What's the difference between God and Jesus?

Christianity
holds that God and Jesus are made of the same divine substance. This can be a little confusing,
especially when we talk about the risen Christ who ascends to heaven.

In
Christian tradition, the Holy Trinity is made up of three forms or incarnations of the divine-
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. All three of these are made of the same
"substance," God. Imagine if you were to take a ball of clay, and form it into
different shapes. You can make the clay into a cup, a human figure, even a tool. Just like that
one ball of clay can take different forms, Christians believe that God can take on different
forms with distinct qualities. The form God may take is dependent upon what is needed of
him.

Jesus is an incarnation of God- his divine substance existed before the
physical form was born, and returned to Heaven after his death. Jesus represents the form of God
the Son. 

Perhaps the one major difference between "God" and
"Jesus," is that Jesus was the physical form of God the Son on Earth. God on its own
does not have a physical form, it is just the divine energy. Though Jesus had a human form,
Christians believe his spirit was the same as that of God, and therefore he was
divine.

What is the setting in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels?

Swift's Travels into Several Remote
Nations of the World.  By Lemuel Gulliver (1726), aof eighteenth-century British
society and traveler's stories (which were very popular in England), has four settings, each
tied to one of Dr. Gulliver's four voyages.

When Gulliver's ship is wrecked
during his first voyage, he washes up on the beach in the land of Lilliput, where everyone
(except Gulliver) is about six inches tall.  Gulliver eventually becomes a nobleman of Lilliput,
initially helps the Lilliputians defeat the Blefuscans, their arch enemies, and then assists in
negotiating a peace treaty between the two countries.  While touring the island of Blefuscu,
Gulliver finds his wrecked boat, and with the help of the Blefuscans, refits the boat and is
eventually picked up by an English ship and returned to England.

On his
second voyage, Gulliver lands on the coat of Great Tartary, wanders away from the English
landing party, and is captured by the Brobdingnagians, who are about fifty or sixty feet tall.
 After being kept by a young girl as a curiosity, Gulliver ends up in the Brobdingnagian court
where the king becomes thoroughly disgusted by Gulliver's account of eighteenth-century British
politics and culture.  Gulliver eventually escapes from Brobdingnag but is marooned by Chinese
pirates on the island of Laputa.

Gulliver's third voyage (Laputa) allows
Swift to satirize the scientific community in Great Britain.  The Laputans, who are all
scientists, carry out experiments that have no practical value to the larger society: trying to
soften marble in order to make pillows; attempting to build houses and other buildings from the
top down; and training spiders to replace silkworms to create silk.  The Laputans spend so much
time thinking about science that they need servants to slap them with balloons to get their
attention on everyday life--eating, for example.

The fourth voyage to the
land of the Houyhnhnms, a country governed by intellectual horses and where humans are animals
known as "Yahoos," gives Swift the opportunity to criticize humanity.  Swift, in the
persona of Gulliver, argues, for example, that mankind should be, but is not, governed by reason
and that man allows the lowest part of his nature--lust and violent emotions--to govern his
nature.  Swift uses the Houyhnhnms to represent what mankind could be if mankind were ruled by
reason, and the Yahoos, who are violent and ungovernable, are unmistakeably men.  When Gulliver
returns to England, he is so alienated from men that he spends as much time as possible with
horses.

The four settings of Gulliver's voyages provide Swift with the
opportunity to discuss everything he feels is wrong with mankind in general and British society
specifically.

Now let us assume that:

y = e^x  ==> e^-x =

What actually happens at the end of "Young Goodman Brown"?

If you're

What we do know, however, is that Goodman Brown's mental state changed
irrevocably after the supposed event. While neither Goodman nor Faith was shown to have pledged
their complete allegiance to the devil, one thing is sure: the couple never again share the same
emotional intimacy they enjoyed previous to the unfortunate witches' Sabbath.

Essentially, we have no confirmation regarding Goodman's actual experience. All we

What is the structure of tragedy in Oedipus Rex?

The dramatic structure used byin is essentially the same
five-part structure found in tragic plays written by other ancient Greek playwrights, including
Aeschylus and Euripides.

Prologos. The play opens with a
prologos () which is the first entrance of one or more actors in the play.
These actors provide "" (background information) on the play for the audience
(although the audience is very familiar with the myths and legends on which the play is based),
and they set the play in motion.

What is "mock utopia" and how much is it true for "Gulliver's Travels"? Tell me in details please.

A "mock
utopia" is a place that seems utopicor whose citizens believe it to be utopicbut underneath
has flaws that gradually become apparent. Aldous Huxley's World State in Brave New
World is a classic mock utopia. It is engineered to make everyone "happy,"
but the price is the human soul.

In , the Houyhyhnhnms,
who are intelligent horses, appear to have created a utopic, perfect society, and Gulliver
certainly comes to believe they have. The Houyhyhnhnms live in complete order and peace, basing
all their decision-making on rationality. They have no words for lying because they don't lie,
finding it irrational to do so. Gulliver finds this society far superior to his own.

The Houyhyhnhnms, however, turn out to be too rational, for they lack emotion and for
that reason, don't necessarily value life or have any special attachment to their offspring or
anyone else. For example, each Houyhyhnhnm couple is supposed to raise one girl and one boy, so
if they have two children of the same sex, they simply bring them to their society's annual
meeting and trade with another couple for a child of the opposite sex. Humans would probably
have trouble with that concept. Further, they don't mourn death: Gulliver, for instance, meets a
Houyhyhnhnm woman who comes calmly to lunch right after burying her husband at sea. This
passionlessness can be troubling.

We are meant to critique Gulliver's
excessive reaction to leaving their culture and returning to England, where he tries to live in
a barn with horses.

Why does Paulo Coelho use "the boy" instead of "Santiago" in his novel The Alchemist?

Coelho's
 is the perfect bildungsroman; that is to say, it is a story of the main
character's growth, education, and personal edification from novice to expert. Some may also say
it is a novel about rites of passage--those rituals one goes through in order to become an
adult. "The boy," as Coelho calls him, is just that, until he completes his personal
journey to find his treasure and learns the skills he needs to fulfill his personal legend. It
is a story of growing from boy to man.

The narrator, however, seems to be one
who perceives Santiago not unlike how a teacher or parent might speak about a son. For example,
even after Santiago finds his treasure and fulfills his personal legend, the author/speaker
still calls him "the boy" because he is still young and has his whole life ahead of
him. Yet there still seems to be a certain parental/son relationship between the speaker and the
boy, so "the boy" isn't dropped after all of the goals are achieved. Maybe another
reason that "the boy" isn't dropped eventually is to remind the reader that even
though he achieved his goals in many ways, he still wasn't completely a man until he returned to
Fatima and started his next quest. 

What are some symbols in "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings?"

There are a
number of symbols that play a significant role in the development of themes in Marquezs A Very
Old Man With Enormous Wings. The old mans wings are described as buzzard wings, dirty and
half-plucked . . . forever entangled in the mud. The wings emphasize that he is earthly and
human when he arrives in Pelayos home with dirty and torn wings. At the same time, however, the
presence of even these broken wings makes the observers believe that he is an angel, or not from
this world. With this duality established, the old man, by the end of the story, recovers his
strength and flies off under the power of his now strong, angular, and majestic wings. The
duality represented by the wings, then, can represent the theme of appearance versus reality and
the notion that there can be magic in that which appears to lack magic.

