Essays on Path

The journey is something that has been discussed in literature for many years, as it carries a universal resonance for all people who wish to reach a destination or accomplish a goal. Eudora Welty and Robert Frost are two authors who examine the nature of the journey, and attempt to symbolize that nature in their short stories and poems, “A Worn Path” and “The Road Not Taken,” respectively. Both “A Worn Path” and “The Road Not Taken” are about how the journey we take through life defines us and gives us purpose. Phoenix’ journey is to help others and herself; the protagonist ...

Abstract

Algorithms have been developed for a long time with many of them undergoing a long process to reach where they are today. The A* algorithm has found its wide use in artificial intelligence. This is because it has been found to be effective in looking for the shortest path to getting something. Many search algorithms are dynamic in nature. A* can be regarded as static in the way it does its search. There are other versions that have been developed to overcome the limitation that is brought by this algorithm. Even though this is a major limitation in carrying out search, A* ...

Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” is frequently used as a way to justify the freedom and uniqueness that comes from going down a path that most do not take. It is held up as an example of the way in which taking one’s own path results in positive, beneficial changes in one’s life, and in the way one sees the world. However, while this poem does seem to describe an individual progressing on his or her own path, the poem’s meaning goes far deeper than that. A surface reading reveals the meaning as one about individuality, ...

Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’ and Eudora Welty’s ‘A Worn Path’ are contrastingly different yet similar in some ways.

Critical path identification for any project- planning phase is a necessary requirement. Project managers can also apply the critical path methodology to determine the amount of float on various paths. The critical path is simply all the tasks that determine the end date in a project schedule. If one of those tasks is late by one day, your project end date extendeds by one day. Often, there will be tasks that are not on the critical path; this is due to slack in the project schedule. Referring to your current schedule, quickly identify the tasks that have some float ...

The two pieces of work, ‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost, and ‘A worn Path’ by Eudora Welty both describe two separate journeys by two characters. The two journeys, though in separate worlds, are loaded with symbolism in the characters, elements of the journey and the emerging themes. The poem ‘The Road Not Taken’ brings out the choices made in terms of what course to take in life while the short story ‘A Worn Path’, shows the undying determination of a traveler to finish the course of her journey.

This is usually the longest part of a given project and determines the time taken for a project to be completed. This part is determined by getting a sum of the path that is longest in a given ...

All of us go through life with our own individual journeys. The path that we take is often dependent on every single decision that we make through our journey. Often, we look back through our life what might have been if we have followed a different path. But we often realize that there are no “undo” buttons in real life. There is simply no going back. Once we have made a certain decision, we cannot do anything but stick with that decision and make the most of the decision we have made.

Our journey through life has often been depicted in ...

Robert Frost, 1874 - 1963 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first ...

Introduction

Literature is an art which communicates an idea be in the form of poem or prose. The way the word is woven to form sentences befitting the theme, and at the same time, conveying the message is an art in itself.

One set of such two works are the poems “The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost” and “I Used to Live Here Once by Jean Rhys.” Though he titles seem different, they have something in common to share ...

- Expected completion times and variance attached. Using PERT charts and the optimistic, most likely and pessimistic times, we can estimate the expected time for each activity. PERT assumes the beta probability distribution for time estimates. A beta distribution can be used to estimate the expected time for each activity using weighted average (Karen K. Kirst-Ashman, 2011).

In the case of variance, three standard deviations are assumed to exist between the optimistic and the pessimistic values. Thus variance = [(Pessimistic – Optimistic )/6 ]2. The critical path is the longest path duration of the project. Slack time is ...

Although they written during roughly the same time period and are both based on Southern culture, William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” and Eudora Welty’s “A Worn Path” are very different in many ways, from the tone of the stories to the narrative style used. One of the best ways to look at these differences is by comparing the principal characters in the stories. Miss Emily and Phoenix Jackson are both, in different ways, tragic figures. However, a careful examination of these two women reveals that, while the tragedy of Miss Emily is built on despair, that of ...

The critical path of a PERT chart is “the sequence of tasks where there is no slack time”. This means that if there is a delay in any of the activities on the critical path, it will result in an extension of the project completion date. A task in a critical path cannot start unless the predecessor activity is completed. As an example if an activity in the critical path is delayed for two days, then the completion of the whole project will be delayed unless the task following the delayed activity is finished two days earlier. The activities ...

Compare and contrast the views of Tylor-Frazer, Marx-Freud, and Durkheim-Geertz

Religion, according to Tylor and Frazer, consisted of the belief of individuals in the existence of supernatural beings who wielded incredible power; they believed it was a rational and conscious decision to believe. Marx believed that alienation was the primary cause of religion, as it helped to keep classes apart, and said it was the "opium of the people," while Freud thought it was an illusion that people wished to believe in to simply have something to believe in. Durkheim and Geertz, however, believed that religion itself was based around the sacred - in symbols, or totems, that had either ...

Why Latin America has experienced so much political upheaval in the last century

Latin America has witnessed various shake-ups from time to time leading to a new and modern world overall. Previously, the Latin American politics did not encourage participation of all the citizens. They only involved the elite group of people. The elites dominated over the natives. This led to conflicts as the rest of the people strived to have freedom. This led to populism, which involves a collection of ideologies putting a distinction between a group of people striving to have their voice heard, and another group of elites who are evil, corrupt and discriminative. The disruption of the political stability in Latin America ...

Career Metaphors

As an introduction, it is vital to understand that Kerr Inkson (2007) proposes metaphors as a way to view careers. The following paper compares and contrasts Inkson’s characterization of careers as inheritance and journeys. It also assesses whether this conceptualization expands my understanding of career.
