How are Zeus and Odysseus similar? How are they different?

Zeus and
Odysseus are both Kings (Zeus reigns over the Gods on Olympus while Odysseus reigns over Ithaca)
and both have certain martial qualities. Odysseus fought in the Trojan War, whereas Greek
cosmology itself plays out in a series of armed struggles, so Zeus does find himself forced to
show a militaristic side to himself. First he has to overcome the Titans in a violent struggle,
and then he has to overthrow later challenges to his rule: for example, the war against the
Giants and the struggle against Typhon. For both Zeus and Odysseus, power is expressed through
military valor and fighting ability.

FavoriteThings has already spoken about
their many infidelities, so I won't repeat that. The one last thing I would add, however, is the
power of fate and prophesy in the Greek mythology: ultimately, for all their power, the gods
themselves tend to be subject to fate. In this, both Zeus and Odysseus are similar: Odysseus is
ultimately at the mercy against forces beyond his ability to...

What are the similarities between Boo Radley and Tom Robinson in Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird?

Bothand
Tom Robinson are outsiders in Maycomb, albeit for different reasons. Tom, as an African
American, occupies a lowly place in Southern society, reinforced by an apparatus of systemic
legal and economic oppression. Prejudice determines his fate, finding him guilty of a crime he
could not possibly have committed before he has even set foot inside the courtroom. And one of
the biggest problems with prejudice is that it's stubbornly resistant to the facts. The
prosecution has no case to speak of, andhas all the relevant facts on his side. But so strong,
so deeply ingrained is the level of racial prejudice in Maycomb that Tom cannot hope to get a
fair trial, despite Atticus's best efforts.

Boo's identity has also been
constructed out of prejudice, imposed upon him by the ignorance and lack of understanding of the
townsfolk. Years of gossip, hearsay and idle talk has turned Boo into Maycomb's resident
boogeyman. The less people know about him, the more they spin ever...

What's the purpose of the trip the two travelers are taking in "Hills Like White Elephants?"

The American
and Jig have been leading a casual lifestyle in which they travel leisurely and party. As Jig
notes, 

"I wanted to try this new drink. That's all
we do, isn't it--look at things and try new drinks?" 

Because they are so casual, there is a certain lack of significant commitment. This is
particularly revealed on the American's part when he tries to convince Jig to have the abortion
while she tries to look at the benefits of having and not having the baby. So, the reason for
their trip is that it is just the kind of life they'd been leading. However, the trip might also
be an opportunity for them to discuss the possibility of having the baby. The American is
pushing for an abortion, mostly so he/they can continue with this casual lifestyle. Jig, on the
other hand, is more thoughtful and wants to consider both options. It is likely that the
American had it in mind to use this trip as an opportunity to argue his point that having the
abortion will allow them to continue with the lifestyle they'd been leading: 

"We'll be fine afterward. Just like we were
before." 

1. Why did Toby ask Mrs. Granger to explain what an oracle was? What happened as a result?

Hello!
Toby originally asked Mrs. Granger to explain what an oracle was because he knew that a test was
scheduled for the end of the period. Toby reasoned that Mrs. Granger, who was fond of
long-winded explanations, would take up much of the time expounding on a subject she 'could
really get her teeth into.' Thus, the test would be forgotten. However, Toby did not bargain for
the fact that his scheme...

How do Romeo and Juliet react to each other when they meet at the party in Romeo and Juliet?

Whenfirst meet in
act 1, scene 5, their reaction is a positive one. In fact, they flirt with each other and kiss,
which suggests that they are quickly falling in love.

Moments before their
meeting,sawacross the room and admired her beauty. In fact, he claims he has never seen
"true beauty" until this point, suggesting Romeo's feelings for Juliet far outweigh
those he had for Rosaline.

When they come face to face, Romeo takes Juliet's
hand and compares it to a shrine (holy place). He also compares his lips to two pilgrims. This
holysuggests that Romeo has indeed fallen in love. For him, meeting Juliet is like undergoing a
spiritual experience. He feels that he is not worthy to touch her because she is so beautiful
and special.

Juliet is flattered by Romeo and reciprocates his feelings. The
pair kiss, but are interrupted by the arrival of the Nurse.

This meeting is
significant because it lays the foundation for their love. They become so consumed by
love...

Describe the Montresor family arms. What significance do they have in the story?

In Edgar
Allen Poes short story , Montresors coat of arms and family motto accurately reflect his
violent character and foreshadow his cruel actions. The coat of arms is described by Montresor
as,

A huge human foot dor, in a field azure; the foot
crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel.

This image of a giant golden foot crushing a serpent that has bitten the heel is
interesting because it indicates that the Montresor family is violent and will crush those who
oppose or offend them. Montresor also reminds his guest of the Montresor family motto,
Nemo me impune lacessit. The rough translation of this Latin phrase is,
no one attacks me with impunity. Based on the family crest, it is unwise to cross the
Montresor family!

To fully understand the significance of this symbolism and
the narrators cruelty, it is important to revisit Montresors rationale for murdering Fortunato.
In the opening lines of the story, the narrator reveals,

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured
upon insult, I vowed revenge.

The implication is that
Fortunato has repeatedly insulted the Montresor family in some unspecified manner. When
Montresor cruelly buries Fortunato alive in the vaults of the family home, his actions mirror
his coat of arms and adhere to the family-values of the crest.

I hope this
helps!

Make an argument that Progressivism either did or didn't have a positive lasting impact on America. Historians disagree about the lasting impact of...

