...In our presentation we are going to discuss Citing Periodical Print Publication (Magazine). But before we start we need to know what is periodical, which things can be called periodicals and what do we understand by magazine. Periodical: A publication issued at regular intervals, usually monthly or weekly. * Daily Newspapers * Monthly Magazines * Bi-Monthly (Two Months) * Quarterly (Every three months) * Semi-Annual (Every Six months) Magazine: Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. Example: McEvoy, Dermot. “Little Books, Big Success.” Publishers Weekly 30 Oct. 2006: 26-28 Print. Citing an article in a magazine using MLA: To cite a magazine published every week or every two weeks, we have to give the full date followed by a colon, the inclusive page numbers of the article and the medium of publication consulted. If the article is not printed on consecutive pages, we have to write only the first page number with a plus (+) sign, leaving no intervening space. We...

...Fall - A Time Transition The fall season has many meanings for me. It is a time of transition that takes us from warm balmy days to the more harsh weather of winter. It's a time that takes us from the spectacle of nature in full bloom, to nature in hibernation. The signs of this transition are everywhere. The vivid colors of summer fade away, the color of the sky changes from deep blue to gray. The green fades from the grass and plants lose their blossoms. The leaves on the trees turn color, and lose their grip. Insects disappear. It's the tune of year that signifies the end of summer and vacations. No more picnics, swimming, baseball, tennis, and a myriad of other activities that most of us enjoy in the outdoors. It signals that during the next few months we will have to endure weather conditions that are not conducive to spending quality time outdoors enjoying nature. The knowledge of this seasonal period of transition awakens, in me, a more keen awareness of my surroundings than at any other time of year. The deeper appreciation comes from knowing that the good weather days are coming to an end. The fall season conjures up all sorts of analogies in my mind. For example, football and basketball games are divided into four quarters, a dollar is divided by four quarters, the calendar year is divided into four quarters, and the human life span might also be divided into four 20 year parts, assuming that we live an average of 80 years. In all these examples, the third period precedes...

...The Demand: Consumer Preferences I observed people changing their cloths as long as the weather or season changes. However, why couldn’t they wear warm cloths such as winter jacket, gloves, snow boots, etc. all year long? Otherwise, why would people look at me as if I were nuts or sick when I wore a very warm jacket and snowshoes in hot summer days? Therefore, weather or season changing has a great influence on consumer’s preferences on a particular good. In addition, it can relate to one of the determinants of demand that cause a shift in the demand curve. For example, in winter, people are highly interested to wear or buy very warm clothes than in summer. Therefore, when people feel cold, the demand for warm cloths is increasing, which mean that the demand curve is going to shift out. However, in Summer, people feel hot so their interests in warm cloths is going to decrease , which leads to a shift in of the demand curve. Another example of the impact of weather changing on consumer preferences is the use of means of transportation. In very snowy days, people are demanding more to ride a bus or a car than to walk, but in nice weather such as in late spring, people are less interested in using means of transportation.so the demand for the use of means of transportation increases in snowy days that make the demand curve to shift out. While in very nice weather, people take advantage of the weather so they prefer to walk. With that, the demand for using means of transportation...

...remembers she once had lovers but she cannot recall them individually. Now she is alone left with only regret: for the unremembered faces of her past, for the passing of her youth, and for the loneliness of her life now. The speaker regrets her inability to remember “What lips [her] lips have kissed” (Line 1). No special man or moment comes to her mind. Her memories of her former glory days haunt her. Although she cannot recall any of her lovers in particular, she hears them as she listens to the rain; unclear faces in her mind like “ghosts…that tap and sigh / Upon the glass” (ll. 3-4). Her heart aches for the “unremembered lads” that had once shared her bed. (l.7). She regrets her youth is now behind her. She compares herself to the seasons with her youth as “summer” (l.13) which is warm and green. Now she is in the time of “winter” (l.9), stark, bleak, and dreary. Those days when she was young and carefree she thought would last forever; but looking back, they seemed to have lasted only “a little while”(14). The speaker is alone: “In winter stands the lonely tree” (l.9). She cannot remember “What loves have come and gone” (l.12). She did not find that one special person to share her life with and all the “birds have vanished one by one” (l.10). She once had many lovers: “what arms have lain / Under my head till morning” (ll.2-3); but now she is lonely and sad that never again will she have someone “turn to [her] at midnight” (l.8). In Edna St. Vincent Millay’s...

