What is China's interest in occupying Tibet?

I would say the one of the primary reasons China occupied
Tibet in the first place was to display to the World the superiority of the newly
created communist regime that had come into power. One has to remember that China broke
all prior treaties which had been created between the rulers of Tibet and those of China
after the communists defeated the nationalists and won the civil war that had started in
China, in 1950.

The reasons for the continuation of Chinese
occupation include the discovery of large deposits of natural resources in Tibet which
include copper, lead, zinc, etc.

The glaciers in Tibet also
form a large resource of water which is essential for China and also acts as a leverage
against India, the largest rival of China. Some of India's most important rivers
originate in the glaciers of Tibet.

What does the word Howl mean when Parris says They Will Howl Me Out Of Salem?

It is important to remember a few details about this
quote. One, at what point of the play does he say this ( the context of the quote)? The
other, why does playwright Arthur Miller choose the word "howl" to characterize Parris
in this line?

one:

The quote
is referring to Parris' response to Thomas' comment of the possibility of  being accused
of having witchcraft in his house. Parris lives in constant fear of his community.  He
does not trust his
parish.

Two:

Remember that in
plays the characters are developed through the words they speak. They are carefully
chosen by the playwright for that reason.

So, let's look at
the word howl. The definiton of "howling" is an sound/action of a group of wild dogs
often heard at night after a successful hunt. The connotation ( shade of emotional
meaning) is more powerful when the word spoken gives the audience perspectives that a
character is feeling.

Parris is a fearful character who is
constantly sucked in by the antics and hysteria of others. Parris' use of "howl"
illustrates his attitude toward the "pack of wild dogs" that is his community. The use
of  language is Miller's way of illustrating Parris as a character and reveals how
Parris feels about the other members of his community.

If
Parris would have said "they will run me out of town" it would not have the same
imagery.  "Howl" is a  derogatory (  put down) in reference to members of his community.
Parris obviously does not respect the people he serves: he thinks of them as wild dogs
that will hunt him down if given a reason.

What is the role of poet according to emerson with reference to essay, ''poet", discuss.what are the functions of a true poet addvocated by emerson?

The poet, according to Emerson, has to be just about
everything. 

He has to be a seer into the soul of man, he
must be an interpreter and a
prophet.

 I
know not how it is that we need an interpreter; but the great majority of men seem to be
minors, who have not yet come into possession of their own, or mutes, who cannot report
the conversation they have had with
nature. 

Mankind may see
things about them in their world, but so very few ever put into words a great expression
that impacts, that influences, that makes value of the every day mundane to all other
men. This is the power of a poet that interprets.

The poet
must be a foreteller, a
prophet:

readability="9">

The sign and credentials of the poet are, that he
announces that which no man foretold. He is the true and only doctor; he knows and
tells; he is the only teller of news, for he was present and privy to the appearance
which he describes.

The poet
must have the ability to color and accompany life. This is
the difference between watching television in black and white or on an HD LCD screen in
living color. This is the difference between a tinny cheap radio and a live
orchestra.

We
hear, through all the varied music, the ground-tone of conventional life. Our poets are
men of talents who
sing.

Poets must have
imagination, and they must have energy.

Bring out the comparison between the world and the stage in the soliloquy of Jaques in As You Like It.

This important and incredibly famous soliloquy is
delivered in Act II scene 7 in this play. In this soliloquy, Jacques compares the world
to a stage, and the people that inhabit that world to players who act out a role on the
stage and play many different characters during their
lifetime:

All
the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They
have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many
parts,
His acts being seven
ages.

The more you think
about this extended metaphor, the more truth we see in it as we recognise that way in
which our lives are "acted out" in front of audiences. We do indeed all have our "exits
and entrances," and as the soliloquy goes on to demonstrate, we all play different roles
during our lifespan. As Jaques goes on to describe these "seven ages," we are forced to
see how our role changes and develops as we grow older, until we reach the seventh age,
with the rather terrifying image of being left with "second childness" and "mere
oblivion." And on this age, the curtain falls on our life.