I would
say that Progressivism did make an impact on America because it changed how capitalism was
viewed.  Much of Progressivism dealt with the idea that capitalism, as an economic order, had to
have some changes to it in order to account for all of American citizens' interests to be heard
and met.  Progressivism was successful in ensuring that the issues of working class individuals,
industrialist greed, and the idea of bringing out "how the other half lives" becomes a
permanent part of the American political, social, and economic lexicon.  In demanding voices to
be heard, Progressivism ensured that American thought would always incorporate the voice of
those who might not readily and openly be heard and acknowledged.  In this light, I would say
that while the movement sought to do much more, it accomplished a great deal in what was
done.

What is the difference between a democracy, a republic and a federation?

world,
they are the same thing.  In theory a democracy is a system in which the

I agree
with all the above.  The choices, though, are endless, and I have no idea what you might already
have read.  I'll add my recommendations to your list; this is a partial list of works that
probably should have been read sometime between 8th or 9th grade and the end of your junior

Animal Farm

The Old
Man and the Sea

The Pearl

Lord of the Flies

The

The Scarlet Letter

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Great

A Tale of Two Cities

The Grapes of Wrath

Beowulf

Jane Eyre or

Why was the Vietnam War viewed differently from previous wars the United States had fought? The Vietnam War alienated many young people during the...

I do not
agree with most of the points made in the first two answers.  They are true, but they do not
make the Vietnam War different than other wars.

The war was not the first one
that was vigorously opposed by people within the country.  The War of 1812 led to talk of
secession in New England.  The Mexican-American War was strongly opposed by Abraham Lincoln and
most other Northerners who opposed the spread of slavery.  The draft in the Civil War caused
riots so big in New York City that troops who had just finished fighting at Gettysburg were
rushed to the city to suppress them (and there were other riots as well).

Propaganda was on both sides during the Revolution, the Mexican-American War, and the
Civil War.

To me, the third answer is most correct.  This was the first war
fought under both of two conditions:

• The war was not
  "necessary" in that the US had not been attacked (unlike WWII)


• More importantly, US society was much more individualistic and self-centered than it
  had been before.

When you combine these two (along with the TV
aspect cited in the first answer) you get discontent.  The mass of Americans were, by this time,
much more aggressive about personal rights and privileges than they ever had been before and
that is why the protest was so much more widespread than in any other war.

In the Odyssey by Homer, what is Athena's role?

Athena
plays a prominent role in and functions as Odysseus's guardian goddess,
helping him to return safely to Ithaca and rid his palace of the suitors.

Athena initially expresses her concerns for Odysseus by petitioning Zeus to intervene
on his behalf. Zeus listens to Athena and instructs Calypso to let Odysseus leave her island.
Athena then disguises herself as Mentor and visits Telemachus. She advises Telemachus to travel
to Pylos and Sparta to gather information about his father's whereabouts. The goddess also helps
Telemachus escape Ithaca unscathed and visits Penelope in a dream to ease her mind about her
son's journey.

In addition to helping Telemachus on his journey and
intervening on Odysseus's behalf to escape Calypso's island, she proceeds to calm the
treacherous seas and visits princess Nausikaa in a dream to set up a meeting between her and
Odysseus. Athena then enhances Odysseus's appearance to make him admirable to the Phaeacians,
who provide him with a swift...

Is a particular cultural movement an important influence on the story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find"?

The
particular cultural movement that is important to the plot of the story is the increase in car
traveland especially the family vacation by carduring the 1950s.

During World
War II, gas was rationed, so families were not taking car trips. Before that, during the Great
Depression, road trips by car were also not widespread: people were often very poor and couldn't
afford to take vacations. Further, up until President Eisenhower started a highway program to
improve the roads, many were in poor condition. This is still true to some extent in the story,
when the family heads off the beaten path, but before that point they seem to be traveling on
good, well-paved roadways complete with places to stop and get lunch.

If the
grandmother and her family were not part of the cultural desire to take the individual family
car trip, they would not have all been in the car together, and they also would not have been
isolated when the car flipped over in the ditch, turning a comic family vacation into a
nightmare.

What is Beneatha's role in "A Raisin In The Sun"?

The play presents a family, the Youngers, and allows us to
observe their family dynamic as they try to decide how to spend the inheritance left behind by
the deceasedYounger Sr.

Younger is probably the most ambitious of the
Younger family. While all of the family members have dreams and goals, Beneatha's aspiration to
become a doctor seems the boldest and most purposeful. Hers is the goal that most challenges the
norms of race and gender at the time the play is set. Her mother wants a bigger home so the
family can have room to spread out and grow. This is a noble goal, but a mother wishing for a
home is an aspiration that fits right into what we might expect of a family matriarch. Her
brother Walter Jr. wants to open a liquor store. He is very excited about his dream and thinks
it will allow his family to benefit in the long run. He also feels it will give him confidence
and self-esteem. Walter seems to resent Beneatha's education and her dream of...

Who is Dee's boyfriend in "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker?

In 's
"," Dee's boyfriend is "a short, stocky man...." with hair that is
"...all over his head a foot long and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail." 
He greets the mother and Maggie with a Muslim salutation--"Asalamalakim"--that means
"Peace be with you," according to the notes in the text I'm reading from.  He is
"all grinning" as he does so.  He tries to shake hands with Maggie but Maggie's hand
is all limp and he looks like he is trying to shake hands in a fancy way, or like he doesn't
really know how to shake hands, according to the mother/narrator.

His name
contains numerous syllables and the mother has trouble pronouncing it, so he tells her to just
call him "Hakim-a-barber."  He doesn't eat pork.  This, together with the greeting he
uses suggests he is Muslim.