...就文体学角度简析《西风颂》 【摘要】浪漫主义盛行于欧洲18世纪末以及19世纪初。雪莱的《西风颂》是一首脍炙人口、含蕴深刻的写景名篇。雪莱借西风这一形象表达了对现实社会的不满，渴望改变现实，追求自由。追求理想、渴望新时代来临的强烈情感，堪称文学史上浪漫主义的经典之作。本文首先以音韵和停顿分析全诗的特征;其次在词汇层面该诗运用了明喻、暗喻和拟人的修辞方法使虚幻的形象变得更加具体生动,平淡的词语变得具有强烈的感染力;最后从句法层面通过对诗中倒装、重复和反问句的结构分析,使我们更加清楚形式和内容之间的关系。 【关键词】 文体学 《西风颂》 韵律 1.引言 浪漫主义盛行在一个新旧历史交替的时代，其文化价值观念总体上属于近代人文主义范畴。浪漫主义强调自我，强调追求自由，它是在反古典主义的斗争中发展起来的。而雪莱的这首写于1819年的《西风颂》，正是成为这一时期璀璨的一颗星。在一场暴风骤雨的自然景象的触发下，难以抑制的革命激情立刻冲出胸膛，一泻千里，化作激昂慷慨的歌唱。这首诗可以说是诗人“骄傲、轻捷而不驯的灵魂”的自白，是时代精神的写照。而从文体的角度来说，本诗也有着自身独特的魅力，几百年来为世人津津乐道。 韵律 《西风颂》共有五大诗节，每大节由四个三行诗何一个双行对偶句组成。诗人采用了五步抑扬格的韵律：aba,bcb,cdc.ded,ee。这种韵律抑扬顿挫，十分富有乐感。除了尾韵外，全诗大量地使用了头韵，如“O Wild West Wind”“where,winged,within”等,都以半元音为首韵/ 停顿 “一切语言和各种文体都有停顿。然而，诗歌中的停顿比散文更加明显、更加有系统、英语的停顿与诗歌的行数和节拍密切相关。”本诗中运用了大量的“中间休止”[ 王佐良，丁往道，英语文体学引论[M],北京:外语教学与研究出版社,1999(12)]，如 O Wild West Wind,thou breath of Autumn’s being, Thou,from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven,like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, 这种停顿减缓了诗的节奏,突出西风磅礴威严之势。 修辞手法 4.1明喻 本诗多处采用明喻,如“Each like a corpse within its grave”,“loose clouds like Earth’s decaying leaves are shed”,“Oh!Lift me as a leaf,a cloud!”等,分别很明确地把主体比作是坟墓中的尸体,满地的枯叶和波浪。 4.2暗喻 The locks of the approaching storm(把云层比作发怒的酒神),I fall upon the thorns of life!(把生活的磨难比作荆棘)The trumpet of a prophecy!(把西风比作号角) 4.3拟人 本诗把西风拟人化,把它称作“秋的生命”、“春季的姊妹”、“狂野的精灵”、“破坏者和保护者”，这些形象充分地表现出西风狂放不羁的性格和强大的生命力。 句法结构 5.1倒装 Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed/The winged seeds,where they lie cold and...

...A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight. Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. The seasons result from the Earth's axis being tilted to its orbital plane; it deviates by an angle of approximately 23.4 degrees. Thus, at any given time during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun. This exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit. Therefore, at any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons. The effect of axis tilt is observable from the change in day length, and altitude of the Sun at noon (the culmination of the Sun), during a year. Summer: Summer is the warmest of the four temperate seasons. Summer is the warmest season of the year when the sun shines directly on one half of the world. Usually, July and August are the hottest months of the summer season. Crops, trees, and other plants reach their full maturity in summer. Summer is traditionally associated with hot dry weather, but this does not occur in all regions. Summer is one of the seasons of a year which is the warmest. It falls between the seasons of spring and autumn. Summer is generally known to be the season which has the hottest and longest days in a year. The summer nights are usually smaller than those of winter. It is a very good season...

...seasonal cycle. The rhapsodies of emanation of new lives and the bursting of lilacs to their fullest of blooms, the gleaming sunshine and the vibrant sonata of the birds; cumulatively seek to quench the thirsty heart of a love-sucked hart like me! Who, in this unfolding of the symphony of spring, is such an imbecile as not to be enraptured by the wizardry of “Two Tramps in Mud time” by Robert Frost, or not to be enthralled by the pensive T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land”, or not to be enamoured by the soft baritone of Nat King Cole’s “Love is an April rose that grows in the early spring”? In this Arcadian backdrop, I was listening to Vivaldi’s seminal composition, “Four Seasons”. The classical concertos, each brilliantly portraying the four essential seasons, “Spring”, “Summer”, “Fall” and “Winter”. As I was ruminating on the opening notes of the piece on “Spring”, I felt that I have been greeted coldly by the winter of despair more often than that of the spring of hope. Was I being unnecessarily cynical? Could it be that I was cocooned in a cobweb of an overblown sense of self-importance so much so that I had turned pretty petulant at the herald of any misfortune that befell me? What if that shroud of ‘winter’ that I had thought about my misfortune, was actually responsible in recasting me into a more mature and self-reliant individual? Pondering about all these questions, I suddenly realized that the music had almost come to an end with the final notes...

