
is, the ability to change how people perceive reality. As long as the Party can maintain its
grip on people's minds, it will be able to control their understanding of the
world.

What does the word "clipped" mean in this poem?

's poem
"" is full of avian metaphors and . The poem itself is afor the limitations one
experiences in a life of oppression. "Caged Bird" draws from Angelou's own experiences
as a Black woman in the racially-segregated United States following the Civil War and even
beyond the Civil Rights Movement. To this day, many Black Americans face limitations based on a
systemic cycle of racial oppression which prevents class mobility. 

In
talking of birds, "clipping" involves trimming a bird's wing feathers so that they
cannot fly. Some bird owners or caretakers trim just one wing or enough feathers on each side,
so as to render the bird unstable in flight but leaving them able to glide for a short distance.
In Angelou's poem, she uses "clipped" as a metaphor for the systemic forms of
oppression I have mentioned above. Being "clipped" in society on the basis of race (or
other identities) prevents an individual from ever testing their capability for success.
Historically, Black Americans have been denied access to schooling and certain kinds of work,
and even today it is not uncommon for Black Americans to be turned down for jobs on the basis of
their appearance and a failure to assimilate to a white-dominated work environment. To be
"clipped," as Angelou implies, is to never be given a chance for success in
life.

How did World War I and its aftermath affect freedom and civil liberties in the United States? For whom?

and its
aftermath greatly curtailed civil liberties in the United States, with everyday citizens and
dissidents who were not in support of the war being most greatly affected. The main vein of
civil liberties to be diminished dealt with First Amendment rights, with freedom of speech and
freedom of the press being reduced as a result of the war. President Woodrow Wilson attempted to

In stave 2 of A Christmas Carol, how does Dickens present Scrooge as materialistic?

Stave 2
of is remarkable partly because it shows how deeply Scrooge is moved and
saddened by the scenes of the past shown to him by the Spirit. It is almost as if the Scrooge of
the present has already been changed into the man that all of these visitations will ultimately
make him. We also see, unsurprisingly (but perhaps something not often commented upon), that as
a child, Scrooge was not only lonely but also a victim of abuse. We are told that his father

at the urging of Ebenezer's sister, their father is now allowing Ebenezer to "come

In "How Body Modification Ended the War Against My Body," how would you describe the author's body image? Identify the passage that reveals how she...

The
author has, over time, developed a compassionate and loving body image.

The
sole focus of the entire essay is the author's body image, but the first time that the reader
truly understands the breadth and depth of the author's relationship and history with her body
is on the first page when she writes:

Prettifying my navel
seemed like an appropriate symbolic gesture, a peace offering to the part of me upon which I had
inflicted the most pain.

This sentence tells us that the
author has had difficulty with body image in the past: she inflicted pain on herself. It also
tells us that the author has acknowledged this past self-inflicted pain and is attempting to
make peace with her body and how she feels about it.

The contrast of
historical pain against current compassion makes the author's current self-love more emotionally
impactful.

What reason does the monster give for killing William and framing Justine in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?

's
brutal murder ofand his subsequent framing of Justine is a sign that he's becoming more human
yet no less monstrous. As the Monster starts to learn more about the world, he realizes just
what merry havoc he can cause, especially to those who cross him. As the Monster isn't human, he
is beyond the bounds of society, with all its norms, laws, and values. Under the circumstances,
then, it makes perfect sense for him to commit an act of murder and have someone else take the
fall for it.

The Monster is motivated primarily by revenge. He's grown to
hatefor disowning him and for not giving him the companion he so desperately craves. But as
Frankenstein is the only man alive who can do this for him, the Monster spares his life,
choosing instead to get at his creator through his nearest and dearest. In killing William and

Before Giovanni meets Beatrice, what does he see, or think he sees, that makes him fear her? Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Rappacini's Daughter"

When Giovanni
Guasconti came to Padua in order
to attend the university, he takes lodgings in tall, gloomy
room of an old
building which has a coat of arms over the doorway.  An old woman instructs

Giovanni to look out the window in order to dispel his gloom.  As he does so, he notices
that
the sun falls upon a resplendent garden.  One plant has winds itself
around a statue of
Vertumnus, the vegetarian god who wins Paomona's love and
takes her away.  Then he espies a
sallow and sickly old man emerge.  This
"scientific gardener" studies the plants, yet
he avoids their touch and he
avoids inhaling their odors.