What's most important about the boyfriend,

What struggles did the North face at the beginning of the Civil War?

One of
the struggles that the North had to contend with was that many peoplemainly Northern
Democratswere dead set against the war. They felt that some kind of political compromise
could've been achieved with the South on the fraught issue of slavery without the need for armed
conflict. Though never more than a minority, Northern opponents of the war were nonetheless
large enough and vocal enough to act as a constant thorn in the side of the Lincoln
Administration.

As the Civil War dragged on, becoming ever more bloody in the
process, anti-war sentiment in the North increased, leading to full-scale draft and race riots
in Northern cities. Yet it's important to recognize that the attitudes which gave rise to these
serious public disturbances were always there right from the start, bubbling away just beneath
the surface.

What are some important quotes from chapters 13-16 in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Aunt Alexandra
shows up to live with her brother and his children in . One of her biggest agendas is to
teachandabout their family history and how important the Finch name is to Maycomb County. In
addition to this knowledge, she wants them to also learn to behave like a gentleman and a lady.
She sendsin to talk to the kids when her efforts don't seem to be helping them as she would
like. Atticus says the following:

"Gentle breeding. .
. She asked me to tell you you must try to behave like the little lady and gentleman that you
are. She wants to talk to you about the family and what it's meant to Maycomb County through the
years, so you'll have some idea of who you are, so you might be moved to behave
accordingly" (133).

This passage is important
because it is a big part of the children's life once Aunt Alexandra enters their life. There are
many other discussions about "gentle breeding" and everything that goes with it
throughout the book.

How do the narrator's changing states of consciousness affect the story?

changing states of consciousness
to create mystery and suspense in the

everything they are saying or who the people are. This creates an aura of mystery right

In The Epic of Gilgamesh, how can the tragedy of mortality be discussed?

The entire text is
consumed with the
search of Gilgamesh for immortality. He is a larger than life character who
is
obsessed with not dying, and who endangers his own life happily in the
hope of gaining
immortality. In the end, Gilgamesh is a character who does
not gain immortality but learns
wisdom, and part of the wisdom that he learns
is the acceptance of mortality, but this is a
lesson that is hard to learn
and it is one that Gilgamesh has to personally confront when his
friend and
erstwhile sidekick, Enkidu, dies. Note how Gilgamesh grieves his friend's

death:

The paths going up to and down
from the
forest of cedars
All mourn you: the weeping does not end
day or night.

Gilgamesh has to realise
that all men, including himself, die at
some point in their lives, and that
the only response in the face of such mortality is to live
life as happily
and merrily as one is able to, as he learns from Siduri, the goddess of

wine-making. Theof mortality is thus expressed in the way that Gilgamesh sets out at
the
beginning of this epic classic to gain immortality but is forced to
confront the mortality of
man through the death of his best friend and his
own mortality, moving towards an acceptance of
his own state as a thoroughly
mortal being.

The Open Window Conflict

Framton
Nuttel is here at the Sappletons' country home only because he is suffering from what he calls a
"nervous disorder." He is looking for the peace and quiet he expects the English
countryside to provide. Vera is young and in perfect physical and mental condition. It is Vera
who causes all the uproar. She is trying to "spook" Framton with a ghost story, and he
would be resistant to believing in the truth of her story because he is an adult and should know
that such things do not really happen. So it might be said that the conflict involves Vera's
efforts to make Framton believe that the three hunters, when they appear outside the open
window, will be ghosts returning from the bog where they were sucked down three years
earlier.

The open window is the first piece of evidence Vera uses to persuade
Framton of the truth of her story. There can be no doubt that the tall window must be standing
open to admit someone who is expected to enter from outside. Vera knows her aunt so well that
she knows almost word for word what the rather eccentric woman will say when she appears. Mrs.
Sappleton substantiates part of Vera's ghost story by explaining that she is waiting for her
husband and her two younger brothers to return from hunting through that open window. This is
what Vera has already told Framton--except that Vera told him her aunt has been waiting for
these men for three years! 

Vera's objective has not yet been realized. Then
Mrs. Sappleton, as the girl expected, contributes to the desired final effect.

Here they are at last! she cried. Just in time for tea, and dont
they look as if they were muddy up to the eyes!

Framton
is facing Mrs. Sappleton and cannot see the open window. Still clinging to his fragile
composure, Framton turns to look at Vera to show he understands what a trial her aunt must be
with her constant waiting for her husband's return. But Vera is using her acting talent to
create the effect she desires.

Framton shivered slightly
and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey sympathetic comprehension. The child
was staring out through the open window with dazed horror in her eyes. In a chill shock of
nameless fear Framton swung round in his seat and looked in the same direction. In the deepening
twilight three figures were walking across the lawn towards the window; they all carried guns
under their arms. . .

Framton Nuttel is the perfect
victim for this mischievous girl. His reaction may be even better than she expected. He is
already a nervous wreck, and the sight of three approaching men who must be ghosts is too much.
He goes running out of the house and up the country road in a panic. The fact that these
"ghosts" all have guns makes them all the more terrifying. 

Why
does Vera want to frighten poor Framton? She is bored with her confinement to this isolated
house where nobody ever talks about anything but shooting birds. She is young and would like to
have a little variety and a little excitement in her life. In fact, she wants just the opposite
of what Framton wants. 

The doctors agree in ordering me
complete rest, an absence of mental excitement, and avoidance of anything in the nature of
violent physical exercise, announced Framton, who labored under the tolerably wide-spread
delusion that total strangers and chance acquaintances are hungry for the least detail of ones
ailments and infirmities, their cause and cure.

From the point of view of the US, WWII was a good war. Thinking beyond our own economy, why was this true?

