Compare the two time frames of Never Let Me Go and Frankenstein.

The
novels by Mary Shelley andare set in two different eras. Shelley's
Frankenstein is strongly associated with early 19th-century Romanticism. The
exact time period of , although Ishiguro wrote it in the late 20th century,
is not specified, but it seems to be the not-too-distant future.

The novels
are very similar in evoking contemporary anxieties, including ethical concerns, about how to
define human existence and the proper place of science and technology.

Shelley portrays Victor Frankenstein on the border of science and religion as he takes
on the role of creator: he plays God. Victor also uses contemporary medical practices, which
made people anxious in his day, of using corpses. While others used the bodies to study anatomy
and physiology, he goes much farthertoo farin making new life. The creature also stands for the
alienation of the individual in the uncertain modern age. He feels human emotions, but others
reject him and see him as monstrous rather than human.

Ishiguro takes up the
theme of cloning, a post-World War Two scientific advance involving animals. He created a
fictional world in which cloning humans has become routine. We do not meet the scientists or
creators who make the clones, so their ethical dilemmas are not explored. Rather, the author
emphasizes the daily reality of the clones beings who, like Shelley's creature, struggle to
define their identity as humans or not.

Include three website/address details of businesses and how each of them can assist with building software macros (for instance, in Microsoft Word).

Macros are
small pieces of software code that you can use to automate steps in Microsoft Office programs,
such as Excel and Word.

Microsoft's Office 365 website includes href="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/create-or-run-a-macro-c6b99036-905c-49a6-818a-dfb98b7c3c9c">detailed
instructions about how to create a macro for Microsoft Word.

Another resource that provides a wonderful overview of how to create macros for
Microsoft Word is Lynda.com. This video demonstrates in detail how to author and run a
macro.

You can use macros to automate steps that you would normally have to
do manually in the user interface of Microsoft Wordfor example, selecting several things through
a sequence of steps in the Microsoft Word Ribbon. (The Ribbon is the list of buttons and menus
at the top of the user interface in all of the current Microsoft Office applications.)

Current versions of Microsoft Office allow you to create macros from within the
application without having to write a single line of code. However, you can also use Visual
Basic, a coding language, to create a macro from scratch.

How does Creon show Oedipus's pride and downfall in Oedipus Rex?

acts as
a constant and unwelcome reminder toof the fundamental fragility of his kingship. Although Creon
actually gave Oedipus the throne of Thebes as a reward for solving the riddle of the Sphinx,
Oedipus has never trusted his uncle/brother-in-law. He's so deeply insecure on the throne that
he's certain that Creon plans to snatch it away from him at every available
opportunity.

After all, Oedipus probably reasons that, as Creon gave him the
throne, he can just as easily take it back. This makes Oedipus incredibly paranoid. So paranoid,
in fact, that Oedipus openly accuses Creon of trying to overthrow him aftermakes his terrifying
prophecy.

The more Creon protests his innocence, the more stubborn Oedipus
becomes in his insistence that Creon wants to take back the throne of Thebes. Not for the first
time, and not for the last, Oedipus's overwhelming pride is getting the better of him. And it is
this pride that will ultimately lead to his downfall.

Although Oedipus's
pride would've been enough in and of itself to bring about his downfall, Creon inadvertently
plays his own part in this . So long as he's around, so long as he reminds Oedipus that there's
someone at court who can easily step into his shoes at a moment's notice, Oedipus has no real
incentive to do the right thing and face up to the terrible truth of his own actions. He feels
so threatened by Creon that he daren't confront the truth head on.

What is Homi Bhabha's theory in "The Commitment to Theory?"

In
"The Commitment to Theory," Bhabha focuses on the issue of translating theory into
action, or praxis, and the issue of the continued divide in post-colonial nations of the former
colonizers and the formerly colonized. For Bhabha, groups of people who were of the colonized
identity are still considered to be "the Other" in post-colonial societies. According
to Bhabha, there is still a deep divide that results in a continued power dynamic in which
formerly colonized people are still oppressed, either through an assumption of cultural
inferiority or a forced cultural hegemony, in a post-colonial society. For instance, Indigenous
people in what is now considered the United States may not be subjected to the Indian Removal
Act of the 19th century, but they are still the victims of hate crimes, cultural appropriation,
and cultural erasure in their own homeland. Additionally, Bhabha analyzes the need for theory
that encourages cultural diversity to translate into actual material reality in...

In To Kill a Mockingbird what are some quotes that show racism?

I like
the following quote that has racial implications.  

Lula
stopped, but she said, "You ain't got no business bringin' white chillun herethey got their
church, we got our'n. It is our church, ain't it, Miss Cal?"

The quote is from chapter twelve.  The reason that I like the quote is because it
squarely putsandon the other side of racism.  The two kids have never been on the receiving end
of a racist comment.  They are white children, and even without making racist comments
themselves, they hear white people making nasty comments about black people.  This is the first
time they have heard and gotten a nasty comment about being white. 

The next
quote is probably the quote most often associated with , his parenting, and his views on racism.
 The quote comes from chapter eleven. 

"You aren't
really a nigger-lover, then, are you?"

"I certainly am. I do my
best to love everybody... I'm hard put, sometimesbaby, it's never an insult to be called what
somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn't hurt
you."

Atticus is teaching Scout an important lesson
about racism.  First, Atticus shows that words do have power, but only if you let them.  He also
explains that those negative kinds of words often teach you more about the person saying the
insult than it does about the person receiving the insult.  Lastly, Atticus is showing Scout why
he is a "nigger-lover."  It's because he is doing his best to treat everybody the
same.  Atticus isn't in favor of one race more than any other race.  Atticus is teaching Scout
about equality. 

 

In The Scarlet Letter, does Dimmesdale kill himself or does the letter A on Hester's chest kill him? I am writing an interpretative essay on The Scarlet...

From an
interpretive perspective it is arguable that the primary factor that motivatesto engage in the
practice of self-mutilation is the fact that he is the cause of 's punishment of wearing the
scarlet letter for the rest of her life as a token of shame.

Dimmesdale has a
strong reputation that precedes him and, as a result, he ends up believing in it: the townsfolk
see him as a sort of deity; he is referred to as the "divine" one and seen by everyone
as the epitome of the puritanical way of life. Surely the attention of his parishioners must
have fed Dimmesdale's ego, which is perhaps the reason why his speeches had always been so
eloquent and powerful. Even though he is a young man, he enjoys the respect and support of the
aldermen of the province. All of this points to a man who is of excellent character and
impeccable integrity.

Yet, he is not any of those things: Dimmesdale is a
hot blooded man with weaknesses like any other person. His attraction and desire

In Of Mice and Men, Lennie strangled Curley's wife and killed her. Who was really responsible for her death, Lennie or Curley's wife?

One
could argue thatis more responsible for the death of Curley's wife. Although Curley's wife
initiated the interaction by starting a conversation with Lennie and allowed him to pet her
hair, she was completely unaware of his history and had no idea that he lacked
self-control.

Also, one cannot blame Curley's wife for forcing a conversation
with Lennie because of her loneliness on the farm. Curley's wife is portrayed as a lonely,
depressed woman, who left her dream of becoming an actress to live a secure life with a rather
ornery man. Despite the fact that Lennie rebuffs Curley's wife's initial attempts at having a
conversation, one cannot blame Curley's wife for searching for companionship. When she discovers
Lennie's affinity for petting soft things, she does not take into account Lennie's strength or
inability to control his emotions, which is not her fault.

During their
interaction, Lennie is the perpetrator, who refuses to let go of Curley's wife's hair despite
her pleas. The...
