- 7051: Anointed King
- Within Shakespeare s play Richard II there are many questionable and untrusting characters. Truth and duty are only illusions within the play. Lust for power and control override the order of England and its ordained king. It s believed that it is by the will of God that Richard is king. No mortal man can come between what God has set before them as rule. The final decision is God s and the only way that God s choice can be changed is by God himself, and no one else. God takes the Garden of Eden from Adam, and like Adam, England is taken from ...

Electromagnetism is described by MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS for an antisymmetric tensor, whereas Einstein's theory of gravitation centers about a symmetric metric tensor; Einstein's idea was to combine both descriptions into a single, nonsymmetric tensor, thereby treating both subjects ...

- 7057: History of the Computer Industry in America
- ... Such a device that changes the way we work, live, and play is a special one, indeed. A machine that has done all this and more now exists in nearly every business in the U.S. and one out of every two households (Hall, 156). This incredible invention is the computer. The electronic computer has been around for over a half-century, but its ancestors have been around for 2000 years. However, only in the last 40 years has it changed the American society. From the first wooden abacus to the latest high-speed microprocessor, the computer has changed nearly every aspect of people's lives for the better.The very earliest existence of the modern day computer's ancestor is the abacus.

- 7058: Dorine, Her Voice of Reason and How She Is Able to Save the Family From Their Demise
- ... a voice of reason who is able to voice her opinion and eventually free the other characters from such a manipulative man. It is in the first scene of the play that we see Dorine's character traits developing. The quote from Madame Parnelle in scene one states "Girl, you talk too much, and I'm afraid you're far too saucy for a lady's maid. You push in everywhere"(21). From the start it is apparent that Dorine is an outspoken character, and by doing this she is clearly putting herself out on a limb because she is dissimilar to the other women of her time. I believe that it is here that Moliere foreshadows the importance of Dorine's a character. Later on in the play she will play a crucial role in saving Mariane, her counterpart, from marrying Tartuffe, and ultimately saving Orgon's family by bringing about plans to reveal Tartuffe' ...

- 7060: Critiscisms Of My Antonia
- ... could get their pen on. This is seen from criticisms of Henry Adams to William Butler Yeats. These writers critique everything about the writer and his/her works. For instance many critics criticize Willa Cather's novel, My Antonia. Their criticisms lie on the basis that My Antonia is based on cyclical themes with no structure holding each of the My Antonia's books. In other words, as a collection of five different accounts remembered by the main character, Jim Burden, My Antonia is characterized by a loose plot structure yet the existence of common themes is expressed in a cyclical nature. According to James E. Miller, Jr.'s " 'My Antonia': A Frontier Drama of Time," Willa Cather's novel, My Antonia, is "defective in structure." (Bloom 51) Its structure is basically based on the narrators', which is Cather herself, point of view ...
