Comparison of Poetry This essay compares and contrasts McKuen’s “Thoughts on Capital Punishment” and William Stafford’s “Traveling through the Dark.” Even though the two have comparable subjects, their rhythm and style differ. In my view, Stafford’s “Travelling through the Dark.” does better in conveying the message as compared to Rod McKuen’s “Thoughts on Capital Punishment.” I find that Stafford expresses his sentiments better than McKuen. An analysis of both poems portrays unhappy imagery of an animal slain why crossing a motorway. In McKuen’s “Thoughts on Capital Punishment,” the speaker starts by expressing a strong emotion towards individuals who drive carelessly and end up hitting innocent animals (McKuen, 2005). While reading the poem, I found that the speaker utilizes compelling word choice to make the readers empathize with how these innocent animals feel. Words like “hell, killing, and guts as elaborated by Cotter (2009), caught my attention, and I consider that the speaker was too harsh why delivering the message. Stafford’s “Traveling through the Dark” the speaker gives an emotional approach to the situation. Unlike the speaker in McKuen’s verse,…

Positivism Theory Introduction Positivism refers to the philosophical theory that maintains that certain or positive knowledge tends to be founded on the natural phenomena along with their relations and attributes. That is, the knowledge gained from the sensory experiences, and after that interpreted using logic and reason, always forms every certain knowledge’s exclusive source. Positivism, therefore, maintains that legitimate knowledge, which is either truth or certitude, can only be found in the posterior knowledge (Green, 2017). Given that positive facts or verified data obtained from such senses are referred to as the empirical evidence, and this leads to the observation that positives theory is mainly founded on empiricism. Further, positivism theory also maintains that the society, in a manner comparable to the physical world, operates as per the general laws. The intuitive and introspective knowledge cast off, similar to theology and metaphysics given that the theological and metaphysical claims are unverifiable through experience. In spite of the positivist approach being amongst the recurrent themes in relation to the western thought history, the approach’s contemporary sense was initially formulated in early…

Matrix mechanical plasticity regulates cancer cell migration through confining microenvironments DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-06641-z Unjamming overcomes kinetic and proliferation arrest in terminally differentiated cells and promotes collective motility of carcinoma DOI: 10.1038/s41563-019-0425-1 On a separate note, I want to explore as soon as possible on the possibility to co-fund a vibratome. Since this is the crucial equipment that I need soon, I am planning to use my remaining funding this year on it. The machine cost 18.5kSGD, including GST. I have almost 9k SGD equipment/OOE and therefore would need an additional 9.5k – 10k for that. Do you know if any lab would be interested in that? Kind wishes, Chon p.s. The model I chose is Precisionary VF-210-0Z, which includes all the latest tech for a smooth surface, except that the depth feeding is manual. The depth resolution is 10um, which is sufficient for our purpose (~200um). The 18.5 K SG(include GST) is calculated based on 14605 USD *85% (discount for this month) + 600 USD…
As We Are Now review Caro was resilient to the end. She struggles to fit in Twin Elms, a nursing home, which is run by Harriet Hatfield. Her experiences are listed in a journal, which she keeps to stop her mind from degenerating (Sarton, 2014). Accordingly, Caro’s life can be analyzed using the life course theory that focuses on the mental, social, and physical health in a life span and growth stages. The disengagement theory is also used in the analysis, as it explains how people disconnect from their social life as they grow older (Crossman, 2019). Caro’s life equally illustrates the challenges that the elderly face in nursing homes. The life course framework effectively and disengagement theory depicts the life of Caro Spencer, who defied the stereotypes associated with aging, such as dependency and poor mental and physical functioning, and took control of her life. Book Summary As We Are Now chronicles the life of Caro Spencer in Twin Elms. Caro’s brother John and his young wife, Ginny, take Caro to the nursing home. Harriet Hatfield manages the facility…
How is Daniel unique among Old Testament books? The book of Daniel has an overall message regarding the historical sovereignty of God. The general theme is about the superiority of God’s sovereignty over all the earthly kings. The book is also providing a general sovereignty overview and answer to the fundamental question concerning how God keeps on working His plans whenever they are looking lost. Therefore, David is unique in his way, considering his eschatological view of passage (Daniel Carroll R., 2015). According to Daniel’s perspective, he is different from the other eschatological passages. These other passages refer to the future perspective of the Israelites as well as the covenant promising to God’s people. However, Daniel’s eschatological passage has a different perspective regarding the purpose of empires in the secular world. He is also different in explaining the coming of the last kingdom of God. The book attempts to call for obedience and patience during the hard times different from the others advocating for the importance of repenting to God’s people. Discuss the problems in interpreting Daniel. Daniel…

Daddy by Sylvia Plath Sylvia Plat is a poet who is well recognized for writing “Daddy,” one of the most controversial holocaust poems. Nonetheless, some section of the controversy over her poem daddy is somewhat demographic. Sylvia is an American who is not connected to the holocaust autobiographically. Her father was a German but had nothing to do with the Nazis. In her poem, Sylvia has generally used holocaust and some genocidal activities against the Jewish people as an allegorical megaphone. By using similes in one of the stanzas like “Cuffing me off like a Jew.. to Auschwitz, Belsen, Dachau” add details to her psychological atrocities with her father (Ladin, 2006). It is common for non-Jewish poets to characterize the holocaust. Still, her case is quite outstanding because she has used it to minimize the orderly assassination of millions to express her confessions. The inclusion of the holocaust depicts how some of its terms have been integrated into everyday communication. It also recognizes the conflict between the rhetorical type and the contents of the holocaust. Concerning the big picture of…
