Film: 'Crocodile Dundee' directed by Peter FaimanHow are stereotypical roles upheld and challenged?

One of the stereotypes that is both upheld and challenged
is the role of the damsel in distress. Sue is supposed to be the delicate female from
the city who needs help from the big, strong man to survive in the wilderness. In some
ways this is true, Mike does save her from an alligator and later from some dangerous
men; however, Sue shows herself to be quite capable as well. For instance, Mike assumes
she doesn't know how to handle a gun, but Sue surprises him by being a good marksman. In
the same film, we see this role reversed as Sue and Mike travel to New York City. Mike
becomes the stereotypical damsel in distress as he struggle to understand the big city.
Sue becomes the rescuer as she repeatedly helps Mike understand the new environment. Of
course, Mike still saves Sue a number of times even in New York. This stereotype is
constantly being upheld and broken throughout the movie.

how to calculate sin 75 and cos 75?

We have to calculate sin 75 and cos
75.


The values of sin 45, sin 30, cos 45 and cos 30 are
commonly known. We use these to determine the value of cos 75 and sin
75.


Use the relation cos (x + y) = (cos x)*(cos x) - (sin
x)(sin y)


cos 75 = cos (30 +
45)


=> (cos 30)(cos 45) - (sin 30)(sin
45)


cos 30 = `sqrt(3)` /2, sin 30 = 1/2, sin 45 = cos 45 =
1/`sqrt(2)`


=>`sqrt(3)` /2`sqrt(2)` -
1/2*`sqrt(2)`


=>[`sqrt(3)` -
1]/2`sqrt(2)`


Use the relation sin(x + y) = sin x * cos y +
sin y *cos x


sin (45 + 30) = (1/`sqrt 2` )(`sqrt 3` /2) +
(1/` `2 )(1/`sqrt 2` )


=> (1 + `sqrt 3` )/`sqrt
8`


The required value are cos 30 = (sqrt 30 -
1)/2*sqrt 2 and sin 75 = (1 + sqrt 3)/2*sqrt 2

My teacher set me homeowrk to make a story board about the flying shuttle but he hasn't even explained it to me.i know some of what the flying...

I'm assuming you are referring to the space shuttle. There
are lots of different kinds of information that could be included regarding different
aspects of the development and use of the shuttle; these are some
possibilities.


One of your topics could deal with the
designing and building of the reusable space shuttle orbiter vehicle itself and the
system of solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank used to propel it into orbit. The
history of that process involved solving many challenges that had not been dealt with
prior to the development of the shuttle. You might devote another space to the new
systems created for the shuttle, such as the technology needed for the computerized
flight control system. Another space could deal with upgrades and updating of equipment
that happened during the lifetime of the shuttle
program.


You will need to devote several spaces to the work
of the shuttle. One topic could examine the different configurations of the payload area
and how they have allowed the shuttle to accomplish many different types of missions.
Other spaces could examine the major types of work accomplished through use of the
shuttle - the building and supplying of the International Space Station, the scientific
experiments that have been conducted under weightless conditions, the studies of weather
systems on Earth that have been supported by data collected from photographs taken from
the shuttle, the medical data collected from the astronauts' experiences and
experiments.


If you still have space, you could use one
space to record the names, nationalities and responsibilities of the international
astronauts who have flown on the shuttle. There should be no problem filling your
storyboard.

In The Outsiders, what was Ponyboy's reaction when Sodapop told him about Darry?In chapter 1 somewhere.

I assume you are talking about when Sodapop talks to
Ponyboy at the end of Chapter One after he has been saved from the Socs and Darry has
shouted at him and told him off. It is clear that Ponyboy thinks Darry is unfair in the
way that he is always shouting at him and picking on him, but never on Sodapop. Sodapop
tries to smooth things between them, by telling Ponyboy that his big brother doesn't
actually hate him and that he actually is incredibly proud of his little brother. He is
just struggling with having to bear so much responsibility at such a young age because
he is the father to his two younger brothers. However, it is clear that Ponyboy is not
convinced by this explanation of Darry's behaviour. Note how he responds to Sodapop's
reasoning:

"Sure," I said, trying for Soda's sake to keep
the sarcasm out of my
voice.



Ponyboy will need to
experience Darry's love for him in a different way before his relationship with him can
be healed.

What is the molarity of chloride ion present in the solution that is formed when 238.50mL of 1.35M barium hydroxide reacts with 2146.5 mL of 0.3 M...

the amount of moles =
volume(ml)*molarity*10⁻³


the amount of HCl
moles = 2146.5*0.3*10⁻³ ~ 0.64mol


the amount of BaCl₂moles

Hence
Molarity = 0.268M

What is a good general thesis statement based on human nature in "The Lottery" by Jackson to address the topic below?Topic: Is this just a story...

Since you've specifically requested help, even though you
now have a good answer to your question, I'll go ahead and answer with some alternate
thoughts. Another aspect you might address is whether you think Jackson does or does not
represent human nature adequately.

It seems to me, that while Jackson
makes a point about blindly following blind tradition in which superstitious demands
supersede other considerations, she does not understand or represent human nature well
at all.



so it

villagers to get home for noon dinner.

"Well, now." Mr. Summers said
soberly, "guess we better get started, get this over with, so's we can go back to work.
Anybody ain't here?"



We know
that civilizations have practiced human sacrifices from the beginning of time--but has
Jackson really captured the essence of the psychology behind it? Is there not
archaeological evidence that much deeper and prolonged ritual is involved and much more
severe tyranny governs the societies that practiced human
sacrifice?

You might look at some recent research on the
archaeological findings relating to the Mayan civilization and discuss whether Jackson
depicts a true or a stilted, artificial, and wholly inadequate picture of
humanity.

most of them were quiet, wetting their lips, not
looking around.

he stood a little apart from his family, not looking
down at his hand.



You might
then answer the question of whether Jackson's point is made null and void or only made
irritating by a an inadequate representation of humanity. A thesis might say something
like: While Jackson's theme of the falseness of adhering blindly to superstition may be
true, valid and correct, her representation of human nature may be less than adequate so
that her understanding of motive and psychology may make her point less than
applicable.

What would be a good thesis for this book?

There are many different good thesis statements which
could be defined for Scott Westerfeld's novel
Uglies.


