William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

Response to Monty Hall Problem

Statistical information is based on the probability of something to happen. Even though it does not depict certainty but just the odds of something to happen, it still holds value in my opinion. If the statistics say odds are 50% or even 75% then I might not get influenced by them, but when it says there is 80% or 90% probability like in the case of disease example and the users of Acme toothpaste then I would consider it is a very healthy trend. It is not advantageous to switch to door 2 after having selected door 2 ...

What we accept as knowledge today is not always accepted as true tomorrow. Knowledge is more than a collection of facts on a particular topic. That is just information. Knowledge includes the assumption of a greater understanding as to how the facts work together. This means establishing connections between the facts, establishing meaning, providing evidence, considering the implications and arriving at a level of knowledge with a reasonable degree of certainty. This allows the assemblage of a body of knowledge that can be viewed from different perspectives and provides insight into a topic and how it fits into the greater world around it. This makes knowledge ...

Many authors regard their work as being a single standalone piece of art. By this logic, it can be safe to assume that the authors work their literary pieces to stand out against similar genres of works. However, in some cases many different stories end up sharing the same motif and theme. In many cases like this, it is not because of two authors collaborating to come up with a theme, or lesson, to teach society but a stroke of luck. When forming their stories, authors use society around them to develop their characters, settings, and such so in ...

The god[s] find fault with flimsy vow or sacrifice.

The priest pities the dishonored Agamemnon.
As the bride price of the daughter was high,
Apollo deals death alone.
He unleashed the plague on the Greeks.
The soothsayer urges the king to heed the god’s desires,
Pay the price for the dancing-eyed girl to her father the priest.
The formal sacrifice will allow Agamemnon to keep his new bride
Since the marriage of Chryseis to the king appeases the god.
Atreus’ son, the warlord Agamemnon,
Desperate and pitiful, unlike twin black thunderheads,
Turned to the soothsayer:
You never give me a good omen.
You prophesy doom, and that ...

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

In the recent past, there is a growing accord, on whether Canada should take a serious action in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, there are challenges related to the political appropriateness of carbon pricing. The main problem is that should Canada implement a carbon price, its factories might be forced to relocate to other countries to evade the rule. Even if, other countries are supportive to Canada to price carbon, the paraphernalia will be bumpy across all its sectors. In addition, politicization efforts by comparatively more-affected divisions might intimidate the political feasibility of the policy.