The
"distrustful gardener"
wears thick gloves and a mask upon his mouth as he stops by a
magnificent
plant that possess a profusion of purple blossoms.  Giovanni observes the man
call
to his daughter Beatrice, charging her with its care.  But, rather than
fearing this plant,
Beatrice, who "looks redundant with life, health, and
energy" embraces it.  Perceiving
her as much like a flower herself, Giovanni
becomes rather apprehensive about her powers with
such a plant, but he is
intriguesd with her inexpressible beauty.  So taken is he that he falls
in
love with Beatrice who creates both intrigue and danger. Or, as Hawthorne
writes,

...yet hope and dread kept a
continual warfare in his
breast.

Giovanni, struck by the beauty of Beatrice who
could well be
the sister of any of the resplendent plants, is at the same time anxious
about
being near the beauty who can withstand the poison of such plants.  It
is a mixture of love and
horror that Giovanni Guasconti
senses. 

What sort of feeling does the author create at the beginning of "Annabel Lee," and does it change?

As
the events of the poem unfold, there are three distinct moods created through the
details.

The mood at the beginning of "" is mystical. The speaker
begins with "It was many and many a year ago," which is reminiscent of a fairy tale
beginning "Once upon a time, long long ago." The speaker then tells of a
"maiden" whose only thought is to love him and be loved by him. It sounds very much
like a fairy tale full of loving tales that end "happily ever after," and this feeling
flows into the next stanza with descriptions of an unearthly love that is so strong that
"winged seraphs" envy the couple.

The third stanza begins a mood
shift to one of despair. Suddenly, Annabel Lee is killed by a darkness and the speaker is left
alone as her "highborn kinsman" take her away. Thus, Annabel Lee leaves him both
spiritually and physically.

Before the poem ends, the mood shifts once again
to reflect the eerie attachment that the speaker holds for Annabel Lee, even in death. He feels
that their souls are forever bound together and cannot be separated; therefore, he lies by her
sepulcher night after night, listening to the same sea that stands by their "kingdom"
in the first stanza.

There is no happy ending, and this is no fairy tale.
Instead, the couple faces a darkness which causes the death of Annabel Lee and forever changes
the speaker into a man forever tortured by dreams of the love he had and
lost.

Why does the grandmother in the story tell The Misfit that he is a good man? Is there any sense in which he is a good man?

In an attempt to
save her life, the grandmother
pays The Misfit the highest compliments she can think of. Since
she is a
woman who embodies old southern values and prejudices it makes sense that
she would
tell him that he is a "good man" and "not a bit

common."

The grandmother, however, begins to change as she gets
more
desperate. She begins to call out to Jesus in earnest, though it sounds
"as if she might be
cursing." Finally, when The Misfit looks like he might
cry, the "grandmother's head
clear[s] for an instant and she says, "Why
you're one of my babies. You're one of my own
children!" and reaches out to
touch him. At that instant he shoots her dead.

Though The
Misfit is clearly evil, he does bring about a positive change in
the
grandmother before he dies. The shock and fear she feels makes her forget her
snobbishness
and look at him with compassion. For a moment, she sees The
Misfit as Jesus himself would have.

The Misfit recognizes
that the crisis brought out the best in the old woman.
He acknowledges that
"She would of been a good woman . . . if it had been somebody there to
shoot
her every minute of her life."

What is the point of view of "The Black Cat"?