The
duality of the wings can also lead one to view the Old Man as a Christ figure. Christ is
believed by many to be both man and God, sharing...

It is a question of

compared to America today, but I wonder whether we are sliding gently, slowly, and unobtrusively
more and more towards it, especially in the light of recent security alerts. Sacrificing
individual freedom such as privacy in the light of terrorist attacks can very easily slip into
something much more pervasive and controlling. But maybe I am just being

Please provide a summary of the essay "Reflections on Exile" by Edward W. Said.

Said's
essay explores the implications of being exiled from one's homeland, with an emphasis upon the
special characteristics of the phenomenon in the modern age and the broader cultural factors
influenced by it.

Exile, Said asserts, has been viewed in literature in the
romanticized sense of somehow enriching the one who experiences it. This may be true in some
way, but the overriding fact is that there is something irredeemable and unbearable about it,
especially in the modern age when the technology available to governments wishing to expel
people from their homelands is overwhelmingly powerful.

Groups that have
been forced from their homeland have tended to engage in an extreme nationalism and a suspicion
of anyone not part of the group. The ethnicities Said regards as most typical of the attributes
caused by the phenomenon, in the twentieth century, are the Jews, Palestinians, and Armenians.
Each of these peoples, Said says, has had to construct a special kind of identity

Is Peyton Farquhar an idiot or a hero for what he did in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"?

An idiot?
Definitely not. "Foolhardy"? Possibly. A novice in the field of espionage?
Undoubtedly. Farquhar is willing to do anything he can to help the cause of the Confederacy, and
he hopes this spying mission will help him to land a battlefield commission.

... he chafed under the inglorious restraint, longing for the
release of his energies, the larger life of the soldier, the opportunity for distinction. That
opportunity, he felt, would come, as it comes to all in wartime. Meanwhile he did what he could.
No service was too humble for him to perform in the aid of the South, no adventure too perilous
for him to undertake if consistent with the character of a civilian who was at heart a
soldier...

Spying is a dangerous game, and Farquhar's
decision to undertake the burning of the Owl Creek Bridge is not an act of idiocy but one of
bravery. His big mistake was not recognizing that the man dressed in Southern garb who provided
him with the information about the bridge was in fact a Union soldier--also a spy, and probably
a much more experienced one. Farquhar can be blamed for being being gullible and naive, but his
actions were of a heroic nature. If successful, he would have helped to restrict Union movements
in his home state; instead, he will only be remembered for giving his life in the failed
attempt.

Was Banquo's ghost real or just a guilty conscious? During the banquet macbeth saw banquo's ghost.

I would say that
the ghost is real. Why? Two reasons. First, because the presence ofin the play already lets us
know that the play will include supernatural elements. Second, the stage directions call for the
ghost to actually be there, and so the audience would see the ghost too.
Now, is that
certain? No. It could still be a guilty conscience, but that's why I think it is real. People
are haunted privately in some traditions, due to their guilt, and that's what I think happened

Explain how Charles became a household joke at Lauries home in Shirley Jackson's short story "Charles."

In 's
short story "," Laurie is a kindergartner who comes home starting on the first day of
school with outrageous stories about a little boy in class. The little boy's name is Charles,
and he is quite a character. He says naughty things which Laurie takes great pleasure in

Somehow, of course, Laurie is free to all kinds of equally naughty things when he talks

Gee,youre dumb. He began to  laugh insanely.

What is meant by the statement, "everything is related to everything else"?

Coelho's
idea of everything being related to everything else helps to establish the magicalthat is
intrinsic to the work's effectiveness.  In order for magical realism to be accepted and for it
to be meaningful in the work, everything has to have meaning.  Events are not isolated and
random.  They are connected and have to be seen in a larger context.  Consider Melchizedek's
words to Santiago on this point:  "....there is a force that wants you to realize your
Personal Legend€¦[but] in order to find the treasure you will have to follow the omens.   In
this statement, interrelationship between elements of reality is critical.  The
"omens" are not random.  They are connected and related to one another, feeding into
the realization of the path and Personal Legends.  Santiago has to recognize that there is an
interrelated quality to being in the world.  Butterflies, hawks, and beetles are all connected
to something larger.  For Santiago, the crucible he must face is accepting that everything is
related to everything else and that there is meaning to all that is in the world.  The forces
that seek to tell Santiago that he cannot embrace the pursuit of his Personal Legend and that
there is no meaning to events are what he has to face down and defeat in order for him to
navigate successfully between his "flock" and his "treasure."

The presence of magical realism makes consciousness and qualities interrelated.  This
helps to compel Santiago and the reader to accept that there might be something larger beyond
us, of which we are an integral part.  There is meaning everywhere in the world because of the
beauty it features in being interconnected to everything else.  This becomes one of the meanings
of the idea that "everything is related to everything else."

Pretending that you were Madame, make a marking guide/ rubric for the students' art to be evaluated.

Awesome
question.  Really makes you think.  This one is a keeper!

I think that one of
the fundamental issues of a rubric of any kind is that it shows choices in what is valued.  A
teacher that designs a rubric a conscious call as to what they are valuing and what they are
weighing in the assessment of work.  Choices help to illuminate values, suggesting clearly that
individuals are the sum total of their choices.  In a rubric of the clones' artwork, one has to
assume this perspective. Madame believes that the clones are human and wishes to portray this to
the public.  She fervently stresses that art is a window to the soul. Hence, her rubric for
examining student work should reflect this.  For example, there might be a section of the rubric
in which Madame gauges how the artwork created "displays the emotional experience of human
beings."  This section could have comments in terms of what exact emotional experience is
being displayed.  At the same time, I think that a part of the rubric could talk about how the
artwork "features abstract expression that is intrinsic to the artistic construction of a
human being."  In this section of the rubric, art is developed as a complex experience,
something that human beings would develop.  Madame could assess the artwork on this realm as
well.  Another aspect of the rubric could be that Madame is able to develop a self- reflection
piece in which the clones write or talk about their own works of art.  What does the artwork
mean to them as they created it?  The artistic reflection from the artist about their work is as
human as one can get, and Madame could feature a part of the rubric in which the clones talk
about their own artwork.  In these areas, the rubric exhibits a fundamental belief that Madame
has in that "through art people exhibit their souls."  The clones can show this
through this rubric examining their art, helping to make Madame's case for
her.

To what extent was the use of atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki moral?

First, we
have to understand that this is a subjective question.  There is no objective way to determine
what is or is not moral.

Second, in order to answer this, we must in some
way define what we will say is moral.  In this situation, I would say that the use of the bombs
was moral if, on balance, they caused less suffering than would have happened had they not been
used.  Using this definition, I would argue that using the bombs was moral.  However, there is
no way...

What is a Socratic seminar?

A Socratic Seminar is a type of discussion
which anchors itself to a text or specific topic. The leader will ask open-ended questions to
fuel discussion and debate. Participants will listen intently to their peers and use critical
thinking skills to comment appropriately and add to the collective.

For
example, if the class is reading To Kill a Mockingbird, the teacher may put
some questions on the board such as, "What are the consequences of prejudice in today's
society?" and "Why is it important to stand up for what you believe in?" The
questions are open-ended but still connect to the text. Students will use their knowledge of the
text, their personal experiences, and real-world examples to explore numerous ways to answer the
questions.

