- 351: The Adventures Of Huckleberry
- ... provoking similes Huck's use of action words contribute greatly to the descriptiveness of his account of the summer storm. These words add to the thrust and movement of his description. "Directly it begun to rain...rained like all fury...never see the wind blow so" (43). "...and the rain would thrash along by so thick....blast of wind.." (43+44). These descriptions keep the description moving and keeps the interest of the reader. They invoke common experiences that everyone has experienced. After reading these ... details. Some of the specific details include use of color and descriptions of the environment. Vivid descriptions such as, "It would get so dark that it looked all blue-black outside, and lovely; and the rain would thrash along by so thick that the trees off a little ways looked dim and spider-webby; and here would come a blast of wind that would bend the trees down and turn ...
- 352: An Analysis Of Heart Of Darkne
- ... engraving of Stanley in a military uniform on a boat in a dense jungle. The background of the jungle is black, and the book is green. A lot of this imagery came from the tropical rain forest. Aside from "black wool" and "black hens," Conrad fills the pages of Heart of Darkness with descriptions of slithering, shining blackness. I went through at one point and circled every reference to the colors ... 105.) The supposed purpose of the Europeans traveling into Africa was to civilize the natives. Instead they colonized on the native's land and corrupted the natives. "Africans bound with thongs that contracted in the rain and cut to the bone, had their swollen hands beaten with rifle butts until they fell off. Chained slaves were forced to drink the white man's defecation, hands and feet were chopped off for ... horror of Kurtz's words: the chain gangs, the grove of death, the payment in brass rods, the cannibalism and the human skulls on the fence posts. Africans bound with thongs that contracted in the rain and cut to the bone, had their swollen hands beaten with rifle butts until they fell off. Chained slaves were forced to drink the white man's defecation, hands and feet were chopped off ...
- 353: Gallium
- ... 1875 Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovers gallium. Its properties closely match those predicted by Mendelev. Gallium, atomic number 31, is very similar to aluminum in its chemical properties. It does not dissolve in nitric acid because of the protective film of gallium oxide that is formed over the surface by the action of the acid. Gallium does however dissolve in other acids, and alkalies. Gallium was discovered (1875) by Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran, who observed its principal spectral lines while examining material seperated from zinc blende. Soon after he ... isotopes: gallium-69 ( 60.4 percent ) and gallium-71 (39.6 percent ). Somewhat similar to aluminum chemically, gallium slowly oxidizes in moist air until a protective film forms, and it becomes passive in cold nitric acid. Gallium has been considered as a possible heat-exchange medium in nuclear reactors, although it has a high neutron cross section. Radioactive gallium-72 shows some promise in the study of bone cancer; a ...
- 354: Do As To Others
- Do As To Others The wind gussied against his face and the rain in little bullets pelted his coat as Jack made his way to his Jeep. It is going to be a long night, he thought, as he groped through the darkness in search of his car ... Shit!. I don't have time for a pathetic, dead animal! Jack slowed and pulled the car to a halt on the gravel. Turning the engine off, he sat listening to the patter of the rain in a state of total disbelief. Glancing at the dull glow of the clock which read 10:45 and leaving the headlights and wipers on, he reluctantly opened the door and got out of the ... see through the dark. There, up ahead, he saw the on-coming headlights. The lights gradually became more intense, and he could dimly hear the humming of the engine through the constant static of the rain. Thank God, someone will find me. Someone will help me. Jack's sense of relief quickly disappeared. As he lay there one question drummed in his head. Lapsing into unconsciousness, he could only wonder, ...
- 355: Iron
- ... fumes to be released into the environment. In the smelting process to make steel, acidic clouds are formed from the burning of coal. In the U.S., scrubbers are required in smoke stacks to prevent acid rain. Through the years, iron and steel have been used to build our country and provide employment. It's hard to imagine what life would be like if man had not learned how to mine and ...
- 356: Basic Discription Of Microbiology
- ... 1979), are a particular type of microbes that are very tiny in design, and they are classified as living cells. Viruses, like bacteria, are classified as prokaryotes. Viruss conceits of a core of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein shell. Some viruses have an outer lipid capsule. Viruses can cause disease and change the genetic make-up of a cell. They do this by injecting its DNA ... Some of them are oral thrush, yeast vaginitis, and ringworm. They also describe the Piron, (proteinaceaus infectious particle) as an infectious particle that is the cause of slow growing diseases. A Piron contains no nucleic acid, but it is made up of a protein called PrP. Part Two Eglenkirk & Burton (1979) describe indigenous microflora as microbes (bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses) that are found normally living on the skin or in ... viruses are very small and simple in structure. Viruses are distinguished from living cells because five properties. (1) They possess either DNA or RNA, never both; (2) their replication is directed by the viral nucleic acid within a host cell; (3) they do not divide by binary fission or mitosis; (4) they lack the genes and enzymes necessary for energy production; and (5) they depend on the ribosomes, enzymes ...
- 357: Nuclear Power Plant
- ... are the number of plants that we need, it also pollutes the air by the carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides that it releases into the air. In the air the nitrogen oxide turns into nitric acid, wich comes down to the ground with rain. Technological facts that concerned us: The reason we didnt choose solar power is because of the hard storing of the energy, and it cannot store energy for darker times, the efficiency rate of the plant ...
- 358: Symbolism In The Crysanthemums
- ... more by writing, "it was a time of quiet and waiting. The air was cold and tender. A light wind blew up from the southwest so that the farmers were mildly hopeful of a good rain before long; but fog and rain do not go together."(Steinback 267) From this line much may be derived about Elisa Smith's character. The quiet waiting symbolizes how Elisa is silently waiting for something to happen. Elisa can not say ... it would be absurd for her to go with him. However, after she grows up at the end of the story she expresses her interest to go with him. The symbol of the possibly of rain shows how Elisa anticipates that something interesting in her life may happen, but deep down she knows that there is a very low probability that anything would actually happen. Elisa's bath is another ...
- 359: Possibility of Terraforming One of Earth's Neighboring Planets
- ... is possible because it adds intention and direction to a capability that already exists. Humans alter the environment with the inadvertent and arbitrary use and abuse of chemicals resulting in global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, and the extinction of countless hundreds of species. Terraforming proposes a productive rather than a destructive focus of technology in order to further science and man's understanding of it. I will now examine the ...
- 360: Nigeria and Ogoni's Campaign
- ... destroyed wildlife, plant life, poisoned the atmosphere and therefore the inhabitants in the surrounding areas and made the residents half-deaf and prone to respiratory diseases. Whenever it rains in Ogoni, all that falls is acid rain, which further poisons the water and essentially the agricultural land. Shell's high pressure pipelines pass above ground villages and criss-cross over land that was once used for agricultural purposes, rendering it economically useless ...
