- 22331: Elizabethan Sonnets
- ... rhyme scheme that was departing from Petrarchan sonnets. Yet, Elizabethan sonnets still carried the tradition of Petrarchan conceit. Petrarchan conceit was a figure used in love poems consisting detailed yet exaggerated comparisons to the lover's mistress that often emphasized the use of blazon. The application of blazon would emphasize more on the metaphorical perfection of the mistresses due to the natural objects were created by God, hence when the mistresses were better than nature, then there would be nothing better than the mistresses. Sonnet 130 written by William Shakespeare developed into an anti-Petrarchan position by denying the image of Petrarchan poet's mistresses who always were ideal and idolized. Any lover's mistress in Petrachan poet's sonnet would expect to have eyes that vying the sun, lips that are redder than coral, breasts as white as snow, and hair that shines. Nevertheless, the speaker created ...

Some realize very quickly who, or what their first loves are, and some do not realize for a very long time. In A.E. Houseman's "When I Was One and Twenty," Houseman writes about his ignorance toward his first love. He writes about how ignorant he was toward the whole situation and how relatively quickly he realized that he should ... At every step you missed, My right ear scraped a buckle" (758). This means that Roethke was very young to have been experiencing this and unless he was a child when he wrote "My Papa's Waltz," he did not realize his first love until he was much older. Some artists realize very early their first loves and some take a long time, but the point is that they all ...

- ... strive for in their daily lives. It also makes the world a better place since everyone is happier and looks for positive things instead of negative. Now we will look at a few different way's of how happiness affects our lives. First happiness affects the way we all see ourselves.

- 22334: Fossil Fuel Consumption, CO2 and Its Impact on Global Climate
- ... into the energy-intensive economies of today. Since the eighteenth century the industrialising countries have come to rely on non-renewable energy resources, and at present about 80 per cent (Myers, 1994) of the world's commercial energy is derived from oil, coal and gas. Although it has been observed that the growth of energy consumption is closely correlated with the increases in gross national product thus our economic development, the ... is the increase in global temperature caused by the atmospheric greenhouse effect. We have greenhouse effect because some trace components of our atmosphere re-absorb and retain certain wavelengths of heat radiated from the Earth's surface, and the burning of fossil fuels have increased the tropospheric concentration of all of these compounds, especially carbon dioxide # (CO2). The Greenhouse Gas Ύ CO2: A Product of Fossil Fuel Consumption: 'Pollution' of the atmosphere ... We often refer carbon dioxide as a 'greenhouse gas', as the name implies, it is a kind of material that would absorb and retain heat. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is transparent to the sun's short-wave radiation, which is primarily in the ultra-violent and visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (l=0.1-1 mm). After the incident radiation has penetrated the atmosphere and been absorbed by ...
- 22335: 2001 A Space Odyssey
- ... Hal, the super smart computer, takes over the controls of the ship, and the astronauts try to disconnect it from the controls. It must be intensely frustrating for Hal to communicate with human beings. Hal s whole being is built around the ability to communicate at electrical energy speeds. There is never a moment when Hal is not observing the aspects of Discovery. We might think of Has checking a distant ... Hal (instantaneous for Hal means something quite different from what it means to Dave or Frank, the two astronauts aboard Discovery, a remark that has some significance for what follows a little later). Maybe Hal s human interaction programming should have been more thorough. The programming was done solely for the astronauts comfort, and was never intended to help in any of the really important parts of the mission, such as ... pod and bash Dave over the head with a handy oxygen cylinder as Dave came storming past? No, that would be too reminiscent of what a man-ape would do four million years ago. Hal s emotional appeal would probably have worked with any human being alive at that time except Dave. I can think of no more effective means of defense for Hal. The idea that Hal was ever ...
- 22336: Taming Of The Shrew Illusion V
- ... like a heavenly vision of beauty that any man would be lucky to have for a wife. However, after the courtship of Katherina begins, the true personalities of the characters are revealed. When a person's own family fears them, one would assume that there is good reason for it. In Katherina's case though, nobody ever takes the time to listen to what she actually feels. When she says, "A pretty pet! It is best put finger in the eye, an she knew why." (Pg. 16), she ... to all the flattery that Bianca receives, the only time people ever talk about Katherina is when she acts like a shrew. A more vulnerable side to Katherina actually surfaces when she arrives at Petruchio's house. As Petruchio taunts her with food, she exclaims, "I pray you husband, be not so disquiet: The meat was well, if you were so contented." (Pg. 70) Disposing of the invincibility she maintains ...
- 22337: Prenatal Diagnosis: Heredity Disorders, Other Biochemical Diseases, and Disfiguring Birth Defects
- ... hereditary biochemical disorders of metabolism are known. About 1 in every 100 children born have one of these biochemical disorders. (Nora, 1989). Many of these disorders do not cause mental retardation, or impair the child's normal development or general health to any great extent, if at all. Many others, however, cause severe mental retardation, seizures, stunting of growth, and early death. Close to 150 of these biochemical disorders can now be diagnosed in the affected fetus early in pregnancy. (Nora,1989). The first diagnosis of a biochemical disorder in the fetus while in the womb was made in the late 1960's; the disorder was Tay-Sachs disease. (Emery, 1968). Diagnosis such as this are made by obtaining cells from the amniotic fluid which are placed in small dishes containing a nutrient broth, and then kept in ... tone, and eventually mental and motor retardation. Treatment of the fetus through the mother during pregnancy is carried out by giving her intramuscular injections of massive doses of vitamin B12. This method secures the child's health at birth, when a special low-protein diet is started. In this way serious illness, mental retardation and early death have been averted. Another considerably more common disorder is congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). ...
- 22338: Life and Sacrifice
- ... religion, and some people are seeking and surviving for love. Ironically, these things that most of us are aiming for motivate us to sacrifice something important to us, in extreme cases our lives.

Sacrifice, may be described as an honourable act, in fact from a realistic perspective, it is ... family as a result of his suicide. His decease has only brought feelings of sorrow and sadness to his family, which turns out to be an unnecessary sacrifice. Reverend John Hales remarkable comment on Protor's decision; " Life is God's most precious gift, no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it." (Miller, P. 132), indeed is an enlightenment for readers to re-consider the value of their lives. Nothing in the world ...
