crop circles have fascinated millions. Originally from the town of Hertfordshire, UK, the first circle was claimed to be by the “Mowing-Devil”, as found in an English newspaper dated back to 1678. (Gail) The image in the center of the paper depicts a small, devilish creature with a scythe, mowing two rectangular, offset circles. Modern circles form themselves in anything that will take imprint, typically in fields of oats, barley, or corn. (Pringle 5) Since the 1600’s forward, crop circles have dramatically

The First Circle of Hell, contains the souls of those who were non-Christians and unbaptized pagans. Including those who were born before Christianity existed. The souls of those who are in this circle are not harshly punished physically, but instead grieve only their separation from God. They are punished with eternity in an inferior form of Heaven. They live in the noble castle of Limbo which has seven gates which symbolizes the seven virtues. In this circle Dante sees many recognizable people
explained. For the last few decades, crop circles have been appearing all around the world, yet we do not have a clear scientific explanation for them. Crop circles are defined as some kind of circular geometric patterns on crops such as wheat, barley, and corn, (Meder 2007). They are made within a very short period of time without any mistakes. There are over 12,000 circles found with complicated patterns and large in scale, (Crystalinks 2009) Many of the crop circles were found to be a manmade, but we
find the circumference of a circle, the area of a circle and the volume of a cylinder. During these classes, I have learned a lot that I had never known before. Before these classes, I had no idea how to measure a circle and find the area. By the end of the first class, I knew exactly how to do it, but there were some steps to eventually get there. The first thing that we did in class was brainstorm in our groups of how to find the area and circumference of a circle. I started to think but nothing
result of his personal thoughts and experiences. Although some of his punishments are fairly reasonably and match the crime, there are also some circles that are in the wrong order and have unjustified punishments. A few of the circles that are the most disagreeable include limbo, the lustful, violence against self, and complex fraud.

Circles are a method of restorative encounter that can be traced back to 1992 when they were first used in the town of Mayo in the Yukon Territory of Canada. The judge that first used this method saw a number of advantages to using the circle. He pointed out that some advantages were that it promoted a shared sense of responsibility, it involved the offender and the victim, it created a constructive environment, and it extended the focus to the underlying cause (Van Ness & Strong, 2010).

takes us through Dante’s journey through Hell. There are nine circles in Dante’s Hell. Each circle of suffering is located within the Earth. The nine circles are divided into three major groups: Incontinent, Violent, and Fraudulent. For each circle, a different sin is recognized. In my opinion, the punishments that correspond with the sins that are committed on Earth are justified in Dante’s version of Hell. Before the first circle of Hell, there is the Ante-Inferno. The Ante-Inferno contains
full and complete circle. This is the world that serves as the setting for Dave Eggers novel The Circle. The Circle is a novel about Mae, the young and enthusiastic protagonist, who gets a job at a company known as The Circle. The Circle is a revolutionary company that is creating all sorts of new and exciting technology that appear to benefit the human race as a whole.
Crop circles have been a mystery ever since they first appeared. In today’s world, people merely glance at an article about them. They simply brush it off to the side saying that “it has to be fake” or “it can’t be real”. Pat Delgado, a former NASA engineer, said, “It is perfectly natural to ask if crop circles are hoaxes, but very difficult to explain why they cannot be hoaxed satisfactorily” (Silva “Crop Circles”). Crop circles are very mysterious and interesting in many ways. A way this can be
The nine circles of Hell are Dante’s representation of what Hell is where all the sinners go to spend eternity. Dante describes the crimes of the sinners and the punishment of said crimes in great detail through the description of Hell and in the Nine Circles of Hell.

The circle of life is present in everyday life and is the repetition that keeps the world round creating a balance.

This theme is displayed in Thomas Hardy’s His Immortality, in the song lighting crashes, and in Disney’s The Lion King. In His Immortality by Thomas Hardy, the theme of the circle of life is

The area of a circle is one of the first formulas that you learn as a young math student. It is simply taught as, . There is no explanation as to why the area of a circle is this arbitrary formula. As it turns out the area of a circle is not an easy task to figure out by your self. Early mathematicians knew that area was, in general to four sided polygons, length times width. But a circle was different, it could not be simply divided into length and width for it had no sides. As it turns out, finding

Contrapasso is one of the few rules within Dante’s Inferno, and at first glance it seems as though Dante’s system of justice is related to biblical justice. Contrapasso can be related to the common phrase, “an eye for an eye” although textual evidence shows that the punishment for sins committed are usually metaphorical rather than literal
hell is horrific, gruesome, and unimaginable. In Dante’s Inferno, Dante portrays the protagonist as he is guided by his ghostly friend Virgil the poet through the nine chambers of Hell.