Analyze William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" in chronological order.

Reassembling William Faulkner's short story, "A Rose for
Emily," is no easy task since it is told in a manner that includes multiple shifts in
time. Chronologically, we first hear of Emily in her 20s, "a slender figure" pictured
with her father in a photograph. Emily's father died while she was in her 30s, and she
refused to allow the body to be removed from the house for three days. "She was sick for
a long time" after that, and when she next appeared her hair had been cut short. She met
Homer Barron soon after. Their romance was a short one. Some of Emily's relatives
visited to discuss her relationship with this Yankee working man. After the relatives
left, Homer reappeared, but soon he was gone--but not before Emily had made an unusual
purchase of rat poison. Not long after, a smell was noticed about the Grierson house,
and some townspeople soon spread lime around the outer fringes of the home to eradicate
the smell. Soon, it, too, was gone.

It was a long time
before Emily was seen again, and her hair was turning gray. She gave china painting
lessons for "six or seven years, when she was about forty." Soon after, she was greeted
by a delegation to inquire about her taxes, which she refused to pay. After the children
stopped coming for the painting lessons, Emily was rarely visible. Only her manservant,
Tobe, was seen, except for an occasional glimpse of her sitting in a downstairs chair.
She died at the age of 74.

Following her death, Tobe
disappeared. The funeral was held "on the second day" afterward and was attended by
several of her cousins and men in Confederate uniforms. After Emily "was decently in the
ground," a group of men arrived to inspect the old house. They found the upstairs
bedroom locked. When they broke the door down, they found the skeletal remains of a
man in the bed with a yellowed pillow beside his skull: It had the indentation of a head
and on it lay a single iron-gray hair.  

How Does Jem change?? And What does Scout learn about Calpurnia?

i think what jem went through is more than just physical
growth.

1) he was able to see the bigger picture to
situations when he told atticus that dill had runaway from hom- "broke the remaining
code of our childhood." because he understood

that his parents would be very
worried.

2) jem learns that it is pride, not
pain (a kind of "manly thought")and begins to treasure
relationships.

he goes back to retrieve his pants even
though he could have lost his life - nathan radley said he would shoot if he saw anyone
in his collard patch. even scout discourages him- "a lickin' hurts but it doesn't last."
yet, he knows that atticus would be dissapointed in him and he didn't want this to
happen. "atticus ain't ever whipped me as along as i can remember and i want to keep it
that way." this shows that to gain apprival from atticus, he is even willing to lose his
life.appreactiation of relationships can also be seen when he cries when nathan radley
sealed up the knothole. "i saw that he had been crying."

3)
jem learns that things are not in black and white but in shades of grey and that people
are not as pleasant as they seem.

he saw people as
segreggated as he grew older- "four kinds of folks in the world", "Why do they go out of
their way an' despise each other?" he felt like he was a "caterpillar in a cocoon"- he
had never knew these harsh facts of life.

4) jem learns to
sympathise and empathise

roly poly bug- he told scout
"don't do that" when she tried to squish it.

boo radley-
"maybe he doesn't want to come out......"

he is more
sensitive to the defenceless.

as for scout and
calpurnia,

1) scout learns that cal can bring herself down
to the level of others when required because "folks don't like it" when you try to "put
on airs to beat moses." she is a sensitive character and a respectable one as
well.

hope it helped! i was trying to do my own
revision too.  (:

What is the point of view in the novel and how does it affect the book and why?

In The Catcher in the Rye, the
point-of-view is first person flashback told in "sweet style" teenage vernacular
arranged in an episodic structure to show a humorous and rebellious tone.  The narration
also adds psychological depth of an alienated narrator caught in an unjust society.  The
last two points below (K. & L.) are key.

Here are
the nuts and bolts from my lecture notes:
