This investigation was done inside specially constructed glass wasp nests. Each sound was kept at the same loudness during the investigation. Interpret the table below to learn the results of the investigations. Sound Frequency (Hertz (Hz) = cycles per second Change in Activity Level 30 Hz to 400 Hz Normal activity level stayed the same

this paper, I will discuss a play by Athenian playwright Aristophanes, The Wasps. First, I shall give a brief overview of the The Wasps. Then, I will examine the courtroom scene of the play and argue that Philocleon is not an impartial juror. Next, I will discuss generational gap in Athens. Finally, I will conclude the paper with my outcome of the investigation of the conflict between Misocleon and Philocleon. The Wasps is a comedy that was performed in 422 BC, towards the end of the first Peloponnesian
