Postmodernism is a fascinating school of literary theory that focuses on the abstract, the post-structural: “For the postmodernistfragmentation is an exhilarating, liberating phenomenon, symptomatic of our escape from the claustrophobic embrace of fixed systems of belief” (Barry Chapter 4). Postmodernism celebrates the unshackling of traditional narrative and literary structures and vies for something new; in this way, Dennis Cooley’s book of poetry Bloody Jack is a quintessential example of this phenomenon. Loosely following the life of famous Canadian outlaw John Krafchenko (otherwise known as Bloody Jack), Cooley’s poems straddle the line between fiction and nonfiction, transcending genre and defying ...

Introduction

Arable soil can be described as soil tilled or ploughed regularly, usually under a crop rotation system. It is also an agricultural soil that is filled by crops sown as well as harvested in a similar agricultural year, at times over one time. Soil can as well be regarded as arable if it is utilized as temporary hayfields for pasture or mowing, kitchen and market gardens, and temporary fallow land. This means that this kind of soil is not sown for one or more seasons of growing, but it is not left to lie idle for over five years. Arable soil ...

Based on what I listened to, I preferred the work of Debussy over the work of Mahler. There are at least three reasons for my preference of Debussy's work.

While I appreciated Mahler's classicism, his diversity of tempo and mixed rhythms, I had some difficulty accessing and relating to Mahler's work. As a progenitor of modernism, I related more to Debussy's work. I especially liked Debussy's similarity of musical form with more modern music. For example, the intro to L'après-midi d'un faune (Stokowski) part 1/2, with its opening flute solo, was similar ...

Most academics believe that racism emerged during transatlantic slave trade and colonialism. Therefore, there is an agreement that discrimination based on skin color is largely a modern invention. It has been noted that the word race is not mentioned in original versions of the bible or other ancient writings from Greek anthropologists and historians. Negations according to shades of skin color began during the transatlantic slavery and colonialism because Europeans wanted to rank themselves over others as people who had broader humanity to justify their colonial activities.

According to Jared Diamond, dominance of white people over black people was largely ...

The issue of racism within most communities in America has been a challenge for a while. The blacks have been the biggest hit in terms of racial discrimination as they suffer the most. In the book what is white trash, the authors have defined the term vulgar multiculturalism as the phenomena that proceed from whiteness in a manner that subjugates nonwhites. The performance by the white rap artists that are christened blackness has offered a different dimension to this notion. The artists try to bring out a genuine theme in their performance that highlights the plights of blacks within most societies.

Introduction

Elodea canadensis is a perennial hydrophyte, which is native to the majority of North America and was first recorded in about 1836 from the British Isles (Hackney, 1992). Young plants at first begin with a seedling stem and roots grow in mud at the underneath of water. More adventitious roots arise at intervals along the stem. The leaves are translucent, bright green, oblong, 1-4 mm broad and 6-17 mm long, borne in whorls of three round the stem (Rose, 2006). It lives completely submerged.

A: In the pea plant, the purple color is the dominant one while the white color is the recessive color. The F1 offspring that had purple colored flowers were 445 while those that had white colored flowers were 437. This gives a phenotypic ratio of almost 1:1. To attain this ratio, a parent with white colored flower (pp) had to be crossed with a heterogeneous purple colored parent (Pp). This can be confirmed by crossing the two patents as shown in the Punette square below.

This is clearly implicated in the chapter’s title, ‘Race’, racism and representation. The chapter incorporates items that are related to the aspects of study of culture as well as racism. The first discussion is related to the issue of race and racism (Tatum, 2008 pg. 230). In the discussion of race, it states that there is basically one race in the context humanism. ...

Russell begins his analysis of reality by asking the question whether there truly exists knowledge that is in itself so certain that no man could doubt it. This question seems rather simple at first but upon further analysis of the question especially through Russell’s eyes the depth of the question manifests. Russell argues against the concept of direct realism. He argues that everything we see and then perceive is subject to our conceptualization process which is in turn subject to our experiences and point of view. This then begs the question as to whether what we see truly ...

Analysis of line

Horizontal lines dominate the painting; for example, the artist draws ground, raft, and the sea using these shapes. These lines mean that there is a sense of calmness and comfort in the picture. The lines on the sea and the raft show that these factors are calm and comfortable; the water is still because there are no waves, and this makes the raft stand calmly in the sea. The shape of the ground is horizontal to mean that the place is a plateau. A plateau is a flat land where there are no highlands; they are common near the sea like the ...

Introduction

In 1852, Francis Guthrie was discussing with his brother Frederick the coloring of a map. He discovered the fact that he could color the map of England counties with the use of only four colors. He used the colors in such a way that each division had a single color and two segments sharing a common boundary had different colors. Thus, the four color problem was born and the question arose whether in a plane map, four colors were sufficient to denote the divisions of adjacent regions sharing the same boundary, without using the same colors.

The perception of the majority of people in any society easily denotes what dominant ideologies mean. Each society shares certain beliefs that uphold certain values accepted and indeed practiced by them as revealed by the Omi and Winant racial theory. They argued the race concept was created to justify genocide and inequality that characterized the European or whites’ colonization. Blacks were discriminated and used as slaves, a situation that led them to create a social conscious framework that Europeans were born more superior to them. These dominant versions of the society beliefs proved to be very persuasive especially if they were ...

