Give some examples of solute and solvent.

Solute and
solvent are the two components of a
solution.

A solvent is a substance that
dissolves the
solute. And the solute is the substance being dissolved.

To
identify them, take note that if the subtance present in a
solution undergoes change of state,
it is the solute. However, if neither of
them change state, the reagent in smaller amount is the
solute.

Below are some examples of solutions. The solute and solvent are

identified.

Example 1: Mix salt and water to form a
solution.

When salt is dissolved in water, it changes from
solid to liquid. While the water
remains as liquid.

Hence,
in this solution, the salt is the solute and water
is the solvent.

Example 2: Vinegar

To make a vinegar,
acetic acid
and water are mixed together. These two substances are both liquid. And when
mixed
together, both of them remains in liquid form. There is no change of
state. However, the amount
of acetic acid is smaller compared to that of
water.

Thus, the acetic acid is
the solute and the water
is the solvent.

What is the profession of Professor Lidenbrock?

Professor
Otto Lidenbrock is a geology professor from Hamburg, Germany who is also is the curator of a
mineralogy museum. It is his purchase of an Icelandic saga that inspires the journey to the
center of the earth. The journey comes about because within the manuscript the professor finds a
note written in code by a sixteenth-century alchemist.

Lidenbrock is a
somewhat mador at least obsessiveprofessor and insists that all else must stop until the message
is deciphered. Finally, his nephew Axel cracks the code to discover that the message says that
by descending through a certain crater in Iceland, one can get to the center of the earth. This
excites Lidenbrock, who immediately organizes a trip to Iceland and, from there, deep into the
bowels of the earth. His expertise in geology and mineralogy will prove helpful on the
journey.

Which different parts of the United States does King mention in his speech?

King
mentions many parts of the United States in his "I Have a Dream" speech. This is meant
to be sure that his audience realizes that the entire country has made equality a dream deferred
for African-Americans. 

The first specific mentions begin on the third page
of the speech, when he refers to "the Negro in Mississippi...and the Negro in New
York" (3), the Mississippi Negro not being permitted to vote and the New York Negro feeling
he has no one he can vote for. He then exhorts his audience to go back and change the situation,
specifically mentioning Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and "the
slums and ghettos of our Northern cities" (4).  He wants to make clear that injustice is
not simply a Southern problem, but a Northern one, too.  He references Georgia and Mississippi
again, saying he dreams that slave owners and the descendants of slaves in Georgia will be able
to "sit down together at the table of brotherhood' (4), and that even Mississippi can be
changed, into "oasis of freedom and justice' (5). He then mentions Alabama, a state with
"vicious racists" (6), as being capable of being transformed into a place where black
and white children can "join hands" (6).

As King wraps up his
speech, with hisof highs and lows, he talks about "the prodigious hilltops of New
Hampshire" (6), the "mighty mountains of New York" (6-7), "the heightening
Alleghenies of Pennsylvania" (7), "the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado" (7),
"the curvaceous slopes of California" (7), "Stone Mountain of Georgia" (7),
"Lookout Mountain of Tennessee" (7), and finally, "every hill and molehill of
Mississippi" (7). 

King has managed, with his references to North and
South and a list that sweeps coast to coast, to make sure that his audience understands that the
bell of freedom needs to ring in every part of the land and that the playing field of his
metaphor is smooth, with no greater burdens for some than for others. This is a wonderfully
crafted speech, and it still has great power to move today. 

 

How can the value of cos 15 be found without the use of a calculator. Which formula has to be used?

The value of
cos 30 is usually known to all students.

cos 30 = (sqrt 3)/2.

Now we use the formula for cos 2x, which is:

cos 2x = (cos x)^2 -
(sin x)^2

=> cos 2x =  2 (cos x)^2 - 1

Now substitute
15 for x here.

We have cos (30) = 2 (cos 15)^2 - 1

=> 
(sqrt 3)/2 = 2 (cos 15)^2 - 1

=> 1 + (sqrt 3)/2 = 2 (cos 15)^2

=> (1 + (sqrt 3)/2)/2 = (cos 15)^2

=> cos 15 = sqrt [ (1 +
(sqrt 3)/2)/2]

=> cos 15 = sqrt [ 1/2 + (sqrt 3)/4]

You
will most probably need a calculator to find the value of the square root here, but you won't
need one which has values of cosine stored in it.

