Comment on the issue of science and ethics by giving examples from ''Rappaccini's Daughter'' by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Dr. Rappaccini seems to
exhibit a complete lack of medical or scientific ethics. Ethics are the moral principles that
govern someone's behavior or their participation in a particular activity. When Giovanni
Guasconti, the , goes to meet Signor Pietro Baglioni, a professor of medicine at the University
of Padua, Baglioni tells Giovanni that "'there are certain grave objections to
[Rappaccini's] professional character.'"

Baglioni tells Giovanni that
Rappaccini cares "infinitely more for science than for mankind. His patients are
interesting to him only as the subjects for some new experiment." In other words, then,
Rappaccini does not actually care about his patients and their well-being; he only cares for
them as subjects of his medical experiments.

His medical and scientific
ethics ought to dictate that the well-being and humanity and dignity of his patience should come
first. After all, doctors are supposed to "do no harm" according to their Hippocratic
oath. Yet Rappaccini does not concern himself in this way; by ""growing his daughter,
Beatrice, among poisonous flora, hequite unethicallyrenders her poisonous as well.

Then, to make matters worse, he masterminds the relationship between herself and
Giovanni, an intimacy that turns the young man poisonous as well. Rappaccini does a great deal
of harm because he cares more about science than he does about people, and this is unethical in
the extreme.

What are some of the ways that the Romans adopted and adapted Greek art and artistic principles? (i need 4 different ways)

The Latin
poet Horace famously said "Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit ("Captive Greece
captured her crude conqueror"). This line is intended to reflect the reality that although
Rome was a great military power and managed to conquer Greece. Culturally, however, Greek ideas
and models dominated Rome. The famous rhetorician Quintilian talks about how upper-class Romans
had Greek slaves raising their children and says that these children actually spoke Greek better
than Latin. Immediately after the conquest, the Romans looted Greece and brought back numerous
artistic works as well as slaves.

Could I have a summary of Chapter 1 of "Outliers: The Story of Success"? Chapter 1 summary of the book outlier

Chapter
1 of 's Outliers opens with a discussion of a Canadian hockey game, a game
for the Memorial Cup championships.  Gladwell describes then the Canadian hockey system,
explaining that it is a meritocracy, meaning those who show talent and promise are rewarded for
their efforts by moving up in the system and becoming part of "an elite league"
(16).

In the second section of the Chapter, Gladwell previews for the reader
the nature of his inquiry: What is it about strikingly successful people that makes them so
successful?  Gladwell questions the conventional wisdom that says people rise from
"nothing" to become successful.  He states his central thesis, which is that
"hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies" (19) are
responsible for the success of the "outliers." He characterizes this as the
"ecology of the organism" (19), in this case, the human being.

In
the third section, Gladwell provides us with information about the birthdates of successful
Canadian hockey players and invites us to see a pattern or trend in the information.  In the
fourth section, he provides us with the key to the pattern, which is that the most successful
players were born early in the year.  The implication he points out is that because of the
cutoff date for entry into the hockey system, players who have birthdays early in the year are
older, stronger, and more skilled than the rest of their cohort, thus leading them to
excel.

Gladwell then connects his ideas in the fifth section, presenting us
with the "Matthew Effect" (30), which comes from the Gospel of Matthew.  That book of
the New Testament has a verse that promises abundance to those who already "have"
abundance.  Gladwell provides other examples of this effect, including the effect upon students
who are older than their peers because of their earlier birthdays.  He characterizes the
advantage conferred as an "accumulative advantage" (30.)  Every year, the successful
are groomed a bit more, nurtured a bit more, and eventually this advantage accumulates into the
creation of an outlier.

In the final section, Gladwell returns to the
Canadian hockey players, and a particularly successful player, Gord Waden, who was born early in
January.

This is a fascinating book, and I hope my summary persuades you to
read and summarize the rest of the story.  Gladwell makes it easy to summarize his writing
because each chapter is divided into sections and he is good at creating transitions and making
connections between his ideas.

In The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare, why does Daniel walk away from Jesus at the beach?

