Can someone help me find quotes that relate to nobility in Huck Finn?

There are a few ways to look at this question. While on
the river, Huck and Jim run into two con men, who call themselves the Duke and the
Dauphin (King). These men pretend to be nobility, but "these liars warn't no kings nor
dukes, at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds." The Duke and King are the furthest
thing from real nobility, but they play the part, "All I say is, kings is kings, and you
got to make allowances. Take them all around, they're a mighty ornery lot. It's the way
they're raised." (chapter 23)

However, the real noble
characters in this book are Huck and Jim. Huck decides to help his friend even though he
himself might be damned for doing so, "I was a-trembling, because I'd got to decide,
forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my
breath, and then says to myself:All right, then, I'll GO to hell." (Chapter
30)

Huck helps his friend escape, not because its the right
thing to do (he believes that it is wrong, based on what he has been taught) but because
he just can't bring himself to turn in his friend. It is an innate instinct in Huck that
he must do what he can for his friend, regardless of consequences. Jim, in turn, cares
for Huck and helps him throughout their journey. 

Another
quote that I think illustrates nobility or noble behavior on Huck's behalf is when he
watches the Duke and King get tarred and feathered. Even though the Duke and King were
such terrible human beings and were mean to Huck, Huck didn't believe they deserved such
a terrible death.

"Well, it made me sick to see it; and I was sorry
for them poor pitiful rascals, it seemed like I couldn't ever feel any hardness against
them any more in the world. It was a dreadful thing to see. Human beings can be awful
cruel to one another." (chap
33)

Another instance of noble
behavior/not-noble behavior you may want to look at is the lynch mob scene in chapter
22. In this scene a man named Boggs threatens a gentleman named Sherburn. Sherburn warns
him to leave peaceably and Boggs doesn't, so Sherburn shoots him. The lynch mob forms to
lynch Sherburn, but Sherburn talks them down:

"Your newspapers call you a brave people so much
that you think you are braver than any other people-- whereas you're just as brave, and
no braver. Why don't your juries hang murderers? Because they're afraid the man's
friends will shoot them in the back, in the dark -- and it's just what they WOULD
do."

He challenges the notion
of "Southern justice" and chastises the crowd for being followers and getting caught up
in a mob mentality. 

Hope this gives you some things to
think about!

Information on abolition movement.

This is a very broad question.  You could get a better
answer if you asked a more specific question.

The abolition
movement in the United States was not very strong and not very popular.  Most people,
including Northerners, did not believe in abolishing
slavery.

The movement really got started in the 1830s, due
largely to a wave of reforms that started up in that era.  Some major names in the
movement were William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, Lydia Maria Child and the
Grimke sisters.

The abolition movement never really had
much of an impact on government policy.  They did, however, manage to help quite a few
slaves escape from the South.  Their main legacy, however, is that they spoke up against
an evil system when hardly anyone was doing so.

Why is George Milton found guilty for his role in the death of Lennie Small in Of Mice and Men.George Milton is guilty of first degree murder but...

George pulled the trigger with intention to kill. He
considered what he had to do (retrieve a gun, find Lennie in the exact location he knew
Lennie would be in, and position Lennie to be ready to be shot). He had a good
intention, but it was an intention to kill. We know this because he shot Lennie in the
back of the head, told him the story of having a little place and living off the fat of
the land, and he made Lennie as comfortable as he could for the moment of death. This is
kind gesture, but it demonstrated to us as readers careful planning. That makes it
murder.

If the charge was manslaughter, it would be on
accident. There was no accident here, it was purposeful. Sometimes murder can be in the
second or third degree. These are in cases of defending one's self or someone else, or
being not as sane as one normally is.

I think he knew
exactly what he was doing, this makes it first degree.

In Moby Dick, how does Melville develop Captain Ahab's complex character?

Ahab is developed slowly throughout the book, given that
he doesn't even appear physically until around the middle chapters.  He begins as a
force of nature, Melville describes him as being indomitable, as being willing to do
anything to seek his revenge on the creature.  The reader at first sees this as his
great power, though there are hints of the somewhat more broken character of the
man.

As the plot progresses and Ahab begins to descend into
more of a madness, it becomes clear that as he descends, he is more and more a weak man
being driven by an obsession, rather than a powerful man seeking some kind of revenge. 
He is controlled rather than controlling, representing somewhat of a reversal of his
role.  In actuality this was always the case, but Melville takes his time revealing
this.

