...due to personal tragedy that they had suffered in their own personal lives. While this subject matter was daunting, it was still part of life that some people unfortunately endured as did James Russell Lowell and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. They each wrote poems that were both written due to personal tragedy that they both endured. “The...

...burning, burning the unburied grain. Robert Lowell History History has to live with what was here, clutching and close to fumbling all we had-- it is so dull and gruesome how we die, unlike writing, life never finishes. Abel was finished; death is not remote, a flash-in-the-pan electrifies the skeptic, his cows crowding like skulls against high-voltage wire, his baby crying all night like a new machine. As in our Bibles, white-faced, predatory, the beautiful, mist-drunken hunter's moon ascends-- a child could give it a face: two holes, two holes, my eyes, my mouth, between them a skull's no-nose-- O there's a terrifying innocence in my face drenched with the silver salvage of the mornfrost. Robert Lowell Lowell was born in Boston, Massachusetts to a Boston Brahmin family that included poets Amy Lowell and James Russell Lowell. His mother, Charlotte Winslow, was a descendant of William Samuel Johnson, a signer of the United States Constitution, along with Jonathan Edwards, the famed Calvinist theologian, Anne Hutchinson, the Puritan preacher and healer, Robert Livingston the Elder, Thomas Dudley, the second governor of Massachusetts, and Mayflower passengers James Chilton and his daughter Mary Chilton. He received his high school education at St. Mark's School, a prominent prep-school in Southborough, Massachusetts, where he met and was influenced by the poet Richard Eberhart who taught at the school. Then Lowell...

...Percival Lowell is an English astronomer who according to David Grinspoon, embarrassed planetary astronomy (Grinspoon 406). Lowell is regarded in history as an embarrassment because of his theory about canals on Mars and how they might have been a home to intelligent aliens. During that time, it was reasonable to assume Lowell’s theory was preposterous because of the lack of information about Mars. But since the recent discovery of water and our increased knowledge about Mars, Lowell’s argument appears to be a potential source in our search for other worlds. Lowell’s theory about Mars canals should be reviewed and reworked, because it may lead us to the answer behind the search. The idea of canals being on Mars stemmed from an incorrect interpretation by Percival Lowell. The “canals” were first discovered in 1877 by an Italian astronomer,...

...The report on film “Insider” The most interesting thing is that the film was put on the events, which only recently had taken place in America. The real names of main characters of the story, played by Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, are Dr. Lowell Bergman and Uigand. Dr. Uigand actually testified in court against the tobacco company "Brown & Williamson" (by the way, the management of the company after the movie has filed a lawsuit against the producers of the film) and convinced the court of justice, so then in fifty U.S. states have filed lawsuits on tobacco companies for a total of 246 billion dollars. Many of these claims have been satisfied and called a real panic among the tobacco workers, because it was a first precedent when the tobacco workers were found guilty. Prior to this, tobacco companies do not ever lose in the court, spending on lawyers and attorneys huge money. I have already heard about these processes, and still could not figure out what it was about. But this film put everything in its place. This is not about that tobacco itself is addictive and harmful for health. The question is what chemical elements and compounds the tobacco companies add in production of cigarettes to have "better taste", "better smoke" and so on. Ammonia and nitrate - not all of that stuff, which adds a certain cigarette "taste", and many times increases the addiction to tobacco, the risk of lung cancer and other illnesses. That's the whole point. Smokers consciously endanger...

...Associates, decided to build America’s first architecturally planned industrial community. The newly built town was called Lowell. Lowell was a mill town with incredible power-driven machinery, and it became a major part of the American textile industry. What was more impressive were the girls hired by the Boston Associates to work in their mill factories. Lowell was called a “female paradise.” The town of Lowell was named after Francis Cabot Lowell after he returned from Europe with new ideas of a power loom, cotton spinning frame, and other machines that he had seen in Europe. He hired Paul Moody, a mechanical genius, to help him create even better versions of these machines. The advanced machinery only required minimal labor experiences, but men didn’t like working these kinds of jobs so Lowell hired women instead. Boarding houses were provided for the young women to live in, and they were paid higher wages than what women eared anywhere else. Lowell then created the Boston Manufacturing Company, which prospered from all of its...

