- 16462: Analysis Of The Machine That W
- ... only capable of doing what it was programmed to do. He stated that ever since the beginning of the war, he had been hiding a secret. It was the fact that some of its (Multivac’s) data might have been unreliable. This conflict, as you will note later, helped win the war. The great computer was capable of creating a direct battle plan which Earth forces could use to attack their ... losing his job and wanting to keep it made him jingle with the programming until it seemed right. This foreshadowing helps the reader to see that someone is going to have to act upon Henderson’s faults if the war is to be won. Swift, the military commander, received these battle plans that Henderson had ‘printed up’ out on the front (the front being the battle front). He, realizing that some of these plans were outrageous, had to act upon a different form of machine. Swift’s motivation for not always acting upon what was laid before him helped change the course of the war. He told Henderson that when faced with the difficult decisions, he didn’t use Multivac’s ...
- 16463: Ozymandias (1818): An Analysis
- ... wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Humans throughout history have striven to overcome their mortality by leaving something of themselves behind -- evidence of their existence. The subject of Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" is an ancient king who shared this common desire, but not in a common way. He not only wanted to leave behind a record of himself for future generations, he wanted his memory ... The irony in this poem lies in the difference between what Ozymandias intends -- to hold onto the glory of his works after time takes its course with him -- and what actually happens. This great monument's "frown, / And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command" and the inscription on the pedestal are all meant to inspire fear in the viewer. However, natural weathering and (possibly) destruction due to conquest have dismembered ... Ramses II (Ramses the Great), third king of the 19th dynasty of Egypt. Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian in the 1st century BC, recorded the name when he made reference to the Ramesseum -- Ramses II's mortuary temple -- as "the Tomb of Ozymandias." "Ozymandias" is actually a flawed spelling of the first part of Ramses' name. This tie between Shelley's poem and history gives greater depth to one's ...
- 16464: The Greek-Trojan War in The Iliad
- ... a higher power, and provide explanations for otherwise unexplainable events. The gods help humans in trouble and give them guidance about the future. The Olympians influence men on earth both psychologically and physically. In Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, the intervention of such divine powers as Athena, Apollo, and Zeus play significant roles in the lives of the characters and the events of the Greek- Trojan War. Athena plays a very influential role in the Greek-Trojan War. She is the most constant divine supporter of the Greeks and divine enemy of the Trojans. Athena's function is to be a goddess of pro-Greek warfare. She came to the aid of the Greeks many times throughout the war. For instance, Athena came down from the sky to stop Achilleus from ... forth of the white-armed goddess Hera, that loveth you twain alike and careth for you. Go to now, cense from strife, and let not thine hand draw the sword.(65) Achilles listens to Athena's request, and therefore he returns his sword to its sheath, and withdraws from battle. Athena also assists Achilles in his battle with Hektor. Malcolm Willcock quotes, “After deceiving Hektor into fighting Achilles,she comes ...

- One of the weaknesses of the novel, Pride and Prejudice is that the characters are divided up between those you like and those you don’t. Discuss. The characters found in the novel, Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen, are easily contrasted. While some characters are likeable, we have others who are seen as silly and petty. Thus, we have strong ... not afraid to stand up to others. “ I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”, (Ch. 34) she exclaims in response to Darcy’s initial proposal. However, with all her strong-mindedness, her courage is still shown when she admits that she is wrong after she read Darcy’s letter of explanation and said: “But vanity, not love, has been my folly.” Through this realisation, we see that Elizabeth does not have the stereotypical nature of the majority of the people in her ...
- 16466: Symbols In The Rime Of The Anc
- In this essay, I will be examining some of the symbols in Samuel Taylor Coleridge s poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Symbols were very important in this poem.

The albatross goes from being a symbol of god fortune to one of guilt when it is hung around the Mariner s neck as a sign of what he has done. Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. (ln. 142-43) This macabre symbol of the Mariner s guilt stays around his neck, a morbid weight around his neck until he can pray. This fact is a symbol of religion for the Mariner. The guilt of wronging one of God s creatures ...

- 16469: Nicholas: The Last Tsar
- In his book, The Last Tsar, Edvard Radzinsky describes a very interesting viewpoint of the life and death of Nicholas Alexandrovich, the last Russian Tsar. Radzinsky's illustration of this ill-fated monarch follows the diaries of Nicholas from their beginning on March 1, 1881, to the final entry on July 16, 1918.1 Radzinsky mainly goes over pre-marital relationship between ... the English Queen. Instead, he suggested that Nicholas marry a princess from the House of Orleans. His decision was basely mainly on politics, as he was striving for an alliance between Russia and France. Alexander's suggestion did not have any effect on Nicholas, as he seemed certain to marry his childhood sweetheart, Alexandra. That day came in 1894, when Alexander was on his deathbed, suffering from a kidney disease that he had contracted in a train wreck six years earlier. On April 8, 1894, at the wedding of Alexandra's brother, her and Nicholas were engaged.3 On November 14, 1894, a month after the death of his father Nicholas married Alexandra and officially became the tsar of Russia. Alexei Nikolaevich, the first son ...

His false tale is the following: " Tis death for anyone in ... published and proclaimed it openly. Tis marvel, but that you are but newly come, You might have heard it else proclaimed about (4.2.86-92.)." Tranio later argues how he can save the man's life: "To save your life in this extremity, This favor I will do for his [Vincentio, Lucentio's father] sake (And think it not the worst of all your fortunes that you are like Sir Vincentio): His name and credit shall you undertake, And in my house you shall be friendly lodged ( ...
