Setting The Stage For Learning About The Earth

The sand should be hot since the sun has been heating up the sand throughout the day. i. When you dig your feet into the sand you should feel cooler sand since the sun's penetration into the earth is limited. ii. This suggests that the Sun can only penetrate into the Earth up until a certain depth. iii.Based on this conclusion, one can assume that the Sun is not responsible for the Earth's internal heat since, we have heat hundreds of kilometers within the Earth and this can not be exp

The Romantics: John Keats and Samuel T. Coleridge

If you have any test reviews, homeworks, guides, anything school related that you think can be posted on this website, reach out to me at makingschooleasier@gmail.com   PART OF THIS ESSAY HAS BEEN  OMITTED  FOR FULL ESSAY COMMENT,EMAIL, LIKE, FOLLOW US                                    The Romantics: John Keats and Samuel T. Coleridge         The Romantic Period in England had six major poets, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, William Blake, John Keats, and Samuel Coleridge. For the purpose of this essay, the focus will only be on Keats and Coleridge. Although they were contemporaries, they each have very different styles of writing as is evident in their poetry. In “This Lime Tree Bower My Prison” an exemplary example of a conversation poem, the reader is able to see Coleridge’s thought process of how he realizes nature is everywhere around oneself, as long as all “facult[ies] of sense and…the heart [are] awake to Love and Beauty”.

O captain my captain and do not go gentle into that good night

If you have any test reviews, homeworks, guides, anything school related that you think can be posted on this website, reach out to me at makingschooleasier@gmail.com   In Walt Whitman’s “O Captain! My Captain!” and in Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”, the reader is presented with two venerable characters of different backgrounds; both which have deep admiration for the poem’s character. With the authors use of diction, figurative language and tone, the reader is able to see just how much some people have an effect on others and what their death brings upon the author and the reader’s mind. In Whitman’s poem, the reader is able to see the heavy use of metaphors throughout the poem.  Whitman’s entire poem is a metaphor. “Captain” is the metaphor for Abraham Lincoln, but on a first reading or without the footnote that is provided, this poem would be very ambiguous. The author’s tone throughout is very prideful and full of admiration towards the President. He
