Discontent by Elizabeth Barrett Browning Explication The sonnet “Discontent” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning pinpoints two separate types of unhappiness, discontent led by a need to show unhappiness despite superficial subject matter, and a quiet pain that with time distances one from discontent and leads to submission to the will of God and the world. Browning examines these differences throughout the poem and emphasizes the meaninglessness of discontent and the distance brought by pain to show why

ULTRA-SONIC DISTANCE METER. Introduction to Ultrasonic Distance Meter The project Ultrasonic Distance Meter is a very interesting and useful project for many industrial applications. In this project we have used the ultrasonic waves to measure the distance in between two points. The basic principal is based on the speed of ultrasonic waves in open air. We have used a microcontroller AT89S51 to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves through 40 KHz ultrasonic receiver and transmitters. By measuring

hazel is an important understory tree in the deciduous forests of much of Europe… [It] can grow to a height of thirty feet” (Sayers 4). The trunk also splits at the bottom, instead of one trunk growing straight up, at a large base approximately two meters in diameter (Sayers 4). These background aspects of the flora of the area’s forests gives a better understanding of the natural habitat for this tree and plant. Since the hazel tree is often harvested for its wood in the trunks, this means that Tristan

Breaking Through BREAKING THROUGH Myrna Pena Reyes    Haltingly I undo the knots  around your parcel that came this morning. A small box should require little labor, but you’ve always been thorough,  tying things tight and well.  the twine lengthens,  curls beside the box.  I see your fingers pull,  snapping the knots into place  (once your belt slapped sharply against my skin)  You hoped the package would hold its shape  across 10,000 miles of ocean.  It’s not a bride’s superstition  that leaves

I was reeled in, just like the rest of the congregation, wondering what our Pastor was going to say next. She told us her story about how a woman, who had no car, no job, and no residential place to live, had passed through the little town of Van Meter, Iowa where my church is. The woman had a rolling cart with a makeshift tent, a few necessities, and dog food on it .

Even though there is the existence of such fighting force/bad feelings, the first meters were installed by the Dual Parking Meter Company beginning in July 1935; they cost a nickel an hour, and were placed at 20-foot periods of time (or space) along the curb that went along with/matched up to spaces painted on the hard road surface. Magee's invention caught on quickly: Stores loved the meters, as they encouraged a quick turnover of cars-and potential customers-and drivers were forced to accept them

Poetry like so many other things in life is complicated and easily misunderstood, similar to the poem entitled “Poetry” by Marianne Moore. Through her unique way of writing Moore uses literary devices imagery and personification to make the readers question why it is she has come to “dislike”(line 1) poetry. In particular, her word choice leaves a lot of room to wonder exactly why she has chosen to write it this way. A main theme that is represented in this poem is conformity and whether or not

Wislawa Szymborska poem “Brueghel’s Two Monkeys” starts out in a strange way. It begins out by what the author “dreams about final exams” (1). Oddly, what she sees in her dream is “two monkeys, chained to the floor” (2). The poem is about the human conditions in different settings of mankind. The monkeys are the things that of the poets dream about the exam. The monkeys are a symbol of the suffering of mankind—based on the chains—through the unpredictable events. As said in the last stanza, “One