1.The novel
Uglies depicts modern issues of the modern
teen.


2. The novel Uglies could cause
teenage girls to believe that the ideals set forth regarding body image is
correct.


3. The novel Uglies forces
teenagers to look at the reality of body dismorphic
conditions.


4. The novel Uglies
wrongly shows the importance of ones physical appearance over all other
important characteristics.


5. The novel
Uglies shows the irony concerning physical appearance and its
importance in society.


6. Scott Westerfeld wishes to show
how image is not the most important thing in life in his novel
Uglies.


7. The novel
Uglies supports the importance of physical beauty in society
today.

What is the range of f(x) = (x)/sqrt (x-1)

The range of a function is the set of the values of f(x)
when x lies in the domain.


The domain of f(x) is all values
where x – 1 > 0 because if the denominator is 0, we get an indeterminate number
and for x - 1 < 0, the square root is a complex
number.


=> x >
1


f(x) = x/sqrt(x - 1)


f'(x) =
[1*sqrt(x - 1) - x*(1/2)(1/sqrt(x - 1))]/(x - 1)


=>
f'(x) = [(x - 1) - x/2]/(x - 1)^(3/2)


=> f'(x) = (x
- 2)/2*(x - 1)^(3/2)


equating f'(x) = 0, we get x =
2


The function has the minimum value when x =
2


f(2) = 2/sqrt 1 = 2


If x
> 1, f(x) >= 2


The range of the
function is (inf., 2]

Identify at least one conflict in William Gibson's play, The Miracle Worker.

The Miracle Worker, a play by William
Gibson, is based on the lives of Helen Keller and her lifetime companion, Annie
Sullivan.


In terms of conflicts, there are two
major kinds
: internal and external.
There is only one kind of internal conflict and that is man (or woman) against himself
(or herself). (This would include having a guilty conscience or talking oneself out of
being afraid.) There are several kinds of external conflicts, including man vs. man, man
vs. the supernatural (or God), man vs. society, and man vs.
nature.


The most prevalent kind of conflict in this play is
man vs. man. This would include primarily Annie against Helen, Annie against Captain
Keller, the Captain against James, Annie against James, and even the Captain against
Kate Keller (but to a lesser degree).


Man vs. nature might
be seen in Annie's struggle to keep her eyesight.


Man vs.
society can be seen when Annie decides to treat Helen as she sees
fit in order to reach through the obstacles of Helen's loss of vision, hearing and
speech. The Keller family is very unhappy with Annie's "tough love"
approach. Man vs. society is also seen in the behavior of Annie—a young lady from the
North—as opposed to the expectations of "genteel" href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/comportment">comportment of
ladies in southern society in the late 1800s.


The most
obvious example of internal conflict is Annie fighting to come to terms with her
memories—specifically those of her brother Jimmy, who died when they were very
young.


To name a specific instance of man vs. man, perhaps
the most memorable incident is in Act Two, scene two, when Annie is trying to get Helen
to eat with a spoon and sit nicely at the table. The scene is a memorable one to
see, filled with only Annie's
commentary, and a great deal of physical acting as Helen and Annie brawl across the
dining room table.


readability="5">

There follows the longest and most famous onstage
fight in American
theatre...



Another
entertaining scene (in Act One, scene seven), which involves an early conflict in the
play, begins with Annie pitted against Helen, and ends with Annie pitted against the
Captain. When Annie will not let Helen have her own way (which the family is accustomed
to doing to get any peace), Helen hits Annie in the face with the doll Annie has brought
to her (knocking out Annie's tooth); then Helen locks Annie in her room—all on the first
day Annie arrives. Helen hides the key, which has a great deal of symbolism in the play,
and will be significant at the end of the play. In order to get her
out of the room, the Captain must climb to the second floor window and carry Annie down
the ladder.


readability="16">

KELLER:


Come
out!


ANNIE:


I
don't see how I can. There isn't
room.


KELLER:


I
intend to carry you. Climb onto my shoulder and hold
tight.


ANNIE:


Oh,
no. It's—very chivalrous of you, but I'd really prefer
to—


KELLER:


Miss
Sullivan, follow directions! I will not have you also tumbling out of our windows...I
hope this is not a sample of what we may expect from you. In the way of simplifying the
work of looking after
Helen.



This conflict, man vs.
man, as seen with Captain Keller against Annie, is only one of the many conflicts in the
play.

Do you think that rapidly growing countries should adopt family planning policies?

So long as the family planning policies are educational
and voluntary, I think that it would be a good idea for countries that are growing
rapidly to create family planning policies.


As I said in my
answer to your other question, compulsory family planning goes against basic human
rights.  However, if the government can persuade people to
limit the size of their families, there is much less reason to worry about a loss of
human rights.  The government should simply inform people about the benefits of having
smaller families and, perhaps, give them easy access to contraceptives so that they can
limit their family sizes if they so choose.  So long as the government does this, it
will not be forcing people to do anything and will therefore not be infringing on their
human rights.

What is similar and different points between Greek Mask and Sri Lankan mask?


Masked characters,
usually divinities, are a central feature of Indian dramatic forms, many based on
depicting the epics href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata">Mahabharata and title="Ramayana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana">Ramayana.

Vietnam
have developed the Indian forms, combined with local myths, and developed their own
characteristic styles.


The masks are usually highly
exaggerated and formalised, and share an aesthetic with the carved images of monstrous
heads that dominate the facades of href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu">Hindu and href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist">Buddhist temples. These faces
or Kirtimukhas, 'Visages of Glory', are intended to ward off evil
and are associated with the animal world as well as the divine. During ceremonies these
visages are given active form in the great mask dramas of the South and South-eastern
Asian region


In ancient Greece, the use of masks begins
with performances by masked actors. These performances date from the VI Century A.D.
Masks were used to help the actors convey stories and traditions that included feasts in
honor of Dionysius the god of wine and plants.


For the most
part, people tend to associate the use of masks with ancient pagan rituals. One wears a
mask to seek protection from evil spirits during the time that we believe demons are
present.


In the European Christian tradition, the word
"carnaval" has been linked to the idea of "good bye to the flesh", referring to the 40
days of lent. During this time, Christians, in particular, Catholics were prescribed not
to eat meat according to the traditional religious precepts. Therefore, the days
preceding Lent became a period of abandon and indulging. The celebration becomes an
escape to the pressure and to the rigidity of religious
tradition.