There are at

First, the war made the United States the

But it was also due to the fact that the US was the sole remaining major power other than the
Soviet Union.  Countries that feared communist...

What lesson did you learn from the story?Give an example from the story that showed you this(describe the part of the story)? What lesson did you...

One
of the paramount lessons to be learned is to value individuality over blind conformity. This
story pits exuberant individuality against extreme conformity and tracks how individuality
enlivens conformity, bringing inspiration and new vision to conformity. The story also shows
that extremism in any direction--trying to adopted ways that are alien to you, likedid for
Jason; group rule mentality; enthusiastically crossing social boundaries without sensibility and
perception, like Stargirl did with the opponent basketball player--may be construed as action
without thought or regard for consequences and may be seen as counterproductive to the
adaptation to each other of the opposing qualities of individuality and conformity:
counterproductive of a synthesis of approaches to life that opens the way to acceptance,
creativity and responsiveness.

In "Rappaccini's Daughter" by Hawthorne, what is the unusual relationship between Beatrice and the purple shrub?

The
purple shrub is the poisonous plant Rappaccini created and used to "nourish" his
daughter, Beatrice, as the basis of his perverse experiment. It's therefore a kind of sister to
Beatrice; or, perhaps the symbolism with which Hawthorne invests it is more that of a lover to
her. She loves the plant, embraces it, and draws a kind of strength from it, because she is made
of the same substance: poison. It resembles Beatrice in its beauty as well as in its deadly
qualities.

The plant, of course, is also an analogue to the Tree of Knowledge
in the garden of Eden, and Hawthorne explicitly describes Rappaccini's garden as an Eden.
Rappaccini's whole scheme, ostensibly, has been to create a woman with a special quality that
will set her apart from everyone else. She is, then, a kind of artificial being, like the
creature in Frankenstein and the mechanical doll Olympia in E. T. A.
Hoffmann's "The Sandman." Rappaccini observes that, in infecting
Giovanni with same poison she's filled with, Beatrice no longer needs to be isolated from the
whole world: she now has a partner in the exalted status he intended her to have.

The experiment of Rappaccini is an instance of a recurring motif in nineteenth-century
literature, where futuristic science becomes a symbol of man's attempt to transcend earthly
limitations. The experiment then usually backfires, as in Frankenstein and
in The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde.
But the underlying theme in such works is usually to point out something elsea moral
flaw in human behavior, beyond the idea of man's arrogance in thinking he can achieve the
impossible. In Hawthorne's story Beatrice tells Giovanni that it was he who killed her, not the
"antidote" to the poison. His horror of Beatrice when he learns the truth about her is
a , like that which appears in many of Hawthorne's works, of human intolerance. It is similar to
the perfectionism of Aylmer in "" and the rejection of humanity byafter his encounter
with the mysterious stranger.

In "," Hawthorne presents this as
another version of his typical theme of the wrongness of moral judgment. Beatrice is different
from everyone else, an outcast, like Hester in . She's thus emblematic of
anyone who is unfairly judged by the world.

How can you tell if the poem "Annabel Lee" has Gothic elements?

Although
's memorable poem "" does not
immediately come to mind in a gothic sense, it does
contain virtually all of
the elements expected of that style. In literature, the term
"gothic" usually
includes some specific ingredients: a mansion or castle, a women in
need, a
man with a love interest, a shroud of gloom or mystery, and a barbarous or terrible
act.
It is often related to something very old (since Gothic also refers to
17th century
architecture) and often with supernatural references. "Annabel
Lee" certainly contains
all of these traits.

The age is
evident--"It was many and many a year
ago..." Since Annabel lived in a

specifically mentioned. The
love interest between Annabel and the narrator is most obvious, and

How does the theme of man vs. society affect Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil" and "Rappaccini's Daughter"?

It is
important to remember that the theme of man versus society is an external conflict in which
thestruggles against the rules or conventions of the society in which he or she lives. In this
way, the author is often able to criticize that society. Hawthorne was consistently critical of
the Puritan society that had been a part of his family history and the history of the United
States. He sought to show the hypocritical nature of many of the Puritan doctrines. In "
," he shows how the Puritans view original sin. For the Puritans, original sin was not just
the sin that every human inherited from Adam and Eve. They held on to the Calvinist view that
only God knew who was worthy of being saved. Puritans lived as if they were the
"saved." In the story, the black veil is a symbol of the original sin that all humans
have, but it becomes the target of the congregation. In this way, the congregation becomes the
active sinners, the hypocrites who will not...

Explain how employee commitment has enabled employees to be more responsive on the job. How does employee commitment affect supervisors?

Employee
commitment relates to how well
employees engage with their work and how they feel about the jobs
theyre
doing. The problem
is, if someone doesnt enjoy the task theyre assigned,
or
worse, knows theyre not planning on being there in the long run, they will
not care much for the
duties theyre assigned. Because of this, they will
typically disengage and not be very
responsive.

Often
times, crises arise during work that require quick response
times or detailed
intervention. Beyond that, responding to on-the-job duties takes a level of

care for the job you are doing. The less committed one is to their job, the less they
will care
about successfully completing their task or helping the company
much at all. Employees lack of
commitment will put more strain on
supervisors, but if they are committed, they can help make
their job much
smoother by doing their work effectively.

Who is considered a radical in the book Lyddie, and why? Please give supporting information with the answer. Thanks!