In what ways did Lyndon Johnson improve life for Americans through his Great Society?

Most of what Lyndon Johnson did through the Great Society
was meant to help poor people.  So a lot of people who are not poor got no direct
benefits from the Great Society.

For example, some of the
most high profile programs were Head Start, which is preschool for poor kids, Medicaid,
which is health care for poor people, and general welfare programs, which are, of
course, for poor people.

So LBJ helped improve the lives
(you can argue) of poor people through programs like the three I just mentioned.  I
would say that most middle class people were not directly
affected.

In what way is Oedipus a better man (though less fortunate) at the end of Oedipus Rex?

There is no one right way to answer this question, but it
is possible to say a few things. First, he is a better man, because of all his
sufferings and hardship. Usually a person who goes through a lot learns much. The school
of suffering educates well. In Oedipus' case, he probably would not gotten to where he
is at the end of play apart from suffering. Second, we can say that Oedipus by the end
of the play really knows what he has done and who he is. The self-knowledge is a true
sign of maturity. Before this he was living a life that was filled with lies or
half-truths. From a literary perspective, even though he is now blind, he truly
sees.

What is the exposition, complication (rising action), climax, anti-climax, and denouement of The Death of Ivan Ilyich?

Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan
Illych follows the following plot
outline:

Exposition:
We see Ivan's life as "climbing a ladder."  He's a "cog in
a machine," a good member of a Czarist Russian bourgeoisie, getting married, having
children--but totally unhappy, spiritually
unfulfilled.

Complication:
We realize he's dying spiritually.  We realize that he's
been living a life based only on social expectations, an unfulfilled life, never
developing meaningful relationships with family or friends.  It's all about money,
status, possessions.

Turing point:
He falls while CLIMBING A LADDER and HANGING
DRAPES, symbolic that his life has been a climbing of the rungs of the social ladder.
 There's a shift in the verb tense from past to present.
Death becomes real. Life is being lived for
the first time, ironically, in
death.

Anti-climax / falling
action: the doctors and his friends are no help; they only make suffering
worse.

Resolution: Ivan must
come to terms with the fact that his senseless life caused
his ridiculous
death.

Denouement: Tolstoy
presents his worldview:

• Ivan must let go of all
  justification of his life.


• He has a major
  revelation


• He starts to feel universal compassion for
  people whom he had been hating.


• He dies content--this
  compassion sets him free from the hate, jealousy, and pettiness that had been holding
  him back.


• The moral center of the work is
  the servant, Gerásim, a member of the peasant
  class


• This works as a metaphor for
  Tolstoy's brand of Christianity

I want to have a summary of "The Three Day Below" by Hemingway

Hemingway's "Three Day Blow" is one of his stories that
exhibits the "iceberg effect":  there is much more beneath the surface than what is in
the narrative.  Nick Adams and his friend Bill are in the hunting cabin of Bill's father
as they wait out an autumn storm known as the "three-day blow."  As they drink whisky
from Bill's father's cabinet, the boys first discuss baseball, but their discussion
moves to fishing, a more authentic activity that a man can do alone.  On their second
drink of whisky, the boys discuss writers; Bill feels that Horace Walpole is a better
writer than G.K.Chesterton, whom Nick says is a classic.

As
the evening progresses, the boys decide to get drunk.  Nick decides to prove that he can
control himself even if he is drunk because it bothers him that his physician is a
tee-totaler.  Nick says, "It all evens up," and they sit looking into the fire "and
thinking of this profound truth."  Bill tells Nick he will get another bottle while Nick
offers to procure more water.  On his way back to the living room, Nick sees his
reflection in a mirror and "it grinned back at him."  Somehow the face looks
different.

The boys' discussion moves to Nick's having
broken up with Marge, his girlfriend.  Bill tells him he is lucky because once a man's
married, he loses his independence:  "He's done for."  He tells Nick that he is better
off for not having married her.  As the liquor dies out of him, Nick feels
that

It was
all gone....Just like the three-day blows come now and rip all the leaves off the
trees. 

