How does Bronte intend the reader to feel towards Mr. Lockwood at the end of the first chapter?Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights

Mr. Lockwood establishes the mood of mystery and Gothic
tone as the narrator of Chapter 1 of Emily Bronte's Wuthering
Heights.  For, he takes delight in the misanthrope, Heathcliff, as they are
both solitary and desolate men. In fact, Lockwood feels that they are a suitable pair
because they can "divide the desolation between us."

Yet,
part of the reader's impression of Lockwood is that he may be rather like his
nomenclature, somewhat "locked" into his own perspective.  He possesses "a sympathetic
chord" for Heathcliff without really knowing him, declaring that he knows "by instinct"
that the man has an aversion to effusive displays of feelings.  In addition, Lockwood
believes that Heathcliff loves and hates "under cover."  Apparently, Lockwood projects
his own ability to express love to a woman which has caused his loss of her, to one of
Heathcliff's idiosyncrasies as well.

Certainly, the reader
is somewhat perplexed by the narrator, Mr. Lockwood, who ends the first chapter with the
remark that he feels so much more sociable than Heathcliff--and he has declared himself
a misanthrope!

Vitamin D is created from _________ by skin cellsA. DehydrocholesterolB. CholesterolC. HydrocholesterolD. Hydrodermis

I agree with lachicdina's post
above.

Vitamin D is created from exposure of the sun to
ultraviolet light (UV).  Vitamin D3 is created in the skin when Dehydrocholesterol-7
(Answer A) reacts with ultraviolet light.

To explain
dehydrocholesteral a bit further...it is a type of cholesterol in the skin that responds
to ultraviolet light when the sun hits the skin. It is then converted into Vitamin
D3.

*Fun Facts about this topic: Vitamin D is essential for
life in higher animals! It must be supplied in the diet on a regular basis (most of us
get it automatically just from our diet and/or being exposed to the sun--however, if you
live in say, Alaska or other parts of the world that do not receive adequate
sunlight--you may require additional supplements.) Insufficient vitamin D can result in
Rickets.

In chapter one of Ethan Frome, how can the atypical engineer be trusted by the reader as a narrator?Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome

Among the traits of the typical engineer are a strong
analytical and logical mind; an engineer has a mind for detail and is technically
educated; he also possesses a skilled manner of
communication.

The narrator of Ethan
Frome, who has been sent on a job connected with the powerhouse at Corbury
Junction that is delayed because of a carpenters' strike,finds himself at odds at first;
however, he settles into a routine as he finds himself "anchored at Starkfield." There
he learns of Ethan Frome, and after the town's horses fall ill in an epidemic, he must
rely on the broken figure of Ethan Frome to drive him to the train in Corbury
Flats.

That the narrator is atypical of a technical,
mathematical, and analytical engineer is evinced in his comments about Frome as he first
rides with him,

Ethan From drove in silence, the reins loosely
held in his left hand, his brown seamed profile, under the helmet-like peak of the cap,
relieved against the banks of snow like the bronze image of a hero....He seemed a part
of the mute melancholy landscape, an incarnation of its frozen woe, with all that was
warm and sentient in him fast bound below the surface; but there was nothing unfriendly
in his silence.

Here a more
artistic and intuitive personality, rather than a dispassionately logical and analytical
nature that characterizes the narrator/engineer. To conceive of Frome as heroic and
almost mythical, is clearly a supposition on the part of this narrator. However, he does
typically communicate well with Frome, who offers him shelter for the night at his farm.
And, the chapter ends with the narrator telling the
reader,

It was
that night that I found the clue to Ethan Frome and began to put together this vision of
his story.

The use of the
word vision yet suggests that the narrator is not constructing a
story that is totally factual, totally documented, totally objective; this action on the
part of the narrator is atypical, also. Thus, as critic Cynthia Griffin Wolff notes,"it
[the story]bears the imprint of the narrator's own interpretation,and is, therefore,
somewhat ambiguous." Wolff concludes that the narrator's relating of Frome's tale wavers
from concrete reality in that it depicts his own

shadow self, the man he might become if the
reassuring appurtenances of busy, active, professional, adult mobility were taken from
him.

The line between the
narrator as the teller, and the narrator as part of the story often become confused, and
because of this ambiguity, the story is not one of a typical engineer. And, certainly,
Chapter I indicates the narrator's personal perceptions of young Ethan's feelings which
could easily be reflective of his own as he walks through the snow and looks into the
windows. Lines such as these,

It was during their night walks back to the farm
that he felt most intensely the sweetness of this communication....it seemed to Ethan
that the art of definition could go no farther, and that words had at last been found to
utter his secret
soul.

suggest the blurring of
the lines between the narrator as storyteller and the narrator as part of the
story.

In the novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, please analyse the following quote."...remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy...

