The animals in Yellow Wallpaper, Chrysanthemums, and Boys and Girls represents the characters and their characteristics. In Yellow Wallpaper John’s wife has postpartum depression. John is her physician but he doesn’t let her go out or do anything. She sits in a room that she hates and eventually escapes. Chrysanthemums is about a girl named Elisa and she loves to grow chrysanthemums. She meets this guy who is on the road all the time and he lives off of fixing broken pots and pans. Boys and Girls is about a family whose father takes the foxes fur and sells it for calendars. They get two horses named Mack and Flora who are going to potentially be used as horse meat. They don’t kill them instantly because at the time they had too much meat so they used them on the fields although Mack is lazy. They eventually kill both
The assigned reading was in the Euthyphro. The reading is about Socrates and Euthyphro having a discussion of what piety is. In this paper, I will discuss the moral significance of the question that Socrates proposed. And that is “Is the pious being loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is being loved by the gods?”(Prompt). I will start off by giving a brief summary of the reading and then I will move on to the question. In the question I will discuss the moral significance of it and how it affects us in today’s society. Finally, I will end with my conclusion.
Many elements, like lead, are very important to the structure and formation of many of the products we use. Throughout history, lead has been developed, mined, extracted, and used. Lead, since its finding thousands of years ago, has proven to be a tricky element with many diverse health effects. Scientists have developed products, and processes that still continue to used lead. Lead is an extremely important and influential element in our daily lives.
The short story "The Chrysanthemums" gives insight into the life of its author. John Steinbeck was born on February 27, 1902, in Salinas, California. The locale of the story is of key resemblance to the Salinas in which Steinbeck was born and bread. "Salinas was a typical American small town, [differing] only in location and a few distinctive features" (McCarthy 3). The protagonist of this story, Elisa Allen, also resembles Steinbeck's first wife. "Steinbeck probably based the character of Elisa Allen on his own first wife, Carol Henning Steinbeck. Like Elisa, Carol was a woman of considerable talent and energy who wore 'masculine clothes' and was 'strong, large-boned' and 'handsome rather than pretty'" (Hughes 23). Similar to the time frame in which Steinbeck lived, the theme of the story comes across as being male dominant and the rustic setting allows us to visualize this.
I am going to discuss about the element known as gold in my assignment. To describe the element gold in simple terms, I can only say that it is an element (chemical element). This element is denoted by the symbol Au. It has an atomic number of seventy nine (79). I will describe quite a number of things concerning gold as an element. To begin with is:

I was successful in my attempts to use floo powder to travel into your office, however as I forgot to close my eyes, it was quite a dizzying experience! Despite that, it was an enjoyable experience when I traveled through the fires with my whole body. Head-only floo powder transport was not as enjoyable. It made me feel sick having my head in a different place than my legs. Also, my knees hurt from kneeling on the hard stone floor beside the fire for that amount of time.
Coal mining, for example, is hard work, but it is necessary—we must have coal. Working in the sewers is unpleasant, but somebody must work in the sewers. And similarly with a plongeur ’s work. Some people must feed in restaurants, and so other people must swab dishes for eighty hours a week. It is the work of civilization, therefore unquestionable. This point is worth considering. Is a plongeur ’s work really necessary to civilization? We have a feeling that it must be ‘honest’ work, because it is hard and disagreeable, and we have made a sort of fetish of manual work. We see a man cutting down a tree, and we make sure that he is filling a social need, just because he uses his muscles; it does not occur to us that he may only be cutting down
