By the end of the poem, Poe describes the iron funeral bells, describing the moaning and groaning, as well as…

Social hierarchies have existed just as long as people have. They will continue to exist until an apocalypse, a rapture, or anything in between proceeds to destroy the earth as it is known. It is a pity that those at the bottom of the pyramid tend to not have control over their situations but rather are at the bottom of the social hierarchy due to unfair prejudiced attitudes. During the Depression Era, the setting of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, people were shown severe discrimination by…

I went back to the text but the dialogue had died down and no new themes or ideas were coming to me. At this point I did what Nancy Gross suggests and listed out my possible guesses for the meaning of this text. • it is a literal view of what it will be like before Jesus second coming of judgement. • It is about the hope of the coming of Christ • It is about the action needed before Christ coming again • It has something to do with eschatological theology and the idea of Christ coming to us…

Cassava has the potential to reduce rural and urban poverty, increase farm incomes and also help to close the food gap. Family labour, land, a hoe and machete can be used to produce cassava, making it an attractive and low-risk crop for poor farmers. Also, cassava is available to low-income rural households in the form of simple food products (for example, dried roots and leaves) which are significantly cheaper than grains such as rice, maize and wheat. Similarly, urban households in many parts…