...Central Garden is made of quantities of azaleas, it attracts a number of tourists from all over the world to appreciate its beauty and magnificence. Irwin wants to create the art of light and space, using ephemeral materials such as scrim, lighting and orientation to alter and heighten the viewers' perception of the space in which they encountered his work (artbabble.org). That’s why he chose to use azaleas to set up the sculpture. One reason why Robert Irwin has chosen azaleas to build the sculpture is that the theme of the garden is the harmony of nature. This concept can be reflected well through putting the azaleas models on the surface of the water pool. The other reason is that the azaleas can show the features of the four natural seasons through the change of colors. Irwin began his career as an abstract expressionist; however, by the late 1960s he had moved away from painting to become one of the creators of the art (artbabble.org). Based on the background of Robert Irwin, I believe that Central Garden is an abstract work. The Central Garden was planned to be built up as the most important part of the Getty Center. 500 kinds or more of plants have been added to the garden to show the theme “Always changing, never twice the same” which is stated by Robert Irwin (getty.edu). What’s more, Central Garden has been connected to the...

...themselves as individuals who stood apart from the crowd. Many had been interested in Porsche, as a brand, since they were teenagers. Porsche owner were interested in Porsche’s Great legacy of technical excellence and high performance. These customers typically began thinking about purchasing a Porsche once their income exceeded $100,000 a year.In Canada, a Porsche was typically a second or third vehicle in the family. It was seen as a luxury item and was well maintained with frequent washings and waxing so to drive them during winter with all the snow sand/salt it’s impossible move for most owner. Some Porsche owner are worried about resale price, most second hand car in Canada with a “summer-driven only “ usually offer a better price than all season Driven car. The reason why Porsche should sale winter equipment its because most place in Canada are getting snow, we can see on the chart most of the Porsche owner bought Cayenne (which is Sport SUV) , when you buy the Car in Canada most of the car come with summer set of equipment floor mat and etc. During winter time usually every Car will switch to snow tires and possible change rims, and most of the driver like to purchase winter floor mat to keep the interior of the car clear, and reduce the chance to erosion, and of course Roof racks can be use for putting snowboard and ski on the type of the Car. Even though the price doesn’t...

...of the year we see different constellations as the earth rotates. Some things that we see regularly throughout the year in the northern hemisphere are the circumpolar stars like the north star and those contained in the big and little dipper. One thing that I find to be quite fascinating is that the earth actually wobbles like a top, although it is unrecognizable to us because it occurs very slowly. I was surprised to learn that the sun was once part of the constellation cancer a few thousand years ago, but now it has become part of the Gemini constellation. Gravity itself is an amazing magnetic pull. Every year we also regularly experience seasons as the earth rotates, but one thing that surprised me was to learn that even in the lower hemisphere it is still called the Summer solstice although it is winter there, mainly because the seasons were named from astronomers in the northern hemisphere. Another irregular thing that we experience on earth is an eclipse. I have always found eclipses fascinating and don’t remember seeing a total solar eclipse since I was in high school. Although they do occur on earth often they are only visible in certain areas of the world depending on moons position and the earth’s rotation. Another thing that I have always found to be pretty neat is when you can see the moon in the sky on a clear...

...Melina Hernandez English 101, 39339 20 September 2015 Fall, A.K.A, the Best Season Imagine waking up and walking outside and hearing the crunch of leaves beneath your feet and smelling the crisp fresh and cool air. Fall makes me so happy and I am anxious for it to come every single year. Everything during fall is absolutely wonderful, I love it! Some of the best times that I have had in my life, oddly occurred during the fall season; and I sometimes wonder if that may be part of the reason(s) that I cherish it so much. Fall is such a beautiful and blissful season; it is the best season of the year. Fall is so wonderful mainly because of the beautiful scenery it displays. Here in Arizona, the summers are very hot and dry, and it almost feels dreadful at times; but the fall here is absolutely beautiful. You can start to notice the transition into fall around mid- September because the mornings are sort of wet from the precipitation and you can feel the cool air gently fan across your whole entire body. Not only that, but later in September, the leaves start to turn into the beautiful array of sunburst orange, medallion yellow and cherry red, and when the leaves start to fall onto the cold hard ground, you can feel and hear the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet. The cool air is so crisp and refreshing; you can feel the slight wind of the cool air tingle your cheeks lightly. The weather is not to cold and not too warm, it is just the perfect measure of both. It is lovely. Not...

...think that nature should be appretiated a lot more for all to enjoy and be a part of. Nature can be both a wonderful and terrible thing, and we all have the power to make a positive or negative impact on it. Nature isn’t constantly the same due to changes in weather. As the year goes by, so do the seasons. A season is a subdivision of the year, and there are four subdivisions in a year. The seasons are based on the rotation of the earth around the sun. As the earth revolves around the sun, it gets closer and then farther, resulting in hot and cold weather throughout the year. Each season lasts 3 months and the temperature gradually changes in-between. Spring is when slightly warm weather comes through, during this time, the plants begin to bloom. During summer the earth is closest to the sun making it the hottest time of the year. This also brings more hours daylight. Fall is when the earth starts to pull away from the sun. During this time the weather starts to get cold and the leaves fall from their trees. Winter time is the coldest time of the year, the earth is far from the sun at this point. Nighttime hours are longer than daytime, and also comes the chance of snow. As seasons come and go, so do the activities that people enjoy doing. During the spring, people are excited for upcoming events since the weather will not be cold anymore. Going out for a walk through a trail would be best at this point. Summer is when people enjoy most of what nature has to offer. Since it is...