The boys go outside
where the "Marge business ws no longer so tragic...

readability="6">

The wind blew everything like that away....The
wind blew it out of his head.  Still he could always go into town Saturday night.  It
was a good thing to have in
reserve.

In his youthfulness,
Nick does not feel is anything irrevocable.  But for Bill the solitary life is one in
which a man can guard against himself and not lose control over his
destiny.

In Shakespeare's tragic play Othello, does Othello suffer from morbid jealousy?

In Othello, Othello's
jealousy takes many forms.  Here are three uses of "jealous" and their implications in
the play:

1.  "feeling or showing envy of someone or their
achievements and advantages"

Even though he outranks Cassio
and Iago and has a more beautiful wife, Othello shows signs of envy.  As a black man in
a white world, as a former Muslim in a Christian world, and as an older military man in
a young civilian world, Othello suffers from an inferiority complex based on social
mores and racial codes.

2.  "feeling or showing suspicion
of someone's unfaithfulness in a relationship"

Since his is
an "honor culture" that supports the male and devalues the female, Othello sets his
relationship up to fail by giving her the handkerchief, expecting her to lock it under
key (by being submissive and quiet).

3. "fiercely
protective or vigilant of one's rights or
possessions"

Othello wants exclusivity with Desdemona: if
he can't have her quiet, dutiful, and virginal, then no one will.  His strangling her is
an honor killing--the way a vengeful father or brother kills an unfaithful woman so as
not to soil the family name.  In the end, Othello equates Desdemona as a status symbol:
they rise and fall together.

What has the reader learned from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?I am unsure of what to write about....maybe we learn that we should not love a...

Let us examine your statement:  "Maybe we learn that we
should not love a person so much so that the relationship can last longer?"  This
statement underscores precisely the theme of one of Friar Laurence's didactic speeches. 
In Act II, Friar Laurence instructs Romeo,

readability="23">

These violent delights have violent
ends,

And in their triumph die, like fire and
powder

Which as they kiss consume.  The sweetest
honey

Is loathsome in his own
deliciousness

And in the taste confounds the
appetite.

Therefore, love moderately, long love doth
so,

Too swift arrives, as tardy as too slow.
(9-15)

Clearly, your
statement touches upon the response in the previous post; that is--to use academic
language--the theme of impetuosity.  For, this theme is prevalent throughout the play as
almost every character exhibits irrational haste, even the Friar himself as, in fear, he
runs from Juliet's tomb leaving her alone.  So, stay with your original idea and develop
it, since often our initial reactions to a literary work are
intuitively accurate.

As you look for support, consider the
hasty actions of Lords Montague and Capulet as in cholera, they wish to duel in the
streets of Verona even though they know that such actions are against the law. 
Likewise, Mercutio and Tybalt engage in heated words and impetuous actions, along with
Romeo, who hastily intervenes--albeit meaning well--and causes Mercutio to be gravely
injured. 

Most impetuous of all, Romeo wishes to marry
Juliet immediately because their erotic love is a "violent delight" that they wish to
satisfy.  The tragic end to their love is due to this haste.  Indeed, how often the
satisfaction of one's erotic feelings prevents the development of a lasting relationship
in real life. Studies have shown that if couples will really get to know each other over
time, they will develop a more meaningful and lasting relationship, one which can
withstand conflicts and difficulties.  (For support, you may wish to do some research on
this last idea as magazines have featured such articles.) At any rate, time and time
again throughout the play, poor choices because of haste are more the cause of the
tragedy than the cursed fate.

What are the different types of love in Romeo and Juliet, and how does love change in different characters throughout the play?

Romeo and Juliet begins with the love
of revenge, if that's a love.  The Capulet and Montague servants and households cannot
wait for their enemies to bait them toward violence.

When
Romeo and Juliet meet, we have infatuation (puppy love) and love at first sight.  This
is the destructive love which leads to their hasty marriage and deaths.  It is a
passion-only love, and Romeo and Juliet forget consequences, responsibility, law, and
common sense by expressing it.  Later, on their honeymoon night together, Romeo and
Juliet consummate their love physically
(eros).

Friar Lawrence wants to
express brotherly love (philea) between the families.  This is why
he marries the couple secretly, in hopes that their love will smooth over the love of
revenge.

The Prince loves the law, and he tries to uphold
it by threats of punishment, but it is to no avail.

