What is the overall tone of this poem and how is it achieved?"To a Wasp," the author is Janice Townley Moore

In the poem "To a Wasp," the tone is foreboding. It is a
warning that death is inevitable. No one can escape it. The fist in the clouds was a
sign that God was angry. It was an omen. The tone is also one of pity. The reader pities
the wasp as it faces death.

Disaster is looming on the
horizon. The wasp is chuckling, thinking he has won a victory by entry into the kitchen.
The fact of the matter is that the wasp is on its way to its "delicious
death."

There is something cynical in the author's calm
description of the wasp's "delicious death." The wasp is churned to its death. It
probably didn't feel a thing is the author's frame of
mind.

Overall, the reader is left with a sense of pity. In
this poem, the reader has a sense of sorrow for the wasp.

In Act V, scene 3 of Julius Caesar, identify at least three examples of irony.

Well, clearly one of the biggest examples of irony in this
scene emerges from the way that Cassius misconstrued what happened when he sent Titinius
to see what was happening. Cassius thought that Titinius had been captured and that the
shouts of joy were from the opposition soldiers at having captured him, whereas in fact
it was the shouts of joy from Brutus's soldiers at being victorious. Brutus had given
Titinius a victory garland to give to Cassius, but ironically, the shouts of joy that
heralded Cassius's victory resulted in his death.

Secondly,
I would say that it is ironic how reference is made yet again to how Julius Caesar's
might and power outlives his mortal body. When Brutus discovers what has happened and
how Cassius has died, he attributes the disaster immediately to the power of
Caesar:

O
Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet!

Thy spirit walks
abroad, and turns our swords

In our own proper
entrails.

Ironically, Caesar
only seems to have been made more powerful through his assassination, whereas obviously
the conspirators thought that his death would be the end of
him.

Lastly, I would say by far the keenest irony lies in
the character of Cassius. Throughout the play, he shows himself to be an incredibly
shrewd reader of situations and characters. He knows just how to manipulate Brutus to
get him to join the conspirators. He recognises the danger of Antony and recommends he
be killed, and then he also advises Brutus to not let him address the crowd at Caesar's
funeral. However, in this one fatal incident, he reads the situation badly, and dies as
a result.

Discuss Mary Magdalene as a preacher.

As with so much in Biblical studies, I think that you can
find much to support as well as to challenge the role Magdalene had as a preacher of
Christ's word.  I think that there is much out there in Biblical scholarship to indicate
that Magdalene occupied a central role in spreading the word of Christ.  This is
enhanced by the notion that Magdalene was present at his crucifixion.  Some argue that
Christ rose from the dead to tell the women, specifically Mary, to spread the word of
his resurrection.  Harvard theologian Karen King argues similarly in this intense role
of Magdalene in the spreading of Christ's belief system and set of core
values:

King
cites references in the Gospel of John that the risen Jesus gives Mary special teaching
and commissions her as an 'Apostle to the Apostles.' Mary is the first to announce the
resurrection and to fulfill the role of an Apostle─someone sent by Jesus with a special
message or commission, to spread the gospel ('good news') and to lead the early
church.

This is enhanced by
the idea that Mary Magdalene is amongst the first to notify the other apostles, who fled
from Christ's crucifixion, of his rising from the dead and the resurrection of the
savior.  Mary Magdalene's role as "Apostle to the Apostles" would include significant
preaching because of her compulsion and her close emotional and spiritual proximity to
Christ, himself.  In the end, this becomes one of the central tenets to her role as a
preacher and believer in the word of Jesus.

In chapters 40-41 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, why doesn’t Huck leave the house to check on Tom at the raft?

In Chapters Forty and Forty-one of Mark Twain's
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the boys (following one of
Tom's "hare-brained" schemes) decide to help Jim escape his captivity. In the ruckus
that ensues this "escape," Tom is shot in the calf of his leg. Forever acting out some
novel or another, he dramatically tells Jim to run for it—and to leave Tom behind to
fend for himself. Jim, however, absolutely refuses to leave Tom, showing that his love
for the boys and their well-being is more important than even his own
freedom.

So Huck leaves Jim and Tom on the raft and goes
for a doctor. The doctor agrees to help, though he is suspicious, but he will only go
out in the canoe by himself, believing it won't carry more than one person. Huck returns
home and Aunt Sally eventually clears the house of all the visitors there because of the
threatening letter and/or Jim's escape. She then tucks Huck in. He has plans to go to
the raft to check on Tom, but Aunt Sally begs him not to
leave.

Laws
knows I wanted to go bad enough to see about Tom, and was all intending to go; but after
that I wouldn't 'a' went, not for
kingdoms.

Aunt Sally is
already worried about Tom and doesn't want to "lose" the one boy that
is home. She is so loving and kind to Huck that he doesn't have the
heart to go. It is for this reason that Huck does not check out Tom's condition, while
he is wounded and on the raft.

When is Holden Caulfield "phony" himself in "The Catcher in the Rye" ?What are some examples of Holden being a phony and who does he think is a...

Holden, from The Catcher in the Rye,
constantly calls others phony. He sees people who are insecure, shallow, and too
conventional as "phonies".  Holden also believes that actors are "phonies" given they
"never act like people". Basically, Holden believes most all people are phony- aside
from the nuns and Phoebe.

Holden, therefore, can be
considered a phony.  He fails to act like a person at many times throughout the novel. 
He ignores the fact that he has a mental issue.  He refuses to see any problem as one he
created.  Holden cannot see what is happening to him and hides it with his excuses and
own masking thoughts.  If Holden was to take a good look at himself, he would realize
that he is not much different from the people he claims to be
phony.

What message do you think Twain is trying to convey throughout "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"?

There is a sense in which this hilarious tale can be read
as something of a cutting commentary about American society in the time of writing. Note
the way in which Easterners are presented as being sophisticated and knowledgeable and
Westerners lack an education and are gullible, at least at surface level. Yet Twain does
this to explore these national stereotypes more deeply by exchanging the roles. The
Easterner (the narrator), is a snob who is gullible and easily tricked, whilst the
Westerner (Simon Wheeler) is someone who, whilst he lacks the formal education of the
narrator, nevertheless shows himself to be more intelligent and has the ability to
narrate and recount hilarious tales.

The tale within the
tale also would have had certain significance for Twain's readership. Daniel Webster was
a famous American statesman known for his rhetoric. Andrew Jackson was a former
president was a firm advocate of democracy and rights for everyone. The use of these
allusions show that the kind of picture of Americans that Twain was presenting was one
that had many different angles to it: Americans are depicted as having the ability to be
practical, resourceful and determined (traits that arguably Americans are famous for),
whilst at the same time naive, narrow-minded and easily tricked.

What was the American Revolution?

The term “American Revolution” is generally used to refer
to the rebellion and war that ended with the 13 British colonies in North America
becoming an independent country, the United States of America.  The part of the American
Revolution that was an actual war is said to have started with the Battles of Lexington
and Concord in April of 1775 and to have ended with the Battle of Yorktown, which lasted
for a few months and ended in October of 1781.  The part of the rebellion that did not
include military action is said to have begun after the end of the French and Indian
War, which ended in 1763.  This part lasted up through the beginning of the military
phase of the rebellion.

From Arthur "Boo" Radley's perspective, how should I say he reacts to people who mention or bring his past back?in To Kill a Mockingbird

It's difficult to know how Arthur Radley would respond to
a discussion of his past in To Kill a Mockingbird, because he is a
recluse. Probably the best insight into why Arthur is a recluse comes from Miss Maudie,
who explains to Jem and Scout one day that when Arthur and the other boys got in trouble
for a teenage prank, Arthur paid a much higher price because of the cruelty of his
parents.  He was basically placed under house arrest for so long that he lost any
ability to carry on normal relationships with people; the Radleys apparently took
religion very seriously, but as Miss Maudie pointed out, were more than a little
hypocritical in using religion as a reason to ruin their son's life.  The element of the
mysterious Boo Radley living in the decrepit home is one of the elements of the novel
that puts it in the category of "Gothic". 

Find the domain of the curve y=x/(2x-3)^2.

Given the curve y= x/
(2x-3)^2

The domain is all x values such that the function
is defined.

Since the function is a ratio, then the
denominator should NOT be zero.

Let us determine the zeros
of the denominator.

==> 2x-3 = 0 ==> 2x = 3
==> x = 3/2

Then the domain is all x values except
3/2.