In a classroom, a Socratic Seminar may start out as a teacher-led
endeavor, but over time and with practice, students should be able to hold a discussion on their
own with little prompting. But that means students need to be prepared.

To
prepare for a Socratic Seminar, it's important to know your topic. Make sure you've read the
book or any other materials relating to your topic. If allowed, bring notes or annotations to
the discussion so you can make informed comments that are factual and accurate.

While participating in a Socratic Seminar, you want to make sure you don't say too much
or say too little. Always give others a chance to speak, but don't be afraid to shift gears, ask
questions, or counter someone's point.

Please comment on the following quote from Act 5 of Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. In Act 5 Higgins states: "The great secret, Eliza, is not having...

Excellent
answer above. Higgins, in many ways, resembles Shaw himself. He represents the tradition of
science, which sees all people as equal, as against conventional society, in which people are
distinguished by money and inherited position. Higgins is concerned with the science of
linguistics, and can train Eliza to speak in the accent of a duchess, but cannot actually help
her understand the nuances of social relationships, to which he himself is utterly oblivious.
Higgins' analysis of language and social class functions satirically to skewer the pretensions
of British society, in which people were judged to a great degree by whether they had the
"right accent." "" also addresses nineteenth-century theories of
Indo-European philology in which the character of people was assumed to be determined to a
certain degree by racial characteristics attributed to linguistic groups. In showing that
Pickering transforms Eliza more than Higgins, Shaw is supporting a theory of cultural and
environment influence on character against the racial theories of "folk" character.
Shaw himself was quite interested in linguistic questions, and for many years was very involved
in an unsuccessful crusade to simplify and rationalize English spelling.

What are the keys to improving student achievement in a high-needs school?

I agree with
herappleness's answer which includes almost everything needed.  The addition I would make is the
teacher and the student's belief.  I had many of the most difficult students who came into my
class defeated and defiant because they truly believed that they could not be successful.  The
key to turning around schools is that teachers believe in ALL kids, and teaching every child
that they can experience success if they start where they are and build on what they already
know no matter how little that is.  Students were never allowed to not try, but the assignments
may have been only three sentences.  When they or parents asked me why, I explained that I could
tell if they understood the concept in three sentences and why practice something incorrectly?
 Students learned that they received credit even if the work was incorrect, so long as they
corrected it in their small group and made sure they understood.  When we looked at paragraphs,
several were put on the overhead and students looked for what the writer had done CORRECTLY.
 Then suggestions were made for improvement.  My students soon learned to always try, that they
too could be successful as they had also done something correctly on the paragraph, and then I
could turn them loose more often to look at each other's work.  They were overheard in the
lunchroom talking about which answer or paragraph they liked best!

The
difference was in their belief.  They believed that they could, they always tried no matter
what, and success was measured by what they learned and how they improved.  I still believe that
my students' high scores on state tests were because they believed in their own ability to
improve and were determined to show that on state tests.  They didn't opt out for the year, even
if they opted out once in a while like every student. This is why I am so sad that veteran
teachers are leaving teaching in droves, because now who will mentor the young teachers in how
to get students to be successful?

The Black

time called it in Latin astra mors, meaning "dreadful death." It

fleas which only lived on Asian Black Rats. The disease is thought to have entered Europe via
ships from Asia carrying the rats which are not native to Europe.

not. He gives examples of the numerous times the American government became involved in the
internal matters of other governments, changed sides depending on the circumstances and reacted
only when its national interests were at stake. What the author means to say, in short, is that
the US government makes its decisions because they appear to be favorable to national interests
at that time, including the decision to go to war. According to Zinn, the US did not enter World
War II to rid the world of fascism and the prosecution of innocents by Nazi Germany, but to
further its interests in the world. 

When such an argument is evaluated, it
can only be an opinion at best, just as the...

What are some of Frederick Douglass' violent struggles against slavery in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass?

In
chapter 10, Frederick arrives at Mr. Covey's plantation, where he is forced to work in the
fields for the first time in his life. One day, Frederick is driving a cart and loses control of
the oxen. Frederick barely survives as the cart overturns and injures the animals. When
Frederick informs Mr. Covey about the accident, Mr. Covey takes him into the woods and tells him
to remove his clothes. Mr. Covey then proceeds to whip Frederick with three large switches
repeatedly until the sticks break in his hands. After surviving his first brutal whipping by Mr.
Covey, Frederick mentions that it was the first of many beatings he received from his brutal
overseer. Frederick also recalls how Mr. Covey would starve the slaves and overwork them each
day. After six months with Mr. Covey, Frederick admits that Mr. Covey had made him a brute and
successfully broke his will.

However, Frederick finds the courage and
strength to defy his overseer by traveling seven miles to St. Michael's to inform
his...

In Animal Farm, in what chapter does Napoleon take the puppies and is there another way that he has power over the other animals?

It is in Chapter
Three ofthattakes the puppies. These "nine, sturdy puppies" belong to Jessie and
Bluebell and Napoleon takes them away from their mothers as soon as they are weaned. He claims
to want to educate the puppies but, later on, we see that he has trained them to act as his
personal (and very violent) bodyguards.

Aside from training the puppies in
this manner, Napoleon uses his cunning to seize power over the
other animals. We see this most clearly at the end of Chapter Two when Napoleon distracts the
other animals so that he can steal the cows' milk:

"Never mind the milk, comrades!" cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of
the buckets. "That will be attended to. The harvest is more important."

By using the harvest (an event of extreme importance) as a
distraction, Napoleon illustrates the depth of his natural cunning and powers of deception. It
also shows that he considers the pigs to be superior to the other animals and deserving of
better rations, like milk and apples. It is this which belief which drives his bid for absolute
power on the farm. 

In "The Cask of Amontillado" how does Montresor lure Fortunato farther and father into the catacombs?

The initial
lure is the wine; he has mentioned how fond Fortunado is of wine, especially the fact that
"he prided himself on his connoisseur-ship in wine."Montresor appeals to Fortunado's
pride on the issue of being a wine-expert.Of the supposed Amontillado that he purchased, he says
to Fortunado, "I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado price without consulting you
in the matter."This strokes Fortunado's ego and piques his interest; now he'll just have to
take a look for himself!So that is how he gets him down there in the first place.

Once in the tombs, he uses one other tactic-reverse psychology, again working on
Fortunado's pride.Every time Fortunado hesitates or coughs, Montresor stops and insists the
return.In one case he states, "Come...we will go back; your health is precious. You are
rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be
missed."Here he flatters Fortunado and feigns concern for him.This has two effects:to make
Fortunado feel he must prove his manliness by continuing, and by making him feel like he won't
get to see the wine, which makes him more determined to see it.

A third
tactic Montresor employs is getting Fortunado more drunk.At one point he grabs a bottle of wine
and says, "'Drink,' presenting him the wine.He raised it to his lips with a leer" and
drank an entire swig, getting more drunk as they continue.

So, by combining
the psychological techniques of ego-stroking, flattery, reverse psychology, removal of the
object of his desire (the wine) AND by getting him rip-roaring drunk, Montresor manages to lead
Fortunado to his demise.

What are some of the conflicts that Winston Smith faces in Orwell's 1984? What is the lesson learned from all of what Winston went through?