Therefore cos 15 can be
calculated without a calculator as sqrt [ 1/2 + (sqrt
3)/4]

What is Jared Diamond's thesis in Guns, Germs, and Steel? Specifically how does Dr. Diamond explain the development of European economic, military,...

Diamond
explicitly states that his book was written to answer a question asked to
him by his friend Yali concerning why the Europeans had so much more "cargo" (material
goods and technology) than the natives of Papua New Guinea. The central claim of the book is
that the reason for this is mainly an accident of geography rather than inherent differences in
the character of their cultures.

Diamond begins by pointing out that his
personal experience is that people all over the world are equally likely to be hardworking and
intelligent. He is opposed to the sort of racist views that tend to explain differences in
wealth and technology by arguing for innate differences in intellect among people of varied
ethnicities. Given that stance, he says we must search for another root cause of the differences
in the speed at which economies and technology evolved.

He finds the
explanation in geography. He argues that the key factor in differential development of wealth
and technology has to do with natural resources such as plants and animals that can be easily
domesticated. Also important is the existence of accessible east-west travel routes that allow
the spread of crops and domestic animals. In these matters, areas such as Egypt, Mesopotamia,
and other parts of Eurasia had major natural advantages over many other
regions.

Why did the old waiter want a "clean, well-lighted" place?

A clean,
well-lighted place holds at bay the "nada" that he perceives in life: "What did
he fear? It was not fear or dread.  It was a noting that he knew too well.  It was all a nothing
and a man was nothing too." "Nothingness" or "nada," which he repeats
over ten times, goes beyond loneliness, consisting of a sense of meaningless in the universe
akin to existential angst--a sense that there is no reason for anything,that there is no purpose
or meaning to life. Loneliness is the immediate cause of this, perhaps, and certainly living in
the "light" would mitigate the discomfort of being in the "dark," where one
in fact can see nothing.

What risk does Nene take?

Nene
seems to take two risks in the story.

First, she marries Nnaemeka even
knowing that his father, Okeke, would not accept her easily into his life. It's a risk because
the father's prejudice could make her marriage, and her life, quite difficult--especially if
children enter the picture, which they do. As we see later in the story, her decision to marry
Nnaemeka also means that she experiences judgment and prejudice of other local citizens, not
just Okeke; she also has to deal...

Which parts of Candide would be most disturbing to a European monarch?

I think the
easiest and most obvious answer to
this question would be to point towards chapter 26 of
,
in whichturns his vision of arbitrary fortune to reflect on the monarchs

themselves. In this chapter, rulers are shown to be just as subject to these cruel turns
of
fortune as every other human in the book. Cruelty abounds everywhere, and
no one (not even
rulers) can ever be secure against those tragic twists of
fate.

Taken from a
personal perspective, one can imagine
the thought of being deposed or overthrown would be
greatly disturbing to any
given monarch. That being said, I suspect in most cases, any
particular scene
within Candide taken in isolation (even a scene such as

that depicted in chapter 26) would be less disturbing than the effect of this book when

Why does Coelho open with the modified myth of Narcissus?

The
shortof sets up much of the novel that follows. It does not tell the
reader anything about the plot of the book; instead, it briefly introduces us to some of its
central themes.

Unlike the traditional telling of the myth of Narcissus, this
version dwells more on the vanity of the lake as well as that of Narcissus himself. The
Alchemist expresses that this is a lovely version, perhaps indicating that he feels that vanity
is a virtue rather than a vice. This book is about finding love and worth in yourself, something
that the lake has done. In this way, the prologue subtly introduces the reader to the ideas that
are developed later on. These include transformative journeys, love, and fulfilling one's
personal legend.

This version of the myth of Narcissus also shows the idea
that individuals are not solitary beings. Everyone and everything is part of a greater unity,
and in many ways, we are all reflections of each otherjust as Narcissus's beauty and the
lake's...

What would be a good thesis for Edwin Arlington Robinson's "Richard Cory"?

A
thesis statement should declare what the writer intends to prove, defend, or discuss throughout
the paper and make a claim that others might dispute. A thesis statement not only focuses the
attention on the primary topic but presents an argument to the reader, which the writer will
defend for the remainder of the paper. There are numerous thesis statements that one could write
to examine the various literary elements, themes, and writing techniques utilized byin his
classic poem " ." The poem focuses on a wealthy man named Richard Cory, who is admired
by the lowly workers he passes on the street, and it is told from the narrative viewpoint of the
poor townsfolk. Despite having presumably everything a person could ask for, Richard Cory dies
by suicide one evening. A relatively easy method for writing a thesis statement would be to
explore why Richard Cory took his own life or to elaborate on a prominent theme of the poem. The

Is the narrator of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" insane?