==> The domain = R - { 3/2

I need to analyze this quote from Paradise Lost and and show image, symbol or theme. "Sufficient to have stood, though free to fall"

The quote you have identified is very important to the
entire work of John Milton because, in this one phrase, lies Milton's entire belief
about free will, a vital concept when we come to understand theology and God's
relationship with his creation. Talking about Satan in Book 3 of this excellent epic
narrative, God tells Jesus how he made Satan "just and right," then saying that this is
defined as being "Sufficient to have stood, but free to fall." Thus God makes us and his
creatures with everything we need to metaphorically "stand" in relationship with God and
maintain our upright character, but at the same time, he has not made us like unthinking
robots. Indeed, he has given us the freedom to choose our own paths, and just like
Satan, we are free to "fall" away from following God if that is what we choose to do.
The key is though that this is our decision: nothing that is forced upon us by God. The
choice is ours.

how can there be repilsion forces between the nucleons?

/ It was very simple  answer/ In fact,nucleons  act
reciprocally  by the nuclear  field  which  consists of virtual п-mezons,really - 
nucleons  are surrounded  a mesonic  "fur coat". And  between  nucleons   operate  only
nuclear  forces(every  nucleon  has a constant  of strong  co-operations, which 
determines  the size  of nuclear  forces)  . Electric  charge    does not influence on
them. There is charge's independence of nuclear  forces. If we  examined  these  forces,

How long should seen questions be in an exam at undergraduate psychology level (third year)? I am writing a seen question on the...

There is no definitive answer to this unless your
University proposes one.

Essentially you need to
remeber five things

1) the law of diminishing returns--say
a q has 20 marks, the first 5 marks are the easy to get, the next 5 a little bit
harder, the next 5 are much more dificult , the next 3 you have to be brilliant, the
final 2 are probably never awarded

Therfore allocate time
per mark to a Q. stop when the time is up and come back if time is
available

2) Answer the question--biggest mistake by
students. Read the question, read it again and then write it out in your own
words

3) write a plan: no matter how simple --and as ideas
pop in your head add them to the plan--you will forget them
otherwise

4) Understand the learning objectives of the
module.  marking must be related to learning objectives so the better you understan them
the better you can pan answers

5) For the seen question
write it out with all availble material, before the exam, then learn the intro and the
conclusion and bullet point the mid sesctions.  That way you can whizz straight into the
intro and the rest will come to you and when tou are stressed at the end the conclusion
is already in your head.

From the graph of x = 4 find the characteristics of the line.

The equation tells us that x always equals 4.  This is a
constraint on the value of x.  However, there are no restrictions on what the value of y
can be, so once one is at 4 on the x-axis (4,0), there is an infinite number of points
both positive and negative which create a line parallel to, and four units to the right
of, the y-axis, a vertical line.

The slope of a vertical
line is UNDEFINED.  Why is that so?  If you have a line with a positive slope, and you
make it steeper and steeper so that the [absolute] value of y is increasingly greater
than the [absolute] value of x, you eventually will approach a limit of positive
infinity.  If you do the same thing with a negatively-sloped line, you eventually will
approach a limit of negative infinity.  A number cannot be infinitely positive and
infinitely negative at the same time, so that is why the slope of a vertical line is
undefined.

What is the antiderivative of the function y=(e^sinx)*cosx?

To determine the antiderivative of the given function,
we'll have to evaluate the indefinite integral.

We can use
the substitution technique to evaluate the indefinite
integral.

Let sin x be t.

sin
x = t

We'll differentiate both sides and we'll
get:

cos x*dx = dt

We'll
re-write the integral, changing the x variable:

Int (e^sin
x)*cos x dx  = Int e^t*dt

Int e^t*dt = e^t +
C

The requested antiderivative of the
function y =(e^sin x)*cos x  is: Y =  [e^(sin x)] +
C

Is this hearsay evidence admissible?There is a bomb threat at school. Anne testifies that she was standing in the school hallway when she heard a...

The answer to this depends on the way in which these
statements are going to be used.

As the link below tells
us, hearsay can be admissible if all that the attorney is trying to prove is that some
statement was made (not that the statement was true).  The link says that hearsay is
permissible if the attorney wants the judge or jury

readability="7">

...to consider the fact that a certain statement
was made, but not the truthfulness of that
statement...

So, Anne's
statement would not be admissible as proof that a bomb was planted.  It would be
permissible as proof that someone said a bomb had been
planted.  It can prove the existence of the statement but not its
veracity.

Jacob's second statement is likewise permissible
as long as it is being used to shed light on Anne's credibility.  The fact that she took
those actions would imply that she did not actually know who had planted the bomb.  This
could be used to impeach her testimony.

Compare and contrast how the relationship between parent and child is portrayed in Thomas Hardy's "The Son's Veto" and D.H. Lawrence's "A Fly in...

Thomas Hardy's, "The Son's Veto," and the short story, "A
Fly in the Ointment" by D. H. Lawrence both tell stories of boys and their
mothers.

In "The Son's Veto," the mother is a commoner who
marries a man above her station. When her husband dies, she is left with a son who is
critical and resentful of her lack of sophitication. When she wants to remarry, because
this "new man" is not a "gentleman," the son makes his mother swear at an altar that she
will not remarry without his consent. Four years later, there is a funeral in her home
town, and we can assume that she has died without ever receiving his consent to remarry.
When she had hoped to remarry a man who had loved her in her youth, her health improved
and she had hopes of happiness; but being shut off from the world and utterly dominated
by her snobbish, selfish and uncaring son, she dies, never realizing that
happiness—having felt for most of her life like an
outsider.

On a much different note, Lawrence's "A Fly in
the Ointment" tells the story of a young boy in India who lives with his mother, father
and young brother in the desert of India. They are very poor. While
their father is out in the desert searching for food all day, Raj stays at home with the
rest of his family. His mother and he have a very good relationship. He shares with her
his excitement at seeing a lizard, and his disappointment when it gets away. His mother
comforts him, saying there will always be more lizards. She gently teaches her young son
to milk the goat. He does it twice on this particular day, and both times he looks to
his mother for approval, and she gives it willingly, with a smile. He is gentle in
nature, and happy to help his mother. He also listens to what she says without reproach,
but with respect.

The boys in the stories treat their
mothers very different. The only thing
that the two boys in the story have in common is that they are sons and have
mothers.

In "The Son's Veto," the son is unkind, intolerant
and cruel. He thinks only of himself—never once concerning himself with his mother's
feelings or happiness, not even responding to her heart-felt tears over his possible
unhappiness.

In "A Fly in the Ointment," Raj is a loving
and supportive child whose gentle nature and kind spirit help his mother make it through
another day without food: but their spirits are high and the love in this family is
apparent.

In The Picture of Dorian Gray, does Dorian Gray attempt to reform his dissolute life?

In the novel The Picture of Dorian
Gray, by Oscar Wilde, the character of Dorian Gray is a tragic antihero. His
vanity and propensity for being easily-led drives him towards a path of self-destructive
behaviors. All his actions were done under the wrong idea that life is meant to be a
feast for the senses. Therefore, he over-indulges in every whimsical taste that comes to
his fancy. 

Undoubtedly it is Dorian's impulsive behavior
that leads him to try, in three different ocasions, to reivindicate his ways and lead a
life of virtue. He fails in all three ocasions. His capricious nature prevents him from
deviating from anything that is not intense, nor perverse,
enough.

However, this aspect of Dorian's personality is
only known to us after he meets the dark influential person of Lord Henry Wooton. Prior
to this, Dorian actually was close to leading a normal life. He was even interested in
philanthropy. This plan, however, was deterred by Lord Henry's interference, where he
begins his journey into Dorian's mind by promoting a gospel of hedonism that Dorian
quickly follows.

The second time Dorian tries to change his
life is when meets a lower-class actress named Sybil Vane. Dorian's fascination with the
actress is clearly another caprice of his, particularly when he decides that he is going
to marry her. When he speaks of her, he continuously compares her to the Shakespearian
characters that she interprets. He insists that he is going to love her forever. He
basically promises Sybil the world. In turn, the woman falls madly in love with Dorian,
and decides that acting is no longer her passion: Dorian is. Sadly for her, when Sybil
acts badly one night, Dorian's fantasy of her ends and his coldness and meanness towards
her leads to her suicide.

The last try occurs the next day,
when Dorian is again touched by the idea of living a life of virtue with Sybil Vane, and
sends her a letter. However, he receives the news from Lord Henry of Sybil's suicide.
Instead of learning from this sad event and understanding the gravity of his behavior,
Dorian takes Sybil's tragedy as her final performance. He was happy that someone would
have done something like that in the name of romance. This is Dorian's turning point in
life: From this moment on, his life becomes nothing but complete
chaos.

