Discuss the poem "To his Love" by Ivor Gurney.

Among the World War I poets, Ivor Gurney’s life was
especially sad.  He enlisted in the military in 1915, sustained wounds, was gassed, and
then was discharged from the service. However, the war never left him. He was tormented
with the thought that it was still going on until his death. After the war, Gurney spent
the rest of his life in asylums. 

Gurney’s poem “To His
Love” starts as a traditional elegy lamenting the death of a fallen comrade and apparent
friend. It takes the form of a monologue. 

The poet speaks
to the fiancé or girlfriend of a dead soldier.  He mourns his loss and regrets that
neither he nor the girl will ever have the pleasure of the dead soldier’s company
again. 

The poem takes the form of four stanzas with five
lines each. Each stanza ends with rhyming couplet.  His language is modern and
colloquial.

1st Stanza

The
poet begins with a blunt, sad statement of loss.  He explains that a man has died who
was loved.  The plans that they [the dead, the lover, and the speaker] made are now
worthless.  They will no longer meander through the hills of England where the sheep
graze quietly and pay no attention to anything. Nature and the countryside provide
consoling memories and inspiration, when contrasted to the horrors of
war.

He’s
gone, and all our plans
Are useless indeed.
We’ll walk no more on
Cotswolds

2nd
Stanza

His body was once so agile, fast, and full of life.
 Now he is not the same as he was  when they were sailing in the boat on an English
river,  The poet makes a contrast between the peaceful beautiful scene and the horror of
what has happened to the soldier.

3rd
Stanza

The lover would not know him now.  He died a hero’s
death with nobility. Cover him with  purple violets to show the pride that his love ones
will feel for him. The speaker seems not to want to continue the description of the body
when he is talking to the lover.   

4th
Stanza

The readers are lulled into thinking that “Cover
him, cover him soon” indicates the honorable burial of a fallen soldier.  Instead, the
body is hardly recognizable.  In fact, the poet describes it as “red, wet thing.”   The
narrator hopes that he will someday be able to forget the vision of the shredded, bloody
body. Repression of the memory is the hope of the narrator when he states “…I must
somehow forget.”

Lady Macbeth's fainting spell, like everything else she has done so far, has a purpose. What message does she want her fainting spell to convey?

Lady Macbeth's fainting spell intended to make the men
think that she was so upset by the news of Duncan's death, that it caused her to faint. 
She wants to be seen as typical woman would have been viewed - delicate and unable to
tolerate harsh, shocking news.  She also wants to be seen as ignorant of any information
regarding the death of King Duncan.  She has to present the appearance of announcement
of his death as such a severe shock to her that she could not maintain consciousness. 
She does not want anyone to suspect her or her husband of the murder.  Ironically, Lady
Macbeth was more delicate than she thought she was.  She invokes the powers of
darknessin Act 1 and asks that they remove from her any feminine weaknesses that might
prevent her from doing what needed to be done - kill Duncan - to get the crown for her
husband.  But by the beginning of Act 5, Lady Macbeth has gone mad with guilt.  She
walks around trying to wash imaginary blood from her hands, mumbling about the evil
deeds done by her and her husband, and demanding always that a lighted candle be nearby
to dispel the darkness.

In Julius Caesar, by Shakespeare, Marcus Brutus agrees to join in the plan to kill Caesar under what condition?A) That they kill Mark Antony B)...

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar,
Cassius approaches Brutus to see how Brutus feels about Caesar. Brutus loves Rome, but
he fears Julius Caesar, especially when he learns that Antony has tried several times to
crown Caesar as one would a king, though Caesar has
refused.

Cassius does not love Rome,
but he does hate Caesar. He wants him dead because Caesar has power
that Cassius feels Caesar lords over him. Cassius recalls the time, to Brutus, when
Caesar and Cassius were swimming across rough water and Caesar started to sink, and he
called for Cassius' help. Cassius saved Caesar, but Cassius says Caesar has forgotten
what Cassius did for him, and Cassius must bow like every other lowly person Caesar
passes. So Cassius wants Caesar dead, and he recruits other men as
well.

Brutus is wrong to kill Caesar, but his motivation is
honorable: all for the good of Rome. So when one of Cassius' co-conspirators suggests
that they kill Antony as well, Brutus disagrees. He feels Caesar is a threat, but not
Antony. He urges everyone to be as "civilized" in this murder as possible (something of
an awkward sentiment in the face of murder).

So "C" is the
answer you want.

What is the significance of the Force Bill?

The significance of the Force Bill is that it overrode
South Carolina's effort to nullify federal laws during the Nullification Crisis.  It was
the first law to explicitly deny that states had the right to secede as
well.

During the Nullification Crisis, South Carolina
claimed it had the right to ignore any federal laws that it thought were
unconstitutional.  By doing this, it was saying that the states had the right to
determine what federal laws they would or would not obey.  Pres. Andrew Jackson then
pushed for the Force Bill.  He believed that the Constitution would be worthless if
states had the right to nullify laws and/or to secede.

This
crisis was one of the first major incidents that worked to push the North and South
apart.

Prove that cos x+sinx /cosx-sinx equal to 1+sin2x/cos2x

The expression you have provided is true because sin 2x =
2*sin x*cos x and cos 2x = (cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2

Let start
with (cos x + sin x)/(cos x - sin x)

multiply the numerator
and denominator by (cos x + sin x)

=> (cos x + sin
x)(cos x + sin x)/(cos x - sin x)(cos x + sin x)

=>
(cos x + sin x)^2/(cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2

=> [(cos
x)^2 + 2*sin x*cos x + (sin x)^2]/cos 2x

=> (1 + sin
2x)/cos 2x

This proves that (cos x + sin
x)/(cos x - sin x) = (1 + sin 2x)/cos 2x

What are some possible symbols and the meaning for the title in "A Rose for Emily"?

The unseen rose is one of the dominant symbols of "A Rose
for Emily"--hence the use of the word in the title. It is a symbol of love, beauty and
romance, and represents Emily herself: a fading flower of days gone by. The color of
rose also appears in the final chapter upon the discovery of the valance curtains'
"faded rose colour;" the rose also represents death--the color of blood--as in the
"blood-kin" relatives that appear just before Homer's
disappearance.

Other examples of symbols found in the
story:

• Miss Emily's house serves as a symbol of
  the town's past glories as well as its present state of decay.
  


• Miss Emily's hair serves as a symbol of the passage of
  time, from its girlish shortness, cut following the death of her father, to the
  iron-gray strand that becomes so important in the final
  chapter. 

What is cultural geography? is it the same thing as culture?I have to write a paper on the physical and cultural geography of Belize and I'm not...

Cultural geography is, of course, about culture, but it is
specifically about how culture is distributed across
space.

For example, cultural geography can be concerned
with the issue of how various aspects of culture have diffused across space.  An example
of this might be the study of how European influences have diffused from cities into the
countryside in a place like Belize that was
colonized.

Cultural geography is also concerned with things
like the distribution of ethnic groups and ethnic identity.  Cultural geographers of a
place like Belize might look at the distribution of the various ethnic groups in the
country.  They might also want to look at how the presence of people like Indians,
Chinese and Mennonites has impacted the culture of the regions where these various
groups live.

In short, cultural geography does study
culture, but it has a geographical component.  It is most interested in the way that
various cultural traits are distributed over the space of the
country.