Solve x^5 + 7x^3 + 6x

`x^5 + 7x^3 + 6x < 5x^4 + 7x^2 +
2`


`x^5 -5x^4 + 7x^3- 7x^2 + 6x - 2 <
0`


 Let us solve the
equation:


`x^5 - 5x^4 + 7x^3 - 7x^2 + 6x -2 =
0`


We will substitute with x=
1


==> 1 - 5 + 7 - 7 + 6 -2 =
0


==> 2 - 2 =
0


==> 0 = 0


Then x= 1
is a root for the equation.


==> (x-1) is a
factor:


`x^5 -5x^4 +7x^3 -7x^2 + 6x -2= (x-1)(x^4 -4x^3
+3x^2-4x +2)`


Now we will factor the last
terms.


First we will rearrange
terms.


`x^4 - 4x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x +2 = (x^4+3x^2 +2) +
(-4x^3-4x)`


`==> (x^4+3x^2 + 2)=
(x^2+1)(x^2+2)`


`==> (x^2+1)(x^2+2)
-4x(x^2+1)`


Now we will factor
x^2+1


`==> (x^2+1)(x^2+2 - 4x) = (x^2
+1)(x^2-4x+2)`


Now we will rewrite the
inequality:


`==> (x-1)(x^2+1)(x^2-4x+2) <
0`


`` We know that `x^2+1 `  is always greater than
zero.


`==> (x-1)(x^2-4x+2) <
0`


`` Now we will find the
roots.


==> x1=
1


==> `x2= (4+sqrt(16-8))/ 2 = (4+sqrt(8))/2 =
2+sqrt2`


`==> x3= 2-
sqrt2`


`` ==> Now we have the
intervals:


`(-oo, 1), (1, 2-sqrt2) , (2-sqrt2 , 2+sqrt2) ,
and (2+sqrt2, oo)`


`( -oo, 1) ==>
+`


`(1, 2-sqrt2) ==>
-`


`(2,2-sqrt2, 2+sqrt2) ==>
+`


`(2+sqrt2, oo) ==>
-`


Then, solution is:


x `in (
1, 2-sqrt2) U (2+sqrt2,
oo)`

determine all functions f(x) multiply with f(y)=f(x)+f(y)+xy-1

You need to determine all functions which are in the
relation f(x)*f(y) = f(x)+f(y)+xy-1


Put x=y=1 =>
f(1)*f(1) = f(1)+f(1)+1-1 => `f^2(1) =
2f(1)`


Subtract 2f(1) and then factor
f(1):


`f^2(1) -2f(1) = 0`  => `f(1)*(f(1) - 2) = 0`
=> f(1)=0


f(1) - 2 = 0 => f(1) =
2


Put f(1) = 0 => if y = 1 and x `in`  R, then the
relation  f(x)*f(y) = f(x)+f(y)+xy-1 suffers a
transformation.


f(x)*f(1) =
f(x)+f(1)+x-1


0 = f(x)+0+x-1 => f(x) =
1-x


If f(1) = 2 => y=1, x `in` 
R


2f(x) =  f(x)+2+x-1


Subtract
f(x)=> f(x) = x + 1


ANSWER: The
functions that check the relation f(x)*f(y) = f(x)+f(y)+xy-1 are f(x) = 1-x and f(x) = x
+ 1.

"Shakespeare creates interesting characters that an audience can relate to." Discuss with reference to themes and dramatic techniques in Macbeth.

This is an interesting question, because on the one hand
you could argue that it is impossible for a modern day audience to relate to an ancient
Scottish lord and witches and other such characters. However, I would want to answer
this question by the way in which Shakespeare presents this characters, as far distant
as they are through time and geography, as being profoundly human, and being subject to
the same kinds of desires, hopes and wishes as we have today, which of course makes us
able to relate to them and helps us to empathise with them, even if we don't necessarily
like them as characters.


Consider the character of Macbeth.
What drives him above all is his sense of ambition and his thirst for power. This is of
course a massive characteristic that all of us share or have experienced at some point
in our lives. Some people are just as consumed by their ambition as Macbeth is. Note the
way in which the prophecy of the witches clearly strikes a chord within Macbeth in Act I
scene 3:



This
supernatural soliciting


Cannot be ill; cannot be
good:


If ill, why hath it given me earnest of
success,


Commencing in a truth? I am Thane of
Cawdor:


If good, why do I yield to that
suggestion


Whose horrid image doth unfix my
hair,


And make my seated heart knock at my
ribs,


Against the use of nature? Present
fears


Are less than horrible
imaginings.



We can see the
beginning of the massive internal conflict that Macbeth faces as he oscillates between
thinking the prophecy is a good thing and recognising that it is a bad thing that is
being used to tempt him. His struggle about whether to act or not to act on his ambition
is one that the majority of the audience can relate to, making him a perfect example of
how Shakespeare created characters that could be relevant to an
audience.

hatered between duke senior and duke fredrick ,in as you like it?

It is more appropriate to reword the question as Duke
Frederick's hatred towards his elder brother Duke Senior, because throughout the play it
is Duke Frederick who acts with hatred towards his brother and we find no instance of
Duke Senior retaliating in the same spirit.  To begin with Duke Frederick usurps the
position of Duke Senior and banishes him into exile.  When many a lords express their
solidarity towards the latter, the former wastes no time in confiscating their
properties  and send them on exile.  Later on he also banishes the innocent and gentle
Rosalind, the only daughter of Duke Senior by charging her of treason and even threatens
to get her killed if she does not leave his court within the time limit of ten days.
When Rosalind questions the reason for her banishment, Duke Frederick declares, 'Thou
art thy father's daughter; there,s enough.'  These instances clearly indicate Duke
Frederick's hatred towards his brother Duke Senior.

What is the best way to revise science AQA Biology1B and Physics1A for those tricky multiple choice question papers?"Revision" means "study"...

Well, the best place to start is to speak to your teacher
and ask him or her what precisely it is you need to revise for the specific exam you are
taking. They are normally very good about this, so make sure you get everything you need
to revise and to focus on.