's most
intense conflict is with himself. He desperately wants to rebel, but at the same time he's
fearful, and with good reason. He starts a journal, a serious criminal offense in this
totalitarian state, but as soon as he begins to write down seditious thoughts, he starts to
panic, wanting to tear out the spoiled pages. Winston's internal conflict also relates to his
main external conflictthat with Big Brother and the world that he represents. Winston remains
defiant in his utter loathing of Big Brother, even after being brutally tortured by . It takes
the horrors of Room 101 to make him come round to the Party's way of thinking. But even then, we
can't really say that Winston has resolved the conflict; rather the resolution, such as it is,
has been brutally imposed upon him from without.

Much the same could be said
concerning Winston's relationship with. Again, he's carrying out an act of sedition here, but
this time he's less tortured about defying the Party...

What is the difference between Romantic and Modern era or periods?

The social-historical
context for each era was considerably different. While the Romantic era writers were responding
to the advent of democracy in the United States and Europe (and often advocating for the end of
slavery), the Modern era posed an altogether different political reality.

Industrialization was fully underway for the Modernist writers and artists and a
shifting world-order was quickly creating a new global-capitalist bureaucracy that brought
colonialism to an end (or, arguably, eclipsed the colonial-imperialist programs of Western
Europe). 

We can see the context for each period as integral to the content
of the work associated with these eras. Romantic poems like Shelley's "Ozymandias"
demonstrate a political outlook that was overtly condemning the rule of tyranny and
authoritarianism. 

Shelley depicts a grand statue with a vaunting
proclamation etched into its base:

"My name
is Ozymandias, King of Kings; 

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and
despair!" 

 

Such
ambition and power-hunger, Shelley's poem suggests, can only result in failure. And the poem's
use of multiple narrators creates a subtle argument that this failure is guaranteed due to the
broader democratic consciousness that has arisen to replace tyranny (and monarchy as
well).

 

The statue, in the end, lies amid its own
desolation. 

 

"Nothing
beside remains. Round the decay 

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and
bare 

The lone and level sands stretch far away."

 

Compare this poetic sensibility with its
commentary on the nature of power, ambition, and the collective voice to a poem like T.S.
Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

 

In Eliot's poem the sense of the body politic has given way to a basic doubt about
the integrity of the individual. In a world of rapid changes and remarkable mechanization, the
individual naturally begins to ask what aspects of the self can be trusted to continue, what
fate awaits the identity of an individual in a world of dynamic changes and growing
commercialism. 

And indeed there will be
time 

To wonder, Do I dare? and, Do I dare? 

Time to turn back and descend the stair, 

With a bald spot in
the middle of my hair  

(They will say: How his hair is growing
thin!) 

My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the
chin, 

My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin
 

(They will say: But how his arms and legs are thin!) 

Do I dare 

Disturb the universe? 

In a
minute there is time 

For decisions and revisions which a minute will
reverse. 

The eras of Romanticism and Modernism can
be distinguished along these lines, looking at the social context that informed the work. We can
also look at the central subjects and metaphors that appear in these periods, noting that nature
(or Nature, capitalized) is a recurrent motif in Romanticism and Freudian psychology is a motif
in much of the most notable work associated with Modernism. 

 

A wholeness is found in nature for the Romantics. This
wholeness is perhaps endowed with political meanings aligned with the ideas suggested above, but
there is also a way that we can see the turn toward nature as a response to increasing
urbanization in the 19th century.

 

As the cities
grow, the poets find afor the essential human being in the countryside. Is this nostalgia? It
might be. But it is also a telling element in the condition of the social landscape for writers
in England, France and the United States. (The social landscape was mirrored by a changes in the
actual landscape as roads were built, rail lines were placed for the first time..)

 

The Modern era saw the effects of this transition. Internal
divisions between Id, Ego and Super-ego mimic a larger sense of schism as social divisions
between classes became blurrier than they have been previously. Distances between cities shrunk
with rail travel. During the Modern period airplanes appeared in the sky. The world that
Modernist artists had been born into had been remade by the engines of industry and promised to
continue to be remade. 

 

Thus we get poems like
Ezra Pound's two-line poem, "In a Station of the Metro," depicting people as passive
figments, parts of a commercial-industrial machine that has replaced nature and turned humans
into ghosts of themselves. 

 

"The apparition of these faces in the crowd:

Petals on a
wet, black bough."

 

No
longer turning to nature as a metaphor for wholeness of the individual or for the power of
collective and democratic government, Pound and other Modernists saw the power of subway lines
and factory-line assembly as something of a symbol for the new social fabric, dominated by
capital (as in capitalism).

 

We can see some of
the reactionary qualities of Pound's vision in the difficulty of some of his work (i.e.,
Cantos) and the work of his contemporaries like Eliot and James Joyce. The
challenging nature of the work was a comment on commercialism and an attempt to assert art
against a rising tide of what we would today call "pop culture." 

 

The social dynamics of each of these periods continue to
animate our contemporary world, to some extent at least, which partly explains why the art from
these eras seems to speak so directly to us even today.

How/why/when did the French Revolution begin? And Describe the three stages of The French Revolution

The French
Revolution evolved out of the convocation of the Estates General in 1789. By this point, France
was facing a financial crisis, crippled and overburdened with debt. The Estates General was
convened in order to enact a meaningful solution to this problem, but it proceeded in
deadlock.

The Estates General represented a microcosm of France, drawing
together representatives from each of its three social orders (the Clergy, the Nobility, and the
Third Estate, the last of which essentially comprised everyone not of the first two orders),
drawn from all across France. However, the delegates were in disagreement on how voting should
proceed, with members of the first two estates wishing that each order would vote separate from
one another, while the members of the Third Estate wished for all three orders to vote in a
single body. (Additionally, it should be noted that the Third Estate had twice as many delegates
as either the First or Second Estate.) In this deadlock, the First Estate grew more and more
radicalized, and eventually declared itself the National Assembly, representing the Nation of
France...

The French Revolution was shaped in the drama of 1789. The First
Stage of the Revolution would see the old system of Absolutism abolished, and with it all
remnants of feudal privilege, to be replaced with a political system based in equality before
the law (as expressed in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen), and the Absolutist
Monarchy replaced with a Constitutional one.

The key turning point in this
drama, however, came in the summer of 1791, when, concerned with the course of the Revolution
(and his own vulnerability within Paris), King Louis XVI denounced the Revolution and attempted
to flee the country, only to be captured near the border. After this point, that earlier vision
of a Constitutional Monarchy became untenable, and a crisis set in, when the King of France was
perceived as a traitor. This crisis ultimately resolved in the trial and execution of Louis XVI,
with monarchy to be abolished altogether and replaced with a Republic.

The
result was to throw the Revolution into turmoil, however, as France was simultaneously drawn
into war with the monarchies of Europe, while it simultaneously faced counter-revolutionary
revolts within its own territory. Furthermore, the growing radicalism of the Revolution (and the
growing dominance of Paris over Revolutionary politics) resulted in the Federalist Revolts,
where the more moderate (but still pro-Revolution) provincial cities rose in revolt against
Paris. Thus, France was in a political crisis, and what resulted was the emergency government of
the Terror (the bloodiest and most notorious stage of the Revolution).

The
third stage of the Revolution came out of the Thermidorean Reaction, which began after the
National Convention turned on the Committee of Public Safety, executing Robespierre and his
associates, and proceeding to dismantle the Terror. They would create a new Constitution for
France, curtailing much of the radical democratic impulses envisioned in the Constitution of
1793, setting up the Directory. It was in this period that the sans-culottes would have their
power broken, and Napoleon Bonaparte would begin his ascent to political dominance, through his
spectacular success with the army of Italy. The Directory would itself be overthrown in 1799,
with the Brumaire coup d'etat, enshrining the Consulate (with Napoleon taking power as First
Consul).

Summarize the story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Gabriel
Garcia Marquezs story exemplifies the blend ofand illusion.  Magical realism describes a
story that appears true-to-life but has the element of whimsy or fantasy. 

A
poor fisherman works in his yard killing crabs after a rainstorm.  He finds a dirty, old man
with enormous wings lying in the yard. The old man tries to speak but cannot be
understood. 

The familys child has been sick, and they wonder if he is an
angel that has come to get their son.  Told by his neighbor to kill the old man, Pelayo and his
wife Elisenda pity the old man and place him in their chicken coop.

The child
revives. The doctor examines the man and finds it hard to believe that he is alive.  He views
the wings as probably real.  This makes the interest of the people build toward the angel.
 The old man begins to draw interested crowds of people.  The priest comes and tells everyone
that the old man cannot be an angel because he is too dirty and does not speak Latin.

Many people come to receive healing from the angel. Word spreads, and there are so
many people wanting to see the old man that Pelayos wife charges admission to see him.

Ignoring the people, the old man has rocks thrown at him; in addition, the feathers are
pulled from his wings. Some burn him with hot irons to see if he is alive which angers the old
man.

The old man was the only one who took no part in his
own act. He spent his time trying to get comfortable in his borrowed nest, befuddled by the
hellish heat of the old lamps and sacramental candles...when they burned his side...with tears
in his eyes, he flapped his wings a couple of times.

After a time, the crowd goes away to see a freak show featuring a spider woman. The old
man and his wings are forgotten.  However, the couple becomes rich on the admission to see him.
 Caught somewhere between humanity the supernatural, the old man stays with the
couple. 

For several years, the old man stays in the chicken coop until it
collapses.  He moves to the adjacent shed, and even, to the distraction of the wife, wanders
through the house at times.  The old man begins to build his strength and his feathers begin to
grow in.  He begins to sing sea shanties to himself.

Soon after, the wife
works in the yard and the old man spreads his wings and flies off into the skies.

Commentary

The story illustrates mans inhumanity to man. From the
beginning, the old man is poorly treated.  No compassion comes from the family that becomes
wealthy by using the old man as a side show.  He stays in the dirty chicken coop, eating poorly
with really no kind human contact.  How can these people treat this unique individual with such
disdain?

Obviously, there is a reason that the angel remains with the
couple.  Even the wife feels a moment of regret while she watches the angel fly away. 

The priest does a disservice to the people, the angel, and the couple when he does not
remind them of the Biblical verse which states: "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:
for thereby some have entertained angels."

This should have been the
mantra that the villagers and the couple lived by. This was an opportunity to take care of an
angel. Instead, he is treated as though he were an animal. Pelayo shows the most compassion
and demonstrates his love for his family.

Who is ultimately responsible for the Clutter family murder in "In Cold Blood"?

I'd say that Dick and
Perry are both guilty. We can argue that one or the other is "more" guilty than the
other, but if we look at guilt as an absolute state (without gradation) we have to say that each
man is guilty. 

Floyd Wells is not guilty at all in my opinion. Arguing that
he is guilty because he told Dick about the Clutters is kind of like arguing that we can blame a
bank robbery on someone who offers directions to the nearest bank.

Which god aids Odysseus against Circe in the Odyssey?

After
narrowly surviving the Laestrygonians, Odysseus and his men sail to the island of Aeaea, the
land of Circe. Odysseus proceeds to kill a stag for a meal, and his crew draws slots to see who
will travel into the wilderness to investigate Circe's home. Eurylochus and twenty-two
companions set out for Circe's home, but Eurylochus senses danger when they arrive and stays
outside. Unfortunately, Circe gives the unsuspecting men a magical potion that turns them into
pigs. Eurylochus is horrified by the incident and returns to the base camp to report what
happened to Odysseus. When Odysseus asks Eurylochus to take him back to Circe's home, he
refuses, and Odysseus decides to make the journey alone to save his men.

As
Odysseus is traveling to Circe's home in the forest, the god Hermes visits him in the form of a
young man, who informs him of the fate of his crew under Circe's control. Hermes proceeds to
give Odysseus a powerful herb that will protect him from Circe's magic and prevent him from
being turned into a pig. Hermes also gives Odysseus instructions on how to deal with Circe by
telling him to threaten the goddess with his sword and force her to swear a solemn oath that she
will not harm him. With Hermes's advice and magical root, Odysseus is protected from Circe and
forces her to transform his crew back into men.

How does the poem "Why I Left the Church" by Richard Garcia reflect current attitudes towards religion?

Richard Garcia's "Why I Left the Church" is a poem in which the speaker
reflects on the ways he felt incompatible with the Catholic Church as a child. This could
connect with current attitudes towards religion because many people see the Church as out of
touch and think that the Church's strict rules limit them in ways they do not want to be
limited.

Certainly, the speaker in the poem feels limited by the Church, as
seen through his interaction with Sister Mary Bernadette. The speaker wears a "space helmet
/ to catechism," and the nun orders him out of the room and says he can return "when
[he's] ready." This dismissal leads the speaker to ponder whether he has ever become
"ready" to...

What do you think about the camel driver's philosophy of life in The Alchemist? What are the advantages and disadvantages of his perspective?

In chapter
six of , the camel driver tells Santiago his story as the caravan crosses
the Sahara. He had been a prosperous farmer and had even earned enough to make the Muslim's
required pilgrimage to Mecca. He thought he had his life in order and that it would run smoothly
until he died. Instead, one day the earth began to "tremble" and a Nile flood
destroyed his trees. He had to become a camel driver. However, rather than despair and grow
bitter, the camel driver learned that he shouldn't be afraid of losing material possessions. He
learned from Allah that he doesn't need to fear uncertainty as long as he is capable of making
enough to meet his wants and needs. Further, he states the following:

"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or
our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories
and the history of the world were written by the same hand."

The advantage of this perspective is that the camel driver is not driven by fear. He
has the confidence that he lives within a universe run by a higher power. He has peace of mind.
I think it is a wise philosophy because it gives him freedom from anxiety and because he sees a
larger picture than the merely material. The disadvantage is that he might lose the ambition to
strive; he might become content to do less and be less in life than he otherwise might
have.

Which of the seven virtues relate to the beatitude "Blessed are those who mourn?"

I assume
that you are talking about the seven virtues from the Catholic catechism.  These are listed
as:

• Prudence
• Justice


• Fortitude
• Temperance

are at least three that can be related to the idea that "those who mourn" are

How is form the narrative content under a formalist critic's lens in relation to Emma by Austen?

Formalism developed in Russia as a reaction to the then
prevalent literary criticism that associated literature with its era's social and political
realities. For example, you might think of early twentieth century (1900s) literary criticism of
Dickens' work. It was critically analyzed for its social commentary and expos©. Charlotte
Bront« was routinely critically analyzed in terms of social roles. In fact, these novels, and
other similar ones, are still dominantly viewed through these lenses today.

Formalists sought to separate works of literature from their socio-political expos©
and message and critically analyze them in terms of literary merit; this in English was called
"literariness." Formalists sought to make a scientific
study of literature that discovered the order and form in literary works.
Influenced by the then still new field of Linguistics, Formalists sought to find this order and
form within the words of the text and to discover universal form that was common to
all...

