A Discussion of The Wound-Dresser and Leaves of Grass
During the late romantic period, two of history’s most profound poets, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, emerged providing a foundation for, and a transition into Modern poetry. In its original form, their poems lacked the characteristics commonly attributed to most romantic poets of the mid to late nineteenth century who tended to utilize “highly stylized verses, having formal structures, figurative language and adorned with symbols” (worksheet). Unique and “eccentric use of punctuation” as well as “irregular use of meter and rhyme” were the steppingstones for this new and innovative style of writing (worksheet). Even though these two writers rejected the traditional approach, both remained firmly dedicated to their romantic idealism of the glass of water being “half full” opposed to “half empty.” Noted for his frequent practice of catalogs and parallelism, Whitman stirred up much controversy with his first edition of “leaves of Grass” in 1855. Many critics responded negatively to the ...

Investigating Rates of Reactions My aim is to investigate what factors affect the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. The factor that I will be focusing on is the concentration of Hydrochloric acid. [IMAGE]Reaction Equation: Mg (s) +2HCl (aq) = MgCl2 (aq) +H2 (g)
I will have to be careful to keep my experiment fair. To make sure I
In this experiment there five different phases and in each a different factor of the Collision Theory was tested. The first phase was called, Nature of the Reactants and it had three parts to it. In the first part of it which was steps 1-4, 5 pieces of mossy zinc were put into 3ml of 2M H_2 〖SO〗_4 and during this time bubbles were produced. After a few minutes the zinc was removed from the acid and it was now clean zinc.

Much has been said about Emily Dickinson’s mystifying poetry and private life, especially during the years 1860-63. Allegedly it was during these years that the poetess, at the most prolific phase of her career, withdrew from society, began to wear her “characteristic” white dress and suffered a series of psychotic episodes. Dickinson tended to “theatricalize” herself by speaking through a host of personae in her poems and by “fictionalizing” her inner life as a gothic romance (Gilbert 584). Believing that a poem is “the best words in the best order” (to quote S.T. Coleridge) and that all the poems stemming from a single consciousness bring to surface different aspects / manifestations of the same personal mythology, I will firstly disregard biographical details in my interpretation of Dickinson’s poems 378, 341 and 280 and secondly place them in a sort of “continuum” (starting with 378 and ending with 280) to show how they attempt to describe a “plunge” into the Unconscious and a lapse into madness (I refrain from using the term “journey,” for it implies a “telos,” a goal which, whether unattainable or not, is something non-existent in the poems in question). Faced with the problem of articulating and concretizing inner psychological states, Dickinson created a totally new poetic discourse which lacks a transcendental signified and thus can dramatize the three stages of a (narrated) mental collapse: existential despair, withdrawal from the world of the senses and “death” of consciousness.
Rate is determined on how fast something is being consumed in a reaction, or how
The rate of reaction increases when the substrate is added it caused the oxygen to be produced quickly. When the substrate molecules go beyond the number of active sites that is available, the rate of reaction will stop increasing. This is because the maximum point of reactions have been reached and are being done at once so if there is any additional substrate molecules in the process, they need to wait until the active sites are available for them.
One of Emily Dickinson’s greatest skills is taking the familiar and making it unfamiliar. In this sense, she reshapes how her readers view her subjects and the meaning that they have in the world. She also has the ability to assign a word to abstractness, making her poems seemingly vague and unclear on the surface. Her poems are so carefully crafted that each word can be dissected and the reader is able to uncover intense meanings and images. Often focusing on more gothic themes, Dickinson shows an appreciation for the natural world in a handful of poems. Although Dickinson’s poem #1489 seems disoriented, it produces a parallelism of experience between the speaker and the audience that encompasses the abstractness and unexpectedness of an event.

The rate of a reaction is the speed taken for a chemical reaction to happen, if that reaction has a lower rate, that means the molecules combine at a slower speed than reaction with a higher rate. Some reactions take thousands of years, while others like our experiment can happen in less than a few minutes. An example of very slow reactions is how long it takes for ancient plants and fish to become fossils, this is called carbonization. The rate of reaction also depends on the type of molecules that are combining, If there are lower concentrations of an essential element or compound, the reaction time might be slower!

One weakness Destination Queenstown is face with is the lack of infrastructure in the area. Queenstown is currently under a lot of pressure with the lack of accommodation compared to the amount of jobs they need to be filled. Currently, there is a lot of construction happening within the town to try and keep up with the demand for facilities due to the fact Queenstown is growing more popular each year as a tourist destination which is proven in the statistics from 2013 compared with 2014 as the overall occupancy rate rose from 35.6 percent to 40.7 percent in
This report will analyse the positive and negative environmental impacts of Glastonbury Festival. Glastonbury Festival could be described as a multicultural hallmark event which contributes to the majority of its profits to the charitable causes and attracts different range of altered people and cultures, from the folk enthusiasts to the rock fans. A primary function of the hallmark event is to provide the host community with an opportunity to secure high prominence in the tourism market place (Hall, 1989). However, these cultural and artistic events that attract tourists from all over the world have positive and negative impacts on the social and cultural life, the economy of the country and environment (Taylor & Holloway, 2006).
The rate of reaction is how quickly or slowly reactants in chemical reactants turn into products. A low reaction rate is when the reaction takes a long time to take place; hence, a reaction that occurs quickly has a high reaction rate. A rate refers to how slow or quick the product is produced. It is possible to control the rate of chemical reactions and speed up or slow down the rate of chemical reactions by altering three main factors which are temperature, concentration and the surface area. When the temperature of the reactants increases, the molecules vibrate at a more intense speed therefore colliding with each other more frequently and with increased energy resulting in a greater rate of reaction. Accordingly, as the temperature decreases the molecules will move slower, colliding less frequently and with decreased energy resulting in the rate of reaction decreasing. Concentration is how much solute is dissolved into a solution and is also a factor that affects the rate of reaction. When the concentration is greater this means there is an increased amount of reactant atoms and molecules resulting in a higher chance that collisions between molecules will occur. A higher collision rate means a higher reaction rate. Consequently at lower concentrations there are reduced chances of the molecules colliding resulting in a lower reaction rate. The measurement of how much an area of a solid is exposed is called the surface area. The quicker a reaction will occur the more finely divided the solid is. For example, a powdered solid will usually have a greater rate of reaction in comparison to a solid lump that contains the same mass for it has a lower surface area than the powdered solid.
