- 1061: The Women Of Poe
- ... the burial vault. When Madeline returns and bears her brother "to the floor a corpse" (Poe 191), the house, emblematic of the psyche of Roderick, collapses into the dark tarn. The conclusions to the two stories point to the inseparable wills of the lovers to be rejoined, even if one of them must emerge from the grave to do accomplish the reunion. How similar, too, are the occurrences in "Berenice," a ... loses himself in the reveries of terror, obsessed with the lady's teeth, just as the narrator of "Ligeia" loses himself in contemplation of his lost love as he watches over Rowena's corpse. Both stories climax in horror, and within the dreamscape of the narrators. It is herein that Poe amazes with his insight into madness of psyche, and of the crimes wrought from that madness. Richard Wilbur's observations already cited apply well to "Ligeia" and to "Berenice," as the narrators of both stories retreat from the realities of the flesh into self-induced reveries, but at a very dear cost to the psyche. Egaeus reports that his feelings for Berenice were of the mind, not the heart, ...
- 1062: Two Works By Anton Chekhov
- ... is happy to leave the rural estate. The characters, who are happy to leave, feel that way because they have a completely different life ahead of them. Another commonality is that the setting in both stories is constant. In The Cherry Orchard, the setting is always Madame Ranevskaya’s estate. Likewise, in “A Visit to Friends” the setting is always the Losev estate. In both “A Visit to Friends” and The ... family. The relationships between all of the members of the families are very complex, especially in The Cherry Orchard. The conflict facing each family is the selling of their homes due to bankruptcy. In both stories they look to a rich friend to bail them out. Both families also want this friend to marry one of their members. In “A Visit to Friends” Podgorin is asked to marry Nadezhda and in The Cherry Orchard Lopakhin is asked to marry Varya. Chekhov is able to share his view on family life through both stories. Chekhov’s use of nature is evident in both “A Visit to Friends” and The Cherry Orchard. In The Cherry Orchard, the main focus of the play is the conflict over what to do ...
- 1063: Analysis -Compare And Contrast
- ... poor pretty woman who thought she deserved a better life than one that she already had. The main character in this story is a woman named Louis, the daughter of simple working class man. Both stories include a sub theme of a hope for a better life, in which all men were created equal and all the ugly injustices in the world would cease to exist. But the cold hard fact ... can't, because we don't know how, and eventually the truth will show that is we don't what the truth really is. Using the slippery slope logic one can conclude that the two stories are more similar than they are different but because the assignment at hand requires for me to compare and contrast in an illustrative manner then I guess I should start. In the story the Star ... author of the star was clearly American. The main focus of the story is based on the importance of having money while the star is about the survival of the fittest. The similarities in both stories include that both deal with theme of hope. One is more graphic in the account of survival as portrayed in the star but the details in how the girl had to work hard in ...
- 1064: Gary Soto's Like Mexicans: Personal Experiences
- ... to unfair and illegal wages and work conditions. However irrelevant this all may sound, facing similar hardships or obstacles will often create a sense of unity among those who are affected by such conditions. In short, I feel that not only do Gary Soto and I share a common ethnic origin, but all that comes with our origin, be it pride, shame, or ideology. "Like Mexicans" is a short story in which Gary Soto is constantly being reminded that he should marry his own kind. His own kind being one of Mexican descent, and of poverty and refraining from others, especially “Okies” as his ... easier than trying to recognize each and every different ethnic group that exist on the face of the earth, but it is our differences that often make us so unique. One particular part in this short story that really disturbed me, was the fact that Gary and his friend Scott at a young age could make the distinction among their different ethnic groups. By this I mean that there was ...
- 1065: The Theater of Dionysus
- ... honor. Spectators would gather in a circle to watch these dancers; that was the way that the theater took its circular shape. When the theater was built, the performers only sang and danced about the stories of Dionysus's life, then later the stories of other gods and heroes. The stories were told in the form of a song, chanted at first by all who took place, then later by a chorus of about fifty performers. During the intervals of a song, the leader would ...