Why are people afraid of Hannah Tupper in The Witch of Blackbird Pond?

The
people of Weathersfield are afraid of Hannah Tupper because they are extremely superstitious
people, and Hannah Tupper is different. In general, I think the people are afraid of Hannah
Tupper because they do not understand her, and they do not understand her because they make no
effort to. Kit makes an effort to befriend the woman, and Kit thinks that Hannah is just fine;
however, nobody else bothers to make the effort because they don't see the point.

But no one in Wethersfield has anything to do with Hannah
Tupper.

Why on earth not?

She is a Quaker.

Why is that so dreadful?

Rachel hesitated. I cant tell you
exactly. The Quakers are queer stubborn people. They dont believe in the Sacraments.

What difference does that make? She is as kind and good asas you are, Aunt Rachel. I
could swear to it.

Hannah is a Quaker, and that
apparently is so foreign of a way of life that the people of Weathersfield would rather tell
scary stories about the old Quaker rather than actually get to know her. For the people of
Weathersfield, it is just easier to accept scary stories about Hannah and escalate those stories
than it is to try and disprove them. Hannah becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts, and
anything that she does that is "witchlike" just further deepens the people's feelings.
Hannah can't even stir a pot without people thinking it might be witchcraft.

Kit looked back at the gray figure bent over a kettle, stirring
something with a long stick. Her spine prickled. It might be only soap, of course.

Who were the narrator's tormentors?

's short
horror story "" begins with the narrator being sentenced to death. In the first
paragraph, we only know that the ones who pass sentence on him have "inquisitorial
voices" and are "black-robed judges." Poe deliberately creates an aura of mystery
regarding why the narrator is being tried, who is trying him, and what his offense is. In
paragraph five, the narrator has come to his senses enough to begin reflecting upon his state.
He mentions again the "inquisitorial proceedings" and then refers to the
"autos-da-fe" and Toledo, a city in Spain. From this we can
determine that the narrator is a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, but not until paragraph 12
is the word "Inquisition" actually used. When the narrator refers to his captors, he
calls them "inquisitorial judges" or "inquisitorial agents."

The Spanish Inquisition was a judicial institution established by the Pope to prosecute
heresy; it functioned from 1478 to 1834. Its chief function was to verify the faith of Jews and
Muslims who converted to Catholicism, but it wielded great power and could have dealt with
anyone who the Church deemed as an enemy. For example, the Archbishop of Toledo was arrested in
1559 by the Inquisition and accused of Lutheranism; he was imprisoned for 17 years. Perhaps this
is why Poe set his story in Toledo. As mentioned in the story, the condemned were usually
executed at an auto-da-fe, a public pageant attended by large crowds and
often royalty, which often featured burning of heretics at the stake. The head of the
Inquisition was the grand inquisitor; he had five assistants as well as consultors; these would
be the "black-robed judges" described in the first paragraph. There is no record of
the Spanish Inquisition employing the methods of torture Poe describes in this story. Although
Poe has General Lasalle rescuing the prisoner, Lasalle was never in Toledo. However, the
appearance of General Lasalle helps us date the story to 1808. 

Poe uses
members of the Spanish Inquisition as the tormentors of his , but
by downplaying religious themes and leaving the specific nature of the narrator's crimes
unnamed, he is able to focus more on the psychological and physical responses of his main
character and less on the identities and motivations of his captors.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Computer

Computers are here to stay, whether we like
them or not. They are part of the juggernaut of the Industrial Revolution which began in England
with textile making. This put many independent weavers out of jobs. I think the most important
thing to recognize about computers and the other innovations that go with it is that it keeps
changing the job market. It has been said that a person should expect to change jobs several
times during his or her life. The only way for an intelligent person to cope with this
frightening reality is to keep preparing for new developments. And the best way to do this is
through "continuing education." You have to foresee what is going to happen in your
particular field of interest and source of income and be prepared to adapt to the new
conditions. The best way to do this is through education in school, because the teachers know
what is coming better than almost anybody else. There are plenty of good jobs for people who are
prepared to fill them. But people who just want to feel comfortable in their present jobs and
spend their time at work watching television or playing video games may be in for a rude shock
if and when their job is eliminated or taken over by a robot!

How was the burning down of Miss Maudie's house a symbol in the story?

Miss Maudie
reacts with equanimity when her house burns down. This surprises Jem and , who think she should
be upset. Instead, Miss Maudie grins and says:

Always
wanted a smaller house, . Gives me more yard. Just think, Ill have more room for my azaleas
now!

You aint grievin€˜, Miss Maudie? I asked, surprised.said her house was
nearly all she had.

Grieving, child? Why, I hated that old cow barn.
Thought of settin fire to it a hundred times myself, except theyd lock me up.

Miss Maudie's lack of concern over her house reveals her values,
which are different from those of most white people in Maycomb. Her house symbolizes the past
that weighs her down. She is more than willing to shed this past and move forward into the
future. While most Maycomb residents cling to the glories of their ancestors, she finds the
"stuff" of the past an encumbrance. It is liberating for her to be free of the house.
She doesn't need it.

Miss Maudie is more concerned with what is inside people
than with external objects like houses, which makes her, like Atticus, capable of judging Tom
Robinson by his character and not the color of his skin.

What are the key ideas in chapter 1€“8?

Chapters 1
through 8 take us from 's last day and night at Pencey Prep through the train ride that drops
him at Penn Station in the heart of Manhattan.

Key ideas in these chapters
include the fact that Holden does not fit into Penceyor any boarding school, for that matter, as
he has a history of being expelled. We also learn that he has been deeply shattered by the death
of his younger brother, , from leukemia. This has led him to such acts as breaking his hand
smashing all the windows in his family's garage. He is also deeply attached to his younger
sister, .

We learn, too, that for all his problems, Holden is a caring
person. In fact, this may be his biggest problem: he genuinely cares about people, especially
the vulnerable. He does his best, for example, to be kind to his elderly teacher, , even though
Mr. Spencer irritates him by lecturing him about his future and reading aloud to him from an
embarrassing note he wrote Mr. Spencer to try to spare his feelings.

Holden
feels particularly caring and worried about an old friend, , when he finds out his
smooth-talking, sexually promiscuous, and phony roommate, Stradlater, is taking her out on a
date. He continues to show a need to protect people when he meets the mother of a particularly
callous and obnoxious Pencey student on the train, telling her lies about her son to make her
feel good about him.

By the time the train arrives in New York City, we know
quite a bit about Holden: he is deeply troubled about the death of his brother; he is alienated
from his peers, most of whom he thinks of as phony; but at the same time, he is extremely
protective of the vulnerable. He has been expelled from school, his behavior is often erratic
and impulsive, and now he is let loose with lots of money from his grandmother for a spree in
Manhattan.

How does latitude (north-south axis) and longitude (east-west axis) play a factor in the development of the Americas vs. Eurasia?

makes
the claim that because Eurasia is on the east-west access, its people live at a similar climate
range, adapt to similar diseases, and can therefore develop in conjunction with one another. For
example, take the River Valley Civilizations. Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley
city-states all developed similarly and were able to trade. When diseases passed from one to the
next, survivors were able to build immunities which would be passed on through genetics and
future trades. Not all civilizations were able to trade, as some like Shang China were
geographically isolated, but the basic premise of Diamonds argument is that the east-west nature
of Eurasia allowed for similar human development.

