...community over self. In the folktale “Women”, Chang values himself over community. Chang no longer went to work so he can stay at home with his wife. He was worried that if he went out another man would come and make love to her. One day, Chang went out to the village and met a man about fifty years old. Chang was unhappy about leaving his wife, so the stranger told him to bottle up his wife. Self interest over compassion. In the folktale “The Tinker and The Ghost”, Esteban dared to sleep in the castle on All Hallow Eve’s. If he were to complete his task the owner of the castle would give him a thousand gold reales. While he was eating, Esteban heard a voice from the chimney which said “oh me! “ The ghost wanted someone to stay in the castle so he can get his body back. He also wanted Esteban to give the copper coins to the church, the silver coins to the poor, and keep the gold coins for himself. When one is selfless the community values itself. In the folktale “The Warrior Maiden”, there was a young girl named Aliquipiso who was part of the Oneida people and wasn’t afraid to give up her life for people. Her job was to save her tribe from their enemies the Mingoes. During the night the warrior chief came and asked her to show him where her people were hiding. If she refused, she would be tortured. Aliquipso’s great courage and self sacrifice was retold wherever Oneida’s sat around the campfire. In several folktales there is a portrayal of community life in the folktales...

...in William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper” William Blake’s “The chimney sweeper” is narrated by a young boy who is a chimney- sweeper, who tells us about his childhood and his fellow workers. In this poem a contrast of dark and light is shown to give the readers a picture of reality and hope. This essay explores the different dimensions, which are significant in this poem. I will argue that the poet is making a contrast between the innocence and the corruption in today’s world by giving examples and by analyzing the poem thoroughly. In the first stanza the narrator shares his childhood story with the readers. He mentions that his mother died when he was very young and his father sold him even before he knew how to speak. “And my father sold me while yet my tongue, /could scarcely cry” (2-3), in this line the poetic device known as metonymy is used where the poet refers to the speakers voice but says tongue. By this line we understand that his father sold him even before he could cry or understand that he is being sold away. He says that since his father sold him he sweeps chimneys and sleeps in soot. It can be assumed that chimney- sweepers use the same cloth or blanket to sleep, which is used in the daytime to collet soot –“in soot I sleep.” Most of the chimney- sweepers who cleaned the chimney were young children as they were little and it is easy for them to crawl up and do cleaning work. Just like the narrator there was another young chimney- sweeper whose name was...

The festivities begin the night before at nightfall. The mother cooked a huge meal with the finest foods the family can afford. In front of the big, fancy tree are multiple boxes covered in colorful paper. When everything is ready, the family gathers around the tree to open these boxes. Each box contains something new and shiny, which is brought by the chimney wizard. A fat man in a red robe and hat with a long white beard wiggles down a narrow chimney left all of those boxes at the tree. The chimney wizard flies through the air, stopping at every home in the world to deliver these sparkly boxes through the chimney that land under the tree. As compensation for his deliveries, the chimney wizard is awarded with a plate of fresh baked cookies that he eats at every house. How the chimney...

...“The Chimney Sweeper” By William Blake Poetry Essay Debreshia Wright English 102 Professor Dr. Rockford Sansom Due 9/28/14 “The Chimney Sweeper” by William Blake, opens a door to show the reader how poor and lower class life was like in the 19th century. In the poem by Mr. William Blake “The Chimney Sweeper” the reader learns about the harsh child labor during the 19th century, the fate of a young child and this child belief in God. These young children had a hard life to lead but through this poem you see how these children were able to escape in there thought of heaven. During the 19th century child labor was a normal way of life. It was so much more important to bring home wages than to get educated. Most families were so poor they had to send the children out at very young ages to help gain wages. Mr. Blake expresses this when he says “...my father sold me...” the child narrator was sold in to what seems to be child slavery. In the poem as the child said “yet my tongue could scarcely cry weep, weep…” it refers to the child not being able to speak clearly to say sweep. This child fate appears to have been sealed when his mother died; it also appears the child would make his father appear cruel and unloving. Because the child says “my father sold me...” it does not state my father sent me to work. This poem has a sense of sadness in the beginning, until the child narrator being to talk to Tom. Tom was having his hair shaved off and I am...

...living the lives his works vicariously told, but once his time period ended, a historical book was left behind. The theme of a struggle is most prominently showcased in Blake’s poetry. Whether it be Blake depicting women and their power struggle throughout the 18th or 19th century, or depicting the lives of the children put into the labor force at a very early age. These children were put in a tunnel (almost literally when they worked in the chimneys), where there was no light at the end, this path had one and only one destination: death. The symbolism in Blake’s poetry accurately reflects the cruel conditions of child labor and the environment of hostility in which these children lived and breathed every day, what the church meant in society in the 18th century, and the family dynamics. Clearly marking its importance by publishing multiple items on the subject, William Blake composed two poems about children working in the chimney sweeps both titled “The Chimney Sweeper”. The transition of emotions from the first “The Chimney Sweeper” to the second demonstrates an evolution from purity to exposure (Mayhew 1), which correlates directly to the title of the book in which these poems were published, “ Songs of Innocence and Experience.” Blake’s poetry appears to be detailed to a point where one begins to feel the emotions these people did, if only we could imagine. The vivid images he paints strike as surprising upon learning his background. William Blake had a limited...