Secondly, you need to remember
as well that doing a multiple choice test can be a lot easier than the alternative.
After all, you have the answers there in front of you. You just need to identify which
one is correct. This can be a great bonus if you go through it carefully. The biggest
strategy that can help you as you take your test is POE, or process of elimination. This
is where you go through the answers one by one, crossing out the ones that are clearly
incorrect, and leaving you with the correct one. Also, recognise as well that in most
multiple choice selections of answers, you are going to have one absolutely bizarre one
that you can quickly cross out, and then at least two that are going to look as if it is
very close to the answer. You need to be aware of this and not get lured into selecting
one of these for the answer.


Finally, as you are going
through your revision notes, do anything to help you revise successfully. Revision is an
intensely personal thing in my experience, and what will work for you will not work for
others. So, be imaginative, and above all, own your notes. What I mean by that is draw
silly pictures, use colours, come up with strange and bizarre ways of remembering facts
and equations, walk around the room chanting them to a dance--whatever it takes you to
do to learn them. And above all, good luck!

In his speech "A Talk to Teachers," what relationship does James Baldwin establish with his audience in the opening two paragraphs? How does he...

In the first two paragraphs of his speech “A Talk to
Teachers,” James Baldwin establishes his relationship with his audience – and also his
own “ethos” (or character) – in a number of different ways, including the
following:


  • The very first word – “Let’s,” rather
    than “Let us” – immediately suggests a tone of informality. Baldwin instantly implies
    that he is not pretentious.

  • The sixth word of the speech
    – “we” – implies that Baldwin identifies with his audience.  He makes common cause with
    them; he doesn’t speak down to them.

  • By ending the first
    sentence by asserting that he and his audience are living in a “very dangerous time,”
    Baldwin implies that he is a serious person who wants to speak frankly and forthrightly
    to his audience.

  • The second sentence of the speech is as
    follows:

readability="5">

Everyone in this room is in one way or another
aware of that.



This sentence
gives the audience credit for being intelligent, well informed, and concerned (just like
Baldwin himself).


  • In the following sentence,
    Baldwin shows that he is willing to be honest even if honesty is not a popular trait at
    the moment:

readability="6">

We are in a revolutionary situation, no matter
how unpopular that word has become in this
country.



  • By
    telling his audience that if they try to change society,
    they

readability="8">

will meet the most fantastic, the most brutal,
and the most determined
resistance,



Baldwin implies
that he is courageous (since he is trying to inspire such change) and that his audience
can also be courageous (if they are willing to heed his inspiring
call).


  • The opening sentence of the second
    paragraph shows Baldwin’s modesty as well as his respect for his audience. He is
    deferential and politely asks the audience to allow him to proceed without possessing
    absolute expertise as a classroom teacher.

  • By beginning
    the next sentence with the words “It would seem to me,” Baldwin implies that he is
    tentative and non-dogmatic; he is willing to change his mind if someone can convince him
    that he is wrong. “It seems to me” would have been a more forceful way of beginning this
    sentence; “I think” would have been even more forceful. Baldwin, however, wants to
    present himself as a thoughtful person with an open
    mind.

  • At the same time, Baldwin shows that he is a man of
    convictions who relies on certain basic assumptions – assumptions with which few would
    disagree, as when he briefly declares: “Man is a social
    animal.”

In short, throughout these opening
paragraphs, Baldwin demonstrates his skills as a rhetorician, partly by presenting an
appealing image of his own character.

Where is there a soliloquy that exemplifies the inner conflict of Macbeth?Character of Macbeth,soliloquies in Macbeth

As one of the most famous soliloquies in
Macbeth, the dagger scene (Act I scene 7) best show the inner
conflict (that voice inside your head that causes you to question your own actions and
decisions).  In this soliloquy Macbeth stands along on the stage contemplating his task
at hand.



If
this deed were done when it is done, then it would better
If it were done
quickly. If the assassination of the King
Could be entangled with the
consequences, then I could,
With his murder, be a success. If only this
blow
Could be the be-all and the end-all right here,
Only here, upon
this bank and shallows of time,
We’d risk it for the life to
come.



Macbeth wants to be
king.  He wants the titles and power predicted for him by the witches, but as he stands
just outside of his soverign's room, he wonders if he is strong enough to commit the
deed.



Duncan
is here in double trust. First, he is here because I am his relative and his subject,
Both Strong reasons against the deed. Secondly, as his host, I should shut the door
against his murderer, Not carry the knife
myself.



Macbeth realizes the
importance of his position.  The king trusts him.  As his guest, Macbeth should be
protecting him- not planning his murder.  As his subject, he should be loyal to him- not
planning to take his crown.


While he ultimately does kill
Duncan, it is only after several moments of self reflection and personal pep talk to
persuade himself to follow the dagger (a sign in his mind) ushering him towards the
kings room and to his future.

Who is Blissful Beatrice?I am so confused.

Samuel Beckett's Dante and the Lobster
is a story about a young poet with much heart, but little confidence, who has
to learn how to emerge from his own inconsistent world to find his voice. It alludes in
a good part, and it is inspired by, Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy
not only in the naming of characters, but in adding parts of the
Divine Comedy to the original
plot.


The specific part of the story to which you refer can
be found in the beginning where it reads,


readability="12">

It was morning and Belacqua was stuck in the
first of the canti in the moon. He was so bogged that he could move neither backward nor
forward. Blissful Beatrice was there, Dante also, and she explained the spots on the
moon to him. She shewed him in the first place where he was at fault, then she put up
her own explanation. She had it from God, therefore he could rely on its being accurate
in every particular.



It is
understandable for this fragment of the story to be confusing, as it is taken directly
from the storyline in Dante's Divine Comedy. It refers to the part
of the story where the poet, Belacqua, is enthralled reading the Divine
Comedy.
What Beckett is stating in that part of the story is that both Dante
AND the very blissful and beautiful Beatrice from the story were in his thoughts,
specifically during the part of the Divine Comedy where Beatrice
shows Dante the Kingdom of Heaven.


Historically and
literary speaking, the "Blissful" Beatrice refers to Dante's love interest in the
Divine Comedy, who is, in turn, inspired by Dante Alighieri's one
and only true love, Beatrice Portinari (1265-1290). Dante's personal love story
basically states that this lady, Beatrice, was someone whom Dante loved so much (they
never got married) that he opted to name his Divine Comedy heroine
after her. In the Divine Comedy, the character of Beatrice is who
points to Dante to heaven, and who explains the bliss of Paradise and eternity. Her
character represents, love, purity, grace, and beauty. This is why Beckett refers to her
as "blissful".


