What are some historical events that happened in the book Fever 1793?

's historical novel
takes
place in Philadelphia. As portrayed in the book, Philadelphia was
then the
nation's capital. The narrator of the novel mentions the State House, where
the
Congress then met. Coffeehouses, like the one portrayed in the novel,
were common in
Philadelphia at the time, and they were places where people
could gather to speak about politics
and to exchange ideas. The character of
Eliza in the novel is a freed slave, and Philadelphia
was home to about 2,000

What is the setting of Journey to the Center of the Earth, and why is it important?

Large
portions of the setting for this story are fictional. At the time that Verne wrote this book,
geologists were not sure what the interior of Earth was like. In typical Verne fashion, the text
weaves known science with. After descending through a volcano into the Earth's interior, the
setting is fictional locations inside Earth. Regarding actual locations, the story begins in
Hamburg, Germany in the spring of 1863. The story begins with Axel explaining to readers that
Otto Lidenbrock had discovered a manuscript written by a 16th century Icelandic man. The
manuscript supposedly narrates a path to the center of Earth, and the path begins at Mount
Snaeffels in Iceland. The men then travel to Reykjavik, Iceland in order to gain access to the
starting location. The...

I have to make a concept board on the play of Antigone. It needs to be abstract representation of the world and the characters from the play Antigone...

Previous answers
have addressed some specific aspects of the story itself, but I can add some tips for designing
concept boards in general.

A concept board (even a 3-D version, like the one
in the assignment) is a lot like an infographic. Pick two or three main points that you are
trying to make, and focus on getting those across as clearly as possible. (Do not retell the
whole story on one board; you will just overload your design and confuse your
audience.)

Plan your design before you start sticking images and other
material to the board. You might use one shape to represent characters, another to represent
action, a third to represent consequences, and so forth. Geometric clues like this will help
your audience decode your message easily.

Is your message linear
(beginning, middle, end)? To show a linear progression, your images should be placed to read
logically from left to right or top to bottom. Alternatively, are you going to convey a lot of
open-ended possibilities and...

What were the Democratic-Republican and the Federalist party's beliefs and ideals about Jefferson's expanding agrarian republic?

The
Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists
were the two main political parties in the early
United States.  The two
parties had different opinions on most issues.  One of the important
issues
on which they differed was Thomas Jeffersons idea of an agrarian
republic. 


Thomas Jefferson was one of the most important
members of the Democratic-Republican
Party.  This means, of course, that his
party supported his idea of an agrarian republic. 
They...

Why do Muslims consider Jews and Christians to be "people of the book"?

Muslims
consider Jews and Christians to be People of the Book because they believe that the Jewish and
Christian scriptures were inspired by God in much the same way that the Koran was.  They honor
the Jewish and Christian prophets and consider them to be important prophets in Islam as well. 
For this reason, they believe that the Jews and the Christians are part of the same religious
tradition that Muslims belong to.

Muslims believe that the Jewish prophets
and Jesus were all divinely inspired.  They accept that Jews and Christians are monotheistic and
that the God that all three religions worship is the same God.  They believe that God first
revealed himself to Abraham.  This made Abraham the first Muslim.  While Muslims do respect Jews
and Christians as People of the Book, they also believe that these faiths have drifted away from
Gods true word.  They believe that the older religions became imperfect and that God revealed
himself (through his angel) to Muhammad to get people back on the right track.  They believe
that Muhammad was Gods final prophet and that the revelations given to him are the ultimate
indicators of what God wants.

Muslims, then, believe that Jews and Christians
are People of the Book because they are all part of the same religious tradition with and they
all revere the same God.  The scriptures that the Jews and Christians believe in are also holy
to Muslims,  but Muslims believe that the revelations given to Muhammad and written down in the
Koran supersede and perfect the Jewish and Christian scriptures.

How does alliteration develop the theme of love transcending death in "Annabel Lee"?

You stated
that your theme was that their love transcends death. Though the lovers were young whendied, his
love for her has lived on past her death.is an important factor in this poem, and I think the
reason you may be having trouble is that you are looking mainly within the line or the next line
to find the repeated sound. As the lines in Annabel Lee are short, the repeated sounds later in
the stanza also figure in.

In the first stanza: repetition of M €“ many,
many, maiden, maiden

In the second stanza: repetition of L €“ loved, love,
Lee , love

In the third stanza: repetition of S €“sea, so, shut, sepulcher,
sea

In the fourth stanza: repetition of H €“ half, happy, heaven


In the fifth stanza: Repetition of W €“ we, who, wiser, we

In the
sixth stanza: Repetition of B €“bringing, beautiful, bright, beautiful

If
the theme is eternal love, found in youth, but never forgotten, then part of the function of
sound devices should be to remind us of that youthful love. Poe is a master of sound, and it is
no accident that he reminds us of the youthful lovers by repeating so many short words
(generally no longer than two syllables). The repetition gives the poem a rhythmic, sing-song
tone that lingers in our memory long after we have read it.
