How does Mary Shelley's life link to the novel Frankenstein?

Shelley
wrote "," her most famous work as an exercise to keep away boredom while on vacation
in Switzerland with her husband Percy, Lord Byron and others.  The task was to create a story
that they would enjoy reading. wed her imagination to the modern day advances in technology to
create a story of a man consumed with seeking scientific glory.  

"Frankenstein" is reflective of Mary Shelley's life experience because in her time,
technology and innovation were beginning to surge and science was making leaps and bounds with
new inventions.  Two particular areas of science that are focused upon in this novel are the use
of electricity and...

What makes "The Village Blacksmith" an inspirational poem?

What
makes "" particularly inspiring is the way the man himself goes about his work every
day no matter what life throws at him. Being a blacksmith is hard, physical work and requires a
lot of strength. That in itself is inspiring. And we're left in no doubt by Longfellow that the
blacksmith is a hard worker:

His brow is wet with honest
sweat, He earns whate'er he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any
man.

Not only is he a hardworking man, he's also fiercely
independent. He can stand tall and look his fellow men in the eye because he works for himself;
he's not reliant on anyone else for his daily bread. In many respects, the village blacksmith is
the epitome of the age-old American tradition of rugged individualism. At the same time, he's
unmistakably a part of his community, going to church every Sunday and listening to his daughter
sing in the choir. As a widowed father he cares deeply for his daughter and venerates the memory
of his late wife:

He hears his daughter's voice, Singing
in the village choir, And it makes his heart rejoice. It sounds to him like her mother's voice,
Singing in Paradise! He needs must think of her once more, How in the grave she lies; And with
his hard, rough hand he wipes A tear out of his eyes.

The
village blacksmith inspires because he teaches us all a valuable lesson in how to live our
lives. Whatever he endures, be it hard work, sorrows, or joys, he still carries on, striving
hard to shape his life just as he shapes hot, burning metal on his anvil.

What may be the opposite word of teach?

I think
an antonym or the opposite of "teach" is href="https://www.thefreedictionary.com/indoctrinate" target="_blank"
title="indoctrinate">"indoctrinate".

I'm
thinking of the negative of this word. One dictionary definition of
indoctrinate is:

          To imbue with a partisan or ideological
point of view

In essence, there is no teaching here, in the sense
that teacher and student bounce ideas, concepts, opinions, and such off of each other.
Indoctrination often dispenses with "give and take" between teacher and student. It is
often someone trying to cram their beliefs down the throat of the recipient.

Great teaching allows for discussion, questioning, opposite viewpoints, and more. With
this type of teaching, quality learning takes place.

 

What is the most important component of the criminal justice system?

Douglas Carroll, Ed.D.

In the traditional sense, we think of the criminal justice system as beginning with
laws made by legislatures, policing efforts, court systems, various alternatives to
incarceration, and the prison system. Thinking more conceptually, the criminal justice system is
based upon the notion that all people are equal under the law. We know, of course, the validity
of this notion is tested daily with mixed results, as arrests and incarceration rates appear
disproportionate in minority communities by comparison to majority communities. Nonetheless, an
argument can be made the most essential component of the criminal justice system is the faith
and confidence in which citizens place in the idea that the United States criminal justice
system makes an effort to be fundamentally fair, equitable, and just.

The
notion of equitable treatment is enshrined in numerous parts of the US Constitution and
replicated in state constitutions as well. Equality of the law is demonstrated in a citizen's
initial...

What is the theme in the novel Things Fall Apart?

One of
the primary themes in Achebe's classic novel concerns the clash of cultures. When the white
Europeans colonize the region, they begin to convert the villagers of Umuofia as they slowly
introduce Igbo society to western culture. More and more villagers convert to Christianity and
begin to assimilate into the European culture, which undermines their traditional African ways
of life. The village of Umuofia is dramatically transformed and staunch, intolerant
traditionalists likerebel against their changing culture. The European colonizers and the Igbo
traditionalists oppose each other and misunderstandings between each culture lead to bloodshed.
Achebe explores the unfortunate outcomes involved in a culture clash.

Another
primary theme explored throughout the novel concerns one's destiny. Various references are made
to Okonkwo's chi and whether or not his destiny is positive. Initially,
Okonkwo's chi is portrayed as positive and aligns with his determined,
hard-working personality. As the novel progresses, Okonkwo makes several terrible decisions and
his chi is described as being cursed, which implies that he was doomed from
the beginning to die like his father. Okonkwo becomes a tragic hero, whose inflexible, masculine
nature leads to his demise. Throughout the novel, Okonkwo loses his titles, is exiled to his
motherland, and eventually commits suicide after decapitating a white messenger.

Achebe also explores the theme of the complexities of Igbo culture. As a response to
Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness, Achebe describes the complexities of
Igbo culture in detail. Achebe illustrates the rich Nigerian traditions, depicts the various
rituals of Igbo society, and presents its judicial system as sound, coherent, and fair. Achebe
describes various religious ceremonies and the villagers of Umuofia are depicted as intelligent
and civilized. Achebe's novel challenges prejudiced beliefs of the time regarding Africans by
depicting the Igbo culture as rich, fascinating, and civil.

What is the best way to characterize (based on personal and political backgrounds) the current make-up of Congress?

There are
several ways to characterize the 113th Congress of the United States.  These ways include
political and personal factors about the members of Congress.

Politically,
the first word that we should use to characterize Congress is divided.  Congress is divided
politically in a number of ways.  The Democrats have control of the Senate.  As it stands today,
there are 53 Democrats, 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats, and 45 Republicans. 
Meanwhile, the House is controlled by the Republicans, with 233 members to the Democrats 200
(there are some vacant seats at the moment).

The Congress is also more
polarized than in past years.  This means that the Democrats are more liberal and the
Republicans are more conservative than in past years with fewer moderates in either party. This
has come about largely because of gerrymandered districts that tend to elect more extreme
candidates.

In terms of personal characteristics, href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/meet-the-new-congress-facts-and-figures-about-the-113th">this
Congress is more diverse than many previous Congresses.  White males are still by far
the biggest demographic.  However, there are more racial minorities, more women, and more sexual
minorities than in the past.  For example, more than half of the Democrats in the House are
minorities or women.  There are 28 Hispanics (a record) in the House and 3 (tied for the record)
in the Senate.  There is also the first openly gay member of the Senate and 6 openly gay
(another record) members of Congress altogether.

Thus, there are many ways to
characterize this Congress from the political or the personal point of
view.

Solve the equation n! + (n+1)! = (n+2)!.

n! + (n+1)! =
(n+2)!

Let us rewrite:

n!+ (n+1)n! =
(n+2)(n+1)n!

Factorize n!

n!(1+n+1) =
(n+2)(n+1)n!

Divide by n!

==> n+2 =
(n+2)(n+1)

No divide by (n+2)

==> 1= n+1

==> n = 0

to verify substitute with n=0

==>
0! + 1! = 2!

==> 1+1 = 2

==>
2=2
