Thank you Ellaie! I owe you *big time*. It would've been late, but by a stroke of luck my teacher said I could hand it in tomorrow since I've been absent. This definitely helps, and I'm actually not confused on anything. I owe you a million!

THanks, Shapu! Question: About the Jabberwocky, does that have any literary devices? Like similes, metaphors, etc?

Similies are easy to pick out: look for "like" and "as."

Example: "She floats like a butterfly on the dance floor" is a similie.

Metaphors are substitution-based comparisons: "She was a butterfly on the dance floor."

To recap: If something is like something, it's a similie. If something is something, it's a metaphor.

Jabberwocky is interesting not for similies and metaphors, but because it contains an allegory, which is a type of metaphor. Metaphors can change meaning based on who reads the thing ("She was a butterfly on the dance floor" can mean that she floated, or that she was tiny and colorful, or both, or neither). Allegories are metaphors with constant meanings. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is an allegory for Christ. Anyone who reads it will instantly recognize the death to save others and the divine rebirth as based directly on the New Testament. Same with Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions with respect to Neo.

There's also a lot of imagery in the poem. It's nearly impossible to understand because Carroll made up all sorts of fun words. But it's there, and when you realize that much of it is auditory, it becomes a more immersive poem.

There's repetition, too, on multiple levels; phrases are repeated, and one stanza serves as a bookmark (here's a qood question: Why did Carroll repeat the first stanza at the end?).

She won't let me use Jabberwocky now because she wants to read it out loud.... Thanks anyway!

Hmm well no good at essays or anything but I did R&J this year and might tell you a few things I know (that you probably already know).

Mercutio (name derived from Mercury - hot volatile) likes to fight, always picking fights with the Capulet boys. Tybalt equally up for a brawl. In the scene where they fight the weather is hot and unpleasent - a sign of things to come. Romeo tries to make piece but ends up killing them both. Blah blah anyone else wanna take over

Sorry I'm no good at this but nobody replied so didn't wanna leave you hanging

I googled this, and I found a strange one, and one that I wouldn't eat...its called...

Chocolate Zucchini Cake


Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
3 eggs
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cocoa
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup milk


Directions:
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in zucchini and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add alternately with milk. Beat until well combined. Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool; frost as desired.

When zucchini is at it's peak, grind a freeze about 2 1/2 cup portions. During winter when you want to bake zucchini cake or zucchini bread; defrost; drain off excess moisture and you end up with 2 cups of zucchini called for in most recipes.

Hey guys, I need help.

In trigonometry, if I have the adjacent and hypotenuse and I need to find the angle that is between them. how do I do that, I've figured out the cosine ratio which is 0.8 but I don't know if it is relevant to figuring out the angle.

[zorg]

You need the angle, which is @ (i dont have any better symbol)

Cos@=adj/hyp

Cos-1 x (Adj / hyp ) = @

Caclulators should have the Cos-1 button somewhere

Either that or you have to press SHIFT or 2nd F or something, then Cos to get Cos-1.