...The river that the mills used for power was the Merrimac River. There were water blocks to control the water flow; too hard or too slow would affect the speed of the wheels and therefore the accuracy of the looms. This was better known as the gate house. The river would also be strained once a week or so when the mills were not is use, in an attempt to clean some of the sewage out. People dumped most of their trash and pollution in the river, making it black and smell bad. In fact, most of the city was quite messy. The flowers and nice brick walkways that are along the river in Lowell now are recent additions, and none of that sort of thing was to be seen in the Lowell before. Most of the buildings are made of brick or wood. The tall and large...

...Individual project PHASE 1 Lowell v. DWI By Name For Professor Robert Throop The Legal and Ethical Environment of Business – MGM365-0701A-04 2007 The pending Lowell v. DWI clearly deals with both Private and Public Law. “A Private Law is a contract between two individuals.” (Jennings p. 4) In this case the Private Law was a contract that came into being between Mr. & Mrs. Lowell and DWI booked and or signed the registration forms for their cruise. At the time of booking Mr. & Mrs. Lowell were promising to pay a certain amount of money in exchange of the pleasure of taking a relaxing vacation. By doing do they agreed to the term and regulations of this agreement; entrusting their well being to the cruise ship. DWI also made a promise to look out for the best interest of their client in the forms of comfort, security and safety. “The cruise industry’s highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of its passengers, crew and vessels. The industry has an enviable record when it comes to security and safety and in 1995; the U.S. Coast Guard emphasized that record when stating that passenger vessels are among the safest mode of transportation.” (CLIA) Furthermore; the Private Law also exists between the employees (crew members) and their employers (DWI). Cruise ship employers take steps to ensure that their employees that they intend or will hire are screened. “Each crewmember holds a U.S. seafarers...

...In 1894, Lowell Observatory was founded by the astronomer Percival Lowell. The Lowell Observatory is located on top of one of the mountains in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States. It is one of the firstborn observatories in the United States, and it is one of the largest observatories in the world. It is very hard to start an observatory in the nineteenth century because of four main things. First, in the nineteenth century, there was a lack of technology, and the experts in technology had the minimum equipment to help in the field. Furthermore, there was a lack of experience, and there were not many experts in the field. In addition, there was a lack of funding, and it was hard to open an observatory on personal fund. Moreover, finding the perfect...

...Imagine you were an old and you had this stranger watching you would you run or let him keep watching you? The narrator of “The Tale Tell Heart” watched the old man sleep for 7 nights on a row. In the beginning of the the book he talked about an illness. and he killed the old man over his eye. also after he killed him he smiled at the corpse then he chopped him into pieces. The reason that i think that the narrator is insane is because. in the beginning of the story he talked about an illness and back in the 1800’s there was not a lot of advanced medicine. and he could of had any disease. And he is arguing with himself that he is not insane. and that is normally a sign that you are insane. I think he is insane because. near the end he...

... Have you ever read a book and felt the author used certain sentences to describe an event better for you? Have you ever felt the author has compared to another in an attempt to explain it? By using them the author can better describe the events of a story and better convey the theme or message. Therefore the reader can infer what is truly trying to be stated or conveyed through the text. In the story “The Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe does exactly this. In “The Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe, the author uses descriptive language to develop the theme. One such is, “The old man vexed me with his evil eye.” This indicates to the reader and gives a visual explanation of what the old man looks like. This also shows what drives fear in the Protagonist at looking at the old man. His eyes were old and accusing, as well as tired. Consequently the reader can determine what fear the Protagonist has of the old man, and develop an understanding of his thoughts. The second example of descriptive language is when the author states, “All, in vain, because death in approaching him, had stalked with his black shadow before them.” This states that he was near death, but treats death as a person coming for him to give a more descriptive, example as opposed to saying he was dying. Furthermore the author can better show you the events in more detail and cohesive writing, then just 2 dimensional words, like saying “He was about to die.” Consequently the reader can better...
