How is Juliet guilty of causing the many deaths in Shakespeare's tragic Romeo and Juliet?

Juliet is more innocent than nearly any of the characters in Romeo and Juliet. Romeo kills two men, Tybalt incites Romeo by killing Mercutio, and Mercutio starts the fight with Tybalt. Lord Capulet and Lord Montague perpetuate the feud, and Friar Lawrence’s plan completely falls apart. Juliet only stabs herself.

Of course, Juliet’s passion for Romeo drives the plot forward and contributes to the tragic conclusion. She is supposed to marry Paris, a man of her father’s choosing, but she falls in love with Romeo. Finding out that he is a Montague does not dull her love: “My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown, and known too late!”

Two adults know about their relationship: Romeo tells Friar Lawrence and Juliet informs her nurse. Juliet speaks to both, and both the friar and the nurse approve of and arrange their marriage. When Romeo kills Tybalt and is banished, Juliet mourns for her cousin and her husband. However, she still refuses to marry Paris.

At the friar’s behest, Juliet pretends to die by drinking a potion. Because the nurse suggests Juliet finally relent and marry Paris, she does not let the nurse in on her plans. Romeo then slays Paris who stands by Juliet’s tomb. Juliet wakes to find Romeo’s dead body, and thus kills herself. Her existence as an object of love, her adoration of Romeo, and her feigned death contribute to the deaths of herself and Paris. Otherwise, she is hardly guilty of contributing to the other murders.

What is Tom working on in "Contents of a Daed Man's Pockets"?

When the story begins, Tom is at home, working on a project for his job at the grocery store. We can tell that he's eager to do this work well, but that he feels a lot of pressure and keeps getting distracted. (Most of us can identify with that, right? We start to get stressed and to procrastinate when the task we're working on is both difficult and important!)

Here's something Tom says to his wife, which reveals that the project he's working on could potentially bring him success, recognition, and more money at work:

"You won't mind though, will you, when the money comes rolling in and I'm known as the Boy Wizard of Wholesale Groceries?"

As the story continues, readers learn that Tom has been researching a better, more profitable way to display groceries within the store. We figure this out just after Tom's most important page of notes and data gets lifted up by the breeze and flies out the open window.

Here are the details from the story that explain how Tom did his research:

On four long Saturday afternoons he had stood in supermarkets counting the people who passed certain displays, and the results were scribbled on that yellow sheet. From stacks of trade publications, gone over page by page in snatched half-hours at work and during evenings at home, he had copied facts, quotations, and figures onto that sheet. And he had carried it with him to the Public Library on Fifth Avenue, where he'd spent a dozen lunch hours and early evenings adding more. All were needed to support and lend authority to his idea for a new grocery-store display method; without them his idea was a mere opinion. And there they all lay in his own improvised shorthand--countless hours of work--out there on the ledge.

These details reveal that Tom wasn't simply coming up with a good idea to try restructuring groceries in the store so that people will spend more money: he was also finding the data that would support his idea, which would show his bosses at work that he's really considered the method from a serious, analytical, systematic point of view. His project might sound dull to us, but to Tom, it fills him with excitement and hope. So we can understand that when his notes fly out the window, he's desperate to get them back.

Why does Dee want the quilts?

Dee has formed a new identity. She has embraced her African heritage and has relinquished her African-American identity and the life she knew with her mother and sister, Maggie. Named for her Grandma Dee but now called Wangero, Dee has parted with her family name as well. For better or worse, Dee (Wangero) has moved on from her old life. Therefore, she now views things from her old life as trinkets or antiques. She asks for the butter churn, intending to display it as a centerpiece for a table. She also wants the quilts stitched by hand rather than the quilts done by a machine. This makes it seem like she understands the sentimental quality of the quilts as well as the craftsmanship. However, she only appreciates the latter. And instead of intending to use them for "everyday use," as they were intended, she means to display them like pieces of art. This is less of an homage to her family heritage and more like a quaint display of what Dee thinks is an old-fashioned, obsolete way of life. There is nothing wrong with Dee moving on and embracing her African heritage and modern ways. But she does so in a superficial way and by forsaking her family heritage.

How can I come up with a good and catchy title for my persuasive essay about why homework is stressful?

To create catchy titles, it’s helpful to write down every word you can think of that relates to your topic.  Use a dictionary or a thesaurus to think of even more words that are somewhat similar to those you already have. “Homework” and “Assignment” may be close enough synonyms for either one to be used as your main title word. What other words do you consider good matches for “stressful”? Make a list, either on paper or in a word document. Then study the words and see if any patterns emerge or if any words work particularly well together.

Alliteration often makes a title more memorable. By using this tactic, we can come up with options like: “Anxious Over Assignments” ; “Allergic to Assignments” ; “Homework Hang-Ups” ; “The Horrors of Homework” ; or “Why Homework Hurts.” Another tactic is to be as outrageous as possible to get attention. Yet another is to twist or adapt a common phrase or sentence that everyone knows. If you’re still stuck after considering a page filled with possibilities, walk away and let it sit for an hour or two, or even a day, if you have the time. Then you can come back and look at your options again with a fresh eye. Good luck!

