She dwelt among the untrodden ways-Analysis
She dwelt among the untrodden ways -By William Wordsworth In the elegiac poem "She dwelt among the untrodden ways", by William Wordsworth, a sense of loss and grief is conveyed as the personal feelings of the poet are described to us. We are told throughout the poem of the poet's deep love for an unmarried woman named 'Lucy'. We are also told that she is unnoticed by all others, but him. The poet describes to us where Lucy 'dwelt', her beauty, his love for her and her 'death' in this poem. In the first stanza we are told that Lucy dwelt among the 'untrodden ways besides the springs of Dove'. This implies many meanings. Literally, it refers to where she lived. The phrase 'beside the springs of Dove' gives us an image of a fairly remote area, away from the city, closer to nature. It also tells us that she lived in isolation and solitude. The reason for this however is not clear; maybe she chose to live there or was forced by some circumstances to do so. Metaphorically, it could be referring to the deeper aspects of her life, such as what she did or who she was. The use of the word 'untrodden' tells us that she did not presume a 'normal' lifestyle, or she chose to do something that was not accepted by society. To be precise, we can say that she chose an 'extraordinary' or 'unique' way of life which could be called 'eccentric' by some. If we look closely at the sounds in the
Spanish Coursework
Spanish Coursework El año pasado fui a Barcelona con mi familia. Barcelona es la capital de Cataluña y está situada en la costa, rodeada por la sierra de Collserolla, al norte y los ríos Besós al este y Llobregat al oeste, y a menos de 150 kilómetros de los Pirineos. Viajamos en avión con "British Airways". El viaje duró dos horas, era bastante rápido. Salimos de Gatwick a las 6:30 de la manaña. Llegamos a las 8:30 en Barcelona aeropuerto. Los asientos eran muy cómodos y tuve mucho espacio. Así como todo la comida de avión estuvo ¡estupendo! Fui con mi familia, mi madre, padre, mi hermano, mi hermana y la amiga de mi hermana, Sarah. Pasamos 14 días en "el hotel de Barcelona". Reservamos cinco habitaciones dobles con ducha. Las habitaciones eran espaciosas, con televisión y vistas al mar. Las habitaciones eran color diferente según la persona en la habitación. Mi habitación era verde. El hotel era muy bonito. Generalmente hizo buen tiempo. Por la mayoría de las vacaciones hizo mucho calor y mucho sol, creo que porque no hizo viento. Pero en la noche siempre no estaba nublado y hizo bastante frió. A veces, llovió y cuándo llovió, ¡llovió! Barcelona es conocida en todo el mundo como una ciudad cultural, con un importante patrimonio y una oferta permanente y dinámica. La ciudad ofrece innumerables posibilidades para disfrutar del tiempo libre.
Specialised Cells
With the aid of annotated diagrams, discuss the relationship between the structure and function in four specialised human cells. By Mark Cannan. Within the human body the cell is the smallest living organism, it is a microscopic package that contains lots of different organelles that are necessary to survive such as mitochondria, nucleus, Golgi body, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, lysosomes, cytoplasm just to name a few. Cells were first discovered by Robert Hooke, an English philosopher in 1665 and from there, a cell theory was formed. Through the improvement and development of microscopic technologies, cells were looked at even closer and separated into two categories, prokaryotic (bacteria) cells and eukaryotic (animal) cells. There are over two hundred different types (in all shapes and sizes) and it is estimated that there are over 50 trillion cells in the human body. Cells reproduce all the time through mitosis to replace damaged or dead cells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Simplified_spermatozoon_diagram.svg (Accessed 30/10/09) The picture above is an illustrated diagram of a spermatozoon cell, otherwise known as a sperm, which is the male reproductive cell. Starting from puberty and leading through to old age, the testes will produce over a thousand sperm cells every second. The sperm goes through a process called spermatogenesis; this is
Outline and Evaluate Bowlby's Theory of Attachment
Outline and Evaluate Bowlby's Evolutionary Theory of Attachment Bowlby's theory is an evolutionary theory becuase he believes attachment is a behavioural system that has evolved because of its survival and reproductive value. Caregiving is adaptive because species have adapted over many years to enhanse survival of the offspring so they can later reproduce. Bowlby's theory is made up of many different ideas. According to Bowlby, children have an innate drive to become attached to a caregiver. This is similar to that of imprinting which is an innate readiness to develop a strong bond with the mother figure which takes place during the sensitive period. Since attachment is innate there is likely to be a limited window for development. This is said to be when a child is 3-6 months when a child is most sensitive to an attachemnt. After this stage attachment can become more difficult. The internal working model is a cluster of concepts about relationships and what to expect from others. In the short term it gives the child and insight into the caregivers behaviour. In the long term it acts as a template for future relationships as it generates expectations. This is similar to the continuity hypothesis and the idea that emotionally secure infants go on to be emotionally secure, trusting and confident adults. Social releases elicit caregiving such as smiling, crying, looking cute
Outline and evaluate research into obedience
________________ Outline and evaluate research into obedience (12 marks) Obedience is complying with an order from another person to carry out an action. Many studies have been conducted into looking at obedience in people and what factors in a situation lead people to obey. Milgram (63) conducted a study to find out whether ordinary Americans would obey an unjust order from a person in authority to inflict pain on another person. Milgram gained a volunteer sample of 40 males from a range of backgrounds who were each paid $4.50 and were deceived into thinking they were giving electric shocks. The participants were told the study concerned the role of punishment in learning. The participant had the role of a teacher and a confederate played the learner. He had to memorize pairs of words. The teachers role was to administer a shock every time the learner made a mistake. The teacher had 30 levers each indicated the level of shock to be given. The participant watched the confederate being strapped into the electric chair. The learner began to answer correctly but then made mistakes. Shocks started at 15 volts and rose in 15 volt increments up to 450 volts. The researchers encouraged the teachers to give the shock when they hesitated. However no shocks were actually administered. The experiment continued until either the teacher refused to move on or 450 volts were reached and
Outline and Evaluate the Multi Store Model of Memory.