The point of view of
this story is first-person objective. The first-person part means that the
narrator is a participant in the events that have taken place in the plot and that he uses the
first personal pronoun "I." The objective part means that the
narrator is telling the story after the events have already taken place, and so most verbs that
he uses will be in the past tense (as opposed to a subjective narrator, who
tells events as they take place using verbs in the present tense). The unnamed narrator of this
story does, in fact, use the first-person pronoun, "I," as we see several times in the
first paragraph alone, and he narrates events in which he has...

What was the political structure of the Indus Valley Civilization? Did they have a king or some sort of democracy?

Because the
Dravidian (or Harappan) language has not yet been deciphered; there is no way to determine their
political structure, although the presence of two large cities with roads built on a grid, flush
toilets and other amenities plus large city walls for protection indicate that some sort of
political structure was present. Substantial public amenities and protective features could only
be built by means of an effective system of taxation; therefore the Dravidians apparently had a
system of taxation which one would naturally associate with a governmental structure. One can
only speculate as to its true nature; although it is doubtful that it was a democracy. Democracy
appears to have been a uniquely Athenian feature. The successors to the Dravidians, the Aryan
tribesmen of Eurasia, were organized into tribal units each ruled by a Rajah,
or chief who governed with the aid of a council of tribal elders. There were
apparently hundreds of these local tribal groups, each with its own rajah, but no centralized
government existed. Over time, the individual rajahs did attempt to extend their influence over
neighboring communities, most often by conquering them. Interestingly, the word rajah,
of Indoeuropean origin, is closely related to the Latin rex
meaning "king," and the origin of the words "regal" and "royal."
Although Indoeuropeans apparently influenced languages throughout the Eurasian continent, their
system of government (or lack thereof) did not extend beyond the Indian
sub-continent.

How did the power of the federal government increase during the period of 1865 to 1940?

The federal
government's power increased a great deal during this period. During the Progressive Era, the
federal government became a consumer advocate with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and the Food and
Drug Administration. Government also got into the electricity business with the Tennessee Valley
Authority during the New Deal. Government tried to protect people from themselves through the
Prohibition movement. While this failed largely due to inadequate government funding and public
disinterest, the Prohibition movement lay the groundwork for anti-drug laws today.

The national government also made the American public more aware of the need to defend
itself against hostile agents both at home and abroad. The government also had the power to
arrest and deport those that it deemed hostile during WWI and the Red Scare of the 1920s. In
1917, the federal government also had the power to draft someone into the military. The draft
would come back again in 1940 as part of the preparedness...

How depressing is Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man? Could it be an act of transformation from €˜pain into €˜art?

The ideas
about art that emerge from  are not depressing.  They affirm the power of
creation in a world that desperately needs it.

Through Stephen, Joyce makes clear that the artistic identity is one of transformation.
 Stephen must experience pain as he comes to understand that he does not "fit" into
the socially designed classifications of the world around him.  He experiences alienation from
this world. He communicates this to Cranly:  

I will tell
you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe,
whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself
in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the
only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.

It is evident that Stephen has experienced challenge in trying to "fit" into
worlds that are not for him.  Socially carved out notions like "Fatherland" or
"church" don't work.  He recognizes this as a process of transformation, or change.
 When he further tells Cranly that he no longer possesses the fear "to be alone" or
"to make a mistake," Stephen speaks as an artist.  This is not depressing.  Rather, it
is liberating.  

There is significant difficulty in arriving at such a point.
 Stephen experiences pain and frustration in establishing his "non serviam credo" and
defining his place in the world as an artist.  However, I don't think that Joyce sees this as
depressing.  There is little sadness in Stephen's welcoming affirmation of "O life! I go to
encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul
the uncreated conscience of my race.  Joyce shows that the process of transforming into an
artist might involve pain. However, it is not a depressing one because it creates something new
and meaningful in the world.

What is the point of Dante's journey through the after-life? What did it mean to be a Christian in Dante's time?

