What's your evaluation (opinion) of the book Black Beauty?

In my opinion, Black Beauty is a
wonderful piece of literature.  While many examples of "classic" literature are
difficult for young readers to decipher, this novel is not.  This particular book is
well written and engaging, and it can often be used as a instrument in encouraging the
reader to explore other pieces of English literature, as well as additional classic
literature.


The plot of the novel is easy to follow and the
chapters are short, which lends to it being an enjoyable read.  In addition, the fact
that the story is told from the viewpoint of the horse is interesting.  The development
of setting and character in this story are exemplary; this book is quite easy to
teach. 


Overall, the book is charming, but also includes
serious lessons on morality.  While the author, Anna Sewell, did not intend for
Black Beauty to be a children's book, it does appeal to young and
adult alike.  I believe that everyone should read this novel at some point. 
Fortunately, it is not a dry and difficult piece of literature, unlike some
others.

How would you describe the author's tone in The Hunger Games?

The author's tone in "The Hunger Games" is almost as
chaotic as the story itself.  The text itself is written from a first-person
point-of-view and this particular narration allows readers to see exactly what the
protagonist (Katniss) thinks, sees, and believes.  Therefore, the tone of the text
changes as Katniss changes.  At times, the tone is strong, willful, and promising. At
other times, the tone is fearful, angry, and scrutinizing.  Both the tone and Katniss
change as the story line changes.  Readers can find themselves anxious, angered,
enamored, and strengthened in the same ways that Katniss does- this all because of the
tone set in the novel.

What does book making in an IPO mean?

When the shares of a company are offered to the public for
the first time, the underwriter has to determine a price based on the assets of the
company and the expected future earnings, at which it would be able to sell the shares
of the company to the public.


Instead of choosing a fixed
price, this is usually done by choosing a band, within which offers are considered if
they are made. Depending on the number of applications received at each price, the
underwriter can determine the highest price at which it is possible to sell all the
shares it intends to. This is called the book building process. It allows the shares of
the company to be sold at the best price possible depending on the interest shown by the
prospective investors and help the company garner the most
funds.

In Hamlet, what are the three problems Hamlet faces at the begining of act 4?

It is very hard not to feel sorry for Hamlet in lots of
ways, though equally we might argue that he has acted
disproportionately to the situation that he faces. However, let us consider what has
just happened. Hamlet, doubting the veracity of the Ghost's words, organised a special
"Mousetrap" to see once and for all if what the Ghost said was true. It is clear that
one of the challenges he faced in the earlier Acts was whether to believe the ghost or
not. The "Mousetrap", of course, was a splendid success in establishing the guilt of
Claudius. Having his proof, Hamlet went on to challenge his mother with the truth and to
condemn her according to the Ghost's wishes. Of course, this tragically ended in the
mistaken killing of Polonius.


As he leaves at the end of
Act III, Hamlet knows he is facing a very difficult and perilous situation. He has just
killed the King's advisor, and now Claudius knows that Hamlet knows the truth of how
Hamlet's father really died. He is therefore a threat. Note how he talks of his two
fellow companions on the journey to England, Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern:


readability="15">

There's letters seal'd, and my two
school-fellows,


Whom I will trust as i will adders
fang'd,


They bear the mandate, they must sweep my
way


And marshal me to
knavery...



Hamlet's immediate
challenge therefore is how to resolve this situation and ensure that he survives the
trip to England and is able to return to Denmark and revenge his father in the way that
he has put off for so long before this point in the play.

Evaluate result of cos pi/6+sin pi/3?

In a right angle triangle, we'll note one cathetus as b
and the other one as  c and the hypothenuse as a.


According
to the rule of 30 degrees angle, a cathetus opposite to the angle pi/6 (meaning 30
degrees) is half from hypothenuse.


If b is the opposite
cathetus to pi/6 angle, that means that b=a/2.


In this way,
we can find the other cathetus length, using Pythagorean
theorem.


a^2=b^2 + c^2


a^2 =
a^2/4 + c^2


a^2 - a^2/4 =
c^2


3a^2/4 =
c^2


[a*sqrt(3)]/2=c


cos pi/6=adjacent
cathetus/hypotenuse


cos pi/6=
[a*sqrt(3)]/2/a


cos pi/6=sqrt3/2


sin pi/3=sin
60=opposite cathetus/hypotenuse


sin pi/3=
[a*sqrt(3)]/2/a


sin pi/3 =
sqrt3/2


cos pi/6+sin pi/3 = sqrt3/2 +
sqrt3/2


cos pi/6+sin pi/3 =
2sqrt3/2


cos pi/6+sin pi/3 = sqrt

What happens to the area of a triangle if the lengths of the sides doubled?

Let the sides of a triangle be a,b, and c, and let the height be
h.


Then We will assume that c is the base and h is the
height.


Then the area is given by :


A
1= (1/2) * c * h ...........(1)


Now when the sides doubles, the
sides are: 2a, 2b, 2c, and the height is 2h


==> Then the area
is given by :


A2 = (1/2)* 2c * 2h = 4*(1/2)*c *
h


But (1/2)*c*h= A1


==> A2 = 4*
A1


Then the area of the triangle is increased by a
factor of 4 if the sides are doubled.

Was Winston's rebellion always doomed or could it possibly have worked?In the final chapter of 1984.

In 1984, Orwell plays upon our hopes and
dreams the same way that the illusion of Goldstein and the rebellion played upon Winston's.  As
readers in a free, democratic society, we have bought into the American dream, the "rags to
riches" story of one man overcoming overwhelmng odds to become a success
story.


But, too Orwell, who saw firsthand the fate of the individual
in totalitarian governments (he was a journalist during many wars and rebellions), this story is
an illusion.  For the individual in communist U.S.S.R., fascist Italy, or Nazi Germany, there is
no hope, no dream, no rebellion.


There's no chance a rebellion of
one could work in these governments.  They control the media.  They control the technology.  They
control surveillance, profiling, and the secret police.  They control supply and demand of goods.
 They torture.  They control propaganda, information, disinformation, records, history.  They
even control children and the sexual mores.   In short, they are a well-oiled machine whose gears
and mechanisms are all-knowing, all-seeing, and untraceable.


An
individual plays by the rules, whether it is morality or integrity.  The state does not have any
rules; more, they have no conscience.  They only know pain and suffering.  Winston didn't stand a
chance.
