What are some of the main effects of poverty in developing countries?

According
to the most recent statistics compiled by the World Bank, about 10 percent of the world's
population lives in extreme poverty, which means that they survive on less than 1.90 USD per
day. Over half of these extremely poor people live in the developing nations of Sub-Saharan
Africa. There are several serious effects of poverty in developing countries.

One of the major problems stemming from poverty is an absence of adequate health care.
The lack of clean water and proper sanitation leads to rampant infectious diseases, which cause
the deaths of millions in developing countries. Among the most serious of these are malaria,
tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS.

Another major problem associated with poverty in
developing countries is increased crime. Where there is widespread unemployment and a lack of
economic opportunities, many people tend to turn to criminal activity to survive.

A lack of education is another result of poverty in developing countries. Children and
teenagers have to leave...

Please outline the way the poet describes the tree when she is at home and when abroad. Do you find the descriptions different?

Given the
nature of the poem, I think that the descriptions have to be different than one another.  The
reality is that the poem is one of nostalgia, a feeling in the present that the past's
significance is something missing in the modern setting.  The lens of nostalgia is what colors
the speaker's perception of the tree in the modern setting.  The description of the tree in
lands far off is significantly different than what was experienced because of the reality that
what is present now is a reality that is not able to encompass the meaning of the tree from the
past.  The tree's laments and cries of pain is what makes the tree different from then and now,
a description that embraces the nostalgic view of the tree and what it comes to represent to the
speaker.  In this, the tree's power and significance is one driven by the tendency of nostalgia
and the idea of how our past is something not to return.  The difference in descriptions also
bring to light how the elements in our present that can link us to our past are beyond precious
as they enable us to reach back into a period of time that has long since passed.  For the
speaker, the description of the tree's laments and cries are significant to the extent that the
tree will no longer be able to serve in the present the function it served in the past.  The
differences in description highlights the importance of nostalgia, a condition that makes life
in the present more bearable with the understanding of a past increasing in significance and
meaning.

In what ways does McGahern make the relationship between father and son memorable in "The Stoat"?

In s
story, one interesting feature about the sons relationship with his father is that he is
actually closer to his fathers brother. The young man, who is the storys narrator, has decided
to study medicine because his uncle promoted this career; his father, who is a teacher, had
wanted him to become a banker. The gaps in understanding between father and son, which were
clearly present before the storys action begins, grow deeper as the father decides to
remarry.

As his fathers plans progress, a woman called Miss McCabe is
identified as a potential match; she is also a teacher. She comes to visit the Irish village
where they are staying, and moves into the cottage where the son formerly stayed with his
father, so he must now live in a hotel. The link between this physical distance and the
emotional distance is shown by the sons reaction to see his father with his new girlfriend on
his arm. This closeness makes him realize that Miss McCabe is a person, not an abstraction, and
from now on will be part of his fathers life.

When she shows generosity
toward the son, in the form of potentially supporting his future studies, rather than gratitude
he expresses his loyalty to his uncle. Ironically, the aspiring physician cannot help the ailing
woman, who has a heart condition and suffers a serious heart attack. This incident causes the
father to abandon her, showing that the son had overreacted and his father was not as
emotionally committed as he had believed. Perhaps father and son are actually alike, sharing a
lack of sentimentality.

Trace Winston's path toward destruction. Where do we first see his fatalistic outlook? Is his defeat inevitable?

's
fatalistic from the get-go, and with good reason too. There's simply no way that he, or any
other individual in Oceania, can ever prevail against the forces of this totalitarian state. But
Winston's nothing if not courageous. And if he's to go downwhich he knows is inevitablehe'll go
down fighting. In a state where everyone is under suspicion, and all Outer Party members like
Winston are under almost constant surveillance, it doesn't take much for someone to be slung in
a prison camp or vaporized. So Winston probably figures that if this is indeed his fate in any
event, then he might as well show some defiance to a regime which he cordially
loathes.

Winston's innate fatalism is almost like a death-wish. It leads him
on to take increasingly dangerous risks, almost guaranteeing himself a trip to Room 101. Winston
knows from the very start that he's guilty because in Oceania everyone is
guilty of something, whether it's a thought-crime or, more rarely, a deliberate act

How does Kit change from the beginning to the end of the story in The Witch of Blackbird Pond?