Dante is
the middle of life when he embarks on his journey to the underworld and then to purgatory and
paradise. At 35midway between birth and his expected death at 70he has lost his way. He no
longer knows his spiritual purpose in life. Therefore, to reorient him, Virgil takes him on a
tour through the inferno.

The nine circles of hell and their various
subgroups offer Dante and the reader a vivid depiction of why one should live a virtuous life in
accordance to God's will. In Dante's time and place, to be a Christian meant to be a Roman
Catholic. There was no Protestant Reformation yet,...

Can you compare and contrast Maslow and Freud's theories?

Freud and
Maslow were two vastly different
psychologists with virtually opposite views of human nature and
its
capacities. Freud developed his psychodynamic theory based on his experiences with just
a
handful of patients in a counseling environment, in which he viewed human
psychological
development as a progression through a series of psychosexual
stages. According to Freud, human
beings are driven through an interaction
with psychosexual forces that begin with nursing and
oral stimulation, and
then progress to anal, phallic, latent, and genital development. Freud

believed that any trauma...

Solve the system: 2x-y=8 x+3y=9

2x-y = 8

We will use the
elimination method to solve:

Let us multiply (1) by 3 and add to
(2);

==> 7x = 33

==> x=

To find y we will substitute in (1):

2x - y = 8

==> y= 2x - 8 = 2(33/7) - 8

==> y= 10/7

In To Kill a Mockingbird, what did Atticus mean when he told Scout to delete the adjective and she would have the facts?

In
,assuresthat the older she gets, the better school becomes. Scout then elaborates on Jem's
extravagant explanations of what he is learning in the sixth grade. She humorously describes
Jem's "Egyptian Period," where he attempts to walk with a rigid posture like the
Egyptians depicted in hieroglyphics. Jem tells Scout that Egyptians actually walked that way and
were amazingly able to accomplish more than Americans ever did. He also tells her that the
Ancient Egyptians invented toilet paper and perpetual embalming. When Scout consults her father
about Jem's explanations, he tells her that if she were to delete the adjectives, she would have
the facts. 's comment is anused to describe Jem's exaggerations and fantastical ideas. He is
essentially telling Scout not to believe everything Jem says regarding the Egyptians, because he
has a big imagination and a tendency to exaggerate.

Why does Ruth become angry when Walter gives Travis money for the cab fare?

During
breakfast,asks his mother for fifty
cents and tells her that his teacher requires them to bring
in money
today.understands that her family cannot afford to waste fifty cents and tells
Travis
that he cannot have the money.

Shortly after Ruth
denies Travis the fifty
cents,comes out of the bathroom and agrees to give
Travis the money out of spite. As Ruth stares
daggers at Walter, he proceeds
to give Travis fifty more cents to buy a piece of
fruit.

Ruth is upset at her husband because he purposely undermined her in

front of Travis and gave him money that they could not afford to waste. Walter is a
bitter man
who resents Ruth for not believing in his dream but wants to give
his child the things he never
had. Ruth knows that Travis does not need the
money and would rather save it, which is why she
feels disrespected when
Walter undermines her. She also knows that Walter needs the fifty cents
for
his own cab fare, which is something he ends up realizing after Travis

leaves.

Are the crystal glasses and the desert allegorical in Coelho's The Alchemist? Explain.

I don't
think I'd use the word "allegorical" with regard to the crystal glasses or the desert.
I would imagine that "symbol" would be more accurate with the glasses, and the desert
may be more a .

Anis defined as...

...an extended metaphor in which a person, abstract idea, or event stands for itself
and for something else.

With an allegory, there
is also the sense that hearing the story or the narrative provides a lesson or a "moral to
the story." Because you have identified items, I would
assume that these things might be symbolic (or metaphoric), representing something significant
by which to better understand the story.

In this case, I believe that the
crystal glasses are symbolic. In 's , Santiago (the boy) is ready to give
up his search for his Personal Legend. He has been robbed and he's feeling defeated. So he
promises himself to get a job, save up his money, buy sheep, and return home.

