...Comparative analysis Comparative Analysis of two works E M. Tu English Literature 125 M V 05 August 2012 Comparative analysis Comparative Analysis of two works The creative process is often filled with emotions, and throughout it, it is not uncommon to experience the whole gauntlet of highs, lows and everything in between. The poems, “poetry” and “constantly risking absurdity” are two works that are filled with similarities in the creative process and yet they are very different. These two works give insight to the creative process from each poet’s perspective. They are both excited by it, but they achieve their goal through traveling different routes. As much as they like and appreciate the finished product you cannot help but believe that they are just as fascinated, captivated and even enthralled by the process itself. The creative process for them is a lot like certain aspects of life, and it is demonstrated in their work. Ferlinghetti’s experience is not one made up purely of joy, in fact; it is filled with struggle, but it is a journey in search of joy and of beauty. He must take risks and is willing to do so in pursuit of the desired goal every time he performs. He starts his poem in a manner using words that immediately catches your attention. You are immediately drawn in by his description of the risks that a poet must take each time he performs before an audience. There is always the possibility that he may end up looking like a fool (risking absurdity)...

...The Wire Paper “The Wire” was a television program that aired on HBO from 2002 – 2008. It has received 2 Emmy nominations and is a critically acclaimed program that had received very positive reviews when it was still on the air. The characters on the program, both criminal and judicial, are all well-developed, rounded characters that help to display a realistic view of life in Baltimore, Maryland. One of the criminals on the program is a man named Omar Little. Barack Obama stated that Omar Little was his favorite character on the program: “He is not my favorite person, but he’s a fascinating character– a gay gangster who only robs drug dealers and then gives back. But he’s the toughest, baddest guy on the show, and he’s gay. He’s a fascinating character” (Goldman, 2009, p. 1). After watching several episodes of The Wire, it is easy to see why people like this character, even though he is a known criminal who has committed robbery and murder several times. Omar Little is a homsexual, black male, who is seen spending time with boyfriends, yet, he goes against the gay stereotype of being sensitive, and kind, and is one of the most dangerous criminals in Baltimore. He isn’t afraid to pull the trigger of his gun, and he participates in robberies of dangerous drug lords as well as getting involved in inter-gang rivalries. He displays a passion for poetry, and for Greek mythology (shown in Season 2). For a character like Omar Little to be understood, it is important to realize that...

...products used with sensors to document information relating to a process. Recorders usually have a pen that deflects as a percentage of input span, while paper moves beneath it at a defined speed in relation to time. The recorder output is an easy-to-read, continuous trend line. Dataloggers typically print the actual value of the input with a time stamp. The advantages of the datalogger include less paper usage, higher resolution of the reading, and less chance of misinterpretation of the data. Hybrid recorders are instruments that have both trend recording and datalogging ability. Some of these units also include features such as math calculations and communication ability to transfer data to a host computer for further analysis. Computers, which have become so prevalent throughout our lives, have become a major component in data acquisition. Depending on the skill level of the user and the products, the computer can take on several different roles. Two ways to classify computer-related data acquisition products are those that “plug-in” directly into the...

...inflows and outflows. Managers may hold cash for precautionary purposes because cash can buffer against unexpected contingencies or cash flow shortages; realized cash inflows may be less than expected. Precautionary cash holdings provide funding for purchases and repayment of debt, which are even more critical during tight credit periods when external capital is more difficult to acquire. Managers also have a speculative motive because cash holdings allow for the acquisition of positive net present value investments, where examples include strategic mergers or acquisitions. In these specific instances cash allows the buyer to move quickly, thereby avoiding a potential bidding war. 3. What are the five C’s of credit? Describe each.

...What is Data Communications? The distance over which data moves within a computer may vary from a few thousandths of an inch, as is the case within a single IC chip, to as much as several feet along the backplane of the main circuit board. Over such small distances, digital data may be transmitted as direct, two-level electrical signals over simple copper conductors. Except for the fastest computers, circuit designers are not very concerned about the shape of the conductor or the analog characteristics of signal transmission. Frequently, however, data must be sent beyond the local circuitry that constitutes a computer. In many cases, the distances involved may be enormous. Unfortunately, as the distance between the source of a message and its destination increases, accurate transmission becomes increasingly difficult. This results from the electrical distortion of signals traveling through long conductors, and from noise added to the signal as it propagates through a transmission medium. Although some precautions must be taken for data exchange within a computer, the biggest problems occur when data is transferred to devices outside the computer's circuitry. In this case, distortion and noise can become so severe that information is lost. Data Communications concerns the transmission of digital messages to devices external to the message source. "External" devices are generally thought of as being independently powered circuitry that exists beyond the chassis of a computer...