Kit
goes through an amazing amount of transformation over the course of . When
readers are first introduced to Kit, she is a bit self-centered and entitled. Neither of those
traits are very endearing, but those traits make sense because Kit has been living an
aristocratic life in Barbados. Her every need is taken care of by either servants or money. When
she comes to Wethersfield, Kit simply does not fit in. Her fancy dresses, lack of religious
knowledge, and clear lack of experience with hard work make Kit a classic fish out of
water.

Fortunately, Kit is a determined young woman. She is not at any point
someone who wallows in their situation. While Kit might not know exactly how to do all of the
chores and has no experience with them, she isn't afraid of trying. As she gets to know the
community, Kit matures into a character that is willing to look past her own needs to the needs
of others. It's why she is so willing to help out when everybody starts getting...

What is the setting of the book The Color of Water by James McBride? Throughout the book, the setting, where and when it took place.

This is a
difficult question to answer simply because it is a multi-generational story which covers lots
of time and places. was written by , and it is an autobiographical journey
both of his life and his mother's life.

James McBride is one of twelve
children and grows up in Brooklyn, New York in the sixties and seventies. He spends most of his
life through adolescence either there or in Queens. His mother moves them to Delaware during his
high school years. To be a bit more specific, though, he does not generally attend school
in Brooklyn or Queens when he lives there. His mother sends him to whatever school she can in
order to improve his chances at a superior education. He attends Oberlin College.

Ruth McBride, the author's mother, was born in Poland and lives in Manhattan when her
family comes to America. Her father is an itinerant rabbi, so the family moves around a lot when
Ruth is young. When she is eight or nine, her family settles in Suffolk, Virginia. Later she
leaves and goes to Manhattan and finally ends up in Brooklyn, Queens, and Delaware, as outlined
above. Her husband's family is from the South, so she does spend some time there.

When James begins to trace his mother's history, he, too, spends some time in
Suffolk.

Like so many of us, the McBrides spend their time in many places
over the years.

In Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, examine Marlows attitude toward the Africans. Is there any evidence that he is condescending toward them?...

In 's
, I do not find any sense thatis condescending toward the Africans. If
anything, he is appalled at how the Europeans treat the natives. If he has difficulty with
anyone, it is with the agents of the Company who see themselves as a vastly superior race, while
exhibiting a total disregard for the population they have enslaved.

A

European culture and technology in order to become more evolved.

burden" shows just how superior Europeans saw themselves by comparison to the indigenous
people of the Congo. King Leopold II of Belgium decided there was great wealth to be had in
Africaso he established a colony there, and his agents "raped" the land and its
people.

With reference to Paul Zindel's The Pigman, why would one say that John is conceited?

When people are
considered to be conceited, it means that they think very highly of themselves, which
could refer to intellect as well as appearance. In Zindel's , John speaks
very highly about himself in many different situations. Whether he speaks about himself
individually, or whether he compares himself to others like Norton or Dennis, John's confidence
in himself is not humbly concealed. For example, it is fine that Lorraine says that John is
handsome, but John explicitly agrees with her at the beginning of Chapter Three.

People who are conceited may also show forth a sense of entitlement; that is to say,
they feel they deserve good things in life, or they feel they can do whatever they want to do.
For instance, when Mr. Pignati buys them all roller skates, John puts them on in the store and
skates around a public place. Lorraine says the following about him, which completely describes
a conceited person:

"All John was doing was opening
his arms and in his own way saying: 'Look at me, world! Look at my life and energy and how glad
I am to be alive!'" (97).

How is Abigail Williams manipulative in The Crucible?

describes Abigail Williams as having an "endless capacity for dissembling," and she
proceeds to manipulate the town's authority figures while rising to the top of Salems social
hierarchy. Abigail initially displays her manipulative personality in act one by shifting the
blame to Tituba and accusing her of conjuring spirits. Although Abigail drank blood in an
attempt to put an evil spell on Elizabeth, she blames Tituba for forcing her to participate in
the ritual before and accusing Sarah Good, Goody Osburn, and Bridget Bishop of witchcraft.
Abigail cleverly manipulates Salem's authority figures to avoid being punished for dancing in
the woods.

Abigail once again displays her manipulative nature by
threatening the girls to corroborate her story and accusing Elizabeth of attempted murder. After
witnessing Mary Warren craft a poppet in court, Abigail proceeds to stab herself with a needle
and makes it seem like Elizabeth used the poppet as a malevolent voodoo doll.

What do we mean by the Resurrection (in context of Theology-Christianity-Jesus)?

from the dead. They believe that the death and resurrection of Christ was predicted in the Old
Testament and carried out and fulfilled in the New Testament. 

