Edgar Allen Poe wrote “The Raven” in 1945. The poem shows how lost love can lead to depression. Depression, and mental illness in general, is a topic common to many of Poe’s works, and he often uses an unreliable narrator as one of the primary means of showing such depression. Following the death of the woman he loved, a male speaker narrates “The Raven,” and through this first person account, the reader is allowed a glimpse of his descent into madness. Through the poem, Poe demonstrates to how the experience of losing a loved one can propel someone ...

Intro

Emily Dickinson is an American poet, who is probably the most recognizable name in American poetry. Not much is known of her motivation regarding her poems as only 12 of the 1800 she had written were published during her life time and she left little in the way of explaining her thoughts regarding what she had written. What is known is that she did not think the majority of her poems were worth public consumption and had told her sister Lavinia (Vinnie) to dispose of them after her death. This was probably due to her poems being heavily altered ...

Among the outstanding architectural masterpieces of the XX century the Guggenheim Museum at Bilbao definitely stands out. This is not only because of its blatant deconstruction, but also the value it is to the city, as a museum and an architectural piece. Frank Gehry made his masterpiece as contemporary as possible. To such extent that even critics lament about his novel style and vision of architecture. In Spain, hardly anyone can be surprised by whimsical architectural forms, bearing in mind the works of Antonio Gaudi in Barcelona. However, Frank Gehry seems to have outwitted the latter. What he created, ...

Emily Dickinson is one of America’s most beloved poets. She wrote of nature, love, and death. It is said that Dickinson wrote 1800 poems, the majority of which were untitled.

BERNOULLI’S EXPERIMENT

ABSTRACT Two fluid properties, the Bernoulli principle and the Venturi effect, were examined and analyzed in this experiment. A venturi meter was used to measure the fluid flow rate, velocity, and pressure of water (the fluid being examined). The results showed that the fluid pressure decreases as the fluid traveled through a smaller cross sectional area. The minimum fluid pressure (in effect, maximum fluid velocity) was observed in the smallest cross sectional area at position D (diameter 16 mm). The decrease in fluid pressure was compensated by an increase in the fluid velocity. With these two measured phenomena, both ...

In both Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” and Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est,” each poet arms themselves with certain devices to create emotional tones that drive how they feel about war. For Howe, war seems to be glorious and good. For Owen, it is clearly undignified and evil. The emotional tone set by Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” is safe and content, whereas the emotional tone of Owen’s “Dolce et Decorum Est” is chaotic and unsettling. Both poets use alliteration, meter, and rhyme in nearly opposite ways to strike at the heart ...