What is the area of the circle x^2 + y^2 - 6x +12 y= 20?

Given the equation of the circle
:

x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 12y =
20

First we will rewrite the equation into the standard
form

(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 such that r is the
radius.

We will complete the square for x^2 -6x and y^2
+12y

==> x^2 - 6x + 9 -9 + y^2 + 12y +36 - 36 =
20

==> (x-3)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 20 + 9 +
36

==> (x-3)^2 + (y+6)^2 =
65

Then the radius of the circle is
sqrt65.

Now we will calculate the
area.

==> A = r^2 * pi = sqrt65^2 * pi
65pi

Then the area of the circle is 65pi
square units.

In Guns Germs and Steel, what major factor of unification allows for a smooth flow of technology and crops from all parts of East Asia?history

There are at least two important factors of unification
that allowed for this to happen.

First, there were
geographic factors.  Diamond argues that the topography of East Asia made diffusion
relatively easy.  He notes that there were long east-west rivers in China along which
technology and crops could flow.  In addition, there were no major features (like
mountain ranges) blocking diffusion along that
axis.

Second, there was a political factor.  China was so
dominant in the area that it created an environment in which technology and crops could
spread.  Since China created a huge states, there were no political barriers to
diffusion of technology and crops.

Need help solving: x(2x+7)=0 & 9x squared + 12x +14 (the answer is a fraction)I do not understand factoring the quadratic equation when the...

We'll solve the first
equation:

x(2x+7) = 0

The
product is cancelling if one of the factors is
cancelling.

We'll cancel out the first factor,
x:

x = 0

We'll cancel out the
next factor, x:

2x+  7 = 0

2x
= -7 =>> x = -7/2

We'll solve the second
equation

9x^2 + 12x + 14 =
0

We'll apply quadratic formula to determine it's
roots::

x1 =
[-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a

We'll identify he coefficients
a,b,c.

a = 9, b = 12 and c =
14

x1 = [-12+sqrt(144 -
504)]/18

x1 =
[-12+sqrt(-360)]/18

x1 =
(-12+6i*sqrt10)/18

We'll divide by
6:

x1 = (-2+i*sqrt10)/3

x2 =
(-2-i*sqrt10)/3

The real roots of the 1st
equation are x = 0 and x = -7/2 and the roots of the 2nd equation are complex number and
they are x1 = (-2+i*sqrt10)/3 and x2 =
(-2-i*sqrt10)/3.

What is the essence of Mayella's testimony in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Mayella claimed during her questioning by Mr. Gilmer that
she had asked Tom Robinson to come "bust up" a chifforobe for her for which she had
offered him a nickel.  Her fictional testimony at this point gets a little fuzzy: She
ran into the house to get him the nickel, she said, and he ran up behind her and had her
around the neck and was hitting her.  She fought "tooth and nail," but she claimed to
have fainted at some point and was sure she was assaulted during her time unconscious,
because, in her words, "he done what he was after."  During Atticus's cross examination,
it becomes known that Mayella is basically illiterate, doesn't know exactly how long her
mother has been dead, doesn't attend school or have friends, and despite her efforts at
evading the question, she more or less acknowledges that her father hits her when he's
been drinking.

I need to give an example that illustrates the relationship between globalization and the environment.I know that pollution it's one. But i need...

Pollution is certainly one example of this.  Another one
that has been relatively well-publicized lately is the deforestation that has been
happening in places like Indonesia because of the global demand for palm oil.  This is
an example of the environment being degraded in order to produce a good that is desired
all over the world.

Palm oil is a commodity that is needed
today for use in cooking, but also for biofuels and for use in cosmetics.  Because of
this, the price of palm oil has been rising.  This makes people and countries want to
grow palms for oil.  In places like Indonesia, this has led to the destruction of
natural forests.   This has also led to an increase in emissions of greenhouse gasses. 
As the worldwatch.org link below says,

readability="7">

Due mostly to oil palm production, Indonesia
emits more greenhouse gases than any country besides China and the United
States.

There are many other
examples like this.  The basic idea is that a globalized economy can create increased
demand for goods.  Countries often start to degrade their environments in order to meet
that increased demand.

Please help me write a letter asking my boss if I can work three days a week.

If you are writing a letter like this, you are going to
need to make it clear to the boss why it would be a good idea (from her perspective) to
let you work three days a week.  I assume this is less than you are now
working.

You will need to portray this as something that
would be good for the business where you work.  Perhaps you could say that you will be
able to be a better employee if you do not have as much stress as you currently
have.

You should probably also emphasize that you are
positive about working where you do.  You need to make it clear that you do not want to
quit but that you need to have fewer hours so as to be able to A) be less stressed and
B) continue to be able to work rather than having to quit.

Why is King Henry VIII famous?

Henry VIII (June 28, 1491 - January 28, 1547) became king
at a young age, on April 21, 1509 and ruled until his death in 1547.  Aside from being
short tempered and notorious for torturing people and having them beheading and/or
burned alive for various reasons, Henry VIII was also famous for his marital issues,
which ultimately resulted in his break from the Catholic Church.  Henry was married 6
times: having 2 of his wives beheaded, 2 of his marrages annulled, his 3rd wife died
after an infection after giving birth to their child, and he was survived by his 6th
wife.

Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon since 1507,
but he was displeased that she never gave him a male heir.  In 1525 Henry became
completely infatuated with one of her ladies in waiting, Anne
Boelyn, who was younger.  Henry had already taken Anne's sister as a
mistress, but had grown tired of her, which is why Anne resisted his advancements. 
However, her hard-to-get behavior made him crazy about her.  She eventually used his
obsession as a way to become queen, by refusing to sleep with him until he was divorced,
and the two of them were
married.

Henry used Catherine's previous marriage to his
brother (who was ill and died 5 months into it) to try an convince the Pope that,
according to Ecclesiatical Law, it was wrong in the eyes of God for a man to take his
brother's wife, and he was being punished. He used his lack of having a male heir as his
"evidence" of God's displeasure.  However Catherine insisted her first marriage was
never consummated.  After several years of unsuccessfully getting the Pope to grant him
an annullment, he grew tired of fighting about the matter, and decided to break free
from the Catholic Church.

Henry created the Church of
England, and named himself supreme head.  He had his marriage to Catherine declared null
and void, and was free to marry Anne.

Henry and Anne were
married, and had it officially declared legal in May of 1933.  In September of 1533,
Anne gave birth to Elizabeth.  Both were disappointed.  Henry quickly grew tired of
Anne's outspoken nature and after having two miscarrages, one of which was a boy, Henry
lost his patience with her.  He accused her of using witchcraft to get him to marry her,
and by May of 1536 had her arrested, and falsely accused of incest (with her brother)
and adultry with 5 men.  Anne was executed on May 19, 1536, two days after executing the
men. As a "favor" the King hired an expert swordsman to behead
her.

On the day of Anne's execution, Henry became engaged
to one of Anne's ladies in waiting, Jane Seymore.  10 days later they were married. 
Although she managed finally give Henry the legitimate boy (Prince Edward) that he
wanted, she ironically died as a result of an infection on October
24, 1537, from giving birth.

Henry married Anne of Cleves
in 1940. He was displeased by her appearance, after only seeing it in a portrait. 6
months into their marriage he claimed that it was never consummated and she was wise
enough to agree.  She was instead declared "The King's Sister" and sent to live in one
of Anne Boelyn's castles.

Henry married the very young
Catherine Howard about 2 weeks later. He was crazy about her, until finding out she had
an affair with Thomas Culpeper (a courtier). After less than 2 years of marriage she was
executed.

Lastly, Henry married a wealthy widow, Catherin
Parr in 1943. She disagreed with him about religion but kept her head by showing her
submissiveness.

In 1547 Henry died.

Discuss Mulk Raj Anand as a political novelist with reference to Coolie.

As a writer who became active in the 1930s, Mulk Raj Anand
conceived writing action as a form of political action. The Thirties were the decade
that saw the birth of the Indian movement for independence and the organization of
Marxist political parties. These were a clear influence on his writings of the era,
including Coolie (1936), which powerfully link India's social
problems to the caste system as a necessary product of capitalism and British rule. In
his preface to the second edition of Two Leaves and a Bud (1951),
Anand explcitly commented that his choice to write about the oppressed rather than the
rich was dictated by the need to explore the topic of class exploitation that
nationalist writers had so far neglected. Coolie describes the life
of Munoo with a polemical intent, painting a vast picture of the different social
realities and geographical landscapes of India. The book is clearly designed to provoke
indignation and promote social change.