For the Americas, which are
on a north-south axis, Diamond argues that development happens differently because people exist
in different climate zones. Whereas much of Eurasia is temperate, only part of the Americas is
temperate. This diversity in climate causes different development. Diamond argues that this
geographic determinism helps explain why American civilizations developed in greater isolation
than her Eurasian counterparts and why American civilizations did not share cultures, germs, or
advancements in the same way.

Nike Mission Statement

Nike does
have a mission statement, but it does not appear to have a formal set of core values that can be
easily found on its website.  To answer this question, I will give Nikes formal mission
statement, along with some general goals that can be likened to core values.  I will then look
at one way in which Nike has tried to live up to those goals/values.

Nikes
official mission statement is To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the
world.  The asterisk is there for a reason.  It directs us to a statement by Bill Bowerman, who
helped to found Nike and was the track and field coach for the University of Oregon.  He says
if you have a body, you are an athlete.  This statement by Bowerman can be seen as part of
Nikes mission statement.

Again, Nike does not seem to have official core
values.  However, we can see in this
link that Nike wants to deliver growth in the right way.  Nike wants its growth to
be sustainable, profitable, capital-efficient, and brand-enhancing.  We can see this as
something of a statement of core values.  This is especially true of the idea that the growth
should be sustainable and brand-enhancing.

For a long time, Nikes growth was
harming its brand.  It was not acting in ways that were sustainable (if we consider fairness to
be part of sustainability).  Nike was getting a very bad name due to its use of sweatshops. 
Since the mid-to-late 1990s, Nike href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-nike-solved-its-sweatshop-problem-2013-5">has
taken actions that were aimed at making their growth more sustainable and
brand-enhancing.  It helped to create the href="https://www.fairlabor.org/">Fair Labor Association.  It started to
do audits of all of its factories world-wide.  It became more transparent, publishing complete
lists of the factories where it did business.  All of these things allowed Nike to become much
fairer and more sustainable in its business practices.  This helped it to enhance its
brand.

In "Composed upon Westminster Bridge," why is the city so in tune with nature in this poem? In "Composed upon Westminster Bridge," why is the city so...

When the
author and speaker witness the city, it is asleep.  It is not in its hustle-bustle busily
polluting the environment state.  The fog is still settled, the sun is just rising, and it is
calm from his vantage point.  Had he seen the city from the bridge at the height of activity, I
doubt this poem would have been written.

In the novel 1984, why is their world constantly at war?

The
three world superpowers are constantly at war in order to further oppress their respective
populations and ensure their nation's stability. Unlike past wars of the twentieth century,
which were fought over valuable resources and the acquisition of enemy territories, the current
world wars are fought for an entirely different purpose. In the dystopian nations of Oceania,
Eurasia, and Eastasia, the governments are engaged in continuous warfare to use up resources
without compromising their nation's industrial capabilities. Without war, resources would be
consumed by the population and be...

In "Marigolds" by Eugenia Collier, how does Lizabeth's perspective change?

In
"Marigolds," the reader meets Lizabeth at two points in her life,
as an adult and years earlier as an adolescent. The adult woman clearly expresses how she
reflects on the events concerning the marigolds. The young Lizabeth also shows some changes in
perspective.

The grown woman generally provides a "frame": she
establishes the surrounding structure in which the main story unfolds. At the beginning and end,
the change in perspective from child to adult is revealed. At the beginning, she tells the
reader she will be talking about the past. At the end, she explains that she gained compassion
that day. She also expresses this, literally and metaphorically, saying, "I too have
planted marigolds."

In the earlier-period reminiscence, Lizabeth shows
the change in relationship to Miss Lottie and to her own parents.

Lizabeth
feels torn between childhood and maturity. When she goes to Miss Lottie's home, she not only
acts childishly, but she also regresses to juvenile behavior. Her outburst, "Old witch! Old
witch!" shows her acting younger than her age.

When Lizabeth returns
home after the name-calling incident, she overhears her parents talking. They are so worried
about money that her father starts to cry. Hearing this brings about a change that she at first
does not understand. She is shaken up because she has never heard her father cry before and did
not know it was even possible for men.

Unable to process this new view, she
expresses her emotions as anger and then takes out her rage on Miss Lottie's flowers. She
angrily rips out the marigolds.

The biggest change comes when Miss Lottie
confronts her but treats her kindly. "Why?" is her question. It is her sad face more
than her words that inspires the change in Lizabeth. She begins to understand why anyone would
put in so much work to bring beauty into their drab, dusty world.

This change
was probably permanent. At least we know at the end that she still retains the knowledge about
why beauty matters. As an adult she also fully understands why a parent would cry. Planting
marigolds is her expression of those changed perspectives.

In Julius Caesar, whose speech was more effective, Brutus's or Antony's? Why?

Mark Antony
is the better rhetorician, and his speech is more effective than Brutus's.

One crucial mistake Brutus made (beyond letting Antony speak at all) was allowing Antony to
speak after him. Beyond that, however, while Brutus gave a competent and even moving speech, his
goal was less ambitious than Antony's. Brutus wanted to justify the conspirators in their
assassination of Caesar, a beloved leader. He does that very effectively by appealing to the
crowd, telling them that although he loved Caesar, he loved Rome more. He convinces the crowd
that Caesar was possibly on the road to tyranny...

Types Of Menu

The other
five types of restaurant menus are:

1) A la Carte
menu

The A la Carte menu prices each food item separately; it
often contains greater choices for the customer. There are any number of combinations a customer
can choose for his/her meal from an A la Carte menu. Although the price of A la Carte items are
more expensive than those from a Table d'Hote menu, a customer is allowed greater flexibility
and is offered greater value in terms of food quality.

Some high-end
restaurants may allow their customers to order breakfast items A la Carte. So, technically, a
customer can order varied combinations of breakfast breads, specialty egg dishes, juices,
waffles, pancakes, and meat items from an A la Carte breakfast menu. Meanwhile, A la Carte lunch
and dinner menus can include varied entrees, appetizers, and ethnic dishes. A unique A la Carte
menu is the California menu, where customers can order any food item regardless of the time of
day.

2) Wine/Beverage Menu

Many restaurants offer a beverage and wine menu for their customers. These menus often
include specialty wines, teas, coffees, and cocktails. There may even be suggestions on which
wine best accompanies a particular meal.

3) Static
Menu

Static menus are offered all-year long. This type of menu
is most prevalent in fast-food restaurants like Macdonalds, Pizza Hut, and Burger King. For
example, Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, McChicken, and Quarter-Pounder burgers are standard Macdonalds
fare. At Pizza Hut, specialty pizzas like the Meat Lovers, Vege Lovers, and Pepperoni Lovers are
standard fare. The Create-Your-Own pizza section comes with standard vegetable and meat
toppings. Over the course of time, however, fast-food chains have added new options to their
standard menus during special promotion periods and holidays. However, the static menu is still
the prime reason many customers frequent these fast-food restaurants.

4) Du Jour Menu

This type of menu
references a special dish for the day. The Du Jour menu can change daily and often depends on
the availability of seasonal items. Often, the du jour dish is offered at a discount to
customers. Some restaurants also like to offer a soup du jour or soup of the day.