Lord
and Lady Capulet love obedience in their daughter.  They love throwing parties.  They
love their high status in Verona.

The Nurse loves Juliet,
and at first she wants to make her happy regardless of social propriety.  But she later
sides with Lady Capulet in demanding Juliet marry Paris.  So, in the end, the Nurse
loves the obedient daughter as well.

The play ends with
love of peace, a reconciliation.  Lord Capulet erects a statue of pure gold to honor
Lady Montague, and the two families bury their hate (love of
revenge).

Describe the part of In the time of the Butterflies when the Mirabel sisters were in prison and what happened out of prison?

In the book In the Time of the
Butterflies the two sisters Minerva and Mate were arrested and locked up in a
small cell with other women.  Several of the women were political prisoners like the
Mirabel sisters but many of the others were prostitutes.  There was also a woman who had
tried to get her child back by threatening to kill someone who had her
child.

Everyday Minerva would hold school except on
Sunday.  They would discuss the revolution and how to behave.  When they pardoned
several people they offerred a pardon to the Mirabel sisters but they refused.  Minerva
said that if she had nothing to be pardoned for because she had done nothing wrong, then
she could not give in to be pardoned.

In the prison the
women were very hungry, on several occasions Minerva was placed in solitary confinement
for acting out, and Mate was beaten and physically abused.  They had one male prison
guard who tried to be kind to them and brought them smuggled in packages and even some
blue hair ribbon for Mate.

When the UN investigators came
around to assess the way the political prisoners were being treated, they even fed the
girls chicken and rice in the prison.  The guards were afraid that the girls would
report them as having been inhumane.  Mate hides a note in her hair telling them what
grievances she had because of the mistreatment.

Both women
were realtively broken when they left the hospital, but they hid it
well.

What hope does Banquo maintain in Act 3, scene 1?

Here's the passage you ask about from Act 3.1 in
Shakespeare's Macbeth:

readability="34">

Thou hast it now--King, Cawdor, Glamis,
all

As the Weird Women promised, and I
fear

Thou played'st most foully for't.  Yet it was
said

It should not stand in thy
posterity,

But that myself should be the root and
father

Of many kings.  If there come truth from
them--

As upon thee, Macbeth, their speeches
shine--

Why, by the verities on thee made
good,

May they not be my oracles as
well,

And set me up in hope?  But hush, no more.  (Act
3.1.1-10)

Banquo's hope is,
unfortunately, tied up with his suspicions.  He knows about the witches' predictions,
which makes him suspicious of Macbeth.  This makes him a danger to the new
king. 

But the same witches that predict Macbeth will be
king, also predict Banquo's heirs will be king.  This is Banquo's
hope. 

Banquo is a bit ambitious, as Macbeth is.  He would
like to keep his name at the forefront of Scotland's leadership, and he would like to
have his sons be kings.  This is important in the context of the play because Banquo
serves as a foil to Macbeth.  Faced with a similar situation, though Banquo would like
to see the predictions fulfilled, he is not willing to go to the lengths that Macbeth is
to make them come true.   

After the war, do the states follow restoration or reconstruction?

After the Civil War, the Southern states tried to pursue
the goal of restoration.  Meanwhile, the national government tried to force them towards
reconstruction.

During the time that Reconstruction was
going on (up to 1877), the states were following reconstruction to a greater or lesser
degree.   The governments that were kept in power by the Army were interested in
reconstruction while everyone else (more or less) was trying to prevent
it.

Once Reconstruction ended, the whole South turned
towards restoration and tried to get back as close as possible to how things had been
before the war.

What was the main problem in The Tale of Despereaux and what things made the problem difficult to solve?Was the main problem that Despereaux was...

I would say the main problem was that of being different
from the other mice in appearance and in interests. His difference makes others pick on
him and deem him unworthy to be a mouse. In his reading habits, he dreams of rescuing a
princess just like the hero did in the book he read. He was made to feel unworthy and
needed to feel like something important in someone's eyes. His sickliness began the
story, so it would be the conflict, or main problem. From there, complications such as
his reading habits lead to his dream of the princess's rescue. Of course, as he faces
many issues and solves them with or without help, his self-image grows along with his
confidence.

Can you tell 10 most important themes of Roadside Picnic and explain the 2 of them, in a couple of sentences, giving specific examples from the book?