Give some vital characteristics of a common man whom we meet in our daily life.

According to the website "art of manliness", there are 7
vital characteristics of being a man.  The characteristics could be easily compared to a
laundry list that women look for in considering a man for dating/marriage.  Here are the
"7 vital characteristics":

1. Physical- a man must be aware
of his capability to survive.  Much like Herbert Spencer's ideology, man must be viable
enough to insure passage of his genes.

2. Functional- Man
must know what he is responsible for (be it breadwinner, spousal supporter, etc.) and be
able to live up to the expectations set for him by those around him as well as himself.
He must be able to function in the role of the path he has chosen for his life (and
sometimes function in the role of the path he has ended up
in).

3.  Sexual-  Man must be a sexual being.  To shadow
#1, Man must be willing and capable to pass along his
genes.

4. Emotional- While the stereotypical "boys don't
cry" has lost some of its "uumph" in recent years, men are still required to know how to
manage their emotions. Based upon this, while men are typically not as emotional as
women, this allows them to take a much more objective stand on problems or circumstances
that arise.

5. Intellectual- Men have historically looked
at as being intellectually superior.  Women, when looking for a potential mate, look for
intellectual men.  Again, mirroring #4, the intellectual man can be more objective in
critical situations.

6. Interpersonal- Historiically, men
have always taken on a variety of leadership roles.  Given the typical patriarchial
societal rules, men have always led the family.  This leadership role propelled men into
similar roles in their communities.

7. Other- Any
characteristics not defined previously.  These characteristics defined by the website
detail pride, honor, and ambition as "other".

Basically,
what this site provides as "vital characteristics" are what many people see in the
"common man" characteristics you are looking for. Unfortunately, this question is
subjective given that what people look for in a good man is simply too subjective.  But,
I hope that this helps lead you in the right direction.

What are some examples of "environmental terrorism" in Margaret Atwood's novel The Year of the Flood?

Margaret Atwood's novel, The Year of the
Flood, is a continuation of her earlier novel, Oryx and
Crake. In that novel, we learn of the first example of title="environmental terrorism"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_terrorism">environmental
terrorism: the Crake released a plague to kill humans in order to allow the
introduction and survival of "a new race of genetic hybrids called 'Crakers.'” The
effect of such a move has a devastating effect on the environment and its ability to
sustain the lives of the survivors.

There are other forms
of "environmental terrorism."

One of the animals that has
been genetically-altered are pigs, called "pigoons;" they are very smart and destructive
to gardens which are necessary for the survival of those still alive, as well as those
who are preparing for the next "apocalyptic pandemic, which they call the 'Waterless
Flood,'" by "prepar[ing] 'Ararats' that contain food and supplies" for survival after
the flood.

One of the surviving groups is called the
Gardeners, that is something of a religious cult. Their wish is to live peacefully,
honoring those who have died and what has been lost, rather than taking steps to stop
further degradation of their world.

...our role in respect to the Creatures is to
bear witness...and to guard the memories and genomes of the
departed.

However, one of its
members, Zeb, creates a new group called "MaddAddam." He wants to stop the extinction of
countless species, occurring at an alarming rate. This is another example of
environmental terrorism:

readability="5">

There’s at least a hundred new extinct species
since this time last
month.

This is caused, in
some part, by a restaurant called Rarities, "which serves endangered
species."

One of the new members of MaddAddam is Crake
(introduced in the first novel). He is supportive of the group's desire to halt the
destruction of their world, however his idea in doing so comes in
the form of a pandemic plague that he releases. One of the major
characters, Toby, reflects that this is...

readability="5">

not an ordinary pandemic: it wouldn’t be
contained after a few hundred thousand
deaths.

This then, becomes
the "Waterless Flood" that the characters of the book have feared, another act of
environmental terrorism for which so many have been storing food and supplies in hope of
surviving its destructive power.

What are all solution of the equation 289^x-12*17^x+11=0 ?

Since 289 is a power of 17, we'll
write:

289 = 17^2

We'll raise
both sides by x;

289^x =
17^2x

We'll re-write the
equation:

17^2x - 12*17^x + 11 =
0

We'll replace 17^x by 
t:

t^2 - 12t + 11 = 0

t^2 - t
- 11t + 11 = 0

t(t - 1) - 11(t-1) =
0

(t - 1)(t - 11) = 0

We'll
cancel each factor and w'ell get:

t - 1 = 0 => t1 =
1

t - 11 = 0 => t2 =
11

17^x = t1 <=> 17^x  = 1 <=>
17^x = 17^0

Since the bases are matching, we'll apply one
to one property:

x = 0

17^x =
t2<=> 17^x  = 11 <=> ln 17^x = ln 11 => x = ln 11/ln
17

The complete set of solutions of the
equation is {0 ; ln 11/ln 17}.

Which of the following was true of both the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Berlin Blockade and Airlift?A commom feature of the Berlin Blockade and...

The only possible answer here is C.  You might be tempted
to put B as the answer, but you should not do that.

The
reason that B is not correct is that, in 1948-9 there was not really any chance of a
global nuclear war.  It was not until the end of August, 1949 that the Soviet Union even
conducted a successful nuclear test.  This means that there was absolutely no way that a
global nuclear war could have broken out over the Berlin blockade.  At this point, the
US did have atomic bombs, but it did not have the missile technology to deliver them so
it would have had to rely on bombers.

This means that the
only possible answer is C.  In both cases, there was a high risk of armed conflict
between the US and the USSR.

What important historical events happened in 1979 that affected U S foreign policy?

The most important event in 1979 having to do with US
foreign policy was the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis.  This event has continued
to impact US foreign policy down to the present.

When
Iranians rebelled against the Shah, the US became their major enemy because it had
supported the Shah and his repressive regime.  Since then, Iran has been ruled by a
theocracy that is very anti-US and is, since Ahmedinejad has been in office, also very
openly anti-Israel.  The hostility of Iran towards the US has a huge impact on our
foreign policy.  Right now, one of the biggest worries the US has in the Middle East is
the problem of Iran's nuclear program and its more general interest in undermining US
interests around the region.

Because it continues to have
an impact today, the Iranian Revolution was the most important event in 1979 when it
comes to US foreign policy.

What expectations of privacy and protection from search and seizure does the defendant have after arrest?

I assume that you are asking about an arrest in which the
police do not also have a search warrant.  If this is the case, the police have the
right to search the arrestee and they have the right to search in ways that will protect
them from possible harm.  However, as seen in the Chimel v. California
case, the police may not search a whole house.  In that way, the arrestee has
the expectation of privacy in the rest of his or her
house.

When a person is arrested at home, the police may
search the area in his or her immediate control.  They may also search to the extent
that is necessary to ensure that they will not be attacked by anyone else who may be
hiding in the house.  However, they may not simply act as if they have a search warrant
and search the whole house.

Explain the outcomes of the court cases; Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education.

Both court cases dealt with the Equal Protection Clause of
the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Plessy vs. Ferguson was
decided in 1896 when Plessy, who was part black, was removed from a railroad passenger
car which had been designated "whites only." The Supreme Court held that separate
facilities were constitutionally protected as long as they were "equal facilities."
Hence was born the doctrine of "Separate but Equal," an incongruous policy which was
practiced for almost seventy years. Under separate but equal, black and white children
were forced to attend separate schools; public restrooms, water fountains, theaters,
restaurants, etc. were segregated by race. They were in fact anything but
equal.

Brown vs. Board of Education
was decided in 1954. It was one of several cases joined for hearing before the Supreme
Court. In that case, the court held that segregated public schools were indeed a
violation of the 14th Amendment. The Court held that segregated schools had "no place"
in American society and that schools must be desegregated "at
once."

Needless to say, the ruling met with tremendous
resentment. This writer began first grade in 1954, the year Brown vs. Board of
Education was handed down. There were no black students in my school until my
twelfth grade year in 1966.

What diseases do pandas have?Be specific and include how they obtained this disease.

normal condition, diseases may be the most harmful to the
survival of the giant pandas. The diseases in the digestive system, the respiratory
system, the nervous system and the hemopoietic system are usually fatal, and they will
have all kinds of tumors, the endoparasites and ectoparasites diseases, skin diseases,
traumas and so on, which can affect the health and life-span of the giant
pandas

Digestive system diseases: vomit, diarrhea, blood in
stool, and ileuses; Respiratory system diseases: cold and upper respiratory tract
infection; Nervous system diseases: falling sickness; Hemopoietic system diseases:
hemolytic anemia, seasonal febrile diseases; The parasites: the panda ascarids, tick
acarids, etc.

