this affair had brought to her life. She remarks, “To be here and not there, to be one person and not another, a certain man’s wife and the wife of another man.” Amidst both writers, Anna’s self-demotions into her youth and inexperience was a common thread. At her first opportunity to reveal her insecurities, Anna exhibits her discontent with her personal worth, with her constant desire for Gurov’s approval. In a dejected pose, she sat and complained, “You’ll be the first not to respect me now.”…

Another common thread runs through all these people, their motives for interceding. As both an ex-slave and a woman, Sojourner Truth felt compelled through her experiences to try and better those groups and raise them up to be equals in society (Gilbert). Gandhi was motivated by the unfair treatment of his people (and thus himself). He too was motivated by his personal experiences to try and make a difference in the world (Applebee). And in the movie The Great Debaters, Mr. Tolson was motivated…

The stronger, on the other hand, don’t face thread of getting occupied so their will to win is not as strong. Record agrees with Mack’s assessment and further argues that inferior will to win was one of components that caused the U.S to lose Vietnam. “Key Vietnam War players in the Johnson…

Determining the effect of the mass on the drop time of a parachute Introduction and hypothesis The drop time of a parachute is dependent on multiple factors. Apart from mass, there is the obvious height, area of the parachute and other external factors such as wind. Mass is one of the main effectors of the drop time of a parachute, which can be proven through Newton’s second law, F=ma (Force=mass*acceleration). Rearranged, this gives a=F/m, where acceleration can also be gravity, if falling down…
