Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, though well-written poetically, does not live up to its name. It is neither a poem about love nor is it a song.

The theme of indecision runs consistently through the point of view Eliot chose, as well as through setting, characters, tone and the use of repetition, imagery and metaphors. The poem begins with an epigraph borrowed from Dante’ ...

The modern EMPA technology already incorporates qualitative and quantitative analytical methods in a non-destructive mechanism even from micron-sized samples of surface materials at a sensitivity of many parts per million (ppm) (Cameca, 2012). In fact, a number of EMPA equipment today can incorporate one or two others of the four major surface and ...

In recent years the American economy was able to recover from the deep financial crisis of 2007-2008.

For example, GM received more than $20 billion of credit money from the American government in order to stay afloat and implement the structural changes (Massad, 2011).