Gabbidon and Greene candidly and comprehensively address the factors that account for the disproportionate representation of the minority youths in the American juvenile system. They address the real issues confronting the American juvenile justice system and the American society in general. Although minority youth makeup only a third of the American juvenile population, they contribute two-thirds of the juvenile detention population. The factors that account for DMC are compound and multifaceted making it hard to resolve the issues. Racial and ethnic stereotypes are the major factors that account for DMC. White Americans associate black Americans with hard crimes and ...

Abstract

All cells in a living organism require energy to drive various cellular activities such as transport of molecules and movement among others. The rate of cellular respiration may be affected by the substrate concentration, pH level and enzyme concentration among other factors. This experiment aimed to study the rate of cellular respiration in isolated mitochondria under different conditions. It was hypothesized that if the concentration of the substrate is increased then there will be an increase in the rate of cellular respiration. Mitochondrial suspension was used as the source of succinate that was used as the substrate. The level of ...

Introduction

This research paper examines three commonly-used food coloring substances: annatto, cochineal and saffron. Topics addressed include the sources of the colorings (geographic and in nature), how they are used (with which foods), and how they are affected, e.g. by cooking or by acidity when used.

Annatto

Annato is a naturally-occurring dye, ranging in color from a “bright yellow to deep orange” (“What is Annatto?” n.d.). The seeds of the achiote tree – indigenous to Central and Southern America – are the source of the dye, which in those regions is not only used as food coloring but simply as a dyestuff and for medicinal purposes, ...

Abstract. Oxidation of ethanol is carried out by the oxidizing agent, potassium dichromate. The oxidizing agent undergoes a color change followed by the completion of the reaction.

The rock I will be examining in this report is granite. Granite – is the most commonly spread rock in the continental crust formed by the slow cooling and solidification of magmatic melting rocks in depth. Granite can also be formed during metamorphism – under the influence of high temperature and pressure, as well as under the influence of a variety of liquids and gases (fluids), rising from the depths. Granites play a huge role in the structure of the Earth`s crust and the whole continents, since this solid rock is one of the main materials forming the outer part of the ...

These were Spirits and were found in Mesopotamia. They were associated with kindness and protection. The Mesopotamian Lama Deities were crafted in obedience to god Shamash, which was also popularly known as the sun god. They were made during the period 2100-2000 BC. Looking at the face, one finds a beautified face that has been made to be extremely sensitive to touch. The beard has been made to be luxurious, and this possibly suggests that the spirit was male.

Summary and Annotation

Summary Richard Colyer’s article, “Thoreau’s Color Symbols” is an incisive and exhaustive elaboration of Thoreau’s utilization of color in description of natural phenomena and the innate interconnections between the discernible and the unseen (999). His imagery was grounded in the natural process of birth, development, maturity, decay and regeneration after decomposition. In spite of this, he found it problematic drawing parallels between humanity and nature. His belief, though, was that man can acquire the discipline to perceive sensual elements of nature instead of just the sensuous ones. The main vehicles of Thoreau’s imagery ...

The rock I found was gray in color and appeared to be silky in the sun. As I checked the internet to identify the kind of rock I found, I learned that it was slate. This kind of rock is found in some garden in my neighborhood, with some used as slate gravel while others as stepping stones. Not far from my house, I saw a house with slate as its roof. Judging by the color and texture of my rock, and the powdery grain that was left in my hands after rubbing it, I surmised that ash is ...

Light is the cause of revelation that allows us to realize very simple yet magnificent ways of nature. The main event triggered by its presence is the passing of the day into the night.

In such an event as would be artificially influenced by structures, the lighting invokes quietness. It may be viewed I a well created structure such as the one used by James Turell to allow the viewer watch from below. The ...

In F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, particularly the period of the film in which Orlok terrorizes the crew of the ship he is smuggling himself upon, the character of Count Orlok (Max Schreck) is seen to have a supernatural effect on people. By looking at this scene from both descriptive, evaluative and interpretive lenses, the editing and shot composition of the film showcases the film’s desire to show Orlok as a supernatural and hypnotic figure. There is then a cut to a wide shot of captain walking up the stairs, then cut to the other hold, where there is a sick man in a ...

Critical thinking – Pink Summer

‘Pink Summer’ by Philip Guston is quite a great painting although at times it does seem to have lost its focus. There are several facets to it; from the way the objects are arranged around the viewing point to the strange pink colour which permeates the whole work. The immediate impression one gets is that Guston wants to convey a sense of disorder and comic portrayal; you can immediately observe the brush alongside other objects such as the ruler and the sandwich which may seem to be slightly out of place. Philip Guston painted “Pink Summer” in 1975, which consist ...

High noon

Edward Hopper is one of America’s finest artists that ever lived. His work has always been dominated with lonely people either looking outside the window or seated at the café table or just standing at the door staring anxiously outside. Usually, there is no presence of any activity within the pictures. The “high noon” is one of these paintings depicting a woman standing at the door staring outside, lit by direct sunlight and surrounded by an enormous house. The skies behind the house are large and very blank. This unusual composition, displaying a house cropped off at one of its ...