What is Tybalt's role in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?

Tybalt represents the ongoing feud between the houses of Capulet and Montague. He is indirectly responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet. He tries to provoke a quarrel with Romeo because he feels outraged at Romeo's party-crashing in Act I, Scene 5. When Romeo refuses to fight because he is now married to Juliet and wants harmony with the entire Capulet family, Romeo's friend Mercutio challenges Tybalt and is mortally wounded. Mercutio is an easy-going man as a rule, but he believes in defending Romeo's honor, and the honor of the Montague family, including his own honor, is compromised by Romeo's refusal to fight. So this endless feud between the two houses is still very much alive. Romeo is so angered by Tybalt's slaying of his good friend Mercutio that he challenges Tybalt to a sword fight and kills him. This leads to Romeo being banished from Verona by the Prince. The well-meaning Friar Laurence is also indirectly responsible for the tragic outcome of the story. His letter does not reach Romeo, who returns to Verona from Mantua thinking Juliet is dead. Romeo commits suicide, and then Juliet kills herself when she wakes up and finds her husband dead. The hot-tempered and impetuous Tybalt triggered the deaths of the "star-crossed lovers" with his belligerence. Without Tybalt, it is possible that Romeo and Juliet would have brought peace between their families through their love and marriage.

In Animal Farm, why is 'Beasts of England' abolished? In what way is the new anthem different from it? Why do the animals feel let down by it?

"Beasts of England" has unified and inspired the animals since before the Rebellion, but Napoleon abolishes it by decree. He has Squealer, his main propagandist, explain that the song is no longer needed because the dreams and ideals of the Rebellion that it expresses have already been achieved. The execution of the traitor animals earlier in the day completed the Rebellion, says Squealer. 

In fact, the song has become a threat to Napoleon's tyranny. The animals, not knowing how else to express their grief and disagreement with the execution, sing the song three times after the execution of the so-called traitor animals. It is a song of opposition and comfort that Napoleon wants stomped out, so he forbids it. Lyrics of "Beast of England," with five (one repeats, so there are six total) developed and different stanzas are full of imagery envisioning a better future. Here is one example:

Soon or late the day is coming, Tyrant Man shall be o’erthrown, And the fruitful fields of England Shall be trod by beasts alone.

Minimus's new anthem is much shorter, much simpler, and less filled with visions of a new order. It goes as follows: "Animal Farm, Animal Farm, Never through me shalt thou come to harm!"

The animals feel that neither the words nor the tune "come up to" the old "Beasts of England." They can't articulate exactly why, but a comparison of the rich, complex imagery and ideas of "Beasts of England," with its vision of a better, fairer, juster future for animals with the dull piece by Minimus shows that the second song does little to inspire or comfort the animals. This expresses a theme dear to Orwell's heart, that the dumbing down of language dumbs down thought and allows tyranny to flourish.

`int 2 / sqrt(-x^2+4x) dx` Find or evaluate the integral by completing the square

To evaluate the given integral:` int 2/sqrt(-x^2+4x)dx` , we  may apply the basic integration property: `int c*f(x)dx= c int f(x)dx` .

The integral becomes:

`2 int dx/sqrt(-x^2+4x)`

We complete the square for the expression `(-x^2+4x)` .

Completing the square:

For the first step, factor out (-1): `(-x^2+4x) = (-1)(x^2-4x) or -(x^2-4x)`

The `x^2 -4x ` or `x^-4x+0` resembles the `ax^2+bx+c ` where:

`a=1` , `b =-4` and `c=0` .

To complete the square, we add and subtract `(-b/(2a))^2` .

Using `a=1` and `b=-4` , we get:

`(-b/(2a))^2 =(-(-4)/(2(1)))^2`

              `=(4/2)^2`

              ` = 2^2`

              `=4`

Add and subtract 4 inside the` (x^2-4x)` :

`-(x^2-4x+4 -4)`

Distribute the negative sign on -4 to rewrite it as:

`-(x^2-4x+4) +4`

Factor the perfect square trinomial: `x^2-4x+4 = (x-2)^2` .

`-(x-2)^2 +4`

For the original problem, we let: `-x^2+4x=-(x-2)^2 +4` :

`2 int dx/sqrt(-x^2+4x)=2 int dx/sqrt(-(x-2)^2+4)`

It can also be rewritten as:

`2 int dx/sqrt(-(x-2)^2 +2^2) =2 int dx/sqrt(2^2 -(x-2)^2)`

The integral part resembles the integral formula:

`int (du)/sqrt(a^2-u^2) = arcsin(u/a)+C` .

Applying the formula, we get:

`2 int dx/sqrt(2^2 -(x-2)^2) =2 *(arcsin (x-2)/2) +C`

 Then the indefinite integral :

`int 2/sqrt(-x^2+4x)dx = 2arcsin((x-2)/2)+C`