Santiago goes to the crystal merchant and suggests that if he cleans the dirty crystal,
perhaps the man could feed him. The man does not respond, so the boy begins to clean each glass
until it sparkles. Afterward, the man says:

You didn't
have to do any cleaning...The Koran requires me to feed a hungry person.

The boy is puzzled and asks:

Well then, why did you let me do it?

The
merchant replies:

Because the crystal was dirty. And both
you and I needed to cleanse our minds of negative thoughts.

The crystal merchant's take on the situation speaks directly to the boy's difficulty at
this time in his life. The dirty glasses symbolize the boy's inability to look into the future
and see the potential for success. Being without money, food or a place to live has dampened his
spirithas clouded his vision of pursing his dream and his Personal Legend. In cleaning the
glasses, they become beautiful again and draw one's eye. As Santiago spends time in the company
of the crystal merchant, he begins to see the wisdom of moving forwardhis "vision" is
cleansed (as were the glasses) so that his hopes for the future become "crystal clear"
once again, and his mind's eye is drawn to his Personal Legend as the sparkling crystal draws
one's physical vision.

As for the desert, I see this as a metaphor. The
desert seems to represent emptiness and desolation. However, as the
alchemist shows the boy, many things are hidden in the desert. Life is hidden beneath the sand.
The alchemist says to the boy...

Show me where there is
life out in the desert. Only those who can see such signs of life are able to find
treasure.

The boy notes that he does not know how to do
this. The alchemist announces:

Life attracts
life.

Hearing this the boy gives free rein to his horse.
Santiago notes:

I don't know the language of the desert,
but my horse knows the language of life.

And the horse
does, indeed, find a hole. The alchemist puts his hand inside and brings out a snake. It is
disconcerting for the boy, but it shows that what is on the surface is not always what we find
beneath. And while the desert may seem to hold little promise of life, it
has life and allows life to prosperin an unlikely place. And while it may
seem to hold even less promise of treasure, it is a search that will prove fruitful. The desert
is a metaphor: Life is sometimes a desert, holding little promise, but if one looks beneath the
surface, treasure, life, may be hidden out of sight.

How do the articles of the Georgia Constitution compare with the articles of the US Constitution?

Both the
Georgia Constitution and the US Constitution contain a Bill of Rights which is designed to
safeguard the liberties of the people. The Georgia Constitution gives some limits as to how arms
can be borne by the peoplethe US Constitution does not state this explicitly. The Georgia
Constitution also states how many people can sit on a jury (twelve); the US Constitution only
gives one the right to a trial by jury. There is also mention of regulating fishing and hunting
in the Georgia Constitution. This does not exist in the US Constitution.

The
US Constitution makes no mention of marriage. The Georgia Constitution states that only
marriages between one man and one woman are recognized by the state. This is in section 4,
paragraph 1, and it is controversial as same-sex marriage is recognized according to federal
law.

three branches of governmentlegislative, executive, and judicial. Overall, the Georgia

What warning does Friar Laurence give Romeo foreshadowing future events of Romeo and Juliet?

At critical
points in the play,advises restraint and cool consideration, though neithernor the other
characters in the play are terribly good at either. Wisely and slow, they stumble that run
fast, he tells Romeo after seeing Romeo practically bounce with joy at his agreement to marry .
Then three scenes later he cautions, These violent delights have violent ends. Romeo in
particular proves the friar right.

Later in the play Romeo jumps into the
duel betweenand , and inadvertently causes Mercutios death: Why the devil came you between us?
scolds Mercutio, I was hurt under your arm! Romeos headstrong behavior, though well intended,
causes a fatality. Later on, in s tomb, distraught at seeing what he has every reason to believe
is her dead body, he poisons himself, just moments too soon €“ Juliet wakes up almost as soon as
he dies. Tragically, in both cases, he lets his storm of emotions run fast, and both times
they lead to violent ends.