A
"radical" is someone who fights strongly against the status quo.  When confronted with
the word,immediately thinks of the Quakers, whom she has found to be "abolitionists, every
one".  At the boarding house at which she Lyddie is staying, Diana
Goss is considered to be a radical.  She is a member of the "Female Labor Reform
Association", which is a union, and her "crime has been to speak out for better
working conditions" for the women who work in the factories.  Lyddie's roommates warn her
about associating with Diana Goss.  Union activity is strongly condemned by the companies that
employ the girls, and the boarding house residents are afraid of the repercussions Lyddie may
have to face if she should become involved with Diana and her politics.

Diana
has shown nothing but kindness to Lyddie, however, taking her under her wing and showing her the
intricacies of operating the dangerous looms at the factory.  Lyddie "had no desire to
anger her roommates, but she was quite set on going to see Diana...she wanted to learn
everything - to become as quietly competent as the tall girl".  Diana gives Lyddie the
materials to write to her family when she first arrives in Lowell, and finds a doctor for her
when she is sick.  The more Lyddie associates with Diana, the more she is overwhelmed by the
sheer goodness of her heart. 

Diana does educate Lyddie about the burgeoning
labor movement, and she invites but never pressures her to participate.  Lyddie discovers that
despite her "radical" bent, Diana's motivation is the welfare of the girls, whom she
looks upon as "sisters".  Diana is a "radical" because she truly believes
that unionization will better their lives (Chapter 9).

 

Which event was most influential in turning American public opinion against Germany?

Most
sources indicate that, even though the US did not join the war until a few years after the fact,
the event that turned American public opinion against Germany was the sinking of the
Lusitania in 1915. The Lusitania was a luxury British
steam-liner, and among the 1,198 that were killed, over 100 of them were US citizens. This
wanton slaughter of civilians completely outraged many countries in the world, and America was
no exception.

Submarine warfare was a completely new innovation at the time
and brought along with it technological implications that completely circumvented the
"Prize Rules" which governed the guidelines of wartime ship capture. America and the
rest of the world saw this violence not only as cruel but almost uncivilized, and American
public opinion was rapidly swayed to a position that was against the Germans'
plight.

What does the pendulum in "The Pit and the Pendulum" actually suggest? Also, what does an old man with a scythe represent?

The pendulum
itself represents two things: the passage of time and death. Pendulums are used in clocks to
determine and mark the passing of each second. As the pendulum swings back and forth, it is like
a countdown. That countdown leads to the narrator's death. This symbol of time is also the
instrument the leaders of the Spanish Inquisition have chosen to use to kill the
narrator. 

However, the narrator is so overwhelmed with fear that he actually
has no sense of time. Even though the pendulum swings indicate the passage of time, all he can
think of is the torturous wait. His sense of time is warped: 

What boots it to tell of the long, long hours of horror more than mortal, during which
I counted the rushing vibrations of the steel! Inch by inchline by linewith a descent only
appreciable at intervals that seemed agesdown and still down it came! Days passedit might have
been that many days passedere it swept so closely over me as to fan me with
its acrid breath. 

Just as he cannot stop time, the
pendulum is too heavy to stop with his own power. "Could I have broken the fastenings above
the elbow, I would have seized and attempted to arrest the pendulum. I might as well have
attempted to arrest an avalanche!" 

As he looks up, he sees the
personified Time (as a man) painted on the ceiling, but extending from this image of Time is the
pendulum itself. Death, personified, is often pictured carrying a scythe. When the narrator
looks up, it's as if he sees that image of Death: a man wielding a scythe (the pendulum). Again,
Time and death are conflated. 

In The Epic of Gilgamesh, explain the role(s) of kingship in the Sumerian society.

At the beginning of , Gilgamesh is portrayed as a harsh and
predatory king, the opposite of what a king ought to be. Men and gods make exactly the same
complaint:

No son is left with his father, for Gilgamesh
takes them all, even the children; yet the king should be a shepherd to his people. His lust
leaves no virgin to her lover, neither the warrior's daughter nor the wife of the
noble.

The gods create Enkidu to curb the arrogance of
Gilgamesh but after they have fought and Guilgamesh has shown himself to be stronger, Enkidu
acknowledges that this is only fitting since Gilgamesh is the king, raised up above all men and
therefore surpassing all men in strength. In this sense, therefore, Gilgamesh is what society
demands of a king, a great hero with the strength to protect his people. Despite their initial
altercation, Enkidu comes not to destroy the bad king, but to redirect his energies away from
preying on his own people.

The Epic of Gilgamesh makes
it clear that the...

How is Phoenix viewed and treated by the white people she meets in "A Worn Path"?

Although the young
hunter, a white man, helps Phoenix to right herself after she falls over, he calls her
"Granny" repeatedly rather than ma'am or some other title that would show appropriate
deference to her age. We often hear the adage that we ought to respect our elders, but he does
not do so because she is black and he is white. He also tells her "Now you go on home,
Granny!" as though she is a child to be told what to do. He even points his gun at her,
asking if she is scared by it. Not only is this disrespectful, but it is also cruel. One might
assume that he would never treat an old white woman this way.

Later, the
attendant in the doctor's office doesn't say hello or ask how she can help Phoenix. Instead, the
woman simply says, "A charity case, I suppose." The woman has no patience with
Phoenix, a very old woman, at all, ordering her to "Speak up" and even asking,
"Are you deaf?" Again, Phoenix is spoken to as if she...

The social issues which
appear in 's short story, "", depend upon what one considers to be an issue

In "Eveline" by James Joyce, what are the language techniques that the author uses in the narration?

's story
"" portrays the internal reality of a disappointing and repressive existence. In doing
so, Joyce employs several literary techniques:

1. Allusions

There are several religious allusions. The dust refers to the ashes given before Lent
as a reminder of man's mortality; the saints and the priest are reminders of the domination of
the Catholic Church in this Irish family.  Eveline "prays to God to direct
her."