The
narrator of "" is what's called an unreliable narrator. This means that we can't be
sure that what he's saying is true; we simply can't take him at face value. Instead, we need to
read his words carefully and see if we can construct a plausible account of what happened. Very
few of us are trained psychologists, so we can only surmise as to his true mental
state.

The narrator starts by telling us that he isn't mad; but he does
acknowledge that some degree of psychological disintegration has taken place. We sense that the
narrator is reluctant to acknowledge madness because of the shame and stigma that such an
admission will bring. In reading the story, we need to remember that people with mental health
issues in the nineteenth century were often treated appallingly by society, so we can understand
why the narrator doesn't want to be tarred with the brush of insanity.

Yet
the narrator undermines his own case by his meticulous account of the killing of his wife and

What does Pearl represent and how does her temperament drive the action and the reader's understanding of The Scarlet Letter?

s name,
ironically, comes from the bible:  a pearl of great price. names her this because her birth
came at great price to her mother.  Hester says she was purchased with all she [Hester] had. 
Pearl is the living Scarlet Letter; the representation, in the flesh, of Hester and s sin. 
Hester does her no favors by dressing her in beautiful clothing, mostly red and very
noticeable.  When Pearl runs through the town, everyone notices her, some people point at her,
and she knows, even at a young age, that she is somehow different.  Not even the children will
play with her, as they have been warned that she is unbaptized and therefore somehow
evil. 

Pearls temperament drives the novels action.  In fact, it is usually
Pearl who acts as a catalyst for the action.  One example is in the Elf-Child and the Minister
chapter when Pearl is being quizzed to find out if she should be taken from Hester.  When asked
who made her, at first she refuses to answer, then the child finally announced that she had
not been made at all, but had been plucked by her mother off the bush of wild roses, that grew
by the prison-door.  This causes the gentlemen to judge Hester very harshly, and it also causes
Dimmesdale to defend Hester.  Later in the novel, every time she sees Dimmesdale, Pearl asks why
he has his hand over his heart.  The reader, too, would like to know the answer to this
question.  In a way, the reader and Pearl are in the same situation.  There are things going on
and we need answers.  Pearl finds these answers out for us.  It is Pearl who asks if the
minister will stand with them in daylight.  The reader also wants to know if Dimmesdale will
ever acknowledge his child in public. 

Explain the structure of the heart and lungs, including tissue types and cells.

I
will explain the structure of the human heart, including the tissues and cells, here.

The human heart is shaped roughly like a human fist and consists of four chambers: two
atria and two ventricles. The atria (plural; the singular term is atrium) are the chambers that
receive the blood, while the ventricles are the chambers that pump the blood in our body. The
two atria are the left and the right atria. Similarly, the ventricles are also classified as the
left and the right ventricles.

The right atrium receives the deoxygenated
blood from the body and passes it onto the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. This
deoxygenated blood is passed to the lungs for reoxygenation and is received by the left atrium.
This blood is then passed to the left ventricle through the bicuspid valve and from there is
pumped to the rest of the body.

The primary type of tissues present in the
human heart is cardiac muscle tissues. These tissues contain a variety of cells, including the
fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and cardiomyocytes. It is interesting to note that the
movements in the cardiac muscle tissues are involuntary, which means that they cannot be
controlled by us, unlike the skeletal muscle tissues. The heart also contains the pacemaker
cells, which generate electrical impulses that tell the cardiac muscle cells to contract and
relax.

Hope this helps.

I'm
certainly not a poetry expert either, but I agree with the previous poster and have a few
observations of my own.

I think you do have a poetic sensibility, as you
include some more subtle elements without overusing them--such asin "Mystery always
misguides me." (This is my favorite line, by the way--and I'd like it more if you left out
always, which is a little hyperbolic and really not necessary to your interesting

I thought you were off to a great metaphorical start with the idea
of a torch--but then you just kept moving.  I'm thinking truth as a torch, and am mentally

particularly apt , perhaps that's because it's forgotten in the mix of all the other

Are the women of Kung oppressed or controlled by men? Are men "dominated" by the women? Why?

