What is an example of personification in the short story Everyday Use?

Personification is attributing qualities of a human being
to something that is not human.  In this story, personification is very closely tied to
the basic theme of the story which is the contrast between Magge and Dee.  One woman is
seeking bits and pieces of her heritage after she has adopted a new one.  The other is
still living the live of a traditional southern black woman. For Dee, life has presented
her with a degree of education and wealth.  For Maggie, acceptance of her simple lot in
life is evident in her lack of confidence.

Personfication
occurs in the following line: "Like good looks and money, quickness passes her by."  
The use of personification is evident in the way that implies an active intent on the
part of good looks and money to avoid Maggie.  In a way, this seems to imply that
Maggie's life is one dictated to her by fate, something she cannot
change.

What is the theme of Charles, by Shirley Jackson?

The short story "Charles", by Shirley Jackson, has two
prevalent themes: identity and gender.

The theme of
identity is identified by the fact that Laurie's mother has no clue that the child,
Charles, her son is talking about is, in fact, her own son. The theme is compounded by
the way that Laurie's parents fail to see his behavior as inappropriate, but they both
see the problems with the behaviors of Charles. The parents cannot identify the
behaviors of Charles with those of their own son. Therefore, the parents have no clue
who their child really is.

Another way to examine this
theme is through examining Laurie. He does not seem to have a full grasp on his own
identity (not surprising given he is only in
Kindergarten).

The second theme defined in the story is one
of gender. Many people would align the name of Laurie with a girl. The name Laurie is
not typically associated with that of a boy. The name which Laurie uses as his alternate
ego is, by far, much more masculine. Therefore, one could justify that Laurie has issues
with his own assumed feminine identity and needs to create a more masculine one. He does
this by creating Charles, a boy who speaks inappropriately and behaves like the "typical
boy."

What is the basic cause of a sonic boom.

To help understand how a sonic boom is created we must
first understand the nature of a sound wave created in air by a stationary object and
what happens when waves interfere with each other.

Sound is
created when a vibrating object disturbs a medium, causing the molecules in the medium
to alternately compress and rarefact (separate) in rhythm with the object's vibrations.
 In the case of sound we normally hear, the medium is air (although it does not have to
be which is why we can hear sounds underwater).  If the object is allowed to vibrate
freely in open air on a calm day, the compressed and rarefacted molecules of air will
transfer the vibrations to molecules close to them.  Those molecules will transfer the
vibration to molecules next to them, etc...  The result is a "wave" of compressed air
moving away from the source of the vibration in all three directions simultaneously.
 These waves of sound have a speed called the "speed of sound" which is determined by
the atmospheric conditions in the area where the sound is
created.

The intensity, or "loudness", of the sound gets
less the further away the compression moves from the source.  In fact it obeys the
"inverse square law" which means that for each time it doubles the distance from the
source, the sound becomes 1/4 as intense.

When two waves
overlap, they interfere with each other.  For the purposes of a sonic boom we need only
concern ourselves with constructive interference.  In constructive interference the
pressure and rarefaction of the the two waves overlap.  When this happens the pressures
add together making an even stronger wave.  If three waves overlap and constructively
interfere there is an even stronger pressure wave created producing a more intense
(louder) sound.  The more waves that constructively interfere with each other, the more
intense the resulting pressure becomes.

In the case of a
plane creating a sonic boom, the plane moving through the air makes a pressure wave by
pushing air out of its way as it moves forward.  It is not vibrating as in the simple
example above, but it is making pressure in the air which we can hear as sound.  The
sound leave the plane in all directions, but is most intense in front of the plane.  As
the plane approaches the speed of sound, the new wave it creates overlaps the wave it
created earlier causing constructive interference.  When the plane reaches the speed of
sound, all of the sound it is creating and pushing out in front of the plane is
overlapping all of the sound it has just created producing a lot of constructive
interference.  The result is one huge wave of pressure that builds up in front of the
plane.  Even though the plane may be far away, and the sound has to obey the inverse
square law, there is so much pressure created by the plane moving at the speed of sound
that the intensity of the sound is still very high when it reaches the ground. When that
pressure reaches our ears we hear it as a loud explosion of sound.  It is that loud
"boom" of a single, large wave of pressure hitting out ears that we call a sonic
boom.