- 1066: How to Study
- ... the same place every time, your mind will automatically kick into gear when you sit in that place. Studying in one area also gives you a permanant place to keep all your supplies. 5.Have short but often study periods. Having four short study pperiods a week are more effective than two long study periods because : (1) frequent repetition is the key to building your memory and, (2) long breaks between study periods may help you forget what ... a web page near you . . .

- 1067: Effects Of Excessive Pesticide
- ... been an important component of agriculture, leading to the development and employment of measures that can limit damage, such as synthetic chemicals. Easily stored for long periods in a compact form, easily applied at very short notice (provided the machinery is available and the weather conditions are suitable), they are fast-acting and efficient. They can also be toxic, and the farmer must use pesticides wisely to make sure that they ... birth defects. ? Chronic effects are also limited to high doses. ? Based on the extensive toxicology, it is highly improbable that 2,4-D causes cancer. ? 2,4-D has low potential to cause neurotoxicity in short and long term exposures. ? 2,4-D does not cause genetic damage. Although the publications of many anti-pesticide advocacy groups continue to show 2,4-D to be a mutagen, there are now more ... 25 recent, state-of-the-art EPA/GLP mutagenicity studies on 2,4-D in the toxicology data package, none of which show any evidence of mutagenicity. ? Environmental Fate 2,4-D has a relatively short half-life and is rather immobile in the soil. In 35 recent studies across the U.S., the average lowest depth detected ranged from 6 to 12 inches in soils of the southern United ...
- 1068: Proportions of Numbers and Magnitudes
- ... whole, therefore; numbers can be more accurately compared because there is a standard unit representing one of something. Numbers allow for measurement and degrees of ordinal position through which one can better compare quantity. In short, magnitudes tell you how much there is, and numbers tell you how many there are. This is cause for differences in comparison among them. Euclid's definition five in Book Five of the Elements states ... the fourth, when, if any equimultiples whatever be taken of the first and third, and any equimultiples whatever of the second and fourth, the former equimultiples alike exceed, are alike equal to, or alike fall short of, the latter equimultiples respectively taken in corresponding order." From this it follows that magnitudes in the same ratio are proportional. Thus, we can use the following algebraic proportion to represent definition 5.5: (m ... n)d. However, it is necessary to be more specific because of the way in which the definition was worded with the phrase "the former equimultiples alike exceed, are alike equal to, or alike fall short of….". Thus, if we take any four magnitudes a, b, c, d, it is defined that if equimultiple m is taken of a and c, and equimultiple n is taken of c and d, ...
- 1069: The Symbolism of Religion and Comparison
- ... was in complete shock and could not believe such a sinner got off with such an easy penance, but Jackie did and also made good friends with the priest. Religion was very important in both stories. "First Confession" deals with being in church and telling sins to a priest which is what most Catholics practice in a catholic church. In "Conversion of the Jews" the children went to Hebrew School which was a way for the Jews to practice their religion. The two stories are different in religion ways but they are the same for the ways they preach and how it is taught. In comparing the two boys, I would have to say that they are very similar ... guilty conscience and was finally able to feel good about himself. Not only was their conscience that made them similar, but also their identity. Ozzie and Jackie both found who they were in the two stories. Ozzie always believed he was just a trouble maker because that is what he always heard, but I knew he really was not a trouble maker. Ozzie did what he did for a purpose ...
- 1070: The Masculine Dismissal of a Women's Quest in The Odyssey, A Room Of One's Own, and Northanger Abbey
- ... thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humor, are conveyed to the world in the best chosen language" (Northanger Abbey 502). So although the preceding stories may be a battlecry, there is a great deal of disguised autobiography of the author's own experiences in the internal realm. Behind their protective masks of irony, Austen and Woolf are attempting to create a spirit into the novel by altering the established values of what it means to be a woman in patriarchal society. Their first source are their stories as outsiders, females who have been taught from birth that women must struggle for their role as outsiders. Their final source, one that has shaped future generations, is to controvert the social myths embedded among society , and to escape the life in a marginal province by writing literature and letting the truth be known. These stories, like all good stories, are more than just sharing an experience. Each one touches the audience, creating tiny epiphanies for the reader. The Odyssey, A Room Of One's Own, and Northanger Abbey are ...
