an analysis of algebra that was current then. Rene also paid particular attention to the theory of tangents to curves. Back then the current definition of a tangent at a point was a straight line through the point such that between it and the curve no other straight line could be drawn, that is the straight line of closet contact. Rene described his theory by giving the general rule for drawing tangents and normals to a roulette. The method that Rene used to find the tangent or normal at any

the exception of some, and this line strongly portrays that. It made me question whether the author realized that when he was a young man, and how it made him feel. The last couple of stanzas in this poem were again full of emotion, imagery and a sense of disappointment. Hoagland talks again about how the inside of a young man’s body could be described as a tractor, “revving their engines, chewing up the turf.” I think there’s a lot of frustration behind this line, because the idea of a tractor

Eltruda and An Ode to the Peace. In 1786, Helen Maria Williams published a two-volume poetry collection. The collection was titled Poems and A Song is featured there. A Song has six sections. Each section consists of one stanza that has four lines and an ABAB rhyme scheme. The metre is similar to that of an iambic trimeter. Moreover, there is a great use of punctuation. The poem’s central theme is love and how a particular emotional relationship affects the lyrical voice. The first stanza

Thomas Gainsborough presents a fabulous portrait of Grace Dalrymple Elliott. This is a full-length painting believed to be commissioned by her lover, Earl of Cholomondeley in 1777 (Major, 2016). This portrait goes beyond a simple painting of a mistress. Rather, Gainsborough’s portrait of Grace is a study of striking and noble beauty versus a celebration of female sexuality as a commodity. Gainsborough accomplished this art piece by using several uncommon practices in his portrait making techniques

bought one for myself and one for each of my brothers. Aside from each bite being a mouthful of onions, it was decent enough. Maybe he’d make more of a profit if he halved the amount of onions he used on each hotdog. I sit at one of the seats that line the aisles to eat my overpriced food. Beside me my brothers sit and eat their own hotdogs, the seats across the aisle remain empty much like most of the airport. The time comes to board the plane, the small space is filled and we take off shortly after

just singing along. The first two stanzas read: Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train Goin' anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train Goin' anywhere The first two lines of each stanza, “Just a small town girl / Livin’ in a lonely world” (1.1-2) and “Just a city boy / Born and raised in South Detroit” (2.1-2), describe two different people from two different settings, who are supposedly united when they take “the midnight

As an infant on my mother’s hips at the airport it never crossed my mind that things in my life were certainly never going to be the same in the months to come. My very first time at the airport was with my mom when I was eleven days old, and we were able to walk right up to my grandma’s gate to meet her. It was the very first time she met me. The next time I was in an airport was after I got of a plan to meet my whole family for the first time when I was just 2 months old. As before, my family was

The poem is likely about bells. In the first section, there are sleighs decorated with silver bells, which ring merrily in the winter night. The second scene takes place in a wedding, during which golden bells ring. The third section introduces itself with brazen alarm bells clanging as a fire wreaks havoc in the area, while the last section concludes itself with iron bells and a funeral to address the dead. The speaker is a person, and is likely an observer. Poe uses situational irony in section

Stanza 1: “The moon was a ghostly galleon…” The author compared the moon to a sailing ship to put emphasis on the fact that the sky is so vast, just like a sea. The “ship” is sailing the “sea”. Stanza 2: “And he rode with a jeweled twinkle, his pistol butts a twinkle, his rapier butt a twinkle...” The author includes the repetition to put emphasis on the fact the Highwayman seemed to shine. It gives the effect that the Highwayman is like a shining star. Stanza 3: “Over the cobbles he clattered