In
Chapter 5, Daniel travels to Capernaum,
where he sees a crowd gathering near the harbor. Daniel
walks towards the
harbor, where a woman feeds him and tells him that people are gathering to

hear the teacher. Daniel then turns toward the man who is preaching and listens as Jesus
speaks
about the kingdom of heaven. Daniel is enthralled with Jesus' presence
and speaking abilities,
until he is distracted by the clinking of metal. When
Daniel turns around, he sees two Roman
soldiers standing in the crowd. Daniel
is disgusted at the sight of the soldiers and immediately
spits at the
ground. Despite the soldier's presence, Jesus continues to preach as Daniel
becomes
increasingly angry. Outraged, Daniel turns around and leaves the
crowd. Daniel's
hate and bitterness towards the Roman soldiers
make him leave Jesus' sermon. He is also upset
that Jesus did not ridicule
the soldiers and allowed them to listen to him as he preached.

Is "My grave is like to be my wedding bed" (1.5.153) an example of imagery in Romeo and Juliet? I am doing an imagery project and I want to know if...

Act 1, scene 5 of Shakespeare's takes place at a banquet at the
Capulets' home.has just met . They hold hands, chat for a moment, and, fifteen lines later, they
kiss. Three lines later, they kiss again.

The Nurse comes to retrieve Juliet
for her mother, Juliet goes to her mother, and the Romeo-and-Juliet moment ends.

It's a remarkably short scene between them, particularly considering the importance of
that moment to the rest of the play and to the fate of those two characters.

Shortly after Romeo and Juliet part, the banquet ends. The guests are leaving when
Juliet realizes that she doesn't know the name of the young man with whom she's fallen madly in
love at first sight. In fact, she doesn't know anything at all about him.

Juliet sends the Nurse to find out who Romeo is.

JULIET: What's he that follows there, that would not dance?

NURSE: I
know not.

JULIET: Go ask his name.If he be married,
My grave is like

What are some problems of using figurative language in poetry?

Figurative language, at least in part, is
comparing unlike things (often something familiar to something unfamiliar) in order to enhance
the author's meaning for his readers. When it works, it is an effective tool which adds to the
readers' understanding of the work; when it does not work, readers are left to puzzle out (or
muddle through) the meaning.

One danger of using figurative language is that
a reader may not know the unfamiliar thing. For example, if a reader does not know that David
was a teenage boy who killed the mighty giant Goliath with a simple stone from his slingshot
(after many adult soldiers were too intimidated, over a long period of time, to even face the
giant), they would not appreciate the comparison of anything else to David fighting
Goliath. 

A second possible problem of using figurative language in poetry is
that it can be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Unfortunately, this happens a lot with poetry,
even when there is not a lot of figurative language. Because the nature of a poem is to evoke
meaning in just a few words or phrases, the poet uses whatever devices he must to get the most
meaning out of the fewest words. Figurative language allows him to do that, but the risk is that
he might be misunderstood. For example, if a person is compared to a bouncing ball (resilient,
able to rebound from adversity), a reader might pick the wrong qualities for comparison (full of
air, very round). This is a rather obvious example, I know, but the principle is the same for
more complex metaphors and similes. In fact, the more complex the comparison, the more likely it
is to be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

Finally, a reader of poetry may not
have the skills to distinguish figurative language from literal language. "A Dream
Deferred, by Langston Hughes, is full of similes, any of which could be taken literally by some
readers.

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up

like a raisin in the sun?

Or
fester like a sore--

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and
sugar over--

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just
sags

like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

All of these images are familiar enough that, for some readers,
they are literal rather than figurative.

Figurative language is always a
risk, even in conversation. We can make a faulty (or insulting) comparison, we can be
misunderstood, we can cause confusion, and we can be accused of not being direct enough. On the
other hand, when figurative language is used effectively and is correctly understood and
interpreted, poetry is even more beautiful and captivating to the soul.

Compare and contrast Walter and Beneatha from A Raisin in the Sun.

andboth
want so much more out of life than they're currently getting. But they choose to remedy that
situation by radically different means. Walter is a good deal more impatient than Beneatha; he's
always looking for the opportunity to make a fast buck. He sees this as a waythe only wayto
transform his family's fortunes. Walter's drinking can also be seen as a method of escape from a
world which doesn't give him what he wants.

Beneatha, on the other hand, is
much more sensible and level-headed. She initially sees education as a way out of her current
predicament and to that end, is prepared to work hard and study over a considerable period of
time. Unlike her improvident brother, her focus in life is very much on the long term, whether
that means going to medical school or moving to Africa with Asagai.
