to a window to watch the storm, and when lightning
strikes nearby, Calixta staggers backward into
Alce's arms, and for a moment he draws her "close
and spasmodically to him" (p 210). Alce has
apparently not, until this point, sensed the
passion that Calixta feels: "The contact of her
warm, palpitating body when he had unthinkingly
drawn her into his arms had aroused all the
old-time infatuation and desire for her flesh" (p
210). Chopin presents bo...

this planet, in school. At age four I entered
preschool and now at age twenty, as I embark upon
my third year in college, school has become second
nature to me. Besides my family and friends,
school has been the one aspect of my life that has

ever give it a second thought. Yet on a more

Anti Semitism And Sartre

In Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew, he makes
reference to the notion that anti-Semitism arises
not against individual Jews, but against the "
idea of the Jew. " That is to say that the Jew is
recognized only as a member of a group associated
with fear and disgust, not as an individual
capable of being anything but the stereotype of
the Jew. I agree with Sartre's theory as I have
seen first hand the disgust associated with being
Jewish. The Jew is judged not by his action or
words but simply by the ...

Summary of Investigation An investigation was
carried out to find out the relationship between
the force created in a wire (or solenoid) when
current flowed through it and the force from
gravity. This was investigated by connecting a

through the solenoid, a magnetic force created
from the solenoid should make the ring 'jump' up
or levitate. When carrying out...

Taking Into Consideration Feminist Theory
887 words
Feminists rely chiefly on the contention that the
traditional analysis of world politics is
fundamentally gendered. Gender-sensitive analysis
begins with the premise that societal institutions
are made by humans and are therefore changeable by
humans. Feminists systematically deconstruct the
notions traditionally held by realists and taken
for granted as how the world works.
Gender-sensitive analysis takes many factors into
consideration that the realist does not. As
history dictates, the world,...

Worker Bees Dominant Male

Altruism is thought of as being behaviour
exhibited by one individual to benefit another,
with no direct gain but at some cost for that
first individual. Apparent altruism is the idea
that although behaviour may seem to be fully

actually a gain for that individual. Genetically
this gain tends to refer to the fitness of the
individual i. e. their reproductive success. It
was Darwin who first suggested the problematic
paradox introduced by some alt...
