...Blown to Bits: Chapter 7- You Can’t Say That on the Internet The internet has long been a place where people go to escape, connect with others, and better themselves. However when children start connecting with people that seek to do them harm, or have a less than appropriate relationship, United States authorities step in. In an attempt to keep children safe, lawmakers drafted legislation that would require children to have adult supervision to access a large portion of the internet. These laws brought to national attention the core idea of chapter 7, how much can you really control what children do on the internet? The balance between keeping children safe and simultaneously keeping them connected to the wealth of knowledge that is the internet. The internet...

The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | I’ve lived in Connecticut my whole life and until now I was unaware of its geological history. Admiring the landscape of the state has always been one of my great pleasures. When I traveled around the country I would compare the natural wonders of each state to my own. Besides the rocky mountains in Colorado and the white mountains of New Hampshire few places match Connecticut’s regal terrain. Growing up in Bristol I would hike up to Pinnacle Mountain in Plainville, my friends and I would stand in awe of the magnificent rock structures. In the summer I would go on vacation to Old Lyme, it was there I fell in love with the earth’s most beautiful contrasts, the ocean meeting the rock and vice a versa. But until now I never educated myself on how all this magnificence came about. In this paper I will chronologically describe the eras and events that formed Connecticut’s geologic history. The oldest rocks provide a window through time telling a story of continental collisions so powerful that they raised mountains thousands of feet high. Others reveal evidence of a slow but constant attack from the elements that wore down those same majestic...

...Stanza 1 Summary Lines 1-2 Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; * From the title it's clear that the speaker is talking about autumn. The speaker briefly describes the season and immediately jumps into personification, suggesting that autumn and the sun are old pals. * "Mists" often accompany chilly weather because the moisture in the air condenses into a vapor when it's cold. * "Mellow fruitfulness" sounds like something people would say at a wine tasting, doesn't it? "Mmm...this season has a mellow fruitfulness, with just a hint of cherry and chocolate." The word "mellow," meaning low-key or subdued, is a good fit for autumn, with its neutral colors and cool, yet not cold, weather. And it's also the season when many fruits and other crops are harvested, making autumn fruit-full. * Autumn is a close friend of the sun, who is "maturing" as the year goes on. "Maturing" could be a polite way of saying "getting old." The sun is no longer in its prime. * A "bosom-friend" is like that friend you told all your secrets to in junior high school. Lines 3-4 Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; * Ah, so now the sun and autumn are "conspiring," eh? Looks like we might have to separate the two of them. What are they whispering about over there? * OK, so not quite as thrilling as we thought. They are planning how to make fruit grow on the vines that curl...

...Fern Hill Summary "Fern Hill" is six stanzas of praising and then lamenting days the speaker spent at Fern Hill as a youth. And this speaker is stoked about running through the countryside. Throughout the poem, he talks about how happy he was as a youngster and how oblivious he was that youth was passing. But at the end of the poem, the tone shifts dramatically from joy to lamentation. It's almost like singing, "If you're happy and you know it, think again!" What was a carefree bliss for the speaker turns out to be a fleeting joy that he ever can't recapture. What a bummer. Stanza 1 Summary Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line. Lines 1-2 Now I was young and easy under the apple boughs About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green * Welcome to Fern Hill, where the speaker was once young and carefree. Plus, apple trees. Sounds like a great place to Shmoop. * He also hung out in his "lilting house." What in the world is a lilting house, you ask? Well, lilting is an old school style of Gaelic singing, but it can refer to anything with a cheerful, happy tone. * So was the house singing? Well, maybe not literally, but with this personification, the speaker is setting the mood for the rest of the poem. Things are good. * He's young, happy, and the pastoral scenery is like a mirror of the speaker's joy. Lines 3-5 The night above the dingle starry, Time let me hail and climb Golden in the heydays of his eyes...