This quote is said by Faber to Montag and is very
important in the way that it presents a reflection upon society and how it operates.
According to Faber, what makes Beatty so dangerous is the way that he represents the
"solid, unmoving cattle of the majority." This points towards the way that society is
ruled and driven by this sector of the population. Those who are in the mainstream and
do not want to challenge the status quo or are not capable of thinking of a different
way of living life are always the biggest threat to "truth and freedom" as Faber states.
The metaphor he uses to describe this sector of humanity compares them to unmoving
cattle which are happy to be herded by those above them and are not able to grasp their
own destiny in their hands. We are presented with these kind of people in the form of
Mildred and her friends in this novel. Note the way that Mildred either doesn't
recognise or chooses to ignore her suicide attempt, and also consider the episode when
Montag reads them all a poem and how they are unable to cope with or even comprehend
going against the established system of order. The "solid, unmoving cattle of the
majority" is thus a force that presents a major obstacle to the development of "truth
and freedom," and Faber is correct in his analysis.

What are the major themes in Romeo and Juliet and how do they contribute to the tragedy of the play?information on themes- death, fate and love

A few different themes you could explore in Romeo
& Juliet are:

1.
Love

Love is the dominating theme in Romeo &
Juliet. More specifically, examine the way love controls these two young people and
causes them to act hastily and without consideration for consequences. They love each
other, but they lack the maturity to deal with that love in a constructive way. Their
love for each other causes them to abandon their family and friends. Romeo abandons his
friends Mercutio and Benvolio after the party in order to seek out Juliet. Juliet tells
Romeo to "deny thy father and refuse thy name...or wilt thou not, but be sworn my love,
and I'll no longer be a Capulet." Love also leads to defying the rules that govern them.
Romeo, banished from Vernoa, ignores the Prince's ruling and sneaks back in to see
Juliet anyway. This ultimately leads to both their
deaths.

2. Love as a cause of
violence

Shakespeare explores the chaotic side of love in
this play. Although a love story, it is full of violence and death. Their relationship
is marked by death from the moment it begins. At the feast where they meet, Tybalt
claims he will kill Romeo for his intrusion. Tybalt does end up killing Mercutio over
Romeo's actions, and Romeo in turn kills Tybalt. Both Romeo & Juliet are haunted
by suicidal thoughts over the course of the play. Their love cannot immediately
supercede the hate that divides their families, so thoughts of dying rather than living
apart control their thoughts and actions. Love and passion also lead to Paris being
slain by Romeo at Juliet's tomb.

3.
Fate

The theme of fate is a major part of Romeo &
Juliet. Although their actions lacked criticial thinking and their own immaturity and
failure to control their emotions led to their deaths, the idea this being their fate is
the basis of the play. The Chorus calls them star-crosses lovers at the onset. Perhaps
it was their destiny to die young. In addition to the audience being aware of this fate,
Romeo & Juliet appear to be cognitive of it as well. Just before entering the
Capulet house for the feast, Romeo has a premonition of something bad happening that
will lead to untimely death. Later, when he believes Juliet is dead, he cries "then I
defy you, stars." Their love seems to be in oppostion to what fate has in store.
Examples of this include the extreme hatred between the families (which is never
explained) that keeps Romeo & Juliet apart, the series of events that unravel
Friar Laurence's plan, and the awful timing of Romeo's suicide just as Juliet wakes up.
It seemed as if their fate was not to be with each other, but to die
trying.

What is the climax of The Book Thief?

The climax of a story is the moment of greatest emotional
intensity, when we have been led to a high point through the rising action to a
significant moment of suspense. In this novel, the climax comes at the end of the novel
when Liesel's world is literally blown apart by a bomb raid, and all that she knows and
everybody that she loves (almost) is killed:

readability="10">

In the space of a few minutes, all of them were
gone.

A church was chopped
down.

Earth was destroyed where Max Vandenburgh had stayed
on his feet.

Death is shown
to move around all of the people, friends and family of Liesel, claiming each one of
them. However, Liesel is saved because she was in the basement of her house, and thus
she is pulled out to face another day and does not meet Death ultimately at this point
in the story. She is left to be looked after by the mayor's wife and to be reunited with
Max at the end of the tale.

Why is Faber so critical of himself and pessimistic about the world when he is first introduced in Fahrenheit 451?

Faber believes he is guilty by having been silent when the
fictional society in Fahrenheit 451 began to deteriorate, and books
became demonized, professors and authors and teachers were arrested or killed or driven
into exile.  He feels badly about himself for not trying harder to prevent
it.

Now, as the firemen burn house after house and war
drifts closer, Faber sees little hope.  He feels too old to do anything now but live
with his guilt, and until Montag reveals his own crisis of conscience, that there is no
one to help him fight back.

This is why he agrees to talk
Montag through his next meeting with Captain Beatty and with Montag's wife and friends
at their house, he sees a glimmer that he might be able to restart peoples' ability to
think and question independently again.