In Act 3 of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, the living are concerned for the dead. How do the dead feel about or respond to this?

The dead in
the cemetery seem to be irritated by the living people who mourn for the dead, or they think the
mourners are silly. When the mourners arrive for the funeral, Simon Stimson, one of the dead,
says, "I'm always uncomfortable when they're around." At the end
of the play, he goes into a long tirade about how ignorant and self-centered the living are,
always being controlled by their passions. He says this just before George Gibbs comes alone to
the cemetery hours after his wife's funeral has ended. Presumably one of the silly passions Mr.
Stimson was complaining about is grief for the loss of loved ones.

Others
among the dead comment when George comes to grieve. They say that he shouldn't be coming at that
time of day. One says it's "funny," that is, odd, that he should be there. A woman
says, "That's no way for him to behave" when George falls to his knees mourningas if
his behavior is in bad taste and outrageous.

The dead seem totally
unsympathetic to the sorrows the living have over those who have passed away. They go on and on
about how blind the living are, how they lack understanding, as if the dead don't recall feeling
the same way. The portrayal is ironic in that the dead seem just as blind in their own way of
earthly realities as the living are blind toward eternal realities. Supposedly the dead have a
higher level of understanding and have risen above being overcome with sorrow and grief. The
fact that the dead don't mourn in return is one of the most disturbing aspects of the play. That
is the part, as the Stage Manager warned, that hurts our feelings.

In the novel, 1984, identify at least two arguments Orwell is making about people and society in Part 1, Chapters 2-4.

In
chapter 3,tries in vain to remember what Oceania was like when he was a child and realizes the
significance of the Party's ability to alter and destroy the past. The Party has the ability to
alter historical documents, which means that they can literally create a past that supports
their current agenda.is essentially shedding light on the ways in which governments throughout
the world can manipulate the population by distorting historical facts. Without access to
accurate information and authentic historical documents, citizens are susceptible to government
propaganda. Orwell is also subtly critiquing government censorship laws, which prevent citizens
from possessing books, documents, and records that can pose a threat to its authority.

In chapter 4, Winston "rectifies" historical documents at the Ministry of
Truth. Winston essentially corrects various documents to coincide with the Party's current
agenda in order to make it seem as if the Party is always right. Orwell...

Integrate by parts.  u = t and dv = e^t.  Then du = 1 and v =

`=te^t-e^t+c`

`=e^t(t-1)+c`

2. `int

You could use substitution, but I like to just think "what
would the derivative of e^-2t be?  -2e^-2t.  So we have half of that:

`1/2
e^(-2t)+c`

 

3.  `int te^(t^2) dt`

Think "what would the derivative of `e^(t^2)` be?  `2te^(t^2)` . Again, we just
have half of that in our integral, so answer is

`1/2e^(t^2)+c`

 

 

 

 

 

 

In The Sun Also Rises, what is the significance of the title?

The title of
comes from the epigraph, which is from Ecclesiastes. Part of the epigraph
reads,

One generation passeth away, and another generation
cometh; but the earth abideth forever. . . The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and
hasteth to the place where he arose.

This epigraph
expresses the idea that one generation fades into another, and the sun will continue to rise,
while each generation passes on.

The generation that Hemingway describes in
the novel is doomed by the horrors they faced while fighting in World War I and/ or while
witnessing the effects of the war. For example, Jake is impotent because of his war injuries and
can't be with the woman he loves, Brett. The generation of the 1920s that witnessed the
devastation of World War I and that, alienated from the United States, lived a rootless
existence traveling around Europe, was known as "the lost generation." The writer
Gertrude Stein is credited with the other epigraph of the novel: "You are all a lost
generation. --Gertrude Stein in conversation." The term "lost generation" was
used to refer to Hemingway's contemporaries and describes the characters in the novel. To some
degree, they have already seen the sun rise and set on them, and true regeneration will only
come after the sun has risen on a new generation that comes after the "lost
generation."