...The Darkling Thrush - Thomas Hardy [1840-1928] Relevant Background * The poet Thomas Hardy was born near Dorchester in England. * He is also famous for writing novels. * Hardy gained a love of music from his father. Music is a prominent feature of ‘The Darkling Thrush’. * Hardy gained his interest in literature from his mother. * At the age of 22 Hardy moved to London and started to write poems. These early poems praised country life. Yet Hardy didn’t publish his poems until he was 58. He was 60 when he wrote this poem. * Hardy wrote over 900 poems in his lifetime. * Hardy’s poems are straight to the point and sometimes gloomy in outlook. In this poem he finds a source of hope when a thrush suddenly starts to sing. * Hardy’s most common theme is about the way people struggle against fate. * Hardy's themes also include rural life and nature, love, change, time, loss and death. * Hardy’s tone is usually ironic; that is he sees the unexpected twists and surprises of life. The twist in this poem is that when the poet was in a sad mood due to winter a weak old thrush caused him to feel hope. * Most of Hardy’s poetry is relatively simple and yet skilful. However, some of his poetic writing can be difficult due to old-fashioned words and phrases. * Hardy loves to think in surprising images that appeal to the reader’s intelligence. * Hardy’s poems tend to be descriptive, lyrical, and regular in form. He is a poet who likes even lines...

...You are in a very lucky phase, for Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, is still in Gemini for the first time since mid-2000 to mid-2001. Back in those years, Saturn was not in a friendly angle to Jupiter, and so Saturn severely limited Jupiter's benefits. You have a far brighter picture now, so there's no end to how high you can fly. Right now, Jupiter has been retrograde since October 5, so it is sliding backward toward the beginning degrees of Gemini. Actually this is good, as Jupiter will be intent on coming back to give more benefits to Gemini with birthdays that fall in May up to June 6. (As you see, there are times a retrograde planet can be quite beneficial.) Jupiter will turn direct on January 30, so at that time, Jupiter will be even stronger than it is now. If you feel life has been fortunate for you recently, imagine how much more fortunate you will be later when Jupiter moves direct! This planet of goodness will remain in your sign until June 25, 2013, so you have many wonderful days ahead! Speaking of wonder days, there was a lunar full moon eclipse late last month November 28, in Gemini 7 degrees, and it appeared very close to Jupiter. If your birthday falls within five days of May 27, you were in line for double the luck at eclipse time, and this is also true if you have a natal planet at 7 degrees (plus or minus five degrees) of Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. That new moon eclipse likely illuminated a path ahead by giving you very...

Following terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001 made U.S President George W. Bush to send American troops to Afghanistan to fight al Qaeda and their crazy followers of Osama bin Laden. This war have taken away lots of people lives. Young Americans die their almost every day. The book Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell is not just a real story about SEAL team 10 fighting Taliban terrorist but insight of social media’s negative affect on war as well.

Luttrell is the only man out of four seals, including other eight seals who died trying rescue the team 10, who stayed alive. The Navy SEALs are extremely trained soldiers and they usually act in small groups of four men. Being a Navy SEAL is one of the hardest jobs and certainly one of the most dangerous. Although book starts by Marcus talking about his team on the plane over Afghanistan, then about himself and the rest of the team, and what he had been through to become a SEAL. Then goes back talking of what happened during the mission of Redwing, book is involving and really easy to read. Marcus is the team’s sniper and medic. He is from Texas, has twin brother Morgan. They both have similar physique, height of 6’5 and weight...

...The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: Summary & Analysis The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam presents an interesting challenge to any reader trying to sort through its heavy symbolism and not-so-obvious theme. Not only does the poem provide us with a compelling surface story, but a second look at the text can reveal a rich collection of seperate meanings hidden in the poem’s objective descriptions and sprawling narrative-which in the space of a few pages includes such disparate characters as the Moon, God, the Snake (and his traditional Christian neighborhood, Paradise), the “Balm of Life”, not to mention nearly every animal and sexual symbol the human mind can come up with. Obviously, on one level, the poem can present itself in a fairly straightforward manner in the vein of CARPE DIEM. In the third stanza, theauthor writes, “‘Open then the Door!/ You know how little while we have to stay,/ And, once departed, may return no more.” There’s several refrains to this throughout the poem, first in the seventh stanza: “Come, fill the cup. . ./ The Bird of Time has but a little way/ To flutter-and the bird is on the Wing.” The entire ninth stanza describes the summer month “that brings the Rose” taking “Jamshyd and Kaikobad away”, and so forth and so on ad nauseum. Again, in the fifty-third stanza: “You gaze To-Day, while You are You-how then/ Tomorrow, You when shall be You no more?” The poet seems to be in an incredible hurry to get this life going before some cosmic deadline comes due, and...