Some of the themes the book deals with
are:

1. The human fascination with the
   unknown


2. The cosmos as a mystic source of
   power


3. The existence of a higher thinking
   civilization


4. The minimalism of
   humanity


5. Civility vs.
   chaos


6. Known vs. the
   Unknown


7. The human need of
   control


8. Master vs servant
   behavior


9. The search for true
   happiness

The civility vs. chaos theme is
notable in the actual name of the story. The title Roadside Picnic is a metaphor that
shows how the aliens came, chose a spot to land, spread out their artifacts, then took
off and left a really big mess of their stuff behind for us humans to Stalk. In the
midst of this chaos, humans still must strive to survive and somehow overcome this
insane moment. This is why it is a constant battle.

The
human need of control comes as a result of looking for the artifacts, and the powers
that such artifacts have over people, from changing their appearance, to controlling the
laws of gravity. They go at crazy extends penetrating the boundaries of the Zones to get
to these artifacts. Many found their deaths in them. However, the need of control is so
intense in human nature that even death wouldn't move convince them not to enter those
areas.

1. When Nick leaves the Buchanan’s house, he is “confused and a little disgusted.” What does this suggest about his values?it is from the...

In The Great Gatsby, this entire
scene has an unreal atmosphere about it for Nick.  When he enters the house through a
high hallway the windows gleam white and the grass outside seems to grow into the house,
and the wind blows curtains and blows the women's dresses, and the women appear to float
above the couch.  This has the feeling of illusion, which, of course, Nick discovers the
relationship between Tom and Daisy is. 

From Nick's
entrance into the house, until the time he leaves, Nick is a bit dazed and confused. 
Notice that he is always a little behind the others, without knowledge that they
possess. 

Jordan acts like he isn't even there, and of
course he doesn't even know who she is.  The others talk about Jordan's career while
Nick stands by unknowing.  Tom has a new book full of stale ideas to share.  Tom gets a
phone call and the women know who the caller is and what the call is about, while Nick
doesn't.  

The atmosphere and the personalities and details
involved, combine to create a bit of a surreal experience for
Nick. 

It's no wonder he leaves feeling "confused and a
little disgusted." 

Concerning his values, Nick obviously
is bothered by Tom's infidelity, as well as his openness about it.  The fact that the
girls know about it and the situation just festers also bothers Nick.  He is also
bothered by Jordan, at least at first.  She seems uppity and a bit lazy to
Nick. 

The inference is that Nick brings his Midwestern
values to his narration, and the ways of these easterners bother
him.

Of course, at the same time, Nick is an unreliable
narrator, so a reader should avoid blindly accepting his value
judgments.

how does the current in any one place in the circuit compare to the current at other places in the circuityou have a circuit of battery, switch,...

An electrical circuit can be series, parallel (the basic
configurations) or a combination of series/parallel devices.  When finding the current
through a circuit one first need to derive its equivalent resistance. For a series
circuit the equivalent resistance is

`R_(eq) =
R_1+R_2+...+R_n`

while for a parallel circuit the
equivalent resistance is

`1/R_(eq) =1/R_1 +1/R_2
+....+1/R_n`

For a complex series-parallel circuit the
equivalent resistance is found by grouping together the resistances first in series and
parallel combinations then finding the total resistance of these groups.

The total current in circuit is given by the Ohm
law:

`I_("tot") =U_("tot")/R_(eq)`

For a series circuit the current is the same in all the
components while the different voltage drops on the components add together to give the
total supply voltage.

For a parallel circuit the voltage is
the same in all components (and equal to the supply voltage) while the different
currents through components add together to give the total
current.

For a complex series-parallel circuit the voltages
and currents split accordingly the above rules on to different existent series and
parallel resistor groups.

What are the main points to remember about the poem "Ozymandias"?

I would say that the transitory nature of existence is one
of the critical points from the poem.  The ruler Ozymandias, self described as the "king
of kings," is one whose statue is in a decrepit condition, set in a barren land.  The
notion here is that during his rule, people might have seen him as a powerful king. 
Ozymandias might have even seen himself as one of these rulers.  Yet, the possession of
political power does not guarantee political immortality.  Rulers cannot be measured by
solely their success when they rule, but must be assessed on the grounds of what they
have done to ensure that their rule is lasting.  At the same time, this can be broadened
to anyone who seeks immortality for its own end.  All artists could be subject to the
fate of Ozymandias, seeking immortality in this life, but not accomplishing it after
their time has passed.

