- ... Arthur and the Catholic Church is the Holy Grail. The Grail was said to be the cup that Jesus used at the Last Supper and at the Crucifixion to have received blood flowing from Christ's side. At the round table there was an extra seat reserved for the finder of the Holy Grail.

These two signs of betrayal have a direct connection with one another. By the ideas presented in this report, one can see the strong influence the church had on King Arthur’s Court and on all forms of politics.

- 26824: The Lottery By Shirley Jackson
- ... been changed or even long forgotten by most of the people. This fact in itself, along with a few other clues, tells me that not everyone agrees with it. One character says, “seems like there’s no time at all between lotteries anymore”. This means that the lottery is much too frequent or should not even be done at all. I believe that many disagree with the practice of the ritual ... Old Man Warner, “that over in the north village they’re talking of giving up the lottery” and that “Some places have already quit the lotteries”. He replies “Pack of crazy fools” and says, “There’s always been a lottery”. Although she does not say it in so many words, I find it obvious that she feels that the ritual should be put to an end. This in combination with the fact that many of the townspeople do not even remember the reasons behind the ritual has led me to the conclusion that they only continue the process for “tradition’s sake”. It just goes to show that humans are creatures of habit and that sometimes we continue to participate in (or tolerate) harmful practices. This is simply because as individuals we feel powerless and ...

- ... the Holocaust or why Holocaust even happened. Jews were the targets of Holocaust because Adolf Hitler hated Jews and blamed them for all of the problems in the world. He mainly blamed them for Germany's loss in World War I. Hitler told the German that they could have won the war, if the Germany had not been "stabbed in the back" by the Jews. While Hitler's hate was the main reason for Holocaust, we are not sure why it was allowed to go on to the death of most the Jews and the others that Hitler hated. Hitler was helped in ... race, that the Jews are not even human beings, then an explosion of this sort is inevitable." I believe that Holocaust and the reason that it happened to the Jews was the result of Hitler's discrimination against Jews. I believe that Holocaust was a warning of what can happen when leaders of a place are motivated by hate, and use that hate to supply simple answers to problems of ...

In Act two, scene two ,Balthasar is encouraged to sing, but declines, saying, "note this before my notes; there’s not a note of mine that’s worth the noting."

In addition, much of the play is dedicated to people "noting" (or observing) the actions of others (such as the ...

- ... vibrate and emit a tone. The pitch of said tone is governed by the length of the rod, but the perceived loudness is affected by many determinants: the force of the clappers impact, the alloy's density and structure, and the speed and direction of the wind (to name a few). Also affecting the loudness is the lack of resonating chamber or hard connection between rods and frame. The chime would ... and frame would also accomplish this result somewhat; the vibrations of each seperate rod would be commuted to the others, resulting in more vibrating surface area (and hence, more volume). The transmission of the chime's sound without the abovementioned alterations is quite simple; each rod releases longitudinal waves radially from it's longest axis (excepting deviances caused by deformation or impurity of the metal), which travel until they are absorbed or reflected by an independent surface. These waves travel at a speed governed by the temperature ...
