LIT 2001 FINAL EXAM Please respond with a complete, thoughtful answer. Be sure to provide detail by referring to specific examples. DO NOT USE OUTSIDE RESEARCH SOURCES. PART ONE: Answer ONE of the following questions: 1. Describe Langston Hughes’ view of America by tracing at least three of his poems. Also, describe the controversy around the manner in which Hughes portrayed African Americans in his poems. 2. William Carlos Williams uses an “open” style and format and Robert Frost uses a more “constructed”? What are the characteristics of each style – i.e., rhyme, etc. Use examples from their poems. PART TWO: POEM ANALYSIS DO NOT USE OUTSIDE RESEARCH SOURCES. Critically analyze this poem by discussing three major components of analysis: Please read all 7 stanzas of the poem. 1. What are some of the structural elements of the poem? Metaphor, rhyme, symbols, sounds, etc. 2. What does the poem mean? Explain the content of the poem. 3. What is the theme of the poem? To An Athlete Dying Young by A.E.Housman The time you won our town the race We chaired you through the market place; Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. Today, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay, And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears: Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honors out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge cup. And round that early-laureled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl’s. Hubble's Law and the Expansion Rate of the Universe This lab is based on the University of Washington’s “Hubble’s Law and the Expansion of the Universe” lab. The website where the images and spectra are located is maintained by the University of Washington Astronomy Department. Learning Objectives Using analyses of images and spectra of selected galaxies, you will 1. measure angular sizes of galaxies and find their distances, 2. measure the redshifts of galaxy spectral lines and find the recessional velocities of the galaxies, 3. create a Hubble Plot to determine a value for Hubble's constant, 4. estimate the age of the Universe from this constant and compare that to the age of the Sun and the Milky Way, 5. and summarize how our view of the Universe has changed as the value of the Hubble constant has improved. Background and Theory In the 1920's, Edwin P. Hubble discovered a relationship, now known as Hubble' ...

The author presents a case against reductionism based on the emergence of chaos and order from underlying non-linear processes. Since all theories are mathematical, and based on an underlying premise of linearity, the author contends that there is no hope that science will succeed in creating a theory of everything that is complete. The controversial subject of life and evolution are explored, exposing the fallacy of a reductionist explanation, and offering a theory of order emerging from chaos as being the creative process of the universe, leading all the way up to consciousness. The essay concludes with the possibility that the three-dimensional universe is a fractal boundary that separates order and chaos in a higher dimension. The author discusses the work of Claude Shannon, Benoit Mandelbrot, Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrodinger, Erik Verlinde, John Wheeler, Richard Maurice Bucke, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and others. This is a companion piece to the essay "Is Science Solving the Reality Riddle?"

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