Natural
Enemies:
The giant pandas hold themselves aloof from the world,
but in the habitat, there are still some animals that are their enemies, such as the
Asian golden cats, the leopards, the jackals, the wolves, the yellowthroated martens,
etc, which will mainly attack the baby pandas, the sick ones, the weak ones and the
aging ones. Because the young and strong giant pandas still haven't lost the ferocity of
their flesh-eating ancestors, they will not be afraid in face of the strong ones, and
make the enemies be scared. Once the giant pandas in the zoo that seem to be
docile

What should I say in a presentation about tattoos for sociology?

In terms of sociology, the most interesting things about
tattoos would have to do with which groups of people do or do not have
tattoos.

I would do research into the topic to confirm that
there have been changes in the groups of people who have tattoos.  I believe that
tattoos began as very much a lower class thing.  In past times, a "normal" middle class
person would never have a tattoo.  This would have been especially true of women.  Now,
tattoos seem to be quite prevalent among all classes of
people.

I would try to make a sociological argument as to
why tattoos have become more popular and why they have lost the stigma that they had as
recently as 2 or 3 decades ago.

What are the likely benefits of engaging in ethical actions?

There are at least two types of benefits of engaging in
ethical actions.  One type of benefit is pragmatic and tangible, the other is more
psychological or spiritual.

Psychologically or spiritually,
if you engage in ethical actions, you are likely to feel better about yourself.  You
will not feel a guilty conscience over your behaviors.  You will be able to feel proud
of yourself and your conduct.  This is certainly a real
benefit.

There are other benefits that are more tangible. 
For example, ethical conduct is likely to make other people trust you more.  If you get
a reputation for acting ethically, you will probably be more likely to impress people
and make them want to help you.  A teacher might recommend you for a scholarship.  A
businessperson might be more likely to want you to work for them.  These sorts of more
tangible benefits can also come from ethical behavior.

If I was told to summarise only the plot of Othello in 10-20 bullet points, how should I do it ?

The play begins on a street in
Venice.

Iago and Roderigo are having a
disagreement.

Roderigo is upset because Iago had not told
him about Desdemona's recent marriage to Othello.

Roderigo
loves Desdemona and had previously asked her father for her hand in
marriage.

Desdemona has just married
Othello.

Iago and Roderigo inform her father, Brabantio, of
Desdemona's marriage.

Iago is upset at Othello for naming
Cassio as his lieutenant.

Iago is out to cause trouble for
Othello.

Brabantio threatens to arrest Othello for using
witchcraft to win his daughter, but Desdemona confirms her love for
Othello.

In Cyprus, Cassio fights and loses his position as
lieutenant.

Iago sets Cassio up by encouraging him to seek
Desdemona's help for Cassio's reinstatement of his
position.

Meanwhile, Iago plants seeds of jealousy in
Othello concerning Cassio and Desdemona.

When Desdemona
pleads for Cassio's position, Iago uses this as a trap to insinuate that Cassio and
Desdemona are having an affair.

Othello becomes enraged
with jealousy.

Iago plants Desdemona's handkerchief on
Cassio.

When Othello learns that Cassio has Desdemona's
handkerchief, he is convinced that Cassio and Desdemona are having an
affair.

Wild with rage, Othello smothers
Desdemona.

When Emilia, Iago's wife, reveals that Iago
deceitfully planted the handkerchief on Cassio, Othello regrets killing
Desdemona.

Othello is in utter hopelessness; therefore, he
kills himself.

Iago is arrested.

Solve the equations: 2y-5x+3 = 0 and 3y+x -5 = 0

2y - 5x + 3 =
0..........(1)

3y + x - 5 = 0
.............(2)

We will solve the system using the
elimination method.

We will multiply equation (2) by
5.

==> 15y + 5x - 25 =
0

Now we will add to
(1).

==> 17y - 22 =
0

==> 17y=
22

==> y= 22/17

Now we
will substitute into (2) to fin x.

==> x = 5- 3y= 5-
3(22/17) = (85-66)/17 = 19/17

Then the
solution to the equations is the pair ( 19/17 ,
22/17).

How does Miss Caroline Fisher feel at the end of her first day in To Kill a Mockingbird? How do you know?

As a former teacher who taught many students far worse
than Burris Ewell over the years, I know that Miss Caroline was at her wits' end
following her tumultuous first day. Miss Caroline came into class a little too cocky and
a little too presumptuous when it came to dealing with her young students, most of whom
were attending school for the first time. Miss Caroline made many mistakes, one of which
was criticizing Scout for being able to read and write--cursive, no less--and then
assuming that Atticus--perhaps the most intelligent man in the town--was incapable of
teaching his daughter. Although Miss Caroline was duly versed in many modern teaching
methods, she failed to take into account the type of students she was teaching. Several,
including Walter and Burris, were repeating the first grade. She didn't seem to realize
that many of the students couldn't afford lunch money or have the proper parental
supervision to bathe regularly. She was unable to control the noise in her class,
prompting another teacher to threaten her with burning the class with "everybody in
it." The class filed out for lunch break with Miss Caroline burying "her head in her
arms."

Things got even worse after lunch. She screamed
aloud upon seeing lice in Burris' hair; he responded by calling her a "snot-nosed slut."
Little Chuck Little nearly pulled a knife to defend her from Burris, and Miss Caroline
began crying again. The children felt sorry for her though, and after they encouraged
her a bit, she blew her nose, and said "Thank you, darlings," before reading them a
story from Wind in the Willows.  

Verify if I(n+4)+I(n)=1/(n+1), if I(n)=Integral of x^n/(x^4+1)?limits of integration ar x=0 and x=1

It is given that I(n) = Int[x^n/(x^4+1) dx], x = 0 to x =
1

I(n+4) + I(n)

=>
Int[x^(n+4)/(x^4+1) dx], x = 0 to x = 1 + Int[x^n/(x^4+1) dx], x = 0 to x =
1

=> Int[x^(n+4)/(x^4+1) dx] + Int[x^n/(x^4+1) dx],
x = 0 to x = 1

=> Int[(x^(n+4)/(x^4+1) +
x^n/(x^4+1)) dx], x = 0 to x = 1

=> Int[(x^(n+4) +
x^n)/(x^4+1) dx], x = 0 to x = 1

=> Int[(x^n(x^4 +
1)/(x^4+1) dx], x = 0 to x = 1

=> Int[x^n dx], x = 0
to x = 1

=> [x^(n + 1)]/(n + 1), x = 0 to x =
1

=> 1^(n + 1)/(n + 1) - 0^(n + 1)/(n +
1)

=>
1/(n+1)

This proves
I(n+4)+I(n)=1/(n+1)

How does the Tom Robinson trial affect the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird?

It seems as if everyone in the whole county of Maycomb is
affected by Tom Robinson's trial, but, of course, those closest to him suffer the
most—specifically, Tom's family. His wife Helen has three kids who she has to raise all
by herself after Tom is killed trying to escape from prison. Fortunately, Link Deas
gives Helen work so she is able to provide something for her
children.

Since the story is written from Scout's
perspective, the reader sees mostly how the trial affects her and those around her. It's
interesting that Scout isn't more affected than Dill and Jem, because she doesn't cry
over the trial, the boys do. Dill doesn't even make it through Mr. Gilmer's
cross-examination of Tom before he's crying uncontrollably and Jem sends him out with
Scout. Dill protests as follows:

readability="11">

"'It was just him I couldn't stand,' Dill said.
. . . 'That old Mr. Gilmer doin' him thataway, talking so hateful to him. . . Mr. Finch
didn't act that way to Mayella and old man Ewell when he cross-examined them. The way
that man called him "boy" all the time an seered at him, an looked around at the jury
every time he answered'"
(198-199).

The above passage
shows Dill's first experience with real evil and the disrespectful behavior of someone
who is bent on doing evil. Mr. Gilmer probably guts Dill's hope for humanity for a
bit.

Next, Jem is affected by the trial for months after
Tom's conviction. In fact, Atticus and Jem have extensive conversations about what
happened during the trial and as a result thereof. Jem can't grasp how unfair the whole
trial was and Atticus explains as follows:

readability="9">

"'The older you grow the more of it you'll see.
The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color
of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury
box'" (220).

Finally, there's
Atticus. He knew he wouldn't win Tom's case on the first try. His greatest hopes were on
the appeal process and he told Tom to hold out for that. Atticus was a true defender of
not only Tom but what the trial could have represented for future generations if the
appeal would have overturned the prior conviction. As a result of his great efforts,
Atticus didn't take care of his mental and emotional health as he normally would have,
and Alexandra was the one to let Maudie and Scout know about
it:

"I can't
say I approve of everything he does, Maudie, but he's my brother, and I just want to
know when this will ever end. . . . It tears him to pieces. He doesn't show it much, but
it tears him to pieces. I've seen him when—what else do they want from him, Maudie, what
else?" (236).

