Basho 1. Where and when does Basho start his travels? Basho’s journey starts from a 17th Century Japanese city called Edo (present-day Tokyo). He had a cottage in a quiet, rural part of the city. He left Edo in the Spring season, “ It was the Twenty-seventh Day, almost the end of the Third Month.” (p. 2112) 2. Why does Basho start his travels? Like many of us do, Basho was beginning to question the purpose of his existence. In comparison to what Dante was going through during the time he wrote

The moon, wind, and ocean shape and sculpt the earth. The moon gives the tides, and lights the earth at night. The wind molds the landscape of the earth, carrying dust, seed, and storm. The ocean erodes the earth, making sand where dirt and water meet. These different forces of nature make the earth what it is. In the novel Bless Me Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, Maria and Gabriel make Antonio who he is, playing essential roles in his development as a person. Maria and Gabriel give Antonio inner conflicts

1. As seen from temperate or tropical latitudes, the positions of the constellations shift gradually westward in the sky from night to night because (a) the Earth rotates on its axis. (b) the Earth revolves around the Sun. (c) the tilt of the Earth’s axis changes. (d) their right ascensions constantly change. (e) their declinations constantly change. 2. A star cluster in which the individual stars do not show a striking central concentration nor an orderly pattern or structure is

science could save it then." However, the setting is suddenly hopeful when Marvin talks of the dream for someday in the future: the reclaiming of Earth. “So, at last, Marvin understood the purpose of this pilgrimage. He would never walk beside the rivers of that lost and legendary world, or listen to the thunder raging above its softly rounded hills. Yet one day—how far ahead?—his children's children would return to claim their heritage. The winds and the rains would scour the poisons from the burning

Nasa’s Success in The Last Five Decades Nasa has had 135 space shuttle missions in its history but how many of them have been successful? And what have they done to benefit humanity? Nasa affects our daily lives more than you would think. All kinds of technology we have today was developed by nasa or somehow relates to the nasa program. Everything from highway safely, to baby food, to even firefighter gear can all be traced back to the discoveries of nasa. Nasa is a successful government program

The answer to this question is: the Sun. But! There are other things we can do with a trillion lions. First, we need to work out exactly how much lion we'll have if we have a trillion lions. This paper found that the average adult male Panthera Leo living in Kruger National Park in South Africa weighs 187.5kg, and so a trillion lions means we're talking about a sphere of lions with a total mass of 1.875 x 1014kg. To put it into context, that's about 20 times more massive than comet 67-P (which the

“It has been compared to the surface of the moon, here on earth. Parts of it look like Beirut or Fallujah after the firing stopped,” states, NBC News Reporter Brian Williams. The neighborhoods and buildings appeared to be third world, like a war zone occurred there. Broken windows, trash laden streets, drug transactions taking place right in front of the police, even during mid-day. Camden New Jersey is now reported as the most dangerous city in America, taking over for Chicago which has recently

currently under the surface of Mars was discovered in the form of flood-like gullies (Life). Deep subsurface water deposits near the planet's liquid core might form a present-day habitat for life. However, in March 2006, there is similar discovery on the Moon, which is believed to have never had liquid water on its surface (Life). In March 2004, NASA announced that its rover Opportunity had discovered evidence that Mars was, in the ancient past, a wet planet. This has raised hopes that evidence of past

IB Mathematics Standard Level Portfolio Assignment Task I Tide Modeling Kelvin Kwok In this modeling assignment, I will develop a model function for the relationship between time of day and the height of the tide. I will first show the data in a table form copied from the assignment sheet. Then I will use the data to construct a scatter graph of time against height, then I will develop a function that models the behavior noted in the graph analytically, and describe any variables, parameters