More
specifically, Christians believe that the resurrection was literal. Jesus really died and rose

victim of fate. The gods decree when he

People in Oedipus's life try to exercise free will
in
various ways to escape this curse. His parents, for instance, try to exert
their wills by having
their infant son exposed at birth so he will die. This
way, he will have no chance to grow up

What are examples of cosmic irony in Oedipus Rex?

Cosmic is simply the irony of fate, and if there's one thing that
is about, it's fate.

's downfall is directly related to
his inability to comprehend the role of fate in mortals's lives and how it is manipulated by the
gods for their own ends. Oedipus acts as if he can defy fate, even after he's been explicitly
warned of the consequences of his actions by the blind seer, . Of course, he can't outsmart
fate, and the end result of his stubborn defiance is the exact opposite of what he'd expected;
this is what makes it ironic. Every step that Oedipus takes to try to avoid his fatesuch as
attempting to get to the bottom of how his father was killedonly brings him nearer to his
eventual doom.

Was appeasement a mistake in WWII?

I
would certainly argue that appeasement was a mistake.  I suppose you could argue that it was a
mistake before WWII and not a mistake in
that war.  However, it seems hard to say that appeasement was anything but a
mistake.

Appeasement was the process in which the British and the French, in
particular, allowed Hitler to violate the Treat of Versailles and, eventually, to take over
other countries, without resisting him.  They allowed Hitler to do so because they did not want
a war. They hoped that Hitler would soon be satisfied and would then stop his aggressive
behavior.

Appeasement was a mistake because it did not prevent war.  Instead,
it only postponed the war, which was actually a bad thing. Postponing the war was a bad thing
because all it did was to give Hitler time to increase his power. When Hitler started violating
the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was still rather weak.  The French and the British could
easily have invaded Germany at that point and defeated Hitler.  If they had done so, the Nazi
government would probably have fallen and the world might have been spared WWII and the
Holocaust.  Instead, the allies appeased Hitler and gave him time in which Germany could rearm
and become a real power.  Once the Allies decided that they actually had to fight, the German
military was extremely strong and was able to rampage through Western Europe during the
Blitzkrieg.  This could have been avoided if the Allies had not appeased Hitler.

There is nothing wrong with avoiding war.  However, when you fail to actually avoid war
and, instead, you only postpone it until your enemy is stronger than you, you have made a
terrible mistake.

Who is Gretel and why does Bruno refer to her as the "Hopeless Case"?

"The
Hopeless Case" is the title of the third chapter of the book. It is in this chapter that we
get to know Gretel, Brunos twelve-year-old sister, and gain some insight into their
relationship. As Bruno says, Gretel is nothing but trouble. He has heard people say that she
has been Trouble From Day One. As Brunos older sister, Gretel often bosses him around and
makes it clear that she is in charge. Bruno is a little scared of her and sees no way for her
attitude toward him to change. That is why he calls her The Hopeless Case. A hopeless case is a
person who can no longer be helped. Bruno sees Gretel as hopeless because he believes that they
will never get along as a brother and sister. In their new home at Out-With, Bruno and Gretel
are tutored by Herr Leitz, who teaches them Nazi ideologies. Although he remains skeptical of
the teachings, his sister begins heavily supporting the Nazi cause, which irritates Bruno even
more and makes her more of a hopeless case to him

What is the role or function of the Chorus in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex?

Tamara K. H.

The in represents the
Theban elders. The 's interest lies purely in protecting the city;
and with this interest in mind, the chorus shows great respect and admiration for their king, ,
and also great reverence for the gods. Also, with the interests of the city in mind, they

understanding of humanity than Oedipus does.

In each ode, the

well aware that the citizens of Thebes need the gods' protection in order to be healed from
their current plague. The chorus portrays its belief in the gods' power and calls on the gods to

You are a consultant to an organization experiencing considerable change as a result of a major layoff. You learn that most of the remaining employees...

The first
thing that you can do to help the management is to review the company goals with them. How does
change help the company achieve its goals? The company could be laying off workers because it
wants to reduce costs.

The second thing is to look at how the change affects
employees. In this case, most employees are resistant to change because they dont know their
fate. Most of them are afraid that they might lose their jobs.

The third
thing that you have to do is communicate with the employees. Let them know which departments
will be affected by the change. Hold a meeting with them and let them ask you questions. The
management should answer those questions honestly. Communication helps the employees feel at
ease with the entire process.

