What are some of the main effects of poverty in developing countries?

According
to the most recent statistics compiled by the World Bank, about 10 percent of the world's
population lives in extreme poverty, which means that they survive on less than 1.90 USD per
day. Over half of these extremely poor people live in the developing nations of Sub-Saharan
Africa. There are several serious effects of poverty in developing countries.

One of the major problems stemming from poverty is an absence of adequate health care.
The lack of clean water and proper sanitation leads to rampant infectious diseases, which cause
the deaths of millions in developing countries. Among the most serious of these are malaria,
tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS.

Another major problem associated with poverty in
developing countries is increased crime. Where there is widespread unemployment and a lack of
economic opportunities, many people tend to turn to criminal activity to survive.

A lack of education is another result of poverty in developing countries. Children and
teenagers have to leave...

Please outline the way the poet describes the tree when she is at home and when abroad. Do you find the descriptions different?

Given the
nature of the poem, I think that the descriptions have to be different than one another.  The
reality is that the poem is one of nostalgia, a feeling in the present that the past's
significance is something missing in the modern setting.  The lens of nostalgia is what colors
the speaker's perception of the tree in the modern setting.  The description of the tree in
lands far off is significantly different than what was experienced because of the reality that
what is present now is a reality that is not able to encompass the meaning of the tree from the
past.  The tree's laments and cries of pain is what makes the tree different from then and now,
a description that embraces the nostalgic view of the tree and what it comes to represent to the
speaker.  In this, the tree's power and significance is one driven by the tendency of nostalgia
and the idea of how our past is something not to return.  The difference in descriptions also
bring to light how the elements in our present that can link us to our past are beyond precious
as they enable us to reach back into a period of time that has long since passed.  For the
speaker, the description of the tree's laments and cries are significant to the extent that the
tree will no longer be able to serve in the present the function it served in the past.  The
differences in description highlights the importance of nostalgia, a condition that makes life
in the present more bearable with the understanding of a past increasing in significance and
meaning.

In what ways does McGahern make the relationship between father and son memorable in "The Stoat"?

In s
story, one interesting feature about the sons relationship with his father is that he is
actually closer to his fathers brother. The young man, who is the storys narrator, has decided
to study medicine because his uncle promoted this career; his father, who is a teacher, had
wanted him to become a banker. The gaps in understanding between father and son, which were
clearly present before the storys action begins, grow deeper as the father decides to
remarry.

As his fathers plans progress, a woman called Miss McCabe is
identified as a potential match; she is also a teacher. She comes to visit the Irish village
where they are staying, and moves into the cottage where the son formerly stayed with his
father, so he must now live in a hotel. The link between this physical distance and the
emotional distance is shown by the sons reaction to see his father with his new girlfriend on
his arm. This closeness makes him realize that Miss McCabe is a person, not an abstraction, and
from now on will be part of his fathers life.

When she shows generosity
toward the son, in the form of potentially supporting his future studies, rather than gratitude
he expresses his loyalty to his uncle. Ironically, the aspiring physician cannot help the ailing
woman, who has a heart condition and suffers a serious heart attack. This incident causes the
father to abandon her, showing that the son had overreacted and his father was not as
emotionally committed as he had believed. Perhaps father and son are actually alike, sharing a
lack of sentimentality.

Compare Vladimir Lenin and Old Major from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell.

is the
intellectual inspiration behind the Animalist revolution, much as Lenin was the animating spirit
behind the Bolshevik insurrection. When Old Major dies,vows to carry on the work started by the
great revolutionary icon. But instead he establishes a personal dictatorship that violates every
single one of the principles of the Animalist ideology.

Trace Winston's path toward destruction. Where do we first see his fatalistic outlook? Is his defeat inevitable?

's
fatalistic from the get-go, and with good reason too. There's simply no way that he, or any
other individual in Oceania, can ever prevail against the forces of this totalitarian state. But
Winston's nothing if not courageous. And if he's to go downwhich he knows is inevitablehe'll go
down fighting. In a state where everyone is under suspicion, and all Outer Party members like
Winston are under almost constant surveillance, it doesn't take much for someone to be slung in
a prison camp or vaporized. So Winston probably figures that if this is indeed his fate in any
event, then he might as well show some defiance to a regime which he cordially
loathes.

Winston's innate fatalism is almost like a death-wish. It leads him
on to take increasingly dangerous risks, almost guaranteeing himself a trip to Room 101. Winston
knows from the very start that he's guilty because in Oceania everyone is
guilty of something, whether it's a thought-crime or, more rarely, a deliberate act
of...