Therefore, in summary. Beatrice is a
character in the Divine Comedy, inspired by a real woman named
Beatrice whom Dante loved. There is no character in Dante and the
Lobster
named "Blissful Beatrice". The word"blissful" is merely used as an
added adjective by Beckett to refer to the original Beatrice's lovely life as an angel
in heaven.

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, what are some of the flaws exhibited by Gawain and the other members of the court (including the king) before...

In the famous medieval poem Sir Gawain and the
Green Knight
, King Arthur and the members of his court exhibit a number of
common human flaws before the Green Knight makes his appearance.  These flaws include
the following (as found in the Marie Boroff
translation):


  • The king and his courtiers seem
    somewhat immature. They delight in partying and seem to have forgotten the need for
    humility and for true Christian devotion. Little wonder, then, that they are immediately
    described, in the Boroff translation, as “bold boys”
    (21).

  • The king and his courtiers seem to have forgotten
    the true purpose and meaning of Christmas, which should ideally be a time of offering
    thanks to God for the birth of Christ. Instead, they seem to think of it as a time of
    self-indulgent celebration, as when the poet
    says,

readability="8">

. . . the feast was in force full fifteen
days,


With all the meat and the mirth that men could
devise.
(44-45)



  • Admittedly
    Arthur and his courtiers do attend religious services during this period (63-65), but
    the attention devoted to religious worship is minimal compared to the attention devoted
    to having a good time in all the most worldly senses of the term
    (37-70).

  • The court is described in ways that associate
    it, and especially the queen, with luxury (72-80).

  • There
    may be some irony in the description of Guenevere as a “Fair queen, without a flaw”
    (81); certainly readers who knew the later history of Guenevere as an adulteress would
    be likely to find this description ironic.

  • Arthur himself
    is described in ways that make him sound immature (“So light was his lordly heart, and a
    little boyish” [85; see also 89]).

  • More significantly,
    Arthur is associated explicitly with pride (that is, self-centeredness, the root of all
    sin according to Christians): “a point of pride pricked him in heart”
    (90).

In short, Arthur and his court seem to be
in true need of the lessons the Green Knight eventually teaches, especially the lessons
of humility, maturity, and the true meaning of Christmas and the Christian
religion.


Certainly Gawain learns, by the end of the poem,
that the elaborately false humility he displays when the Green Knight first appears
(354-61) is nothing like the genuine humility he feels by the end of the
work.

What are some facts we are given about Sam in Seedfolks?

To be honest, we aren't actually told that much about Sam
in terms of specific details. His account, however, does allow us to infer the kind of
person that he is and he does tell us something about his past, in particular the kind
of work he has been involved in. The allusions that he makes to the Bible and the way
that he knows the origin of the word paradise indicates that he is an educated man. His
sadness and the way that the communal garden quickly devolves into every man for himself
shows that he is somebody that cares deeply about integration and social equality, and
he is clearly a talkative person who likes to get to know
people.


Sam tells us he is 78 and that he likes to
challenge prejudices, talkign to people so that they can see he is "friendly, no matter
what they've heard about whites or Jews." His goal is "Sewing up the rips in the
neighbourhood," which is of course very similar to what he used to do
before:



I
used to try to patch up the whole world. For thirty-six years I worked for different
groups, promoting world government, setting up conferences on pacifism, raising money,
stuffing envelopes.



Now, Sam
has "switched battlefields," trying to continue the same work but focusing on this
communal garden.

What color is Emily's rose in "A Rose for Emily"?

Despite the title of William Faulkner's Southern gothic
short story, "A Rose for Emily," Emily never receives a rose, but it is this fact that
nonetheless directly relates to the title. The red rose, symbolic of love throughout
most of the world, was something for which Emily Grierson desperately desired but never
received. Emily's father seemed to be distant and domineering, yet he may have given her
what little love she ever received. Emily had few friends and few suitors. When Homer
Barron appeared in town, it appeared that this outsider might provide her with the love
that she so wanted. But Homer deserted her, leaving her to spend the rest of her life as
the lonely spinster she had already become. There are flowers present at her funeral,
but no roses are mentioned: The only suggestion of a rose is found in the upstairs
bedroom where Homer's body was found. The room was


readability="6">

... decked and furnished as for a bridal: upon
the valance curtains of faded rose color. Upon the rose-shaded
lights...



It was the color of
the flower that Emily so yearned but never received.

What is the Frankfurt School?

The Frankfurt School is a school of thought in sociology
that traces its origins to Marxist thought.  The Frankfurt School's ideas are also known
as critical theory.


The major tenet of this school is that
knowledge about what is best for society comes not from experience but from reason or
logic.  Because all people have the capacity to reason, all should be able to
participate in creating society and the rules that govern it.  Starting from this idea,
scholars of this school of thought can analyze and critique socieites.  Their basis for
critique is that all societies should allow all groups to participate fully in political
and economic life.  Any society that does not allow this or which deprives some groups
of power is not a good and rational society.

● Where do embryonic stem cells come from and why is their use controversial?● Are somatic stem cells a good alternative? Why or why not?●...

Stem Cells (SC) have the ability to develop into many
different cell types during early life.  They can replenish and repair different types
of tissue.  When a stem cell divides it can become a new stem cell, or differentiate
into another, more specific type of cell such as a blood cell, brain cell or liver
cell.


Stem cells are medically useful because they can be
stimulated to become a specific cell type needed to repair or replace tissue or an
organ.  They are uncommitted and therefore represent a cellular “wild-card” that can be
induced to become any needed cell type.


Embryonic Stem
Cells (ESS):  Embryos, by nature of their primitive stage of development are a rich
source of stem cells.  In SC research, embryos are harvested from in vitro
fertilization.  After the SC are harvested, the embryos are donated for research (with
donor consent).


Controversy:  The use of ESS is
controversial because many feel the embryos from which they came are living creatures
and should not be sacrificed for medical science.  Furthermore, some feel that creation
of “life “ and growing of these cells in the laboratory in this manner is
immoral.