In her book
Nisa, anthropologist Marjorie Shostak studies the life of the !Kung, one of
the last remaining tribes to subsist on hunting and gathering, rather than agriculture. In her
interviews with members of this tribe, who live in the Kalahari Desert, Shostak found that the
women did the majority of gathering food, which constituted most of what the people ate, while
the men did the hunting. The women were considered important to the tribe's survival, and there
was a great deal of equality between men and women. For example, men helped the women with
gathering, and members of both genders carried out child-rearing tasks.

It is
more difficult to figure out whether women are considered equal in marriage and sexual
relationships among the !Kung. Nisa, the subject of the book, tells Shostak about her many
lovers and affairs outside of marriage, and taking lovers seems widespread in the tribe. Nisa is
unrepentant about having lovers. However, men are also allowed to beat their wives for taking
lovers. One of Nisa's daughters is killed for having an affair. Therefore, while there is some
equality between men and women, women in the tribe are also subjected to great violence. In some
ways, the women of the tribe are oppressed by the men, but women also are able to show freedom
of choice (though they do not dominate the men).

How old is the narrator of "Araby" when he tells the story?

We are not
told the exact age of the boy who narrates "," but the story indicates he is at the
cusp of a transition from boyhood to adolescence. He goes to school, he plays games with the
other boys in the streets until dark, and he is under the thumb of his aunt and uncle. He cannot
go to the bazaar called Araby if his uncle doesn't take him.

We know he is
more than just a little boy because of his awakening sexual desire, which he focuses on his
friend Mangan's older sister. As he puts it:

Her dress
swung as she moved her body, and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side. 

He watches her from afar, and she becomes an idealized object of
his desire. She doesn't have a name that we are told, but he conflates her with the Virgin Mary,
symbol of motherhood and purity, and with the exotic bazaar Araby, symbolizing the mystery and
sexuality of the Orient. As he views her one day, the word "white" stands in for the
mixture of purity and sexuality she represents to him:

The
light from the lamp opposite our door caught the white curve of her neck, lit up her hair that
rested there and, falling, lit up the hand upon the railing. It fell over one side of her dress
and caught the white border of a petticoat, just visible as she stood at ease. 

When she speaks to him of the bazaar:

The syllables of the word Araby were called to me through the silence in which my soul
luxuriated and cast an Eastern enchantment over me. 

Yet
like a young adolescent, his emotions are in turmoil, on a roller coaster ride, and quickly
crash into disillusion as the bazaarand thus the girldon't live up to his expectations. Like
many young adolescents, he is sorting out fantasy and reality as he gropes to come to self
understanding:

Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as
a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger. 

I need help with this question, it says what picture of god is the author painting? How do you think this relates to the author's purpose? can you...

puts god as a
hand that holds us over the fire-pit of hell, basically. These hands are unpredictable,
unexpected, and we have no control over them. Change and repentance must happen, and people must
go back to the faith or else that God is capable of burning us all not on a specific day, but
any day he chooses.

Now, he did this revival speech to the congregation of
Enfield, Massachusetts (later Connecticut) in July 1741. His group was falling apart and people
were becoming more interested in making it in the colonies rather than to preserve a religiosity

Edwards was quite upset about it, and did this
revival speech to persuade people to follow him. He does this persuasion through fear, which is
the most efficient way to convince.

What is the significance of "singing benna in sunday school" in Kincaid's "Girl"?

All
throughout the short story "," the voice of the mother instructs the girl to never
appear slutty. Considering the language the mother uses, it's almost as if she cares more about
her daughter's perceived reputation than the actual truth of the matter. Regardless, it's clear
that other people's opinions are very important to the mother, who tries to set her daughter
right beforein her eyessome irreversible damage is done to her name.

The
significance of singing bennaa rude and gossipy folk songin Sunday school could be understood in
many ways. For one, as other answers have already pointed out, benna is not a "proper"
genre of music. It relies on talking badly about people and is not associated with good manners.
Therefore, the mother could be warning the girl about that. In addition, Sunday school and
church are holy places where people are usually on their best behavior. The warning could also
mean not disrespecting a place of worship with crude songs.

How did mobilizing for World War I change the United States' economy and its relationship to government? Which of these changes, if any, spilled over...