I am studying the theme of sacrifice in The Kite Runner. What quotes within the novel support the different ways in which the theme is explored?

There are a variety of themes within the story but one
predominant theme would be that of sacrifice and redemption. The relationship between
Hassan and Amir features much sacrifice, especially on the part of Hassan, who does
everything to keep Amir safe and comfortable. Hassan goes through so much trouble due to
his loyalty to his friend, who is also actually his brother. While running a kite that
Amir won, Hassan encounters Assef, the neighborhood bully. Assef asked for the kite but
Hassan resisted knowing well that nothing good would come out of his resistance, and at
this point he sacrificed himself to please Amir.

I had one last chance to make a decision. One
final opportunity to decide who I was going to be. I could step into that alley, stand
up for Hassan—the way he’d stepped up for me all those times in the past—and accept
whatever would happen to me. Or I could
run.

Hassan sacrificed
himself again when Amir set him up as a thief. Amir hid his watch and some money under
Hassan’s pillow, the items are discovered, and although Hassan knows that he is being
framed by his friend, he still pleads guilty.

readability="11">

Baba came right out and asked. “Did you steal
that money? Did you steal Amir’s watch, Hassan?”

Hassan’s
reply was a single word, delivered in a thin, raspy voice:
“Yes.”

After several years of
carrying the burden of guilt, Amir seeks redemption, and he tries and eventually
succeeds in saving Hassan’s child from Assef after much sacrifice on his
part.

How does the particle theory of matter explain why a gas has more compressibility than a liquid?

Solids, liquids and gases are different because the atoms
(or particles) that make them up have different amounts of energy.  The amount of energy
determines how the atoms or particles behave.  In solids the particles do not have much
energy.  The particles in solids are tightly packed and locked in place, but still
vibrate.  In liquids the particles have more energy.  This allows the particles in
liquids to roll past each other, but they are still tightly packed.  In gases the
particles have a lot of energy.  This means that they are
not tightly packed and can move apart.  Gases can be compressed because the particles
can be forced closer together.  The particles in a liquid are already as close as they
can be.

What is the greaser rule besides "stick together"?It is found in Chapter 2.

In chapter two of The Outsiders, Pony, Johnny and Dally
have gone to the drive-in. They meet Cherry and Marcia, and Pony and Johnny are smitten
by the two girls. Dally, on the other hand, runs his mouth and shows how tough he is.
Cherry is not impressed and says so. Dally keeps bothering the two girls, and Johnny
speaks up and tells Dally to stop. Everyone is shocked that Johnny would stand up to
Dally; he idolized Dally. After Dally leaves, Cherry invites Pony and Johnny to sit with
them and makes a remark about how bad Dally is, but Johnny defends
him:

"Dally's
okay," Johnny said defensively and I nodded. You take up for your buddies, no matter
what they do. When you're a gang, you stick up for the members. If you don't stick up
for them, stick together, make like brothers, it isn't a gang anymore. It's a pack. A
snarling, distrustful, bickering pack like the Socs in their social clubs or the street
gangs in New York or the wolves in the timber. "He's tough, but he's a cool old
guy."

Pony is trying to
explain that in a gang you always stick together and have each other's backs no matter
what. Little did Pony know that this was the night that would change everything in
Pony's and Johnny's lives. The rule the Greasers had would be put to the ultimate
test.

What are your thoughts on child abuse? What would you do in a situation if you suddenly found out that someone you knew was sexually abused?

Child abuse may be of various kinds: sexual abuse by the
members of the family within the domestic territory, trafficking of children for the
flesh trade, physical or psychological violence at home and out-of-doors, child-labour
and so on.Child abuse is definiely one of the most heinous crimes that leads to very
damaging consequences.

Once a case of child-abuse is
detected, the affected child must be rescued from the evil clutches of the abuser. The
child shoud be placed in safe custody and a thorough medical examination should be
carried out to diagnose the physical as well as mental damage done to the victim.
Immediate measures should be taken to mitigate the trauma of the innocent victim. At the
same time, the abuser shall have to be identified and proper legal action initiated
against him. The abuser of a child, especially in case of a sexual abuse, must be
brought to book to assure an exemplary punishment of the
culprit.

