- 10471: Foreshadowing In A Tale Of Two
- ... novel that reveals many future events through the use of foreshadowing. The French Revolution is the main event described by the use of foreshadowing. Dickens uses the phrase “one tall joker so besmirched . . . scrawl[s] upon a wall with his finger dipped in muddy-lees – BLOOD” to forecast the spilt wine as future blood shed during the French Revolution (37-38). Dickens also subtly states “the one woman [Madame Defarge] who [stands] conspicuous, knitting, still knit[s] on with the steadfastness of Fate” and he is foreshadowing the French Revolution by comparing Madame Defarge to Fate (117). Both Madame Defarge and Fate mark people who are destined to die which leads further ... the heads being severed by La Guillotine (187). Another instance of foreshadowing is the revenge of the poor people against the aristocrats. When Dickens writes, “there [is] a flutter in the air that fan[s] Saint Antoine and his devouring hunger far away” he is referring to the poor people in Saint Antoine such as the Defarges and their death craving towards the aristocrats (113). The poor that crave ...

- 10473: How Does Bernard Shaw Satirise
- When Bernard Shaw was writing 'Arms and the Man' in 1893-1894, Romantic ideals concerning love and war were still widely accepted and considered normal; an attitude that did not change, even with Bernard Shaw's efforts to the contrary, until the dreadful losses of the First World War. Shaw, a socialist, was greatly influenced by Henrik Ibsen who "took social themes, treated them realistically and condemned the crushing effects of ... byronic, which is used to describe someone who is energetic, melodramatic and romantically good-looking, the characteristics of the poet Lord Byron. Byron was a controversial romantic, who was a superb poet (in some people s opinion) but led a scandalous life. Sergius is also good-looking, or believes himself to be, and it is revealed that he is also leading a rather scandalous attachment to Louka. He is certainly melodramatic ... Sergius and Raina) put on before one another and the real manner. She has common sense, and Shaw contrasts this with Sergius obvious lack of it. She suggests that they stand back where we can t be seen whilst Sergius is trying to make a Romantic gesture and make love with her. Sergius then makes a ridiculous statement, which highlights the absurdity of the concept of the higher love: I ...
- 10474: Jane Eyre, The Feminist Tract"
- Jane Eyre, The Feminist Tract" In 1837 critic Robert Southey wrote to Charlotte Bronte, "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure will she have for it, even as an accomplishment and a recreation," (Gaskell 102). This opinion ... novel, but also the character herself as a cultural heroine, is to transform a primeval society, one which devalues women and their contributions, into a nobler order of civilization (Craig 57). The effectiveness of Bronte's argument is due to both her motivation and approach. Bronte found her motivation from the experiences she had undergone while living in the Victorian era. Her approach in advocating social reform is to establish Jane as a model for readers. Readers are meant to examine Jane's life, especially the manner in which she handles problems or confrontations in her relationships, and to follow her example in their own lives. Just as we see Jane as a model of a woman ...
- 10475: A Rose For Emily
- ... when she had vanquished their fathers thirty years before about the smell. You're directed toward the battle language - "vanquished, horse and foot" and in recalling the early images of Miss Emily in her 30's. The first scene features Miss Emily "two years after her father's death" and shortly after her sweetheart deserted her as the town interferes after townspeople complain about "the smell." Four townspeople reduced to the roles of nighttime prowlers, "slunk" around Miss Emily's house and "sling" lime. Creeping away, they see Miss Emily silhouetted in the window, "her upright torso motionless as that of an idol," ever dominating the community. The narrator goes into great details to ...
- 10476: Treating Diabetes with Transplanted Cells
- Treating Diabetes with Transplanted Cells Seventy-five years ago the type of diabetes that affected children and young adults was lethal. In the 1990's investigators found that a hormone, that was produced in Islets of Langerhans, was not being produced in diabetes patients. This hormone, called insulin, enables other cells to take up sugar glucose from the blood for ... 1 diabetes has ceased completely from making insulin and the people who had this kind usually died. Type 2 diabetes still makes a little insulin so suffers of this type usually lived. In the 1920's prospects for people who suffered from type 1 diabetes increased when it was learned that insulin extracted from animals and placed in humans could prevent death. Unfortunately, this is not a cure. Patients can get ... potentially fatal diabetes-related disorders. These include blindness and, or kidney failure. Atherososclerosis, numbness and pain in extremities caused by narrowed vessicles, may also be a problem. These effects are caused because insulin injections can't perfectly mimic naturally made insulin. That's why a therapy that maintains glucose values within normal from the begging is needed. An ideal treatment would be the implantation of islets. This, in theory, would ...
- 10477: The Adventures Of Huckleberry
- ... but Twain uses irony for other occasions, too. The second circumstanc that stands out in my mind for being so ironic would be when Sophia Grangerford marries her enemy, Harney Shephardson. "Well, den Miss Sophia's run off to ded she ded. She run off in de night some time. Nobodydon't know jus' when run off to dat Harney Shephardson." Why would someone go off and marry a perso that they have been taught to hate for years?

- 10478: Facts About Marijuana
- Facts About Marijuana Marijuana originated in the middle east (Taiwan, Korea). China plays an important part in Marijuana's history. Hoatho, the first chinese physician to use Cannabis for medical purposes as a painkiller and anesthetic for surgery. In the Ninth Century B.C., it was used as an incense by the Assyrians Herbal ... These were what they used it for: the control of muscle spasms, reduction of pain, and for indegestion. Imagine that if they still practiced this, instead of taking an Alka Seltzer after you had mom's Chili or Tacos, you might be sitting in the living room on the LAY-Z Boy, smoking a joint or however they would take it. The folk medicine of Africa and Asia have used it ... China and found marijuana was not in use in formal medical places. J. D. P.

- 10479: Narration in Haircut and Cask of Amontillado
- ... in "Haircut" and "Cask of Amontillado" both put their own slant on the events as they tell them. This shows unreliable first-person narration in both stories. In "Haircut", Whitey is the narrator. He doesn't seem to be able to see through the events in the story, even though he is the one telling it. In "Cask of Amontillado", Montresor doesn't tell the whole story to Fortunato, who believes that he is going to be sampling some fine wine. The first such example is this. Jim Kendall plays a practical joke on Whitey himself. He calls up and pretends he's a woman, and gets Whitey to come and shave a dead man. It turns out that there is no body, and Whitey has borne the brunt of a practical joke. But this is really ...
- 10480: Human Cloning Is Beneficial
- ... potential to solve the problems with fertility, to prevent hereditary diseases, to eliminate the problem with human organs limitation and it would help paralyzed people. Cloning humans became more than a possibility after Ian Wilmut’s announcement in February 1997, that a healthy sheep named Dolly had been cloned from an adult cell (Reilly 289). Less than a year after Wilmut’s discovery, the physicist Richard Seed said in a radio interview that he is planning to set up a private clinic for cloning human beings (Stock 61). The immediate response of the media and even of the president of the United States was hysterical and even more explosive than Wilmut’s announcement about Dolly’s arrival (Reilly 293). Perhaps some people ask themselves, why Dr. Seed, a physicist with no laboratory facilities, garnered so much attention? In fact, it does not matter what Dr. Seed ...