American
mobilization forhad an impact on state
spending on procurement, with the federal government
beginning to employ an
ever-larger labor force and invest greater sums of money in the private

sector for the acquisition of weapons and munitions.

In terms of
labor,
during the four-year time period 1914 to 1918, more than 3.5 million
people were added to
military and civil service payrolls. The scale of this
personnel upsurge can be seen in the
change in unemployment during this
period, which dropped from 7.9 percent to 1.4
percent.

Government spending also increased dramatically, marking a

previously unseen level of central influence in the national economy. The cost of World
War I to
the United States' economy was 52 percent of gross national product,
most of which came through
federal appropriations. This was financed, in
part, by an increase in the individual tax rate

What were the major events in the civil rights movement in the 1950s, and what role did the Eisenhower administration play in them?

The
biggest single event in the 1950s in relation to the civil rights movement was the landmark
Supreme Court decision in Brown v Board of Education (1954), which ruled
that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. President Eisenhower
was none too pleased at the Court's ruling, as he thought that the process of desegregation
should take place gradually over time. He was therefore reluctant to use his Presidential
authority to enforce the Court's ruling.

Yet after the authorities in
Arkansas openly defied the Supreme Court by maintaining segregation in their public schools,
Eisenhower realized that he no choice but to intervene directly. Using his authority as
Commander-in-Chief, he sent Federal troops into Little Rock to ensure that African-Americans
were able to attend schools that had traditionally been reserved for white students.

In subsequent years, Eisenhower's commitment to the civil rights cause would grow. In
1957, he signed a Civil Rights Act that made it possible for more African Americans to vote.
This came at a time when the vast majority of African Americans in the South were denied the
vote by all kinds of nefarious methods, not to mention outright intimidation by white
supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.

In actual fact, the Civil Rights
Act of 1957 proved rather ineffective due to the many alterations made to the original Bill by
Southern Congressmen and Senators. It was largely in response to the inadequacies of the 1957
Act that Eisenhower signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which strengthened voting
rights protection by expanding the authority of Federal judges.

Why is it impossible for Tom Robinson to have done the things Mayella accuses him of in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee?

In ,
Mayella Ewell is called to the witness stand and testifies that on the evening of November 21st,
she called Tom Robinson into her yard to bust up an old chiffarobe. According to Mayella, Tom
followed her into the house, ran up behind her, and began to choke her around the neck. Tom then
proceeded to throw Mayella to the floor and rape her. Despite Mayella's cries, no one came to
her rescue and when she woke up, her father was in the room asking questions. Mayella then says
she fainted again and woke up to Mr. Tate.

Despite Mayella's confident
attitude,exposes her lies during his cross-examination. Mayella proceeds to contradict herself
by saying, "No, I dont recollect if he hit me. I mean yes I do, he hit me" (Lee, 188).
Atticus then makes Tom Robinson stand up and simply asks Mayella how a handicapped man with one
good arm could have possibly choked, beat, and raped her.

When Tom was a boy,
he caught his left arm in a cotton gin, which is why it is twelve inches shorter than his right
arm and completely useless. Due to Tom's severe handicap, he could not have been responsible for
the handprints encircling Mayella's entire neck and it would have been impossible for him to
choke her. It is also be highly improbable that Tom could have held Mayella down with his left
arm while he beat her with his right. Judging by the location of the bruises on Mayella's face,
a left-handed person would more than likely cause those specific injuries to the right side of
her face. Atticus then makes a moving, logical argument that Bob Ewell was his daughter's
perpetrator.

How Does The Civil War Still Affect Us Today

The Civil
War had several long-term effects. One of these was that it ended slavery in the United States.
Slavery and the spread of it had been a growing concern in our country for many years. The Civil
War permanently ended slavery with the passage of the thirteenth amendment to the
Constitution.

Another long-term impact is that it reinforced the idea that
the power of the federal government was supreme. The southern states wanted states to be able to
nullify laws that they didnt like or that hurt them. This concept was put to rest with the
Souths defeat in the Civil War.

What was rousseau aiming to show with his anecdote ? It's an extract taken from Mary wollstonecfraft a vindication on the rights of a woman (1792). In...

Rousseau in
Emile insists
that women are "naturally" given to such behaviors
as being obsessed with
their looks and playing with dolls. He also asserts that woman want to be

subjugated by men because they are "weaker." He writes that having the same level
of
education as men is worthless for women, though they should be given some
education, if only to
be able to adequately raise their children. He says
women are the way they are because
nature made them that
way.