Atticus wasn't
thinking of himself, but if he had won on the appeal, that would mean that the South
could change and actually give everyone a fair trial in the court system. So much
progress could have been made for the black community with a win. Poor Atticus had to
wait a long time for that.

Can you give me a summary of A Christmas Carol?its my h.h.w i need to complete it so guys pls help me with a gud summary....... thnxx in advance

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is
broken into five distinctive parts (or staves). The story begins on Christmas Eve with
the introduction of Ebenezer Scrooge, the quintessential miser and penny-pinching meany.
Scrooge unhappily agrees to allow his clerk a day off for Christmas, but the man must
come early to work on the following day. Scrooge refuses an invitation from his nephew
to celebrate the holiday, and then turns down a request for a donation for the needy.
Later that night, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of Marley, his old business partner.
Like Scrooge, Marley was a miser, and he tells Scrooge to mend his ways; three spirits
will visit Scrooge later that night, says Marley's
ghost.

During the night, Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of
Christmas Past. Scrooge revisits his past life as a young boy, a teenager, and as a
young adult; he relives the broken engagement by his ex-fiance, Belle, who tells him
that he has changed for the worse. The spirit then leads the shaken Scrooge back
home.

Scrooge awakens again, and this time he is escorted
by the Ghost of Christmas Present. The happy spirit leads Scrooge to the house of his
clerk, Bob Cratchit. It is a happy scene, and Scrooge learns facts about Bob's family
that he doesn't know. Bob's wife shows her hatred of Scrooge, but Bob toasts his boss in
the spirit of Christmas. The ghost shows Scrooge several other examples of the joyous
spirit of Christmas before leading him home.

Next, Scrooge
is awakened by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Dressed in black, this spirit is the
most feared by Scrooge. He leads Scrooge on a trip which shows the miser how much he was
hated and how he is not missed by anyone. He is taken to Bob Cratchit's house, where
Scrooge learns of the death of Bob's crippled son, Tiny Tim. Lastly, Scrooge visits his
own abandoned gravestone.

When Scrooge next awakens, it is
morning. Nothing appears to have changed. Incredibly, the ghosts' messages have had an
effect on Scrooge. Indeed, he wants to change his ways. He orders a large turkey to be
delivered to the Cratchit house, and tips the delivery boy handsomely. In the street, he
donates money to a charity and promises them more in the future. He visits his nephew's
house, enjoying the camaraderie around him. The next morning, when Bob appears late for
work, Scrooge pretends to be angry, preparing to fire him. Instead, he promises Bob a
raise. Later, Scrooge becomes like a second father to Tiny Tim, who does survive (thanks
to Scrooge's financial support). Scrooge's reformation is complete, and in his future
life, he will be remembered as a loving and charitable man.

Is this sentence correct?Many of the captives died by suffication, disease, and infection. or replacying "by" with "from"?

First of all, you spelled "suffication" incorrectly. It's
spelled "suffocation". "Of" is the appropriate preposition to use here. "By" has to do
with proximity, while "from" is most often used to indicate original locations or
starting points. One use for the preposition "of" is to indicate cause. In the case of
your sentence, the cause is death.

How do Willy's and Dave Singleton's deaths compare and contrast in Death of a Salesman?

Dave Singleman epitomised success in advertising for
Willy. He apparently lived the life that Willy hoped to emulate, and the description
which Willy gives of him is where the title from the play is
taken:

'when
he died - and by the way he died the death of a salesman, in his green velvet slippers
in the smoker of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, going in to
Boston'

There is a sad
contrast with Willy's death where the stage directions tell us of his dramatic
breakdown-

readability="10">

He turns around as if to find his way;
sounds, faces, voices seem to be swarming in upon him and he flicks at them,
crying,

Just
before he drives to his death.

Also, we are told that Dave
Singleman's funeral was huge,

readability="5">

'hundreds of salesman and buyers were at his
funeral'

whereas Linda asks
why there were so few people at Willy's.

We can imagine
that the character of 'Singleman' is unique and venerated in his profession, whereas
'Loman' is invisible, inferior and easily forgotten.

I'm writing an essay on "Is Atticus a good person?"and I don't know how to write the conclusion.To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Without knowing what you have already written about
Atticus Finch of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, it is
impossible to provide you with any specific instructions on what to put in your
conclusion.  However, as you probably know, the conclusion of any paragraph or essay is
essentially a "wrapping up" or summarizing of the main points of what has already been
written.  If you have written an essay, you want to restate your thesis, drawing to a
conclusive end the general statement and opinions upon which you have based your essay;
then, you want to add a "clincher," or a provocative thought that extends the general
statement.

For instance, since every essay is essentially
an argument for the writer's points, you may wish to begin your conclusion something
like this (I am guessing at what your three opinions may have been for the purpose of
example here):

Because Atticus Finch displays integrity in
every episode of Harper Lee's narrative, teaching his children ----------[insert a main
point that you have supported], providing an example of character for them throughout
the novel by --------------, displaying forthright conduct as he ------------------, he
is truly a worthy and admirable character.  Indeed, Atticus Finch serves well as a
prototype for any man.  [clincher]

In A Farewell to Arms, did "the nature of love" help Frederic Henry survive at the end of the novel?What I mean by the nature of love is his...

The novel's conclusion is truly heart wrenching. Frederic
waits and watches helplessly as Catherine suffers in childbirth, and then he experiences
the death of their baby and finally, Catherine's death. In his desperation and despair,
he prays, but his prayers do not save her. Frederic stays with Catherine until she dies,
and then demands time alone with her to say goodbye:

readability="7">

But after I had got them [two nurses] out and
shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying good-by to
a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in
the rain.

And with this
passage the novel ends. It could be interpreted that love enables Frederic to stay by
Catherine's side throughout her suffering and even after her death, even though doing so
causes him the most intense emotional and spiritual anguish. He "survives" this
experience in that he goes through it with her until it is
over.

Whether her love will help him survive the days to
come is a question left unanswered. The last we see of Frederic is his walking away in
the rain, alone. It is a picture of utter loneliness. The novel, however, has developed
themes of personal courage and endurance in the face of life's cruelty. We are left with
the feeling that Frederic will endure the pain of Catherine's death and will live with
her loss. Remembering the love they shared may bring him comfort, but it could also
remind him of all he has lost. Most likely, it will do both.

Find the limit of the function [(3x+2)/(2x+1)]^[(2x+1)/(x+4)]; x approaches to infinite.

Since the variable x is present at base, also at exponent,
we'll evaluate the limit of base and the limit of
exponent:

lim [(3x+2)/(2x+1)]^lim
[(2x+1)/(x+4)]

We'll start with the limit of base and we'll
factorize by x both numerator and denominator.

lim
[(3x+2)/(2x+1)] = lim x*(3 + 2/x)/x*(2 + 1/x)

We'll
simplify and we'll get:

lim (3 + 2/x)/(2 + 1/x) = [lim 3 +
lim (2/x)]/[lim 2 + lim (1/x)]

[lim 3 + lim (2/x)]/[lim 2 +
lim (1/x)] = (3 + 2/infinite)/(2 + 1/infinite) = (3+0)/(2+0) =
3/2

We'll evaluate the limit of
exponent:

lim [(2x+1)/(x+4)] = lim x*(2 + 1/x)/x*(1 +
4/x)

lim x*(2 + 1/x)/x*(1 + 4/x) = lim (2 + 1/x)/(1 +
4/x)

lim (2 + 1/x)/(1 + 4/x) = [lim 2 + lim (1/x)]/[lim 1 +
lim (4/x)]

lim (2 + 1/x)/(1 + 4/x) =
2

The limit of the given function
is:

lim [(3x+2)/(2x+1)]^lim [(2x+1)/(x+4)] =
(3/2)^2

lim [(3x+2)/(2x+1)]^lim
[(2x+1)/(x+4)] = 9/4

Please explain the theme of Warriors Don't Cry.

One theme of Warriors Don't Cry is
overcoming racism and social injustice. Beals was one of the Little Rock Nine, the first
black students to integrate all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in
1957. This is a first-person account of the trials and racism these black students
encountered during their year at Central. Beals relates not only her personal
experiences, but also those of her classmates, both black and white, during this time.
They are spat upon, hit, cursed at, chased, and threatened. Despite these injustices,
the black students remained, resisting the attempts of many, including officials, to
prevent them from attending school at Central.

