...determined as a “gender” novel, because of the character’s fight for an alternative path for women, it must be realized how Kate Chopin addresses nature as an alternative escape from “good or evil.” According to Glotfelty, ecocriticism “shares the fundamental premise that human culture is connected to the physical world, affecting it and affected by it” (Glotfelty). The first connection between the physical world and The Awakening would be the fact that Edna is on an island. The island represents her physical body and mind stuck in one place. The island is described as, “a breeze blowing, choppy stiff wind that whipped water into froth. It fluttered the skirts of the two women (Edna and her friend) and kept them for a while engaged in adjusting, readjusting, tucking in, securing hair pins and hat pins” (Chopin p. 16). The importance of this description is that it shows the wind and water trying to distract the women from their traditional focus of “womanly concerns”. The women are so concerned with being viewed as saints that they ignore nature when it tries hard to persuade them to pay attention, to break free of society’s hold and walk into the ocean, to accept freedom outside of traditional categories....

...1. The three basic types of music heard in original scores during the silent film era, were adaptations, newly composed music, and arrangements. Adaptations of classical works are usually used in action and dramatic scenes and involve borrowing of a substantial portion of an existing composition for use in a film score. In The Birth of a Nation an example of adaptations was when a composition by Mozart was used for a scene that showed Lincoln’s assassination as well as for the ending of the entire movie. These music was used to portray the tension and violence in these scenes. Adaptations are the most prominent in the film. This type of music is meant to be very recognizable as well as well as true to the original piece. Newly composed music is music that is created to reflect themes that are highly specific to the storyline of the film. This new music is original and is created for the film. D.W. Griffith uses this time of music to create themes that run throughout the story and attach to specific characters and their role in the film. Themes can be altered throughout the film to reflect a change in the story or the mood. Arrangements are a new form of a previously composed melody. In an arrangement the film composer borrows the just the melody from a classic and creates an almost entirely new sound. In The Birth of a Nation, arrangements of well-known melodies are used to stir up emotions. Southern songs such as “Maryland, My Maryland”, “Old Folks at Home”, and “Dixie” remind...

...One High Court case that interp reted the Constitution in a way that impacted the law-making powers of the State and Commonwealth Part A 1. The article, feather’s fly over wind farm ban, is based on 52 wind turbines in the Gippsland area being banned due to the chance they may have an affect on a rare parrot species survival hopes. 2. This case is a sate area of law making it a residual power, as it lies in section 107 which says, any power not mentioned in the Constitution is automatically considered to be law-making areas of the state which relates to this issue. 3. The commonwealth may be able to stop the construction of the wind turbines as they have signed a treaty under the environment protection and biodiversity conservation act, which enables them to do so. 4. Senator Campbell stated he had decided to use the environment protection and biodiversity conservation act to block the wind farm because of the small possibility that it could cause up to one bird death per year and at this stage everything should be done to protect every bird. 5. Personally I think state parliament would win if this were taken to state parliament due to the simple fact that it is a residual area of law in which the commonwealth has no power over. But I do believe all precautions should be taken and that a ban should be placed. 6.

...Name: Tutor: Course: Date: Rhetorical analysis writing Pleasant point of view Immediately I arrived at the appointment spot I stood gazing at the view she would approach. Everything was live and encouraging including the caressing breeze from the palm trees near the small artificial beach. Behind the narrow tunnel, two pretty twin girls played their trumpets in such lulling rhythms that stole away the boredom of the park. They seemed to draw the attention of the music lovers as they easily shifted from tune to tune. The parrot picked the words and helped to amplify the popular classical compositions that everybody associated with in Indiana. Even the gardener in the flower bed extension realized the vivacity in the park, unlike her early morning hour. The rose, lily, and hibiscus flowers intermarried like formally wed couples that cited the parents for the good parenthood they had attained. She adjusted her helmet and radiantly gazed at the tunnel point a time when an oak tree danced shaking off its bright red, blue and orange canopy of leaves. The leaves fell from above like the rare rain in the semi-desert covering everything that the tree’s shade touched. It sent a spring of motion among the other hidden creatures including the white and black -spotted wild cats who whimpered and rolled over the blanket that had formed in their place. The horse neighed in a rather merry mood as the queue of children anxiously anticipated to take a ride that quantified the time spent...

...Little children slave all day Raising our plates of fruit. Great tortillas there Plus some beans but nothing more Give me more, Gimme. Volcano watching in Guatemala Now, for several months, the volcano Santiaguito outside my back door here in Quetzaltenango has been erupting at ever-increasing frequencies. I see it eight to ten times a day erupting. Day and night mean nothing to a volcano, especially after a million years. Santiaguito erupts with a mighty passion. Obscure white and grey clouds of dust and water and all those other minerals and elements blast upward from the white-hot magma. Showers of house-sized boulders fly out and create avalanches against the ashen virgin slopes of the growing mountain. The volcano grows faster than the wind can blow it away. Santiaguito is growing at a rate of eleven meters a year. It is the most active volcano in the world. In the azul mornings it erupts most violently. My alarm goes off at seven in the morning, and I get up reluctantly to look out at the volcano. It is erupting as usual, on time. I estimate ten million tons of debris each week. The excretia is the richest dirt on earth. It covers the scene. I have to wash it off my car every Saturday morning working with my ayudante Juan, who is twelve years old and the size of an eight-year old in the US. We wash the car together. I wash and clean the inside. He washes the runner boards and the tires. The volcano continues to explode and we dry the car and make it shiny. The earth in...