Wollstonecraft attacks
Rousseau's ideas sharply in
her Vindication. The book is an argument for
the better
education of women. Wollstonecraft very strongly asserts that women are

not, as Rousseau contends, born with traits of vanity, weakness,
and the
desire to please men. These, she argues, are all
learned behaviors, the
result of the poor education
women receive. She likens Rousseau's assertions about women's
failings to the
anecdote of the learned pig, a popular but false story in the eighteenth
century
that a pig could learn to read.

Wollstonecraft is
saying that some popular
and widely disseminated ideas and stories--such as
the learned pig anecdote and the idea that
woman are innately inferior to
men--are simply wrong, and she takes Rousseau to task for
repeating false
stereotypes about women. She goes after Rousseau because he was a popular and

respected figure, and she thought his views on women did them great
damage.

Wollstonecraft completely opposes Rousseau's
ideas, stating that with a rational and
sober education, girls would not grow
up into silly, vain, childish creatures but into good
helpmeets for their
husbands and better managers of their households, not to mention able to

raise sensible daughters.

In Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, why does Bruno think the Fury is the rudest person he ever witnessed?

"The Fury," of course, is Bruno's
erroneous pronunciation of Adolf Hitler's title: "the F¼hrer." The exact words from
the novel are that Bruno believes "the Fury" is the rudest guest I ever seen.  A few
of the main reasons why Bruno thinks this are that Adolf Hitler invites himself to Bruno's house
for dinner, marches inside, and immediately takes Bruno's father's head spot at the dinner
table.  Another reason that Bruno thinks Adolf Hitler is rude is the way that he treats Eva.
 When Eva spends too long visiting with the children, Bruno hears Hitler "roar."  Then
Hitler yells at Eva to come to his side by clicking his fingers as if she were some sort of
puppy dog.  It is obvious to Bruno that Adolf Hitler immediately gets everything he wants
despite his behavior.  There is also an indirect reason why Bruno believes "the Fury"
to be very rude:  "the Fury" is the reason why Bruno and his family had to move from
Berlin.  Because Bruno loved his home in Berlin (especially the banister and the fact that they
lived close to Bruno's grandparents), Bruno is especially disgusted to be living near the
concentration camp of "Out-With" (Auschwitz).

In "The Black Cat," compare the second cat with Pluto. How were they alike? How were they different?

The
narrator's first cat, named Pluto, is
described as "a remarkably large and beautiful
animal, entirely black and
sagacious to an astonishing degree." The narrator's wife is so
impressed with
the cat's sagacity, or wisdom, that she seems to suspect that it could, in

accordance with "the ancient popular notion," be the spirit form of a witch.
This
suggestion of evil is compounded by the significance of the cat's name:
Pluto is the name of the
Roman god of the underworld.

The
narrator's first cat, Pluto, at first
follows the narrator everywhere, and
the narrator is pleased to reciprocate the cat's love.
However, the narrator
soon becomes cruel and is seemingly possessed by a spirit of evil. He
starts
to violently abuse the cat. He cuts one of its eyes from the socket, and he then
hangs
the cat from the branch of a tree.

When he happens
upon the second cat, the
narrator notices that, in appearance, it is
remarkably similar to Pluto. The second cat is
"fully as large as Pluto, and
closely resemble[s] him in every respect but one." The
one difference between
the appearance of Pluto and and the second cat is that the latter has
"a
large, although indefinite splotch of white, covering nearly the whole region of
(its)
breast." Pluto, by comparison, was black all over. The second cat also
resembles Pluto
physically, conspicuously, in that it too has only one
eye.

In terms of its
behavior, the second cat, like Pluto,
at first follows the narrator everywhere. However, whereas
Pluto followed its
owner lovingly, like a companion, the second cat seems to follow the narrator

ominously, like a ghost haunting its victim.

Indeed, the narrator
remarks
that the second cat would follow him with "a pertinacity...difficult
to make the reader
comprehend." The implication of the story is that this
haunting, stalking pertinacity is
because the second cat is a reincarnation
of Pluto, returned from the dead to avenge its
death.

In 1984, cite four methods which the Party uses to destroy loving relationships.

The Party uses a
variety of methods to prevent people from forming loving relationships. First of all, the Party
controls the institution of marriage. If two people wish to marry,
they must be approved by a specially-appointed committee. If the two people appear to be
physically attracted to one another, however, the Party usually refuses its consent.