Another
important theme would be using resistance to change social structure. The Little Rock
Nine did not cower; although only one of them graduated from the school--Ernest Green, a
senior--and only a few of them actually managed to last the entire year, their stance
and fight changed the face of Little Rock and many schools across the nation. They were
passive in their resistance; Grandma India suggests, for example, that rather than
respond with vitriol to the hateful actions of white students, teachers, and community
members, Melba should smile and politely and thank them. Beals notes that this shifts
the power into her hands, as the students in particular do not know how to respond to
this reaction.

In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, what is Jem's exact quotation when he is talking about Tom Robinson not losing the trial?Jem is sitting in...

In Harper Lee's To Kill a
Mockingbird, Jem follows the court trial closely. Having grown up in the home
of a lawyer, Jem and Scout understand the workings of the courtroom, and they have come
also to recognize how Atticus behaves and what his specific behaviors
signal.

The quote that I believe you refer to comes after
all the testimony has been given. Jem would know not to draw any conclusions until after
all the evidence was in, including the testimony of Heck Tate, Bob Ewell, and Mayella
Ewell. When this has been done, but before closing arguments, Dill feels unwell and
Scout goes outside with him so he can regain his
"equilibrium."

Upon their return, Scout demands an update
from Jem. When Scout punches Jem to get solid information, he
responds:

readability="10">

He's just gone over the evidence...and we're
gonna win, Scout. I don't see how we can't. He's been at it 'bout five minutes. He made
it as plain and easy as—well, as I'da explained it to you. You could've understood it,
even.

Jem's belief that Tom
will be acquitted stands in start contrast to what actually occurs. Tom is found guilty
and Scout describes how Jem reacts:

readability="8">

I shut my eyes. Judge Taylor was polling the
jury: 'Guilty...guilty...guilty...guilty...' I peeked at Jem: his hand were white from
gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each 'guilty' was a separate
stab between them.

This
signals a growing experience on Jem's part. He was, with a rational mind, sure of Tom's
innocence and his father's ability to free Tom. However, he had not counted on the
strength of bigotry on the part of most of the jurors, and not only
is he devastated, but he sees the world through eyes enlightened by the terrible
injustices adults visit upon each other.

What are the steps involved in processing business transactions? Give an example of a specific Business transaction including the propers steps.

Business transactions range from simple and basic, as in a
point of sale transaction, to highly complex, as in providing contractor services for
construction of a large building.  For complex business transactions the steps might
involve such things as letters of understanding, legal documents including contracts,
preliminary plans, finalized plans, permit applications, subcontractor agreements,
financing options, lines of credit with a bank, agreements for architects and project
managers, project schedules and timelines, agreements for construction delay penalties,
insurance coverage, and many, many more.

To answer your
question I will list the steps for a point of sale
transaction.

The old fashioned and simplest point of sale
transaction would be receiving cash for an item and writing a receipt for the
purchaser.

Today, the point of sale transaction could be in
a retail store or online.

Step 1 is the offer of the item. 
This could be done by displaying the item in a retail store, or advertising it
online.

Step 2 is the sale itself, which involves receiving
payment, documenting the sale and providing the item to the
customer.

Payment can be by cash, check, electronic funds
transfer (EFT), credit card or debit card.

For checks it is
necessary to ensure that the check is properly filled out, dated and signed.  For credit
cards it is important to note that the card has not expired, and that the bank approves
the charge when the card is swiped.

Software is an
important part of the modern point of sale transaction.  The seller should design her
software package to record items sold, amount paid, method of payment, date of sale,
and, importantly, demographic information on the buyer that will be useful in
advertising, inventory control and future sales.

In
addition to the sale of a products, point of sale transactions may also offer warranty
extensions and maintenance agreements.

If f'(x)=1/(7+cosx) what is f(x) ?

To determine the primitive of the given function f'(x),
we'll have to calculate the indefinite integral of
f'(x).

Int f'(x)dx = Int dx/(7+cos
x)

This is a trigonometric integral and we'll turn it into
an integral of a rational function. We'll replace tan (x/2) by the variable
t.

x/2 = arctan t

x = 2arctan
t

We'll differentiate both
sides:

dx = 2dt/(1 +
t^2)

We'll write cos x =
(1-t^2)/(1+t^2)

We'll re-write the integral in
t:

Int dx/(7 + cos x) = Int [2dt/(1 + t^2)]/[7 +
(1-t^2)/(1+t^2)]

Int [2dt/(1 + t^2)]/[(7 + 7t^2 +  1 -
t^2)/(1+t^2)]

We'll simplify by (1 +
t^2):

Int 2dt/(8 + 6t^2) = Int 2dt/2(4 +
3t^2)

Int 2dt/2(4 + 3t^2) = Int dt/3(4/3 +
t^2)

Int dt/3(4/3 + t^2) = (1/3)*Int dt/[(2/sqrt3)^2 +
t^2]

(1/3)*Int dt/[(2/sqrt3)^2 + t^2] =
(1/3)*sqrt3/2*arctan (tsqrt3/2) + C

But the variable t is:
t = tan x/2,

The primitive of the given
function is f(x) = Int dx/(cosx + 7) = (sqrt3/6)*arctan [(tan x/2)*sqrt3/2] +
C

What position of power was Hitler appointed to?

The answer to this is that Adolf Hitler was appointed to
be the Chancellor of Germany.  This happened in January of 1933.  Having been appointed
Chancellor, Hitler took more and more power for himself and for the Nazi Party,
eventually creating a system in which he had essentially unlimited power in
Germany.

Hitler was appointed because the leaders of the
government wanted to coopt the Nazi movment.  They believed that appointing Hitler as
chancellor would make his followers happy.  At the same time, they thought, they could
control Hitler so as to make sure that he did what they wanted.  In this way, they would
have gotten the benefits of having Hitler in power without having to allow him to truly
control things.  They were, of course, terribly mistaken.

What is a subsidiary in business, as in "Company A is a subsidiary of company B"?

All that this means is that one company is owned and
controlled by the other company.  If Company A is a subsidiary of Company B, then
Company B holds the majority of the voting stock in Company A and can control Company
A's operations.  As an example of this in the US, the Time-Warner corporation has
subsidiaries such as CNN and HBO.

It is very common for
companies to have subsidiaries or to be the subsidiary of another company.  One major
reason for this is so that the parent company can have many sources of income without
becoming too centralized.  The parent company can benefit financially but can still
allow the subsidiaries to have their own management teams that are expert in their
particular area.  Such subsidiaries are also easier to sell if that becomes
appropriate.

What is social inequality in gender?

Every society on Earth has some degree of inequality and
discrimination, in part because there is some human nature involved in how we treat and
perceive others.

But if you are looking for examples of
these inequalities, consider the following ways we find them in the
world:

1)  Race - America has
elected its first African-American President, a clear example of social progress.  At
the same time, a majority of Caucasian voters did not support Obama.  While certainly
not all of that opposition or even most of it could be based on race, certainly a degree
of it was, and racism in certain regions of the country, along with certain age groups
(over 65) it tends to be more common.

2) 
Gender - Women on average still earn only 77 cents for
every dollar earned by a male.  A small minority of elected officials are female, even
though they represent almost 53% of the overall population.  Women are equal in law, but
not yet in social practice.

3)
Education - Everyone has the right to attend school in the
United States, but that doesn't mean the schools, the teachers or the education is
equal.  Inner city schools are notoriously underfunded and staffed.  Schools with more
violence and crime could be said to be discriminating against those who are poor based
on where they are forced to live and attend school.

4) 
Class - Those who live in poverty are forced to live in
places they can afford, while the wealthy are able to live wherever they want.  They are
also able to afford more fire and police services, better schools and health care, while
those in poverty have all the rights of ordinary Americans, they face economic
discrimination in their daily lives.

What is the role of dharma in Mahabharata?

The concept of dharma, or duty, is a large issue in the
Mahabharata.  The characters in the work all face the issue of dharma in one way or
another and their response to it forms both the structure of the work and the lessons
taken from it.  Arjuna has one of these moments when he must face his kinsmen in
battle.  Seeing them line up against him, without any fear, and recognizing that his
dharma is to face and defeat them is a moment of truth for him and provides a similar
moment for the reader.  The issue here is whether it is better for him to capitulate and
shirk away from his dharma of fighting against evil or whether he must face the arduous
and difficult notion of confrontation.  Through Krishna's guidance, it is clear as to
what he must do.  His embrace of dharma, of his duty or responsibility as both a warrior
and a human being, and his faith in Krishna's promises that Arjuna's dharma is part of
something larger is what gives Arjuna the strength to carry out his responsibility.  It
is also a message for us, the reader, to recognize our own "Arjuna moments" and rise to
them, meeting our dharma and embracing it. 

