.... type of polygon. A circle in fact, "that is considered a polygon because of the large number of small sides that the polygon contains. As the number of the sides increases, a polygon approximates to circle; and, when the number is very great indeed, say for example three or four hundred, it is the most difficult for any delicate touch to feel a polygonal angle." It is also safe to say that ii is very improper to feel another shape in the higher classes, so it is almost never done except in some cases of disrespect and rudeness. The average perimeter of the circumference of a c .....

The Maya character growing up was impressed by the field workers that would constantly pass through her grandmothers grocery store, with the suffering of their ill paid work. Right from the start of the novel Angelou demonstrates a humanistic sympathy for the Southern blacks.

.... her fate. Faced with the decision to defy the King and properly bury her brother, Polyneices, or leave his body unprepared for death as Kreon wished, she chose to obey the wishes of the gods and bury him. At the time of the drama, the Greeks believed that a decent burial was essential for the soul to be at rest. Kreon accused Polyneices of fighting against his own country and forbade all citizens of Thebes to prepare his body. Instead, it was left to decay on the field on which he was killed.

.... they end off the chapter with a Christmas play about the birth of Jesus. This is significant because Christmas to Christian’s is a symbol of birth. This could mean that there might be new hope for Jefferson. This is because Jefferson is currently on death row. Christmas does not symbolize death, but symbolizes birth. This could mean that Jefferson could get a new chance in life or at least will not be executed in the near future. Another important point is that everyone knew that this play is dedicated to Jefferson/. This could mean that the whole co .....

.... And, like the temptation in the desert, the Mariner is parched with thirst, "Water, water, everywhere,/Nor any drop to drink." And when the Mariner tries to pray for salvation, he hears a demonic voice, like Lucifer: "I looked to heaven, and tried to pray;/But or ever a prayer had gushed,/A wicked whisper came, and made/My heart as dry as dust." [ln 244] As the ghost ship approaches, "I bit my arm, I sucked the blood," in reference to Jesus' use of the wine at the last supper as his own blood. When the spirits move the ship, "Slowly and smoothly went the ship/Mov .....

.... nothing that can even come close to what was done with "The End", in terms of the rhythmic and melodic variation backing a complex story line. It builds to an effect of mood rather than a sequence of events. Morrison's masterpiece was almost pure poetry, which probably remains the single most astounding track the doors ever recorded. Jim Morrison uses words as much for their emotive effect as their meaning. The song suggests rather than states a mind filled with fears of sex, violence and death. Its the imagery more than the meaning of the words themselves that gets the .....