Secondly, the Party has formed organizations like the
Junior Anti-Sex League to promote the ideal of celibacy and
abstinence . By doing this, the Party ensures that children grow up without any
interest in forming a...

What are some similarities and differences between teenagers today and those in the 1520s (the time of Romeo and Juliet)?

Despite
the fact that Shakespeare's classic
play is set in the 1520s, the characters ofshare similar
traits with modern
teenagers in today's society. Modern teenagers are still extremely impulsive,

mercurial, emotional, disobedient, and romantic likeand . Romeo is initially depressed
by
Rosaline's unrequited love but demonstrates his mercurial nature by
instantly falling in love
with Juliet at first sight.

Both
teenagers impulsively get married and
disobey their parents by secretly
marrying their enemies. Similar to modern teenagers, Romeo and
Juliet lack
the personal agency to overcome society's conventions and are relatively helpless
on
their own. They rely on the help ofand the Nurse to advance their
relationship but cannot avoid
disaster. Romeo and Juliet also lack
perspective and discernment, which is typical of most
teenagers.

Despite the many similarities to modern teenagers, which

make Romeo and Juliet a relevant play in today's
society,...

How are Bruno and Shmuel alike?

The
short and simple answer is that both Bruno and Shmuel are, in the end, just two little boys. The
entire Nazi doctrine was built around the belief that they were somehow inherently different,
but the friendship they build during the novel symbolizes, through a , that when it came down to
it, they were quite interchangeable. The Nazi guards had absolutely no way of determining that
Bruno didn't belong in the camp; the novel's bleak ending serves to show the absurdity of the
Nazi worldview.

The truth of the matter is that, while Bruno and Shmuel
became friends partly thanks to some...

How did the fall of the Berlin Wall affect the rest of the world?

The
Berlin wall was both a fact of and a symbol of the Cold War. It was created as a result of the
way in which Germany was divided up following World War II (the Potsdam agreement). Berlin was a
divided city in a country that had been divided into spheres of influence by four different
allies: the United Kingdom (Britain), France, the United States, and the Soviet
Union. 

The part of Germany under Soviet influence, which was called the
"German Democratic Republic," had a very different political system from that of the
other allies and in the late 1950s decided to prevent defection from east to west through
building the wall. The western part of Berlin was actually deep within the German Democratic
Republic territory, so the east Germans built the wall all the way around West
Berlin. 

The attached picture shows the wall. On the western side was all
kinds of graffiti because western Berliners could approach the wall with impunity. The eastern
side had no graffiti because as east Germans increased the guarding of the wall and added more
barriers to the approach to the wall, people could not get anywhere near the it. Those who tried
to defect by climbing over the wall were shot. 

There were places in the
wall, called checkpoints, where people with the proper identification papers could get through,
but these were heavily guarded. Despite the wall, defectors still managed to get into West
Berlin by tunneling under the wall and even floating in balloons over the wall. Still, that was
risky business. 

The Cold War was a terrifying time for people around the
world, as the arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States escalated. One never knew
when a leader might decide to use nuclear weapons against the other side and there were some
really close calls, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis. 

In the late 1980s, the
Soviet Union began to fall apart and the fall of the Berlin wall marked this event with great
clarity. With the fall of the wall, families who had been divided by the two Germanys could
reunite, people finally had freedom, and the whole world breathed a sigh of relief that the Cold
War had finally ended.

How are the inhabitants of Roaring Camp described at the beginning of "The Luck of Roaring Camp"?

The men of Roaring Camp are initially presented as a rough bunch with quite a bit of
tumultuous life experience behind them. Some of them are actual fugitives from justice. The
group has plenty of gamblers and a history of shooting each other to death. Some of the men are
missing various body parts: fingers, toes, ears. The best shot has only one eye and the
strongest man has only three fingers on his right hand. The narrator proclaims that "all
were reckless."

The importance of this description lies in the reason
the group is gathered in the beginning of the story: they await the birth of a baby. Since there
are no children in the town and the baby's mother has committed many "sins" which have
brought her to this moment, the childbirth provides multiple reasons that attract men's
interests.

"Cherokee Sal" dies shortly after giving birth, and
this "reckless" group is left with the task of raising a child. The story shows how a
pure and innocent love transforms a group of rough men and...