5) Dessert Menu

Dessert menus offer
desserts that are specific to particular restaurants. Included in these dessert menus may be
specialty desserts the restaurants are famous for. Many steakhouses include separate dessert
menus for their guests. For example, Longhorn Steakhouse boasts a gourmet key lime pie and
molten lava cake on its dessert menu.

I need to write an argument essay on how the ideas Thoreau presents in "Where I lived, and what I lived for" can, or cannot help people understand and...

The
writing prompt isn't actually asking you a question. It is telling you to write a response that
explains why you think that Thoreau's piece is helpful to modern-day readers or not helpful
anymore. You are welcome to write a response that goes either way; however, I would recommend
writing an essay of support. More than likely, your reader/teacher is a fan of Thoreau, and you
might not want to antagonize a reader who will be giving you a grade afterward.

For your essay, I would use the...

How did Mr. Underwood, in his editorial on Tom Robinson's death, evoke the symbol of the mockingbird?

In
,mentions that Mr. Underwood wrote an editorial following the death of Tom Robinson. Mr.
Underwood believed that it was a sin to kill cripples. In the editorial, Scout says that Mr.
Underwood likened Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children.
Throughout the novel, mockingbirds symbolize innocent, harmless individuals who cannot defend
themselves. Whentells his children that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird, he is essentially
saying that it is wrong to harm innocent beings. Tom Robinson is a symbolic mockingbird
throughout the novel because he is an innocent person who doesn't cause harm to anyone. Tom is
also a black man, which means he has few defenses against the prejudiced community of Maycomb.
Mr. Underwood's editorial illuminates the symbolism associated with mockingbirds in the
novel. 

What is Hester's demeanor, or mein, as she emerges from her prison cell? please give detail (describe)

It depends on
which occasion you are referring to. In the beginning, she merges to public scrutiny  with a
quiet dignity and defiance. She retreats into memories of her past to deflect the humiliation
she must endure. The second time, she is much less composed. She is worn down, and appears to
suffer the consequences much more openly .

Why was Farquhar captured? Why did the Federal scout lie?

Based on what the
Federal scout tells Peyton Farquhar in part II of the story, we have to make some assumptions,
because we are never told explicitly why this man is being hanged. The Federal scout is
"gray-clad," which tells us that he is wearing a Confederate uniform (in the American
Civil War, the Confederate soldiers wore gray, while the Union army wore dark blue). This
compels Farquhar to trust him, because he believes they are on the same side. The soldier tells
Farquhar about how dependent the Union war effort is on the railroads and how anyone who
interferes with the railroad "will be summarily hanged" by official army order. This
seems to provide clear evidence that the railroads are vital, and so a Southerner who wishes to
thwart the Union army could do great damage to it by disrupting the railroad.

Farquhar takes the bait and asks what kind of damage a person could do if he could
sneak past the guards at the Owl Creek Bridge (the bridge from which he's being hanged in parts
I and III), and the soldier explains "that the flood of last winter had lodged a great
quantity of driftwood against the wooden pier at this end of the bridge. It is now dry and would
burn like tinder." We can assume that this is what Farquhar did, and because the soldier
was actually a Federal scout, he informed his regiment, and they caught Farquhar red-handed
attempting to burn the railroad bridge down. Therefore, the scout lied because he was trying to
trick Farquhar into acting against the Union so that he would be caught.

In the second discourse, what does Rousseau identify as the cause and origin of the inequality? He identifies the cause of growing inequality as the...

The
difference between amour de soi and amour-propreboth
of which mean, essentially, "self-loveis a significant one. To understand the importance of
this distinction made in the Discourses on Inequality, it should be
understood that Rousseau idealizes what he viewed as man's natural state, free of society. In
this state, he claims, man was free to take care of himself, "his first care [was] that of
self-preservation." Rousseau characterizes this as love of self, or amour de
soi. He views this as a natural, healthy (indeed, essential) orientation toward the
world. Men were free, only limited by the restraints placed on them by nature, and they assessed
their own selves in terms of their ability to meet these needs.

Over time,
though, men would change. They would begin to associate together, first as families and then as
villages, cooperating on the hunt as they realized they could become more effective by doing so.
In time, this led to a transformation in how they thought of themselves. Within these societies,
men would begin to view themselves more in terms of how others viewed them. This might have to
do with their ability to attract sexual partners, their ability to lead others, or other
factors.

But the point is that this understanding of self was derived from
interactions with others. This regard for self on the terms of the perceptions of others is
described as amour-propre by Rousseau. He regards this development as an
unhealthy ona fundamentally corrupting consequence of living in society with othersand, in fact,
the very origin of inequality itself, since it causes people to amass property in order to gain
standing vis-a-vis other people.

What are three major things Jay Gatsby does to win Daisy's affection, and could you explain them?

first
moves to a giant home across the sound fromand throws lavish parties to try to attract her
attention. Then, once he reunites with her throughand , he tries to win Daisy's affection in the
following ways:

He gives her a personal tour of his immense home, showing off
all his possessions. This includes having , a party guest who lurks around Gatsby's mansion and
more or less squats there, play the grand piano for her. Gatsby also shows her his many, many
shirts in a myriad of colors, which makes her cry. He is conveying to Daisy, who has long
represented money and security to him, that he has wealth to rival 'swealth enough to support
her in the style to which she has become accustomed.

Gatsby also invites her
to one of his lavish parties, which she attends with Tom. However, she is unimpressed by the
crush of people not of her social standing, and Gatsby understands she is unhappy. He therefore
stops throwing his famous parties, as they have...

What Does Dill Dare Jem To Do

In Chapter One
of , Charles Baker Harris, known as "Dill," arrives in Maycomb to
spend the summer with his aunt, Miss Rachel Haverford (who also happens to be the next door
neighbor ofand ). Dill, Jem, and Scout form a fast friendship predicated on their wild
imaginations. When the trio finally gets tired of acting out stories as entertainment, they
decide to up the stakes.

Dill, who is fascinated with the mysterious , bets
Jem his copy of The Gray Ghost against two Tom Swifts that Jem couldn't
walk past the Radley's gate. It takes three days of Dill's persistence for Jem to finally accept
the dare, at which point Dill decides to make it more interesting. He promises Jem that he won't
say he "ran out" on a dare and will give him The Gray Ghost if
Jem goes up and touches the Radley's house. Jem winds up running through the gate and slapping
the house, which evokes a tiny movement in the window; for the children, this seems to be yet
another spooky sign of Boo's presence. 

I have to write a letter of compliment from Winston Smith to Big Brother from Orwell's 1984. What should I put in it?

For writing
this letter, it does matter whether this is thewho has not yet been arrested or the Winston at
the end of the novel, who has been tortured and brainwashed into complete love and acceptance of
Big Brother.

The earlier Winston would focus not on worship of Big Brother
himself but on praising him for being such an effective tool of propaganda. Winston would talk
about how Big Brother has truly made people aware that they are constantly being watched, so
that they do censor themselves against possible thoughtcrimes. He might praise Big Brother for
having posters of himself everywhere and for the way he has managed to make himself a father
figure to so many people. The focus would be on the success of Big Brother as an image rather
than on any personal devotion to Big Brother himself.

The later Winston would
not perceive Big Brother as a propaganda tool wielded by the state but would focus on him as a
genuinely great leader. This Winston would write about his sense of personal love and loyalty to
Big Brother as his savior and protector. He would express his willingness to die for Big
Brother. He might even hope to meet Big Brother.
