paces in a straight line northward. At the end of her distance she will call this point “B”. Vanessa will now turn 90 degrees to the right and will walk 2x+4 paces east until she is at point “C”. We have now acquired a line segment which we will call AB which is basically the line from A to B, the line segment from B to C is considered BC. However, the lines AB and BC intersect to form a perpendicular angel, and we will use line AC as Ahmed’s route. The end state of the line segments if one was…

length, with all stanzas ending in the same, or similar, lines. The ending line of the first two stanzas refer back to the “Ecchoing Green”, which is echoing with timelessness in the beginning of life, to the “Darkening Green”…

structure. The title “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” is repeated four times throughout the poem. It is the first line of the poem as well as the ending of two stanzas (stanzas 2 and 4) and the second to last line of the entire poem. The line “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” also repeats four times and is the final line of the poem. The two lines evoke a sense of urgency for the reader, almost to invoke the idea that death is coming soon and his words should be heeded.…

of the wavelength. As it was impossible to measure the true standard curve, the data points and subsequent graphs demonstrated the qualitative information collected and the trend of these values. The calibration curve closely resembled a straight line, with only minimal deviations in either direction. This indicated that the solutions examined and the data attained had a low percentage of error and high accuracy. As the concentration of the cobalt (II) solution decreased, the absorbance also…

poem about being ungrateful for things done everyday. Composed of three main sections, not by stanzas but by line breaks. In the first section, the speaker describes how his father rose early during his childhood, even on Sundays, to do chores. In the second section, the speaker describes how he got up later after his father was already done with all the work.

Throughout Frederick’s campaign, he “could not spare the time for a lengthy pursuit of a single enemy.” For example, during the Battle of Leuthen, Frederick devastated the enemy by killing 10,000 Austrians and taking 12,000 more as prisoners.” However, Frederick had lost 6,000 of his own and could not effectively pursue and destroy the retreating Army. In most battles however, Frederick “usually lost more men than his enemies.” The time-consuming aspect of siege warfare further inhibited the…

under European influence which encouraged the sale of such captives” (160). Carib warfare was inherently limited in nature, there being a definite separation between the civilians and the warrior, however when intercourse with Europeans began, these lines blurred; Whitehead states “The Tiger spirit has been released from his magic constraints to become a constant force in the consciousness of the Carib warrior”…

1. “Lischer introduces three types of military-humanitarian interactions: “humanitarian soldiers,” “aid workers as government agents,” and “humanitarian placebo.” What are the key features of these three types of militarized aid? What are their potential implications for aid organizations and their intended beneficiaries?” “Humanitarian soldiers”- Involving the military in the provision of aid can grow stability and help make allies with other countries. It can also strengthen government…