Let the employees know that the organization
will train them on the changes. You should also let them know that you will be there to help
them adapt to the changes.

To avoid a repeat of the same behavior, make sure
that you review the process after implementing it. You need to know what works and what doesnt
so that you can improve the change process.

In chapter 15, how does the scene outside the Maycomb County Jail portray the theme of innocence?

portrays the theme of innocence during the scene outside of Maycomb's jailhouse by depicting 's
naive perspective and lack of understanding. When Scout runs out of her hiding spot into the
group of men surrounding , she has no idea that she has entered an extremely dangerous
environment. Scout is completely unaware that she is standing in the middle of a lynch mob
consisting of drunken men who are willing to harm Atticus in order to kill Tom Robinson. When
Scout recognizes Walter Cunningham Jr.'s father, she casually attempts to have a conversation
with him and is perplexed by his dismissive nature. After Scout brings up his entailment and
speaks highly of his son, Walter Cunningham finally sympathizes with Atticus and acknowledges
Scout. He then instructs the lynch mob to leave, and no one is harmed during the
ordeal.

Scout's lack of perspective and naive personality contribute to
Harper Lee's theme of innocence, which runs throughout the novel. Scout's innocence prevents her
from recognizing that she is in a dangerous situation and blinds her from realizing the group's
violent intentions. During the scene, Scout continues to speak casually to Walter Cunningham and
does not understand the gravity of the situation. After the lynch mob leaves, Scout wonders why
Atticus seems proud of , despite his disobedience. Scout is too young and naive to realize that
Atticus is proud of Jem for demonstrating his loyalty and refusing to
leave.

When Tokchae and Songsam start taking a walk together, what does that show?

Tokchae and Songsam walk together through
most of the story "." The two men are on different sides of a conflict, and Tokchae is
Songsam's prisoner. Songsam agrees to escort Tokchae to Ch'ongdan. I think he volunteers because
the two men used to be boyhood friends, and Songsam wants to know why Tokchae didn't flee the
same way that he did.

Songsam had had to flee the previous
June. At night he had broken the news privately to his father. But his father had said the same
thing: "Where could a farmer go, leaving all the chores behind?" So Songsam had left
alone.

During the walk, the men encounter items that are
symbolic of the men's childhood together. The first item in the story that triggers a memory for
Songsam is chestnuts. They remind him of when Tokchae willingly gave up his own stash of
chestnuts for his friend. The second item that triggers a memory is a field filled with
cranes.

When they reached the foot of the hill, Songsam
gradually came to a halt. In the middle of a field he espied a group of cranes that resembled
men in white, all bent over.

The cranes remind Songsam of
the time when he and Tokchae caught a crane and thought they were going to get into big trouble
because of it.  The two boys freed the crane and watched it majestically fly away. It's after
remembering this event that Songsam asks Tokchae if he would like to go crane hunting. Songsam
turns his back and begins looking deep into the underbrush. Tokchae finally realizes that his
friend from long ago is giving him the chance to escape like the crane from their
childhood.

Hey, how come you are standing there like a
dummy? Go flush a crane!

Only then did Tokchae understand. He began crawling
through the weeds.

I feel that the crane is symbolic of
freedom and beauty. As for the walk itself, I believe that it shows that true friendship runs
deep. Songsam remembers their friendship, and I think he wants to reconnect on some level.
That's why he volunteers to be the escort. It's during the walk that all of the deep, meaningful
memories are triggered. The walk is what triggers all of the memories for Songsam. Those
memories give him the confidence and the desire to set his friend free.

How did the Yelnats family believe they were cursed, and how was the curse broken?

The
Yelnats' family curse was originally placed
on their
"no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather" by
Madame Zeroni. The
curse is a bad luck curse. The Yelnats family consistently
has bad luck and finds themselves in
the wrong place at the wrong time. This
is why Stanley winds up being blamed and punished for a
crime he did not
commit and is sent to Camp Green Lake. Madame Zeroni placed the curse on

Stanley's great-great-grandfather for failing to carry out his promise to carry her up
a
specific mountain. The curse is finally broken when Stanley saves Zero's
life (as well as his
own) and carries him up that particular mountain. The
reason that this action broke the family
curse is because Zero is Madame
Zeroni's descendant. His real name is Hector Zeroni, and chapter
50 shows
readers evidence of the curse being broken by having the Yelnats family end up
with
great wealth.