...is made to prepare Al-B4C composites cast using stainless steel and cast iron chills in a colplete adiabatic system. The microstrucutre and micro-hardness of the chill cast specimens are analyzed and reported. It is observed that the chill material has a significant influence on the microstructure and properties of the cast specimens. Finner structure and better mechanical properties were observed with the specimen cast using stainless-steel chill whereas cast iron chill gave rise to coarse structure with reduces mechanical properties. INTRODUCTION Engineering Materials There are more than 50,000 materials available to engineers for the design and manufacturing of products for various applications. These materials range from copper, cast iron, brass, which have been available for so many years, to the more recently developed advanced materials such as composites, ceramics and high-performance steels.

...Platinum Chain Making Tino Volpe • TIFFANY & CO. History The definition of chain is as simple as interlocking links of metal. If the metal happens to be precious metal, then we consider the chain jewelry. In preparing for this paper, I began my research with the understanding that finding information on chain making, especially historical information, would be a fairly simple task. However, after looking through old copies of jewelry history books, surfing the internet, and interviewing people with a long history in the industry, I arrived at the conclusion that the history of chain making is either a well kept secret or just not of much interest to anyone. Precious metal chain for jewelry has been around for a long time. Basically when man first began working extensively with gold back in Neolithic times he found that certain metals, most notably pure gold, were extremely ductile and could be hammered and stretched to a great degree. With the invention of wire, man could now take something rigid like metal and turn it into something flexible like chain. Chain making has always been, up until the middle of the 18th century, a labor-intensive time consuming hand operation. It was a well-versed art and most books on jewelry will demonstrate basic techniques on making chain by hand. Before automated wire drawing machines, the craftsman had to hammer down and pull metal through succeeding smaller dies to form thin wire. Once the wire was pulled down to the needed diameter...

...Flexible PVC ... sometimes called simply "vinyl" ... has additives like octyl phthalate (which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) that keep the polymer swollen and flexible. What elements are electrical wiring made out of? Answer: Almost all electrical wiring is made of copper. For larger sizes to keep the cost of the installation down the wire used is aluminum. Sometimes the copper wire is tinned with solder, and sometimes there is some silver in it. ==== For over 100 years utility companies have been using aluminum wire in their power grids. It has advantages over copper wire in that it is lighter, more flexible, and less expensive. Aluminium wire in power grid applications was very successful and is still used today. Wiring in homes and buildings is another matter. In the '60s when the price of copper skyrocketed, aluminum wire was manufactured in sizes small enough to be used in homes. Aluminium wire requires a larger wire gauge than copper to carry the same current. For example, a standard 15 A branch circuit wired with No. 14 gauge copper requires No. 12 gauge aluminum. When first used in branch circuit wiring, aluminum wire was not installed any differently than copper, and many of these connections failed due to bad connection techniques and dissimilar metals. These connection failures generated heat under electrical load and resulted in overheated connections. Most metals oxidize when exposed to air. Aluminium oxide is an electrical insulator...

Most were minted in Madrid, marked with a superscripted M or in Seville bearing an S below and left of the Royal Coat of Arms. The mintmaster's initials appeared on the opposite side. ------------------------------------------------- Silver escudo[edit] The second escudo was the currency of Spain between 1864 and 1869. It was subdivided into 100 céntimos de escudo. The escudo replaced the real at a rate of 10 reales = 1 escudo. It was itself replaced by the peseta, at a rate of 2½ pesetas = 1 escudo, when Spain joined the Latin Monetary Union. The later silver escudo was worth one quarter of the earlier, gold escudo. Coins[edit] Copper coins were issued in denominations of ½, 1, 2½ and 5 céntimos de escudo, with silver 10, 20 and 40 céntimos de escudo, 1 and 2 escudos, and gold 2, 4 and 10 escudos.

...metallic copper going through a number of chemical reactions that result in a number of different compounds before the copper returns to its original metallic form. The objective of the experiment includes becoming familiar with standard laboratory practices used to separate and purify products and the concept of percent recovery. The objective was also to balance and classify the different reactions involved in the cycle and to identify and write the formula unit, total ionic and net ionic equations for the precipitation and acid-base reactions in this experiment. The first reaction that occurred was when a piece of copper was added to a solution of HNO3. This resulted in a green solution that let off brown fumes. These brown fumes were from the oxidation of the copper and left a clear blue solution. The next reaction occurred when 30.0 mL of 3.0M NaOH was added. This caused the clear blue solution to turn into a bright blue, gelatinous solution. This was caused by the addition of the base, which resulted in the precipitation of the copper hydroxide. Heat was added to the solution, which caused the hydrogen to leave, and the solution to form a black precipitate. Fourthly, the addition of H2SO4 caused the solution the solution to turn into a clear light blue solution, copper sulfate. Lastly, when the Al was added to the solution the solution turned red and fizzed and turned clear. This was caused by the reduction of the copper cations by the Al to yield metallic copper.