Somatic (Adult) Stem Cells (SSC):  These have been
found in many adult organs that have the ability of rapid cellular turnover, and
self-repair.  They have been found in many organs, even the brain.  It is hoped that
science can learn how to harvest these cells, then induce them to become organ cell
types needed to replace or repair diseased or deficient organs.  An example this
treatment would be the use of spinal cord stem cells to treat
paralysis.


Induced Pleuripotent Stem Cells (iPSC):  These
are adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to become like embryonic SC.  It
is not yet known if they will be as useful as ECC in treatment of
disease.


Note:  Use of somaatic stem cells or iPSC bypasses
the moral/ethical issues associated with the use of embryonic stem
cells.


The reference is an exhaustive treatise on stem
cells, produced by the National Institutes of Health.

In what places does humor occur in "Two Kinds"?

Although the story is heartbreaking in a way, there is
actually a lot of humor in “Two Kinds.”


The
Chinese Shirley Temple


Jing-mei’s mother is so
concerned with making her a prodigy that she is willing to try anything.  They watch
Shirley Temple movies as though they are “training
films.”



My
mother would poke my arm and say, "Ni kan.You watch." And I would
see Shirley tapping her feet, or singing a sailor song, or pursing her lips into a very
round O while saying "Oh, my
goodness."



Her mother's
attempts to get Jing-mei a talent never seem to have anything to do with what the girl
wants or can do. Imagining the mother and daughter watching, analyzing, and emulating
Shirley Temple together has an element of the ridiculous to it, which injects humor into
the story.


The Failed
Attempts


The many failed attempts to make
Jing-mei a prodigy are actually quite funny.  She tries to memorize the capitals of
countries, passages from The Bible, and other tests.  Nothing
sticks.



But
sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient. "If you don't hurry up and get me out of
here, I'm disappearing for good," it warned. "And then you'll always be
nothing."



Eventually,
Jing-mei will have had enough. Her mother, however, does not give up so
easily. 


Mr.
Chong


Jing-mei’s lessons with Mr. Chong are sad
in some ways, but they are humorous too.  Mr. Chong can’t hear, so Jing-mei just plays
whatever she wants and never really tries.


readability="8">

He taught me all these things, and that was how I
also learned I could be lazy and get away with mistakes, lots of
mistakes.



The time with Mr.
Chong is not put to good use. Jing-mei could learn, but by now she does not want to.
It's no surprise she slacks off when her piano teacher is
deaf.


In these three instances, there are elements of
ridiculousness and humor behind the tragedy of "Two Kinds."

In the story "On The Rainy River," what are three important quotes?

I would want to start off by talking about the author's
impression of the war from which he was fleeing. Although he was, by his own account,
politically naive, at the same time, he had severe questions about the justness of the
Vietnam war:


readability="8">

Certain blood was being shed for uncertain
reasons. I saw no unity of purpose, no consensus on matters of philosophy or history or
law. The very facts were shrouded in uncertainty: Was it a civil war? A War of national
liberation or simple
aggression?



Such questioning
shows the basis for the narrator's decision to try and jump being drafted by fleeing to
Canada like so many others.


Then I would refer to the
reason why the speaker does not actually cross the border as he planned to do. When he
finally has the opportunity to leave the US, he does not take this opportunity, for the
following reasons:


readability="12">

I couldn't endure the mockery, or the disgrace,
or the patriotic ridicule. Even in my imagination, the shore just twenty yards away, I
couldn't make myself be brave. It had nothing to do with morality. Embarrassment, that's
all it was.



Note how this
leads into the final paragraph of the story, which presents us with something of a
paradox:



The
day was cloudy. I passed through towns with familiar names, through the pine forests and
down to the prairie, and then to Vietnam, where I was a soldier, and then home again. I
survived, but it's not a happy ending. I was a coward. I went to the
war.



Such quotes are
improtant because they show how Tim O'Brien went to war because of the fear of being
mocked and disparaged if he chose not to go. However, the end of the story challenges
our assumptions by the author calling himself a "coward" because he actually went to the
war. Putting these three quotes together, we can see that Tim O'Brien actually
considered himself a "coward" because he did not act on his beliefs and allowed himself
to be shamed into participating in a war that he was deeply uncertain
about.

What are the social factors that helped to cause the collapse of the Han Dynasty?Social Han

Perhaps the most important social factor that helped to
end the Han Dynasty was the idea of the "mandate of Heaven."  This idea, which came from
Confucianism, held that a country would have good fortune so long as the government
really had the approval of the gods.  If bad things were to happen, this would show that
the gods had withdrawn their approval of the government.


As
the Han Dynasty became weaker, bad luck also struck China.  There were a series of
natural disasters like floods and famines that afflicted the agricultural areas of the
country.  Because of the idea of the mandate of Heaven, these disasters were taken by
many as a sign that the gods no longer approved of the Han Dynasty's
rulers.


As people came to believe this, they were, of
course, more likely to be willing to oppose the Han government.  This led to rebellions
such as the Yellow Turbans Rebellion in which rebels were led by religious leaders who
promised a utopian society would ensue.


Thus, the Confucian
idea of the mandate of Heaven came to be a major social problem for the Han as their
dynasty collapsed.

Explain the meaning of "That art thou."

That Thou Art (Tat Tvam Asi). The direct meaning of the
word 'THAT' comprises the conditioned Brahman (associated with the limited adjuncts of
creation, preservation and destruction and endowed with Omniscience, Lordship,
Omnipotence and similar attributes) and Pure Consciousness which is its unrelated
substratum.


Likewise the direct meaning of the word 'THOU'
comprises the jiva or individual soul (associated with the limiting adjuncts of the
body, mind and the sense organs and endowed with such traits as little knowledge, little
power, and dependence), and Pure Consciousness which is its unrelated
substratum.


But there is also an implied meaning of the
words 'THAT' and 'THOU', namely Pure Consciousness itself, unassociated with any
limiting adjuncts. It is common practice to explain a statement through its implied
meaning when the direct meaning contradicts actual experience: when we say that a red
hot iron ball burns something, we say the direct agent of burning is the iron; but the
implied though real agent is fire, unassociated with
iron.