In "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings," how do the fantastic elements help provide insights into the way human beings actually think and behave?

What this story reveals
above all else through the fantastical elements is the ceaseless human need to derive meaning
from events, even when meaning itself is very hard to come by. Marquez uses the fantastical
appearance of a figure who is, to all intents and purposes, an angel, who literally drops into a
community. He then records the different theories and ways in which the villagers try to explain
his presence and what this might mean. Note how the villagers have different interpretations of
the angel and his sudden appearance:

The simplest among
them thought that he should be named mayor of the world. Others of sterner mind felt that he
should be promoted to the rank of five-star general in order to win all wars. Some visionaries
hoped that he could be put to stud in order to implant the earth a race of winged wise men who
could take charge of the universe.

All of them come up
with some different interpretation, no matter how erroneous, and even learned men such as Father
Gonzalo are shown to be none the wiser as they seek to impose a very narrow, rigid understanding
of the angel and his significance. This could be viewed as Marquez very gently playing with his
audience. He deliberately drops in an element to his story that clearly demands some symbolic
interpretation, but then he goes on to deny any clear signals as to what that symbolic
interpretation may be. The reader is placed in the same position as the villagers and as a
result is left to be mocked by his or her own desire to come up with a solution as to what the
angel might represent. Marquez therefore presents human beings as needing to find
meaning in things that happen, no matter whether there is any meaning to be found or
not.

How can I figure out the number of neutrons without knowing the mass number?

An
atom contains protons, neutrons and electrons. Out of these particles, only protons and neutrons
add to the mass of the atom, since electrons are relatively massless (they have very little mass
as compared to protons and neutrons). We can determine the number of neutrons by knowing the
mass number and atomic number (which is equal to the number of protons) of an
element. 

Mass number = number of neutrons + number of protons 

= number of neutrons + atomic number

Thus, number of neutrons = mass
number - atomic number

The atomic number of an element is available from the
periodic table of elements. 

If the mass number is not given to us, we can
still calculate the number of neutrons by determining the atomic mass of the element. This value
is also available from the periodic table of elements. All the elements are listed in the
periodic table with two numbers. The number on the top is the atomic number, while the number
near the bottom is the atomic mass. 

The atomic mass is the weighted average
mass of all the isotopes of an element. If we round off the atomic mass to the nearest whole
number and subtract the atomic number from it, we get the number of neutrons.

That is, number of neutrons = atomic mass (rounded to nearest whole number) - atomic
number.

For example, Carbon has an atomic number of 6 and an atomic mass of
12.0107. 

Thus, the number of neutrons in a carbon atom is:

12 (rounded off to nearest whole number) - 6 =
6.

Hope this helps.

What factors led to the rise of right wing authoritarian regime in Europe in 1919-1939?

To add to
what was already stated, and an important fact that is almost always overlooked when looking at
20th century Germany is that the United States kept the Weimar Republic afloat during the
1920s.  The US was able to do this because they never actually signed the Treat of Versailles.
By the mid 1920s the nation was well on the way to recovery.  This was one of the major reasons
that Hitler was not able to get a foothold during his Beer Hall Putsch.

However, when our economy crashed along with the stock market, we could no longer send
money over to Germany.  Without the American money, the Weimar quickly crumbled and Hitler was
able to gain his foothold, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Comparing the Governor's garden with gardens in Old England, what is significant about the difference in The Scarlet Letter?

In Chapter VII
of asawaits her audience with the governor,looks along a garden walk
and sees, not the ornamental gardening of the English, but a more practical one.  For, cabbages
and pumpkin vines are present, along with a few rose-bushes and several apple trees, which the
narrator believes may have been planted by the first settler, the Reverend Mr.
Blackstone.

Much like the Puritan faith that rejected, among doctines, the
ornamentation of the Anglican Church, the lives of Puritans are strict and simplified, stripped
of frivolity, like the governor's garden.  In Chapter XXI, "The New England Holiday,"
Hawthorne reflects,

But we perhaps exaggerate the grey or
sable tinge, which undoubtedly characterised the mood and manners of the age.

The "grey gloom" of the Puritans on this day is replaced
with a "dim reflection of a remembered splendor."  Similar to the plain and functional
garden of the governor that Pearl observes in Chapter VII, the decorative beauty of the old
country from which the Massachusetts colony people have come is all but forgotten and in its
place is the strict and colorless practicality of life.
