Ode to a Nightingale VS. Ode to a Grecian UrnI was asked to write an essay to discuss Keats’ lines “Heard melodies are sweet, but those...

Just a little correction, it is Ode
On a Greacian Urn which many people mistake for Ode To A
Grecian Urn.

In my opinion the "unheard melodies" from the
grecian urn and the heard melody of nightingale serve the same purpose,ie, to take him
away from this world of chaos and misery. The only difference being that Keats hears the
unheard melody of pipers as an audience whereas he becomes one with the nightingale as
he listens to its song, so much so that he chants

"I can
not see what flowers are at my feet

Nor what soft incense
hangs upon the boughs"

and at the end comes out of the
trance saying;

"Was that a vision or a waking
dream?

Fled is that music--Do i wake or
sleep?"

whereas Ode on a Grecian Urn concludes
with

Beauty is truth--truth beauty, that is
all

Ye know on earth and all ye need to
know.

On the other hand the unheard melodies
takes the poet to the past where he contemplates on breed of marble men, mad persuit,
struggle to escape, pipes and timbrels and wild ecstasy---to the things which are
already dead; eternalised on the Urn whereas the voice of nightingale makes the narrator
say

"Thou wast not born for death. Immortal
bird"

The gist-both the songs are the viewless wings which
take the poet to the artistic world of nature.

What is a summary for chapter 13 of "Lyddie"?

Chapter thirteen begins with Betsy declaring that the factory working girls are equivalent to slaves.  Diana agrees with her.  Lyddie simply can't convince herself that she is a slave.  After all, she is at least getting paid for her hard work.  Because of the building tension between Lyddie and the two other girls, Lyddie begins to avoid them.  She throws herself into her work, and is one of the factory's top producers.  She is working up to four machines at one time.  

Lyddie also writes a letter home to her family explaining her successes, hard work, and attempts to pay off all of the family debt. I believe that she is looking for any kind of support that she can find at this point.  As the chapter progresses, the reader learns that Betsy has indeed decided to sign the petition for better working conditions.  Betsy is fired for it, and then she decides to apply to attend Oberlin College.  

As Lyddie is stressed to max with her efforts to work so many machines at one time, she is injured.  Fortunately, Diana is an incredibly loving and caring individual and doesn't avoid Lyddie the way that Lyddie avoided her.  Diana helps care for Lyddie's injury and even arranges for Lyddie to see a doctor friend of hers.  All at no cost to Lyddie.  

In "A Jury of Her Peers," why did the women choose to hide the evidence of finding the bird?

At first, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are stunned, but soon they find reason to both empathize with their former classmate and friend, Minnie Foster (now Wright.)

As Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters talk, they feel guilty about ignoring Minnie; they always found some excuse to put off the visit. Her husband was cold and cruel and made the women feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. But as their conversation continues, the pair recall the Minnie of their youth. Mrs. Peters says, "She -- she was kind of like a bird herself. Real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and fluttery. How -- she -- did -- change."

As the women watch the investigation, they realize just how isolated and mistreated Minnie had been during her marriage. Then Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters discover the dead bird:

" "Somebody wrung its neck," said she, in a voice that was slow and deep.

And then again the eyes of the two women met--this time clung together in a look of dawning comprehension, of growing horror. Mrs. Peters looked from the dead bird to the broken door of the cage. Again their eyes met."

They knew immediately that this was the event that pushed Minnie over the edge.

"She liked the bird," said Martha Hale, low and slowly. "She was going to bury it in that pretty box."

The two women, feeling compassion and comraderie, make the silent decision to hide the evidence.

There is a difference of only one amino acid in one chain of the hemoglobin of humans and gorillas. What might have caused this difference?

Humans and gorillas are descended from a common ancestor.
Because there is only one difference in amino acids in the hemoglobin of present day
humans and gorillas, it is likely that the ancestor had identical hemoglobin to one or
the other. Evolution happens by natural selection of one genotype over another. The
differences between individuals of a species occur by mutations of the genes. The short
answer to your question is that the difference was caused by a random mutation of the
DNA of the common ancestor, which was then carried down to present day humans and
gorillas.

Explain what the author's purpose is when she describes Mr. Underwood's participation in the lynch mob scene in To Kill a Mockingbird.Note...

As the editor of Maycomb's newspaper, Braxton Bragg
Underwood serves as a neutral voice of reason in To Kill a
Mockingbird. Underwood rarely leaves his office, and this is one of the
reasons he is silently standing guard over Atticus and the jail on the night that the
lynch mob arrives. It is also possible that, as the eyes and ears of the town, he, too,
has heard the rumor that Tom Robinson will be paid an unexpected visit while Sheriff
Heck Tate is on a "snipe hunt." Because most newspapermen attempt to be fair and
unbiased, Underwood (named after one of the Confederacy's most reviled
generals) probably hoped for a fair trial; in any case, he must have decided that Tom,
at the very least, deserved his day in court.

Atticus'
comment later that "Braxton... he despises Negroes, won't have one near him,"
illustrates even more strongly Underwood's desire for justice. His editorial following
Tom's death shows no sign of his hatred of African-Americans: He is, first and foremost,
a newspaperman who keeps his own personal prejudices out of the
story.