Again in the statement "He spent the night on a
sleepless pillow", the word 'sleepless' does not refer to the pillow but to the person
who used the pillow. Similarly in the Vedic statement 'THAT THOU ART' the word "ART"
denoted the identity of 'THAT' and "THOU", which directly refers to the conditioned
Brahman and the embodied soul respectively. But this identity is obviously absurd, since
they are poles asunder. Therefore, we must explain the statement by its implied
meaning.


The identity is really based upon the Pure
Consciousness which is the unrelated substratum of both. The limiting adjuncts in both
cases are the creation of ignorance and therefore unreal; so these must be
discarded.


Therefore the statement "THAT THOU ART" really
conveys a
transcendental experience of oneness which is beyond the body,
mind, senses and ego and the sensations associated with them. When a person realises
this oneness with Brahman. he is oblivious of the idea that he is an embodied
being.

How did Japanese tactics in the defense of Okinawa differ from those on other islands in the Pacific?

Brettd is, as usual, right on with his answer.  However, I
would add one thing to his answer that will supplement it, not dispute
it.


As he says, the main difference was that Ushijima
defended in depth.  But the point that needs to be made here is that he was trying hard
to defend for as long as possible and to inflict the maximum possible casualties on the
enemy.  This may sound obvious, but this is not really how things were always done.  In
many cases, other Japanese commanders opted for what the Japanese called "honorable
death" instead of fighting for as long as possible.


The
Japanese word for this "gyokusai" and it is written like
this:


玉砕.  That first character means "jewel" and the
second means to break or crush.  That shows the Japanese attitude towards death at that
time.  They felt that their own deaths and how they happened were more important than
killing the enemy.


Because of this, Japanese commanders on
places like Saipan tended to order "gyokusai," or what Americans called "banzai
charges."  These allowed the soldiers to die in an honorable way, but they were much
less effective than holing up in caves and fighting to the death would have
been.


On Okinawa, Ushijima forbade such things and for the
most part made that stick.  Thus, his defense was much more deadly than that mounted by
other commanders on other islands.


So, I'm agreeing in
general with BrettD.  But I would shift the focus to the idea that Ushijima's goal was
to kill more of the enemy and delay their victory, not to ensure that his own soldiers
got an "honorable death."

What literary devices could I use to trace the theme of paralysis throughout "Eveline"?

Certainly, religious allusions play a large part in the
paralysis of Eveline, who is haunted by her promises to the Blessed Margaret Mary
Alacoque, a beatified nun who introduced devotion to the Sacret Heart of Jesus.  Her
strong Catholic faith, which Joyce himself felt stultified the individuality of the
Irish, also effects Eveline's paralysis as she stands praying to God "to direct her, and
to show her what was her duty" because nothing happens. The photograph of the priest,
symbolic of the strong role of religion as well as emigration as his name is unknown,
suggests that Eveline may lose spiritual identity by emigrating. Her name, too, is a
religious allusion. With her biblical name, little Eve, she must make a spiritual choice
between the "good" devotion of a daughter and the potential evil in running off
unmarried with a man.


Another symbol is Death, which is
prevalent throughout the narrative, in memories of the mother and Ernest. In one
instance, in which Eveline has the "pitiful vision" of her mother's life, the utterance
of the famous crux, "Derevaun Seraun!  Derevaun Seraun!"--is an aural symbol of death
that Eveline realizes at a subconscious level.  This phrase is generally assumed to be
corrupt Gaelic and may mean "the end of pleasure is pain" or "the end of song is raving
madness."


In addition to the religious allusions and
symbolism, the connotations of certain words help to bring about Eveline's paralysis. 
For instance, that she is going to marry a sailor suggests a certain instability to her
relationship with Frank, who may easily meet someone else in another port, not to
mention his being gone much of the time.  The connotations of the city of Buenos Ayres
are also negative as it is a foreign city that at the time of this story attracted many
adventurers.  The phrase "Going to Buenos Ayres" was also then slang for taking up a
life of prostitution.


The metaphoric phrases "A bell
clanged upon her heart" and "he would drown her" indicate that Eveline is suffering from
an inability to move forward mentally as she contemplates boarding the ship.  Feeling as
though there is danger in her leaving, Eveline grips the iron railing, a railing that is
symbolic of the strong, but corroded ties that she has to her dysfunctional family. For,
it is as though Eveline is figuratively in irons, handcuffed or chained; she is a
prisoner to her self-deception, religious servility, and dependency upon her
family.

When is dramatic, situational, verbal and/or cosmic irony used in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour"?

Irony comes into play at the end of Chopin's short story.
 Throughout the story we've heard how Mrs. Mallard's husband died in a train accident.
 She cries then goes to her room to collect herself, or so her friends think.  While she
is in her room, she thinks about her life and what it will be like now that she no
longer has to "bend" to someone else.  She thinks about her life and how she is now
"Free! Free! Free." While hugging herself with the excitement that life now offers her,
her sister, Josephine, pleads to be let in.  Josephine knows her sister has "heart
trouble" and is worried that she will cry herself sick.  The dramatic irony occurs when
we, the audience, know that this is not the case.  In fact, it's quite the
opposite.


When Mrs. Mallard finally emerges and glides down
the stairs, the door opens.  Who can it be? Mr. Mallard, her husband! He is very much
alive and was actually nowhere near the accident.  Josephine gasps as her sister
collapses to the ground.  The doctors decide that it was her heart; the weakened Mrs.
Mallard's heart was too happy to see her husband, and so it gave out.  We know the
truth.  She was not happy that her husband was alive, and so she died instantly.  Quite
the opposite of what one would expect to see when they find out their husband is
alive.

How does Pepys’s diary reveal his place in London life in the 1660s?

The very famous diary of Samuel Pepys is one of the few
legitimate and most important documents that has survived history and that is narrated
from a primary source (Pepys, himself). If you are familiar to French history, Pepys
would be the English counterpart in Charles II's England to Le Duc of Saint-Simon in
Louis XIV's France. Pepys, however, is an ordinary man who experienced extraordinary
chances.


Samuel Pepys was a very fortunate man who occupied
an important position as a businessman during a time when England had just lost its
"Lord Protector" Oliver Cromwell- A man who overthrew the monarchy but ended up ruling
England as if he, himself, were a king.


