York Ballantine Books Handmaids Tale
1,140 words
Gilead: A Credible Society In Margaret Atwood's
novel The Handmaids Tale, a society whose purposes
are functional and practical roles is depicted. In
Atwood's eyes, a society like Gilead's was
perfectly credible, and in many ways I agree with
her. The purpose of writing about such a radical
society is not for one to panic into thinking that
this could happen any time, nor is it for one to
completely discard the idea. Instead, its purpose
is solely to warn us of the dangers already
present in our...

Joe Gargery Foolish Man

Great Expectations was written in 1861, right
after Dickens had divorced Kate, his first wife.
Dickens basically invoked his own emotions in the
story. It was where his heart lay. Also, anyone
who has read more of Dickens work can clearly see
his determination to avoid repeating himself in
this impressive gothic novel dealing with the
fortunes and misfortunes that befall the main
character Pip. At first, Dickens had started it as
a little humorous short story. Quoting Dickens
himself from a acco...

brutal murder of University of Wyoming student
Matthew Shepherd. All victims are equally

The Problem: I am going to find out how
temperature can affect the rate of reaction.

rates of reactions are: ? Temperature? an increase
in temperature will make the reaction occur
faster. This happens because the particles of that
substance move faster when it is heated. Because
the particles move faster, they would collide
more, making the reaction rate faster. ?
Concentration? the increase in concentration, the
greater and faster the reaction. Th...

photosynthesizing and the stomata are open, then
it will close the stomata, ending photosynthesis.
What the plant does next is undergo a
counterproductive cycle called photo respiration.
In the C 3 plant photo respir...