Identify the challenge that has tended to exist in newly independent nations that experienced a long period of Colonial rule.

Part of
where this answer lies is in the realm of Postcolonial thought.  When trying to assess the
challenges that have tended to exist in newly formed nations is how to construct reality after
Colonial rule has ended.  I think that this is where the basic challenge in forming a
Postcolonial reality has existed.  From a philosophical point of view, self- definition as self
is difficult when self- definition had been viewed as that of "the other."  Through
Colonialism, there was a reality that underscores  what...

Natural rights, founding principles, consitution I am supposed to be trying to explain individual liberties and rights as a founding principle of...

Two
concepts are being conflated into one, which happens when figurative
language is used (e.g., "taken away") and used for so long and by so many that it is
forgotten that it is figurative. Since rights are not like a pair of shoes
that one dons or that one may or may not be permitted to don, they can not literally
be taken away as shoes can most decidedly be taken away by heartless (or maybe
desperate) individuals. In reference to rights and the United States Founding Documents,
"taken away" is a figurative for oppressed and/or violated. What
your professor is wisely asserting is that humankind has innate qualities of dignity and
humanity and honor that include the freedom to live under their own volition (though not harm
inducing volition, since harm violates a few rights on its own) without the brutality and
dehumanization and exploitation of tyrants or greedy mercenaries or other powerful and
destructive people or groups. In this sense, these rights are
not a negotiable social contract.

In another sense,
literal legal rights are a negotiable social
contract. Two examples are "We, the people ..." and Swedish health care. In the first
example, the groups included in the literal legal social construct of
rights as expressed in "We, the people ..." did not include,
women, children, slaves, and non-Christian immigrants, and possibly others. This is, in fact a
literal legal social construct that forms an agreement between people of a
society as to what literal legal rights may be had by whom (though it is
speaking of humankind's innate inviolate qualities of dignity, humanity,
honor etc, that are not a social
construct).

As legal rights, these may--upon a change in
the social agreement that results in a change in the social construct--be altered to include or
exclude those not previously specified. This is precisely what has happened with Constitutional
Amendments, new laws and Supreme Court rulings. On the other hand, no Constitutional Amendments,
laws or Supreme court rulings can ever alter the innate humanity and dignity and attendant
rights held by every person living--we have already established that these rights may be and are
violated and abused, but they can not be altered or disenfranchised.

The
second example of Swedish health care is a happy example of inclusion (as
opposed to the original exclusion of "We, the people ...") in a
literal legal social construct that specifies legal
rights that a social group has agreed to. Sweden has agreed that all
citizens--because of their innate, inviolate humanity and dignity--have the legal
right to any and all needed health care (and education, for that matter) without
restriction for any cause.

So, to understand these questions you ask, you
must be able to isolated and separate (not conflate) the two concepts of (1) innate human rights
and (2) legal rights that devolve to members of a society based upon legal documents that agree
to and specify the legal rights recognized within that society. For more
clarity, compare the legal social construct of health care rights for citizens in Sweden to the
legal social construct of health care rights for citizens in the United States (a political
"hot button" right now, I know, but a very clear example of the point I'm making
[though I'm not inviting a battle over policy by mentioning it]).

Distinguish different notions of possibility, and explain how that bears on Aquinas's argument.

In the
Summa Theologica, Thomas Aquinas lays out five ways (in Latin,
quinque viae) to show God exists, also referred to as the proofs of Gods
existence. Aquinass third way, which relates to contingency, is known as the argument from
possibility and necessity.

Two contrasting earlier approaches to the
possibility or necessity of existence are those of the Greek philosopher Aristotle and the
sixth-century neo-Platonist John of Alexandria (or Johannes Philophonus). While Aristotles
natural theology was based on an eternal cosmos with no beginning or end, it is considered
anti-Creationist. John of Alexandria, critiquing Aristotle, argued against the
eternity...

The epiphany was