Pepys apparently
took note of the incredible number of changes that were taking place in England, since
the rumors of a reconstruction of the throne began to surface. Indeed, during bulk of
his writings, the Kingdom of England returned back to its original format bringing
Charles II to the throne.


Along with the restoration, a
number of radical changes took place in theater, literature, music, and the social life
of England.


This being said, Pepys gives us the whole
package without giving us things we do not want to know about. He would write about his
breakfasts, lunches and dinners, about his relationship with his wife, and even of the
beatings he would give his "wretched" servants (out of love and care, as he would
state).


Since he is speaking honestly and from a personal
point of view, he would even admit to having affairs and even beating his wife "for
nagging so much". He placed special emphasis on his loyalty to new regime, provide
interesting gossip about the love life of Charles II (a peculiarly promiscuous King),
and the drama among the King's mistresses at Court.


In all,
Pepys gives us what we could compare to a delicious dish. You get the drama, the gossip,
the secrets, and the happenings of a time in history where much was happening in every
field from politics to poetry. It is a pleasure to read, and it has enough substance to
analyze for many many subtopics and theses.

Why does Winston feel that the man sitting next to him in the cafeteria is "not a real human but some kind of dummy?This is in chapter five pg 48

Winston Smith’s observation – that the man sitting near
him “was not a real human being but some kind of dummy” – takes place during lunch in
the canteen of the Ministry of Truth. Winston has just finished listening to a lecture
on the destruction of words from the Newspeak expert Syme. The ‘anti-philologist’ –
literally a ‘hater of words’ – ends his paean to the linguistic narrowing of thought
with the remark that “[political] Orthodoxy means not thinking – not needing to think.
Orthodoxy is unconsciousness”. The Party man sitting near Winston, loudly parroting the
principles of Ingsoc, eyeless because the light is reflecting off his spectacles, is a
kind of convenient model for Syme’s stated end of political orthodoxy.
  

Which would you say is Masaccio's most famous artwork that reflects the early Renaissance period the best?

A good example of the work of
Masaccio (1401-1428) and how it relates to the artistic
innovations of the Early Italian Renaissance is his fresco, The
Holy Trinity, with the Virgin and Saint John and donors

(Santa Trinità). The fresco depicts
the Crucifixion of Jesus with an unusual barrel vault in the background, which greatly
enhances the three-dimensionality of the work. It is the earliest known surviving work
to use systematic linear perspective, and the fresco features several of Masaccio's
innovative techniques, including a vanishing point and the occupation of the viewer's
space (with characters kneeling in the extreme bottom "front" of the piece). Its framed
background was inspired by Roman triumphal arches, and Masaccio employs a technique
known as trompe l'oeil ("deceives the eye") in which the barrel
vault is


readability="6">

"... divided into squares with rosettes that
diminish and are foreshortened so well that there seems to be a hole in the
wall."



The fresco, which can
be viewed in Florence's Santa Maria Novella Church, is highly three-dimensional except
in one respect: The God who stands behind the Crucifix is given greater space since he
is "an immeasurable being." The painting is also the first known work to use the iconic
combinations of the Virgin Mary, St. John the Evangelist, God and the tomb in a single
piece.

What is meant by semantically negative and structurally negative sentences?

Sentences in English may be negated (made negative) by
negation markers or by sentence meaning. Negative
markers
are no, not, neither, none, nor, etc.
Negative sentence meaning conveys negation through a variety of different means, for
example, by using negating words such as decline,
absent, renege, revoke, refuse
, etc.

These two methods of
sentence negation are called structural negation and semantic
negation
. Structural
negation
is when a sentence is negated (made negative) through
negation markers: Al did not wish to see the
film.
The negative marker not is placed after the modal
verb in the sentence of negation. These sentences of negation use a modal verb that
precedes the negative marker: did
not.


Semantic
negation
is when a sentence is negated through
sentence meaning: Beatrice declined to be civil
and amiable to Benedic
. This can be paraphrased as Beatrice was not
civil nor amiable to Benedic.
This method of negation may be harder to
understand because the negation is contained in the vocabulary
rather than in easily recognized
markers.


Another means of semantic negation is through
ironic sentences that mean the opposite of what they
directly say, for example, That will teach you to go on blind dates
as paraphrased actually means, That will teach you NOT to go on blind
dates.

What is a good theme for The Hunger Games?

Theme, as I understand it, is basically a one or two word
description of the moral of a story.  In other words, “What am I supposed to
learn from this?”
  There can be many themes in one story.  For example, love
is a common theme, and so is unrequited love (that is love where one person feels
something for another, but it is not returned).  In Collins’ The Hunger Games,
it is evident that love between sisters, and the unrequited love between
Peeta and Katniss both exist as a tool to make the novel more interesting and to make
the reader feel something for the characters when something good or bad happens to
them. 


In short, the theme exists as a backdrop for what
happens in a story and serves as a message or moral.  Some other themes in this book are
survival, man vs. nature, man vs. man, and man vs. self. 

How much heat would be required to warm oceans by 1.0 degree celcius. V of ocean water 137 x 10 ^7 km ^3 and the density of seawater is...

We calculate temperature change due to heat transfer with
this equation:


Q = m x c x delta
T


Where  Q stands for the enegry transferred, m is the mass
of the material, c is the specific heat capacity of the material, and delta T is the
change in temperature.


In this case, c = 4.186 joules per
gram per degree C


Delta T =
1


We need to calculate the mass of the oceans in grams for
m


1 Km = 1 x 10^5 cm; we cube this to
get:


1 Km^3 = 1 x 10^15
cm^3


Then we can do the conversion
-


137 x 10^7  Km^3   x    1 x 10^15 cm^3/1 Km^3 = 
1.37x10^24


Now, back to Q = m X c X delta
T


Q = 1.37x10^24 x 4.186 x 1


Q
= 5.735x10^24 Joules

Which groups of people tended to be loyalists, or British sympathizers, during the American Revolution?have supporting details.

a great majority of loyalists would have been wealthy,
landed business owners in the Northeast. They had the most to lose if the revolution
didn't work. They were also most likely to be connected to business owners in the UK and
even carry family name or title there. Included in this group would have been 1st and
2nd generation gentry (upper class, entitled) people. Most of the revolutionaries came
from more blue collar backgrounds or were from established lineages and multiple
generations on the continent who were further separated from the mother
country.
