As a scholar once noted about Gogol, “His is the theater of destruction, distortion and hyperbole, and it is also a moral and angry theater in that it teaches, through tragic-comic slapstick, a lesson in shattered complacencies.” This is an accurate depiction of The Government Inspector, which…

simple as a story about a misshapen man to a story about a man’s fall to a state psychological terror. In the case of grotesque stories with a goal of terror the events of the story can be seen as unthinkable, disgusting, and confusing in a way of distortion for the reader. Authors accomplish this through their precise word choice, and use of ideas and symbolism that for many people comes across as shocking and cause a reaction. In all stories with the grotesque theme being one that is supposed…

I got the wind kicked out me, everyone was screaming their heads off and then…

Friction Ridge Comparison Summary Introduction: Friction Ridge comparison is used a lot by the CSI and FBI nowadays. The purpose of the study was to come up with a basic analysis of the science of friction ridge patterns on skin, and to approve further research for the friction ridge patterns on the skin to be tested, and to come up with a hypothesis for that idea/theory. At first the scientists was unable to find the right piece of information (literature) that supports their assumptions of…

The larger the spring constant – that is, the firmer the spring – the larger the restoring force the spring exerts for a given distortion. The negative sign indicates that a restoring force always points in the direction opposite the distortion. Some springs are soft and have small spring constant (springs in the toaster), others – firm and have large spring constants (automobile chassis). When you step on a bathroom scale…

Through the framework of cognitive theory one could say that Krissy’s internal turmoil over leaving Dorian stemmed from a cognitive distortion that a wife was required to submit to her husband. Krissy’s development of this maladaptive thought process on the ideal relationship between husband and wife started in her early childhood. Linda Dynel stated that her grandfather asserted that women were designed to play the role of either the showpiece or servant. This explanation of a woman’s purpose…

and properties. The tetrahedral distortion comprises of tetrahedral tilt angle δ and inter-tetrahedral bridging angle θ. Both the bond length and the O-PO angle play a part in the tetrahedral distortion when the temperature increases. At the moment, it is more appropriate to identify tetrahedrons as a structured body because the tetrahedral tilt is more essential in contributing to the tetrahedral distortion. In essence, tetrahedral tilt caused tetrahedral distortion. It is measured by tilt…