How were women limited in Jane Austen's time? At least 3 points with evidence.Please use evidence from Pride and Prejudice...

The rights of women in Jane Austen's England were limited
in several ways. Women could not be admited to universities, they could not vote, and
they could not hold elected office. The Church of England being the official state
religion, women could not be priests or bishops. A woman could be Queen of England, but
only if there were no legitimate male heirs. Many positions of power, especially those
requiring university degrees, were not open to women. Only men could pursue military or
legal careers, for example. Inheritance of titles and estates normally went to the
eldest son. Married women could not hold property independently of their husbands until
passage of the Married Woman's Property Act.

What is the movement of a poem?

If you are asking about a specific poem, you need to
submit another question and give the title of the piece you are
analyzing.

In general, many readers of poetry find a sense
of movement in the poems they read is imparted by the combined use of rhythm and rhyme.
Rhythm refers to the pattern of accented and unaccented syllables frequently used in
poetry and most obvious when the poems are read aloud. Different combinations are used
by authors to create the effect they are attempting to convey. The boldface syllables
are the accented ones in this
"poem."

Twin-kle
twin-kle lit-tle
star!

How
I won-der what you
are.

Rhyme contributes to
movement by connecting the lines of a poem. The reader feels anticipation as s/he
recognizes the pattern being created by the repetition of certain combinations of
letters and sounds. In the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost,
the 1st, 2nd and 4th line of each stanza rhyme. The 3rd line of each stanza rhymes with
the 1st, 2nd, and 4th line of the next stanza.

Whose woods these are I think I
know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me
stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with
snow.

My little horse must think it
queer
To stop without a farmhouse
near
Between the woods and frozen
lake
The darkest evening of the
year.

He gives his harness bells a
shake
To ask if there is some
mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of
easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely,
dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I
sleep,
And miles to go before I
sleep.

why pygmalion is a Shavian play?George Bernard Shaw

A Shavian play is any play that relates to or has the
charateristics (humor, wit, style) of Gerorge Bernard Shaw.  You can see how his name is
a Latinized form of Shavian.  Since Shaw in fact wrote Pygmalion,
it is a Shavian play.

Pygmalion
is characteristic of Shaw because it follows his typical style.  While he
shunned the "Art for arts sake" mantra of the time, his plays often
do not end in the happy boy wins girl structure that audiences are accustomed to. 
Instead he wishes to challenge his audience and force to them to question and confront
current social issues: traditional gender roles, issues with class and economics, etc.
Since Pygmalion touches on these standards, in the style of Shaw,
it is a Shavian play.

ON A METER SCALE , TWO LONG PARALLEL CONDUCTORS AT RIGHT ANGLE TO IT PLACED AT 2cm & 6cm. THEY CARRY CURRENTS OF 1A & 3A RESPECTIVELON A METER...

The figure is attached
below.

By definition the magnetic field induction `B`  of a
current `I`  that flows to a straight wire, at distance `R` from the wire
is

`B = mu*I/(2*pi*R)`

where
`mu` is the magnetic permeability of the medium.

Because
the currents are parallel and in the same direction the condition of having zero
magnetic field happens is a point between the two wires where the field of one wire
enters the page and the other exits the page.

`B_1 =B_2
rArr mu*I_1/(2*pi*R_1) =mu*I_2/(2*pi*R_2)`

`R_1/R_2
=I_1/I_2 rArr R_2 =3R_1`

with the condition `R_1 +R_2 =
6-2 =4 cm`

`R_1 +3*R_1 =4`

`4R_1 =4 rArr R_1 =1cm`

Thus
the field will be zero at `R_1 =1 cm` distance to the right of first wire. This means
that on the cm scale this point will be at the 3 cm
mark.

The correct answer is C) 3
cm