2. Back-story

The background of Eveline's past
with the neighborhood that has changed, the abusive father, and her promises made to Blessed
Margaret Mary Alacoque add meaning to the current action of the plot.

3. 
Flashbacks

As Eveline sits at the window and ponders her consent to go away,
she recalls her childhood and her abusive father. There was the "invariable squabble for
money" as well and all the hard work of taking care of the house.

4. 
Flashforwards

While she considers her promise to leave with the sailor Frank,
and how people will treat her with respect in the new place. Eveline envisions her supervisor at
work being glad that she has left, and recalls the details of what Miss Gavan has always
criticized. She also ponders her new life with Frank.

5.  

As an abused child and depressed young woman whose also has strong religious ties with
her promises to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque, as well as her promise to her dying mother to
care for her younger brother, it appears that it will be difficult for Eveline to leave her
family.  In addition, Frank is a sailor who has traveled around the world and suggests moving to
Buenos Aires, a city of many emigrants and adventurers where there may be temptations for
him.  

6.

The funerealof cretonne and dust and brown in
theof the story suggests the depressive state of Eveline and the dismal quality of her life and
the future death of her dream of escape.

The religious imagery of the saints
and the priest suggest the tremendous oppression of Eveline's Catholicism with its
obligations.

7. 

The promise of the Sacred Heart, I will
give peace in their homes, is not kept; and the promises that Eveline has made to the Blessed
Margaret Mary Alacoque seem falsified by the fact that this beatified person engaged secretly
in severe corporal mortifications upon herself until paralysis confined her to bed for four
years.  Of course, the irony of her paralysis cannot be missed, either.

8.
Repetition

Eveline tries to convince herself by repeating, "Frank would
save her....He would save her."

9. Stream of Consciousness

Most of the narrative of this story is written as theof Eveline.

10.
Thematic Patterning

Throughout Eveline's interiorof the past and of her
future hopes, there is the motif of paralysis. Eveline cannot control her own life; instead, she
sees herself as a victim of her father's abuse and Miss Gavan's control and her religious
obligations.

 

In Act II from Our Town by Thornton Wilder, explain the conversation between Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs.

As Act II of
bybegins, the Stage Manager informs the audience that this is the wedding
day of Emily and George. 

The day begins as usual with Mrs. Gibbs coming down
to start the day by making breakfast for the family and visiting wedding guests. When Dr. Gibbs
comes down, he begins to tease his wife about losing one of her children to marriage.

Mrs. Gibbs attempts to keep her emotions in check.  She has so many things to do. For a
few minutes though, she shares her fears about George being too immature to be getting
married.  He does not take care of his clothes and never thinks to dress warmly.  Emily is too
immature as well.  

In his wisdom, Dr. Gibbs helps his wife to put this life
experience into perspective.  He thinks back to their wedding day. When he was standing down at
the front of the church waiting on her to come down the aisle, Dr. Gibbs says he was the most
nervous person in the entire state.  He looked at his bride to be and felt like he did not know
her.

The good doctor worries about George's readiness for marriage
also:

I  get a shock every time I think of George setting
out to be a family man--that great gangling thing--I tell you Julia there is nothing so
terrifying in the world than a son...

One of the realizations that the doctor has come to is that Emily and George will have
a lot of troubles, but that is not the parents' business. Every couple has a right to their own
troubles.

With insight, Mrs. Gibbs comments that everyone should live
two-by-two.  No one needs to live alone and lonely.

Humorously, Dr. Gibbs
ends the conversation with the comment that what he most worried about was that they would not
have enough material to carry on conversations.  Now, many years later, they are still married,
in love, and friends.

Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs use the wedding day as an
opportunity to reflect on their own marriage, portrayed as being quite happy. They ponder the
complex aspects of love and wonder about the difficulties that George and Emily will
face  especially on the problems of raising a family.

The anxieties that
await Emily and George are the same ones that awaited Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs years ago. The wedding
ceremony itself is not the only ritual passed from generation to generation. Other
elements, like the challenges of handling the practicalities of married life, are just as
enduring.

When the wedding is about the begin, both George and Emily become
confused about their feelings and nervous about getting married.  Wilder uses these emotions to
remind the audience that like this young couple, their parents experienced some of the same
jitters and confusion.  Life repeats itself.  Very little is new in the area of love and
marriage.  The millions of ancestors who witness this wedding in spirit went to their graves
after experiencing life two-by-two.

How do candidates reach potential voters?

The process
of reaching voters is a process that has two important steps.  The first step is identifying
which voters to contact while the second step is actually contacting those voters and getting
them to vote.

Perhaps the most important aspect of this process is
identifying the voters to contact.  Candidates do not want to waste their resources targeting
voters who are not likely to vote for them or who are guaranteed to vote for them.  Contacting
either would be a waste of time and resources.  Therefore, candidates use elaborate computer
models to determine which voters might vote for them and might also need to be encouraged to do
so.

Once they have figured this out, it is mostly just a matter of effort as
opposed to a matter of figuring things out.  The campaigns need teams of volunteers who will
contact as many potential voters as possible by phone.  For example, Mitt Romneys organization
was supposed to (but largely failed to due to technical problems) have people at polling places
finding out who had voted and calling potential voters who had yet to vote.

Thus, the process of contacting voters consists first of figuring out which voters to
contact and then of massive (largely volunteer) efforts to contact those voters and encourage
them to vote.

What are the qualities of the ant-lion and the meat ant in "The Ant-Lion" by Judith Wright?

