foreign and strange to them, they tend to react in one of two ways. They either try to change the present to match a time in the past when things were alright in their minds or they will try to push for new and revolutionary changes. In the Spring-Autumn period of China, 722-481 BCE, many people were finding themselves in this position as order seemed to be gone from China. Conflict was constant and especially violent and as time went on it only seemed to get worse. It was out of this time that…

originally because Autumn is my favorite time of year, but as I read I am struck by how Keats captures the tangibility of the season and can 't help but wonder if it isn 't his favorite time of year also. Keats seems to have created a human persona for the term by using phrases like 'bosom-friend "and "hair soft lifted...". While perusing each stanza, I have the feeling that I am walking through Autumn. It 's as if the language Keats uses is drawing me onward in a journey through the period…

characters were focused on what they love about the other person. Nature was also idealized in the romanticism era.

The state imposed on the world by autumn is one of darkness and rot, yet this seasonal change is…

Spring Fishing In the spring, the ice cover melts from lakes and rivers and walleye begin to move into spawning grounds from the deep water of their winter habitats.

Thanks to its carved topography, researchers have always suspected that Mars was once home to several rivers, lakes, and perhaps even oceans. There has even been some speculation about the existence of frozen water deep beneath the ground. However, finding evidence of liquid water in the present day, has been a little elusive. That is why NASA's September 28th announcement that confirmed the detection of liquid brine on the Red Planet caused so much excitement. The first indication of the…
