Edgar Allan Poe Tales Of Ratiocination
1,098 words... is and the more out of the ordinary the case is, the more easily, ironically, the case can be solved by the key detective. The problem in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" that has the police so stumped is simply how can a non rational, inhuman being break through the bounds of law, custom, and civilized order and commit such a gruesome and horrible atrocity on two well protected women. The police cannot bring themselves to conclude that a human could possibly do this. The house is built in su...

Bad Weather Horse Power

All that there was to go on was marine propellers. The Brothers did not have the time or money to test many designs. They decided to scrap the theory used for marine propellers, and make up their own. After long discussions they realized that the only way to test the propeller is to try it on the plane. The decided two things about the propeller: f...

Toad Poem Unnatural
307 wordsThe structure of the poem adds much to the meaning Robert Wilbur was trying to convey. The theme of The Death of a Toad is the disruption of the natural cycle of life. Wilbur wrote this poem that structurally makes this point, as well. The use of feminine rhymes makes the rhyme scheme unnatural. For example, the word caught does not rhyme exactly with got. Also, there are only three stanzas, making the balance of the poem unnatural as well. The formation of the stanzas (with some lines indented,...

Make Much Of Time Virgins To Make
768 wordsIn Andrew Marvell's poem "To his Coy Mistress", the speaker meditates on how cold, worm-ridden, and empty the grave is. While this decision might seem a poor choice for someone who is trying to convince his conquest to acquiesce, it does emphasize the importance of "seizing the day": We will all age then die. Our days, our youths, are short, and we do not have "word enough, and time" (line 1) to dawdle or wallow in indecision. The speaker pretends not to pay an attention to the fact that he and ...

Characters In Watership Saves Wilbur Charlotte
786 wordsIn light of the description of anthropomorphism, I think it is only fitting to use the novels Charlotte s Web and Watership Down to demonstrate them. While both of these novels show animals behaving in different manners, they are both uncharacteristic of normal animal behaviour. Charlotte s Web shows animals behaviour as primarily human while Watership Down demonstrates animals behaving mostly as animals. This said, we see that both these novels show their characters with human traits, however t...

725 wordsAlthough the 1902 flyer was the first truly-effective heavier-than-air craft, it didnt have a propulsion system, and so counts only as a glider, not as an airplane. The problem for the Wrights in 1903 was to develop a powered machine. They had to make one more breakthrough to be successful here: understand how propellers work. This was harder than it seems, as no one really understood that a propeller was nothing more than a wing that rotates on its axis, and lifts the plane forward. So, the Wri...