In
this very short story, two children throw a meat antalso known as a gravel ant, a large ant that
appears throughout the continent of Australiainto a sandy pit for an ant-lion larvae to destroy.
The children watch in curious horror as the ant-lion larvae attacks and kills the meat
ant.

The qualities of the ant-lion are that it is heavy, grub-like, and
ruthless. The narrator also creates metaphors for the ant-lion: its relentless jaws are like
a dingo harassing a sheep, it is a little...

What is the new tune that everyone is singing?

In
chapter 4 of part 2, Winston waits forin the rented apartment above Mr. Charrington's shop and
overhears a huge prole woman singing in the courtyard as she pegs diapers on a clothesline. The
robust woman is singing a new popular tune produced for the proles by a sub-section of the Music
Department. In Oceania, songs are not composed by humansan instrument called a versificator
creates songs for the public. The lyrics to the popular song that has been "haunting London
for weeks past" is as follows:

It was only an
€˜opeless fancy.
It passed like an Ipril dye,
But a look an a word an the
dreams they stirred!
They €˜ave stolen my €˜eart awye.

The lyrics of the song relate to 's current emotions and behavior. By carrying on his
affair with Julia and joining the Brotherhood, Winston is living in a hopeless fancy, which will
pass like an April day. His love for Julia and belief inhave stirred up his dreams and stolen
his heart. Winston no longer operates in reality, and every action he takes is a response to his
imagination and dreams.

What is the historical significance of the Assyrian Empire?

The Assyrian Empire,
which existed in the Near East from approximately the 25th century BCE to its collapse around
600 BCE, was historically significant in part because it conquered Mesopotamia and much of the
Near East and spread its language, such as Aramaic, and culture throughout its empire. The
empire spread out from the city of Ashur, a trading center, and part of its significance came
from the sophistication of the banking system that was used in Ashur and that helped it grow in
wealth. In this system, independent investors put capital in the merchants' trade with Anatolia
for a return on the profits. 

Another reason the Assyrians were significant
is that their army was powerful. The army developed iron weapons from the Assyrian trade for raw
materials with Anatolia. The Assyrians were able to conquer neighboring tribes such as the
Mittani and Hittites and to establish order, law, and prosperity in these new territories with
their large bureaucracy. Under the period of Tiglath Pileser I (c. 1115-1076 BCE), the Assyrians
recovered from a period of stasis to go on to conquer new lands, build a new library and palace
in the capital city, establish laws known as the Middle Assyrian Laws, and construct fine
gardens. Tiglath Pileser emphasized the importance of literacy--a tradition later continued by
Ashurbanipal, who constructed a library at Nineveh with more than 30,000 cuneiform tablets. The
Assyrians also had many mathematical and scientific achievements, such as the invention of
longitude and latitude in navigation and the improvement of medical science. Their
architectural, scientific, and cultural achievements; military prowess; and laws contribute to
the Assyrians' historical significance, as does their longevity in the ancient
world. 

What effect did the baby boom have on Canadian society during the 1950's and what will the population pyramid for Canada look like 15 years from now...

Hello!
Like that of their American counterparts, the Canadian birthrate multiplied after
WWII.

What effect did the baby boom have on Canadian
society?

1) Because more people were marrying at younger ages
and having more children during the Boomer years, the growth of the Canadian population exceeded
expectations during this period. The phenomena of the lonely soldier coming back from war
precipitated many of these births. The marriages and births postponed from the Depression era
now saw their fruition during the Boomer years. The Boomer years lasted for 20 years in Canada
and saw the birth of more than 8.2 million babies.

2) Because of the increase
in population, many Canadian families moved to suburban communities to escape the crowding in
the cities.

3) Increased economic progress contributed to newer and better
products on the market. With the advent of the television, more people could access
entertainment at their fingertips.

4) The Boomer generation in Canada also
saw the advent of...

Compare and contrast the common characteristics of the preclassical societies in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China.

The above
post correctly notes that all the noted civilizations were river civilizations; it does not note
that flooding of those rivers was a factor. The flooding of the Nile was considered vital for
the Egyptian civilization to survive; it was problematic in other areas, such as Mesopotamia.
The flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers gave rise to the Epic of Gilgamesh and
consequentially the story of Noah and the flood. In China, the Yangtze river was called the
"river of sorrows" because its flooding was often capricious.

It
should also be noted that all three civilizations were poytheistic, While the Pharoah was
considered the human manifestation of the god Horus, other rulers ruled with the consent of the
gods. The Chinese ruler ruled with the authority of the Mandate of Heaven. Mesopotamian rulers
ruled on the basis of military might.

 

Why did Lyddie give Ezekial the money? What character traits does this show?

In one of
the most moving passages in the book,gives the $25 she received from selling her calf to the
fugitive slave, Ezekial, whom she finds hiding out in her cabin. While working at Cutler's
Tavern, she previously heard some men discussing the fact that turning in runaway slaves could
result in a cash reward of $100. With how desperate Lyddie is for money and how hard it is for
her to accumulate it, she is tempted for a moment to turn the man in. But after getting to know
the kind and eloquent man, she tells him, "Now I know you, I couldn't ever." As she is

How can I explain to my teacher that I lost my interim? I lost my interim and its due Monday and when I tell my teacher I'm afraid she might yell at...