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and "The Necklace" are written in third-person point of view. Why?I am comparing these two stories, and need to...

Both stories do indeed use third-person narration, but
both stories also allow the reader to see the thoughts and dreams of the main
characters.

In 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' we are
given details of his dull monotonous day as he runs errands for his wife. However, we
get absorbed by Walter's dreams and become involved in the excitement and drama of his
imagination.

In 'The Necklace' we are given insight into
Madame Loisel's poor past and we see her at the ball in a dream of her own, as she is
admired as much as the necklace she has borrowed for the occasion. Both are of course
fake: the necklace which forces Madame Loisel into greater provery is artificial as are
her pretensions to be part of a society to which she does not belong. The dream is
captivating but destructive.

Similarly, Waqlter's dreams
serve to show us his insecurities and weaknesses. In the real world he is a poor driver
- in his dreams an accomplished pilot. In his dreams Walter is a celebrated surgeon, in
reality his wife nags about his health-

readability="6">

She looked at him. "I'm going to take your
temperature when I get you home," she
said.

Find three reasons to blame all three characters in the "The Necklace"?

I like this assignment because there is enough blame to go
around for all of the main characters in "The Necklace." Madame Loisel's incredible
self-centeredness, vanity and self-imposed unhappiness filled her with the unquenchable
desire to make the ball the greatest evening of her life. Had she been happy just
receiving the invitation and attending without all of the added luxuries, her life would
not have turned out so badly afterward. Her husband's refusal to just say "no" to his
wife's demands would have shown that he had a backbone and who wore the pants in the
family. Again, their resulting financial problems would never have occurred had he just
put his foot down. Madame Loisel deserves some of the blame as well, since she should
have told Mathilde that the jewels were not actually diamonds instead of having her
friend think that they were of great value. The Loisels could easily have repaid her for
the "paste" instead of working for years to pay for the duplicated diamonds that they
returned to her.

Please explain the Byzantium era.

Upon reuniting of the Roman empire by Constantine the
Great, he looked for a place that could be truly a center for a new Roman Empire that
was centered on the Christian faith.  The reason that he chose the site of Byzantium was
two fold.  First, it was a logical link to the eastern parts of the empire and second it
would provide a formidable defense to any aggression from the Persians in the
east.

The transformation of the Roman empire into that of
the Byzantine empire was slow and did not have any real dividers in time.  The
"Byzantines" really considered themselves "Romans" and it was not until the divisions
that occurred between the papacy and the eastern orthodox church was there any
differentiation between the two.  Remember that the Ostrogothic and Visigothic conquests
within the western hemisphere of the empire made many changes in values, disciplines and
beliefs. The word "Byzantine" was not used until well in the 15th century to describe
the eastern part of the Roman empire.  However, there were many conflicts between the
eastern and western parts of the empire, mostly due to religious differences and
monetary jealousy.

The beginning of the "Byzantine Empire"
was of course with the establishment of Constantinople in 330.  Constantine the Great
wanted this city to be built from scratch as the center of the Christian world.  He and
his following emperors made Constantinople into one of the most elaborate and civilized
cities in the world.  The wealth that was displayed was incredible.  Until the Fourth
Crusade, Constantinople enjoyed 874 years of growth and stability.  Few cities in
history have lasted as long without being overrun by an invading
army.

The monetary history was probably the most important
aspect of the success of the empire.  Constantine the Great introduced several monetary
reforms with one of them being the creation of the gold Solidus at 72 to the Roman
pound.  This standard lasted throughout the history with only periodic debasement in
economically stressed parts of the empire or during periods of extremely weak
leadership. If anything can be learned from the Eastern Roman Empire is that monetary
stability and strength lead to strength within a civilization.

How does radiometric dating provide evidence for evolution?

One major opposing viewpoint to the theory of evolution is
the age of the planet Earth. According to most religious theories, the Earth is
between four and ten thousand years old, created by an
intelligent designer who also created the plant and animal life, fully formed. For a
long time, there was no way to test the age of the Earth, as human records only go back
to a certain point, and there is no definitive record otherwise. However, the science of
radiometric dating created a scientific method of measuring
the age of non-organic materials. Radioactive materials have a defined half-life, the
amount of time it takes for that material to degrade by one-half; measuring the levels
of radioactivity in rocks can show the likely age of that rock, and the age of the
sedimentary layer that the rock is inside. Using this method, the age of the planet
Earth has been estimated at around 4.6 billion years old,
hypothetically more than enough time for single-cell organisms to evolve their
biological functions, join into more complex organisms, and eventually give rise to
larger animals. This age dating is supported by fossil records which are dated older
than 10,000 years.

From what did Americans take comfort after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001?A) the heroism of rescue workers and hijacked airplane...

Normally, I would argue that a textbook or a course
syllabus would be best in answering a multiple choice question like this.  Yet, I will
go out on a limb and argue that A could be the only
possible answer.  It should be noted that I think it was difficult to find anything that
Americans were able to take a real comfort from on that sad day, but A would be the
closest one.  Rudy Giuliani was the mayor on September 11, so B is eliminated.  The
apprehension of "the terrorist" was anything but quick.  Zaccarias Moussaui's
apprehension did not bring any closure because he was not "the terrorist" responsible. 
In fact, one could argue that the recent killing of Osama Bin Laden a couple of weeks
ago would be the closest element to "apprehending" the "terrorist responsible" because
the rest of the terrorists died on the planes.  President Clinton was not in office at
the time, which makes D a non option.  I think that A would have to be the most logical
choice of the four.

Discuss the target audience for Tears of a Tiger by Sharon M. Draper.

Great praise for this book emanates from many a ninth
grader who has read it because it touches them emotionally as they tend to identify with
characters in the novel..  Draper's Tears of a Tiger is the first
book of the powerful Hazelwood High trilogy.  It is the poignant story of Andy Jackson
who crashes the car he drives after he has been drinking; unfortunately, in this crash,
his best friend Robbie, and captain of the basketball team,
dies.

The realism of this accident and the accompanying
guilt that Andy feels makes it an interesting narrative for teens.  In addition, it is
a worthwhile book for ninth-graders to read as they think about earning their drivers'
licenses.  It is also effective as a reminder of the potential for injury when teens
drink and drive as many high schools have lost members of the graduating clash shortly
before the ceremony, or shortly thereafter. 

In Lord of the Flies, how does Ralph react to hearing about the pig hunt in chapter 4?

Understandably, Ralph is really annoyed to find out that
all the boys have been hunting pigs when they should have been looking after the fire
and in fact let it go out at a crucial time when a ship was passing that could have
saved the boys. Even Jack's joyous and frenzied declaration that he has killed a pig and
enjoyed it immensely is dampened with this realisation. Ralph is therefore incredibly
frustrated and annoyed that he, as chief of the boys, gave an order that was not
obeyed:

You
and your blood, Jack Merridew! You and your hunting! We might have gone home... I was
chief, and you were going to do what I said. You talk. But you can't even build
huts--then you go off hunting and let out the
fire-

It is interesting how
this confrontation between Jack and Ralph actually presents us with a confrontation
between two different points of view, between savagery and rational thought, or, in the
words of Golding, between the "brilliant world of hunting, tactics, fierce exhilaration,
skill" and then the world of "longing and baffled common-sense." This is a divide that
only is heightened as the novel goes on and Ralph tries desperately to hang on to his
reason and not to give in to his primal hunting instincts.

How do Scout and Jem from To Kill a Mockingbird symbolize a mockingbird?

The mockingbird is a symbol of innocence in the novel:
Atticus and Miss Maudie explain that the birds don't harm gardens or "nest in
corncribs;" they only sing and make people happy. Like a mockingbird, children are
generally a joy for most people, free from committing the sins that come with growing
up. Atticus' warning to Jem about shooting a mockingbird is not heeded by all people,
and some shoot them for fun; Bob Ewell's attempt to harm Jem and Scout is a parallel to
such actions. The innocence of Jem and Scout remains throughout the story, though
they witness actions that are far from innocent: The Ewells accuse an innocent man of
terrible crimes; the jury condemns Tom Robinson in spite of evidence to the contrary;
racism is seen among churchgoers and teachers; and they are attacked by a man who seeks
revenge on a man by killing his children. Yet in the end, the children survive, and
their neighbors will continue to enjoy them for the remainder of their days of
innocence.
