Before I begin my discussion about how physics effects fencing and how fencers use physics for more effective fencing, I will briefly discuss the origins of the sport of fencing. The first two fencing manuals were created and published in 1471and 1474. These emerged from an attempt at developing a system to teach people how to weild a light sword more effectively inbattle and duels in Frankfurt, Germany. Over the years, two distinct styles emerge. They were French and Italian. The french style relied
Death in Banaras by Jonathan P. Parry focuses mainly on the priests and other “sacred specialists” who serve the deceased, pilgrims, and mourners in the city of Banaras. This book looks at how the priests organize their business, the understanding of the rituals and representations of death in which they preside. The author has contributed to the literature on symbolism of death and the sociology of priest and specialists in the sacred. This novel focuses on topics such as death rituals, death, and

coast was just a preliminary to the India Trade (Parry, 131). Prince Henry encouraged his explorers to continue making their way further and further down the coastline to gain more intelligence and make more money (Parry, 132). His death in 1460 signaled an end to further exploration for a time, as the mariners had gotten to a point of coast around Benin that was more dangerous to traverse and seek a way through than it was considered worth (Parry, 133). Furthermore, Henry died in debt due to these
explorers during this time and immense knowledge was added to the realm of geography (Parry, 1). Perhaps just as important, the marriage of science and technology to the workforce and the subsequent victory of thought over authority led to many discoveries unknown at that time (Parry, 1). Much of what was discovered during this time would help lay the foundation of what today is considered the modern western world (Parry, 1). Unlike today, where knowledge and technology improve at a relatively frenetic

life, women are seen as more faint-hearted than man, thus, their job is to simply grieve. Parry notes many instances of women breaking into ‘sing-song wails’ (Parry, 1994, p.153). Men, on the other hand, are seen as more spiritually capable, and so they are able to perform rituals, they also do not openly express grief. Parry concludes then, that the ‘legitimate expression of grief is structured by gender’ (Parry, 1994, p.155). It is important to question whether these displays of emotion, or lack of
However, throughout the years, women have stepped up to promote and advocate for empowerment and inequality (WIC, 2017; McBride & Parry, 2016). Even with the positive improvements with this, gender equality is still not achieved; as women are not treated or presented equally in regards to employment and the increasing number of women working did not result in equal advancements in

the criticisms stating that the book may be racist. I found Brantlinger’s argument that Heart of Darkness is both anti-imperialist and racist a strong and convincing one. Brantlinger used defenses for Conrad’s novella from Cedric Watts and Benita Parry. Watts argues that Conrad rose above racism. Brantlinger says that Watts believes this because Heart of Darkness attacks imperialism. Brantlinger argues that, “Heart of Darkness is specifically about what Conrad saw in King Leopold’s African empire