I believe
that the first answer to your question covers almost everything you want to know.  However, you
don't say when you lost it, if it was on the computer and you could somehow not recover it, if
you are a high school or college student, if you have lost  an assignment before in this class,
and if you have ever approached your teacher before for help or a discussion of an assignment. 
I would encourage you to rewrite the assignment or at least part of it to show good faith that
you are trying to get it done even though you lost it.  As a post-grad student, I once had to
rewrite a 20 page paper in one day as I too had lost it and knew it would not be acceptable to
turn it in late.  Needless to say, I got no sleep until it was turned in, and I never again lost
an assignment as I always made two copies immediately which helped enormously.  I wish you good
luck, and know that once can be an accident but twice is a pattern you don't want to
acquire.

Is the monster in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein good or evil?

This is a massive
question and a favourite one for assessments of this novel. It is key to realise how in
Gothicthe binary opposition of man/monster is played wth and manipulated to not give us any
definite answers. It would be very easy to consignto the category of monster, asseems to do, but
to do this ignores the way that he shows himself to be capable of the same kind of independent
creative thought and emotions as humans. Indeed, some argue that he shows himself to be more of
a 'man' than mankind itself, that is characterised in the novel as a bloodthirsty...

What are the differences between traditional and modern short stories?

Because this
question is broad, I will focus on one aspect of storytelling: voice. 

Firstly, it is important to talk about what we mean by "traditional" and
"modern." The modern period of literature is generally marked as beginning in the
1920s. However, there is something to Virginia Woolf's statement that the shift to modernity
began in 1910, for early examples of Modernist literature emerged before the
twenties. 

Two such examples of "modern" short story collections
include Edgar Lee Masters's Spoon River Anthology (1916) and Sherwood
Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio (1919). Both collections prioritize the use of a
first-person narrative voice, which became more common in Modernist literature. The subject
matter of the stories in both collections is personal and illuminates less savory aspects of
humanity through characters who seem real. Conversely, the Naturalist literature that had
preceded this had used environment and physical frailties to depict character. Masters's work
also helped to popularize the use of , as the narratives are not exactly stories but rather
poems that tell stories. Another aspect of modern literature is the blending of forms.

Later Modernist literature would also incorporate stream-of-consciousness and
free-indirect discourse. The stream-of-consciousness device is particularly evident in the works
of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. In American literature, it was also used by William
Faulkner.

Stream-of-consciousness narratives incorporate the thoughts of the
characters in the narrative without the disruption of a narrator who lets us know that there has
been a shift from action to thought. The narrative may also jump from the mind of one character
and into another without any prior warning. In the nineteenth century, the use of voice was very
tightly controlled and the narrative voiceusually a third-person omniscient narratorwas
intrusive and sometimes told the reader what to think about a particular character. 

Free-indirect discourse is a literary device that occurs in prose narratives written in
the third-person omniscient voice. In the narrative, there is a sudden merging between the
narrators voice, which is otherwise distant and observant, and that of the character who is
speaking or having a thought. The narrator suddenly takes on the voice of the person or persons
speaking, instituting their dialects or speech patterns. This technique may cause a bit of
confusion for an inattentive reader, for the change can occur as soon as the next paragraph; in
the following paragraph, the narrator will restore the traditional third-person voice. Zora
Neale Hurston is an example of an author who used this device, particularly in her best-known
novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God.

In A Streetcar Named Desire, discuss Williams' presentation of male and female characters in the Poker Night scene, and what it suggests about how...

In this
scene, men and women are presented as occupying different and distinct spheres, but there are
crossovers between the two which are significant in terms of illustrating the balance of power
in this particular household. The women, Blanche and Stella, remain in the bedroom while the
men, Stanley and his friends, are playing a noisy poker game in the kitchen. The kitchen appears
more of a public domain where men from outside the family can congregate, and Stanley
effectively banishes the women from this space, so that they retreat to the more private area of
the bedroom.

In their noisy, unrestrained, hearty poker game, the men might
appear to be dominant on this night, but both the women do challenge them. Their private talk is
loud enough to disturb Stanley, so that he shouts over to them: 'You hens cut out that
conversation in there!'  Stella defies him: 'This is my house and Ill talk as much as I want
to!' She might...

If Americans buy only American products, how does that destroy their economy?

The
answer to the idea of how "Buy America" might hurt American economy rests in how the
interconnected nature of a globalized economy does much to reduce individual nation identity. 
This means that as manufacturing, production, and product invention and innovation have become
global elements, so much of American products are intermixed with elements from other
countries.  For example, computers that are developed in America are done so with parts from
other countries.  The interconnected nature of the globalized marketplace prevents a real strong
identification of "American" or any singular nation status.  Consider the words from
an economist, Mark Perry about this point:

"If we
restricted trade to just the 50 states, what would happen immediately -- and would increase over
time -- would be a huge reduction in our...

Why is forecasting important for business?

Forecasting
is important because businesses
thrive on being prepared.  If you are a business owner, you need
to know as
accurately as possible what your outlook will be in the future.  You need to
know
this in order to anticipate, for example, how much of various products
you will need to order
from your suppliers or how much (if at all) you will
need to expand your manufacturing
capacity.  If you do not have good
forecasts of things like sales volume for the next year, you
will be unable
to buy the right amount from your suppliers and you might end up with excess

inventory or you might run out of materials at a time when demand for your product
is
high.

Several
possible titles might apply to a talk about Anne Hutchinson, such as Hero, Not Heretic or
Puritan Feminist Pioneer.

Hutchinson became an important teacher as well
as a student of theology. Anne Hutchinsons study of theology in Massachusetts, the Bay Colony,
was largely conducted with the blessings of the Reverend Cotton, with whom she and her husband
had moved from England. From him, she adopted the Covenant of Grace in preference over the
Covenant of Works. This meant that belief in Salvation by the grace of God alone, rather than
based on evidence of devotion through works, was a guiding principle. She...
