- 791: Hollywood and Computer Animation
- ... much later in 1982 with the release of Star-Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. That movie contained a monumental sixty seconds of the most exciting full-color computer graphics yet seen. Called the "Genesis Effect," the sequence starts out with a view of a dead planet hanging lifeless in space. The camera follows a missiles trail into the planet that is hit with the Genesis Torpedo. Flames arc outwards and ... be realistically integrated with live action footage and characters. This was the watery pseudopod that snaked its way into the underwater research lab to get a closer look at its human inhabitants. In this stunning effect, ILM overcame two very difficult problems: producing a soft-edged, bulgy, and irregular shaped object, and convincingly anchoring that object in a live-action sequence. Just as the 1982 Genesis sequence served as a wake ...
- 792: The Color Purple - Compared To Macbeth
- ... daughter. With this lack of protection, Celie did not have any female role models when she was growing up. Therefore, Celie was not able to become knowledgeable about life and have good female company. Another effect this flaw had on the protagonist was that she had no one to teach her how to understand herself. Celie was unable to realize all of the wonderful qualities of being and becoming a woman ... is rarely achieved may be unfortunate for humans, but results in a rich field of human drama that literature such as Shakespeare's Macbeth and Alison Walker's The Color Purple draw upon to exceptional effect.
- 793: The Color Purple - Childhood
- ... Mrs. Compson for Caddy? Unconditional love does not touch Mrs. Compson; her nature focuses on status and materialistic qualities. Unconditional love is just the opposite. Caddy's psychological neglect from her parents has a profound effect on her. As she grows older, she observes her father's cynicism and her mother's whining. Caddy feels that she must reject the fake Compson world; she would willingly agree to have incest or ... will dominate her, because her parents never teach her self-esteem and confidence. She spends half her life fearing men, because of her stepfather's sexual abuse. Not only does the abuse have a vast effect on how she lets men mistreat her, but how it contributes to her not being unable to enjoy sex with men, instead turning to Shug. Only a woman can make her "button rise" or her ...
- 794: Lord of the Flies - A Symbolic Interpretation
- ... Golding uses characters symbolically; the way he uses objects symbolically; and the organization and inter-relationships of these symbols in terms of the theme. The use of characters in the symbolic sence has a big effect on the novel. Each of the main characters symbolizes a different aspect of society. As the novel goes on, the mind set of this particular society goes from the belief in civilization to complete savagery ... in this book. All they represent is mindless people who will go along with what ever people tell them to do. The use of all of these characters and their symbolic meanings has a big effect on the theme of this book. Golding uses objects symbolically as well. The conch was a symbol of democracy. Anyone who had the conch was allowed to speak regardless of his status in the group ...
- 795: Inept And Unsuccessful. How
- ... anti-Catholic legislation better known as the 'May Laws', which included state control of the Church and clerical appointments, with civil marriages made compulsory; another attack on the Church. Yet the campaign had the opposite effect, strengthening Catholic morale, so that in the 1874 election their seat tally rose. Pope Pius IX fought Bismarck, yet by the time of his passing; the German Chancellor had realised that it was an impossible ... However in October 1878, Bismarck's new anti-Socialist bill was presented to the Reichstag with relative success. The SDP was deemed illegal, and all clubs and meetings banned. Yet the bill had the same effect on socialists that the 'May Laws' had on Catholics: it united them, and their support in their support in the country increased. Socialists were imprisoned, yet the SDP vote nearly doubled up to 1887, despite ...
- 796: The Pardoner's Prologue and Tale
- ... The strongest irony comes in lines (Riverside) 427-31 when he explains that avarice (greed) is his own vice and at the same time (line 425 'therefore') the vice he preaches against with such powerful effect that he brings people to repent of their avarice sincerely (but not himself, he is glad to note). His only concern is that, realizing their sinfulness, they give him money to benefit from his pardons ... turns triumphantly to the Pilgrims: "And lo, sires, thus I preach." This ought to be the end, only he cannot stop there. He may be thought to see that his Tale has had its usual effect, that the Pilgrims too are pondering deeply on their own forms of greed. He sees an occasion to make some extra money and (being greedy) cannot resist it. He becomes the eager salesman and forgets ...
- 797: Nuclear Fusion
- ... equals or exceeds the energy being lost. In order to achieve ignition, plasma must be combined and heated. Obviously, a plasma at millions of degrees is not comparable with an ordinary confining wall, but the effect of this incompatibility is not the destruction of the wall as might be expected. I have found that if one uses Corning Ware in a microwave set on high, plasma can take place quite safely ... a enclosed plasma environment? Is this some kind of wacky scientist joke or something? Anyway, the science geeks at M.I.T supposedly did produce this kind of fusion. The goal on fusion is in effect, to produce and hold a small star. It is a daunting and tedious research which is considered to be of the most advanced in the world. Creating a small dwarf star in a man-made ...
- 798: Nuclear Power: Cons
- ... however the aftereffects of already used materials are much more deadly then the process of fission itself. There are many issues brought to life by nuclear fission reactors, probably the most important is its detrimental effect on humans, plants and animals.

Rather it is a slow release of poisonous radioactive waste into the environment over periods up to 7 billion years. In small quantities, the body ...
- 799: How Does H.G. Wells Create Tension In: The Red Room
- ... the end in particular had that undefinable quality of presence,".…."that comes so easily in silence and solitude." Throughout the story Wells gives the reader many reasons to keep them reading the story and in effect to keep them guessing. Wells does this by adding in little pieces of information that will be explained later on in the story, in my experience when an author does this it is very effective ... one made by the alcove and he promptly puts a candle there to light it. Many readers will associate the darkness with fear and this is why Wells uses dim light to create an eerie effect and more shadows that something supernatural could hide. "Merely dim"… "a little tongue of light" The tension mounts as the candles that the narrator placed around the room start to go out. The way the ...
- 800: The Cause and Effects of Acid Mine Drainage
- ... water and carbon dioxide. Because of this water looses its ability to buffer the pH of the water and plants in and around the water that use the bicarbonate in the process of photosynthesis. Another effect of low pH is the increase in the rate of the decomposition of clay minerals and carbonates, releasing toxic metals such as aluminum and silica. Ironically however, Aluminum silicates can aid in the "buffering" of ... be trapped by a filter. The particulate fraction of the metal includes solid minerals, crystals, and metals that set up into organisms. The presence of heavy metals in the aquatic environment can have a serious effect on the plants and animals in an ecosystem. Plants uptake the metals and because plants are at the bottom of the food chain, these metals are passed on to animals. The animals become contaminated with ...