For various reasons, child-abuse is largely
under-reported, and children are most unsafe in the custody of their elders in the
family. Cruelty and violence that children are so often subjected to are real menace to
almost all societies.

Could you please give a brief explanation about cloning?

Cloning is the creation of a genetically identical
organism through non-traditional reproductive means. It involves creating an artificial
twin based on the DNA of something that already exists (plant, animal or other
organism).

There are several different types of cloning,
and not all cloning leads to the reproduction of an identical twin of what is being
cloned. The type that is most often argued about in the media and in the legislature is
reproductive cloning (the most famous example was Dolly the cloned sheep). DNA from
another sheep was used to create a cloned embryo which grew to be Dolly, a genetic
replica of the original sheep. She lived a full life and had babies of her own, proving
that cloning is possible. Cloning can also be used to create food products - a
technology that is currently under development as a means of addressing world hunger and
scarcity of resources.

What is Macbeth's internal conflict? (only act 1 and 2)i know that i should talk about the murder of duncan and his guilt.. but what more can i say...

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Macbeth's
internal conflicts do deal with more than just his guilt, or specifically, his guilt is
caused by specifics.

First, he, showing personality traits
that present role reversal concerning genders, worries that Duncan has been a humble and
fair ruler.  He wants the throne badly, but hates to assassinate someone who has treated
him so well. 

He also hates to give up the reputation he
has developed.  He's received honors from others in the recent past, and hates to
jeopardize that by assassinating a king.

Finally, he
worries about his eternal salvation.  He knows doing what he wants to do--assassinating
Duncan--will cost him his salvation. 

Macbeth's internal
conflicts are complex.  He is terribly ambitious, but he is also aware that what he
wants to do and later does, is hideous.  It's even possible he's had the assassination
of Duncan on his mind before the play opens, which would explain why he flinches when he
first hears the prediction that he will be king from the witches:  it's possible he
flinches because he knows what his being king will take. 

What are the types of operating system?Types, advantage of operating system.

Operating system (OS) of a computer is a collection of
software programs that enable the computer hardware to to operate efficiently and to
interface with other software used in the computer. The Operating System makes the task
of operating the computer very easy for the user by incorporating software that makes it
possible to perform many repetitive tasks of computer without having to make provisions
for these in the application software, or feeding detailed step by step command to
computer every time a a simple operation like opening, copying, printing or reorganising
file is required. Without the help of modern operating system, it will not be possible
to operate computers without fairly complicated training in computer software and
operations.

Classification of Computer operating system can
be done based on comparison of their features it terms of different dimensions.The
operating system in a computer performs functions such as process management, main
memory management, file management, input and output system management, secondary
storage management, networking, protection, and command
interpretation,

Some of these dimension of operating system
classification are described below.

Use of
Graphic User Interface (GUI): Traditionally Operating systems required the
computer user to feed instruction to the computer using the key board. However now it is
common to have OS that have devices to feed instruction to computer by pointing to or
selecting different information or icons displayed on computer monitor or
screen.

Number of users who can use
the computer system simultaneously.

Number of
processors and other devices that can be controlled by the
OS.

Number of tasks that the OS can
perform in parallel.

Multi-threading:
This refers to the ability of operating system to allow a computer to run different part
of a program simultaneously.

Many computer operating
systems will fall into more than one of the below categories.

2x + 3y = 2 and 5X - 5y = 10 solve for x and y

It is easy to see that, the second equation, after
factorization, will look
like:

5(x-y)=10

We'll divide
it by 5 and we'll
get:

x-y=2

The first equation
looks like:2x + 3y = 2

We'll try to reduce the unknown y,
by multiplying the equation x-y=2 by 3 and, after that, we'll add it to the equation 2x
+ 3y =
2.

3x-3y+2x+3y=6+2

After
reducing the terms 3y and -3y, we'll
get:

5x=8

x= 8/5
= 1.6

Now, we'll find out y by substituting
x into the
equation:

x-y=2

1.6 - y =
2

We'll subtract 1.6 both
sides:

-y = 2 - 1.6

-y =
0.4

We'll multiply both sides by
(-1).

y=-0.4