'Outline and evaluate the multi-store model of memory' 12 Marks Created by Atkinson and Shriffin in 1968, the multi-store model proposes that memory consists of three 'stores'. Information from around us (sensory input) initially goes into the sensory memory store. A lot of what goes into the sensory memory store we don't even realise: things we see around us, sights, smells, everyday things. But, if you pay attention to these details, they will go into your short-term memory store. This short term memory store only has a limited capacity (the amount of information it can take) and duration (the length of time it can hold this information for), which means that either it is lost, or it is transferred into the long-term memory store. In order to do this, we need to rehearse it, for example, when you revise for exams, you go over things again and again, in order to store the information in your long-term memory, and remember it in the future. However, in everyday life, remembering things such as a particular smell isn't something which you need to do repeatedly in order to remember it, which suggests that the model lacks mundane realism. In day to day life, we don't spend time rehearsing information, which begs the question; does information have to pass through your short term memory store and then be rehearsed to reach your long term memory store? Furthermore, this model
Animal farm
Animal farm Through Animal Farm Orwell teaches us that no one in a position of power can remain true to their original cause, Discuss. George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm was written to teach people a very important lesson. That few people who have an opportunity to take control and gain power will stay true to their original aims and beliefs. Animal Farm tells a tragic story that aims to prove that human nature and diversity prevent people from being equal and happy. The story takes place on Manor Farm, where animals are overworked and underfed by their drunken human master Mr Jones. However, the animals on this farm catch the wind of rebellion and decide to rise up against their masters. This is all sparked by a dream that a boar named Old Major had about a unique place where animals ruled themselves and where everyone is happy and equal. When Old Major died, the animals acted quickly and were able to overthrow the humans. Their new idea of government was known as animalism, and it was agreed upon that each creature would work according to their capability and respect the needs of others. Seven commandments were agreed upon and all animals swore faithfully to uphold these laws. The laws were: no animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, kill another animal, those who go upon four legs or have wings are friends and those that walk on two legs are
Animal Farm Essay
Animal Farm Essay 'Animal Farm,' a novel by George Orwell, has a theme based around power; how it is abused and how it's used in a good way. 'Animal Farm' also explores how it is transferred between characters as the story progresses. It is also fair to say that every event that takes place on 'Animal Farm' has a political significance which mirror the events which took place in the Russian Revolution. The characters in the novel represent famous political figures from history. I think that George Orwell wrote 'Animal Farm' because he wanted to make people actually think about what the novel and the characters contained in it represent. Power on 'Animal Farm' ends up being totally abused - I think that George Orwell's theory is that when one person has absolute power, it corrupts completely, and that it will never work. At the beginning of 'Animal Farm' we see how Mr Jones is at the top of the power 'hierarchy;' he has the most power, although it's more of an authority that Jones has over the animals compared to him having power. In a way, Jones having all the authority over the farm was a good thing, as all the animals knew where they stood, however, the normal farm animals, who represent the citizens of Russia, wanted more authority and power over the ruling of the farm; the country in Russia's case. Fed up with slaving for Jones and getting nothing except the bare
Animal Testing
Is Animal Testing/Research Necessary for Advancing in Medicine? Introduction: Animal testing involves using non-human animals for scientific procedures. Animal research can be used for a number of things such as developing new drugs to improve health, learning about animals and the human body, aiding scientific advances and ensuring other products do not harm humans. Vaccinations against diseases like polio, rabies, measles, mumps and rubella were developed because they were tested on animals. Also the development of open-heart surgery and organ transplants depended on operations done on animals. In 2006 approximately two million animals were used in procedures. Animals that are normally used in tests and experiments include: rats, mice, rabbits, monkeys, guinea-pigs, cats, dogs, fish, birds, pigs, horse, sheep and hamsters. This pie chart shows the types of animals used in procedures. A large proportion of experiments are conducted on mice. (1) Those who are extremely against animal testing (animal rights activists) would refer to it as 'vivisection'. This means the 'cutting up of animals'. They refer to animal testing being morally wrong and cruel. However this is just one view, others are not so against animal testing. Others may believe that animal testing is necessary for some purposes for example medicinal purposes yet not for beauty products. Methods of
Assess the contribution of functionalism to our understanding of families and households.
Assess the contribution of functionalism to our understanding of families and households. Functionalist sociologists believe that the family is the key institution of society and that it performs vital functions for the maintenance of society as a whole as well as for individual members. According to Murdock, it provides important sub-system that provides stable satisfaction for the sex drive and therefore avoids social disruption. As well as this, Murdock says the family reproduces the next generation and thus ensuring current society to continue. Parsons argued that the pre-industrial society was focused on the extended family. Roles in these families were always based on ascription, not achievement. According to parsons, industrialisation had many effects on the family. This meant that the economy demanded a more geographically mobile workforce. Nuclear families were formed as people moved away their extended kin in order to take advantage of job opportunities. Specialized Agencies took over many functions of the family e.g., families could now buy food and clothes mass-produced by factories. New nuclear family provided the husband and wife with clear social roles. Wives were expressive Leaders (takes care of children and provides emotional support), Husbands were Instrumental Leaders (bread winner and provides protection). Parsons concluded that the nuclear family is