...and symbols, is termed “semiotics. [1] In this essay, we shall be using the techniques of semiotics, to interpret a poster of renowned Director, Martin Scorsese’s blockbuster movie, “Shutter Island”. According to Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles S. Pierce, two founding fathers of semiotics; a sign consists of “the signifier” and “the signified”. The signifier of a sign is the form in which the sign takes, and the signified stands for what the sign represents. [2] Let’s take for example, a picture of a young boy crying. In this scenario, the little boys face would be a sign, the act of him crying would be the signifier, and the signified would probably be that the boy is sad because something has gone wrong. Delving deeper into semiotic analysis, there are two types of relationships signs and signifiers can have with each other; they are syntagmatic or paradigmatic relationships. Signs and signifiers have a syntagmatic relationship when they come together to give meaning. On the other hand, they have paradigmatic relations when they can be compared with other signs or signifiers outside text and still make sense when replaced. [3] Using the previous example,...

...Marschaneil Brown Comparing “Sonnet 130” and “The Oven Bird” “Sonnet 130” written by William Shakespeare and “The Oven Bird” by Robert Frost are both sonnets, but written in a different ways. Even though they were written years apart, they have some similarities and differences. Each author does however make the sonnets their own by adding pieces that are unique to them. After reading both “Sonnet 130” and “The Oven Bird” readers are able to analyze each sonnet by looking at the poems rhyme scheme, form, and structure. William Shakespeare wrote “Sonnet 130” sometime in the mid-1590s, but it wasn’t published until 1609. “Shakespeare’s collections of sonnets are concerning four characters: the speaker, a handsome young man, an older woman, and another poet who is a rival of the speaker” ("An Analysis of Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare," n.d.). In “Sonnet 130,” the speaker in this poem, describes the woman that he loves in a very critical way, but claims that he does in fact love her. “The Oven Bird” was written much later in 1916 by American poet, Robert Frost. In the poem, the bird is personified as possessing the human characteristic of knowledge. Frost uses personification in order to send the message that bird has “knowledge and understanding of the different seasons and what occurs in each season” ("The Oven Bird - Robert Frost,” n.d.). Unlike “Sonnet 130” the theme of this poem is not love, but about life being too short. This Shakespearean sonnet is consisted of three...

...The next character I have chosen is Ambassador Louis Sears; I have described him previously as "the bad." Louis Sears had spent 18 years as a popular and successful American democratic senator. During his time as Senator, he earned the nickname Lucky Lucky Lewis because of the circumstances surrounding his election and reelection as Senator. Sears was not particularly please or desirable of the nickname. After his service as senator, feeling that the party owed him something, he sought the National committee for a long tenure in a Federal judgeship. During the 1950s a Federal judge made around $35,000, (2014 inflation adjusted figures it at $310,000) at the time there wasn’t an opening, so Sears was offered a job as Ambassador, making $17,500 (2014 inflation adjusted figures it at...

...How Modems Transmit Data DIGITAL TRANSMISSION OF ANALOG DATA Translating from Analog to Digital How Telephones Transmit Voice Data How Instant Messenger Transmits Voice Data VoIP IMPLICATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Teaching Notes Generally preconceptions about what analog and digital transmission are vary greatly among undergraduate students. For this reason it is necessary to spend at least about 3-4 hours covering this chapter. Make sure at first that the students understand the dual characteristic state of what constitutes a circuit- the concepts of logical and physical. Circuits are probably the most important aspect of comprehending the physical layer. A circuit can be viewed and generally is viewed as a wire or a cable. This is the physical aspect of the circuit. There is also a logical aspect of a circuit. It is not just how long, wide or what type of cable; it is also what it is that propagates through the cable. When I discuss circuits and media, I try to remember to hand around twisted pair cable, coax cable and fiber optic cable. I also try to link the media to common media with which the student are familiar: twisted pair to telephone cable, coax to cable TV cable, radio to cell phones, and infrared to TV controllers. If you can illustrate circuits in this or similar ways, coverage of the physical characteristics of circuits will not be as complex. On the other hand,...

...Multicultural Literature Analysis Amanda Hinton Prof. David McCarthy 06/29/2015 Multicultural Literature The word multicultural is self-explanatory; when added with the word literature, a whole new range of possibilities are available. Not only does it cover multiple cultures around the world, but it gives a connection between the author and the reader so that a vivid image of that culture is portrayed for the reader. The author gives them the opportunity to see a different culture through the eyes of someone who is from that culture, or has had personal experience with the culture. Authors from different cultures also gives the reader an inside look of what historical events impacted them the most and what they felt while they were experiencing it. Multicultural literature used in education would not only give people the opportunity of learning about a historical event from their cultures point of view, but they would also get the chance to learn about it from the personal experience that the authors from those cultures endured. Stories like The Lemon Orchard by Alex La Guma and Once Upon a Time by Nadine Gordimer gives the reader a more personal view of how their cultures endured during the historic Apartheid Movement. Other stories like Dead Men’s Path by Chinua Achebe and Or Else, the Lightning God by Catherine Lim gives readers an inside view of what other cultures experienced when the changing of the times came. Then there are stories like Good Girls Are Bad News...
