the Middle East, the Torah has Noah, his wife, three sons and their wives equaling eight. The Karina peoples of Venezuela have the crew at four couples, also eight people. (Martin 2009:58) This may be more than just a coincidence. There are several theories to explain why so many diverse cultures share a similar story.

force, functions, or needs." We will see how "Jane Eyre" comments on all of these. Several natural themes run through the novel, one of which is the image of a stormy sea. After Jane saves Rochester's life, she gives us the following metaphor of their relationship: "Till morning dawned I was tossed on a buoyant but unquiet sea . . . I thought sometimes I saw beyond its wild waters a shore . . . now and then a freshening gale, wakened by hope, bore my spirit triumphantly towards the bourne: but

word "prove" is definitely overused because some situations, such as the flood, are not able to be repeated. Many theories in society have been presented as fact, when indeed they are still just theories. Therefore, this paper's purpose is not to give an absolute right or wrong, but to inform the reader of the possibility of the occurrence of the flood. Take the tectonic plate theory. It supports the idea that many of the earth's natural formations occurred over a period of millions of years and
“The most remarkable parallels between the Old Testament and the entire corpus of cuneiform inscriptions from Mesopotamia . . . are found in the deluge accounts of the Babylonians and Assyrians, on the one hand, and the Hebrews, on the other,” Heidel stated. A story of a great flood has been recorded by various civilizations, such as the Hebrews with Genesis, from the Bible, and the Babylonians with the Epic of Gilgamesh. The flood story, in the book of Genesis is remarkably similar to the Tablet
Local or Biblical: The Biblical Flood There are several arguments supporting a universal flood. Some of the topics include the following: depth, duration, the ark, the destruction of humanity, and geological implications. The first supportive argument is found in Genesis 7:19-20, from which we can infer the approximate depth of the flood. Look at verse 20,” And the waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward.” This does not mean that the water was fifteen cubits (8.2 yards) high, but probably refers to
What is Pattern Recognition? It is generally easy for a person to differentiate the sound of a human voice, from that of a violin; a handwritten numeral "3," from an "8"; and the aroma of a rose, from that of an onion. However, it is difficult for a programmable computer to solve these kinds of perceptual problems. These problems are difficult because each pattern usually contains a large amount of information, and the recognition problems typically have an inconspicuous, high-dimensional, structure
