What effect did the Enforcment Acts have in Southern states?

The first of the three acts was passed in March of 1870.
The Enforcement Acts were:

criminal codes that
protected blacks' right to vote, hold office, serve on juries, and receive equal
protection of laws. If the states failed to act, the laws allowed the federal government
to intervene.

One effect that this act had is that
many Ku Klux Klan members were brought in for trail but very few were convicted. Many
whites would not testify because they did not agree with the act and many blacks would
not testify because they were afraid of standing up against the
whites.

In several counties in South Carolina martial law
was declared and many Klansman were sent to jail, ran off, or were hit with warnings and
fines. By 1872, the Klan was broken but this only lasted for a few
years.

What are some quotes that prove Lady Macbeth was only evil because it was necessary for her husbands sake?

Lady Macbeth is often said to be evil from the get go,
this however is not the case, our first meeting with Lady Macbeth see's her reading the
letter sent to her by Macbeth explaining the witches
prophecy.

Lady Macbeth has read the letter and started to
think, at first she is estatic with the news.

readability="7">

"Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what
thou art promised."

It is
then suddenly she realises that for Macbeth to be King, he would have to do away with
Duncan, but he lacks several qualitie that would make this
possible.

"
Yet do i fear thy nature. It is to full o' th' milk of human kidness to catch the
nearest way. thou wouldst be great, are not without ambtion, but without the illness to
attend it"

 She realises that
although Macbeth wants to be King he lacks the scruples to actually become King, it is
with this in mind that she decides to help him, and to do this she has "cross over to
the dark side"

readability="7">

" Hie thee hither that i may pour my spirits in
thine ear and chastise with the valor of my tongue all that impedes thee from the golden
round which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have the crowned
withall."

the quote
above can be seen as the first glimmer of"evil" from Lady Macbeth and relates directly
to her helping Macbeth.

With this in mind, her
solilquy in the next few lines can also be seen as her embracing evil to help her
husband achieve the throne. Also when she adresses Macbeth upon his arrival home she
tells him

" He
thats coming must be provided for; and you shall put this nights great business under my
dispatch, which shall to all our nights and days to come give solely soverign sway and
masterdom."

This
again highlights her plans to help her husband become King, whilst at the same time
being"evil".

Other examples can include her
telling Macbeth off in Act one Scene 7, when he tries to "chicken out" of killing the
King, Lady Macbeth has already scarificed so much to get this fair (namely her giving up
being a "woman") that she wades further into the darknes to help her hsband achieve
King. I would recomend quoting from line 35-45, 48-59 and finally towards the
conclusion of the scene where she outlines the plan to kill
Duncan.

What is the summary of "The Signal-Man" by Charles Dickens?

This chilling ghost story revolves around an encounter
between the narrator of this tale and a railway signalman. During their first meeting
the signalman tells the narrator that he has seen some ghostly apparitions. Actually,
the signalman at first believes that the narrator is another apparition, which explains
his fear of the narrator. He explains that the narrator's greeting was very similar to a
ghost that he has seen by the tunnel's mouth. So strange does the signalman act and
appear that the narrator initially suspects that the signalman himself is a
ghost.

The narrator returns to the dark and gloomy station
house the following evening and the signalman tells him more about the ghost that he
saw. It apparently resembled a man who appeared in front of the tunnel gesticulating
frantically and shouting "Look out!" Although the signalman contacted other stations,
six hours later, a terrible crash happened. Another time, the ghostly visitor returned,
this time appearing to be incredibly sad. Later, a woman died on a train passing by the
signalman. The signalman confesses to the narrator his guilt at not being able to save
any lives from these mysterious apparitions. Although the narrator would like to help,
he cannot think of anything he can practically do to assist
him.

Quite soon after this, when the narrator himself is
out walking, he too sees the same apparition at the mouth of the tunnel, frantically
waving some kind of warning, with its hand covering its face. Hurrying to the
signalman's station, he discovers that the signalman was ran over and died that morning.
A labourer on the railway informs the narrator that the signalman was with his back to
the oncoming train. Identical to the phantom that the narrator saw that evening, the man
covered his eyes so that he wouldn't see the death of the signalman as he continued
gesticulating wildly in warning.

What are two consecutive integers such that seven times the larger minus three times the smaller is 95?

We'll note the consecutive integers as x and x +
1.

Since the enunciation contains the terms "the larger"
and "the smaller", we'll identify the larger number as x+1 and the smaller as
x.

We'll write mathematically the
enunciation:

seven times the larger =
7(x+1)

 three times the smaller =
3x

7(x+1) - 3x = 95

We'll
remove the brackets:

7x + 7 - 3x =
95

We'll isolatex to the left side. For this reason, we'll
subtract 7 both sides:

4x = 95 -
7

4x = 88

We'll divide by
4:

x = 22

The
numbers are: x = 22 and x + 1 = 23.

What textual evidence proves that Othello is transcendent of typical Christian theology?For instance, many critics say that Othello represent...

Othello is a Turk culturally, but he is a Christian and in
the play, is fighting for Christians. He believes that the Turkish fleet has been
destroyed in accordance with God's will. When he starts to suspect Desdemona has been
unfaithful to him, he becomes somewhat obsessed with the handkerchief and almost treats
it as having magical powers, which would be very anti-Christian. This, of course, is the
work of the devil, in the form of Iago in this play. There are some instances where
Othello refers to Iago as a devil (calls him "cloven foot", "demi-devil" etc.) but Iago
refers to Othello as the devil, often focusing on his
blackness.

Othello believes killing his wife is justifiable
before God because he believes she has been unfaithful, but this goes against
Christianity which preaches love and forgiveness. Christianity would condemn Othello's
murder of Desdemona because the Bible says "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." In fact,
in the book of Hosea in the Bible, Hosea is instructed by God to marry a harlot (Gomer).
Israel has been unfaithful to God by following other gods and breaking the commandments
which are the terms of the covenant, hence Gomer symbolizes Israel who violates the
obligations of marriage to her husband. However, at the end of the book, God forgives
Israel, and in no way does God even suggest that Hosea should kill Gomer. So Othello's
killing Desdemona is not Christian. 

When Othello learns
that he has indeed killed his wife without reason, he realizes that he is condemned and
calls for his own death.

My view is that Othello is a type
of Adam in that he is a noble man brought down by sin, just like the rest of us. "All
have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." The conflict of the play is who is the
greater "devil" - Iago or Othello? I belive it is Iago because he does not repent,
whereas Othello is moral and does repent. He is sorry for his sin. His killing of his
wife is seen by some as "sacrificial", so Desdemona is not an Eve. She would be more
like a Christ figure because she is innocent, yet she is killed. Even though she is a
woman, she is the sacrificial lamb because she dies for her
love.

I don't know that I personally agree with the
statement that Othello "transcends" Christian theology because this would imply that he
is better in some way. I do think Othello illustrates Christian
theology, but he does not transcend it. He is brought down by sin, so how can he
transcend anything? He does not rise above sin. The way the play ends is tragic because
Desdemona dies and Othello has killed her for no reason. Othello succumbs
to the devil, he does not follow God's instructions to "resist the devil and
he will flee."

Others will have differing views, but this
is how I see it.

What different character traits does Victor exhibit at the end in contrast to how he is at the start of the novel?Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

As Frankenstein is a frame story, the
end is the beginning, and the middle is a flashback.

So, at
the end (or the beginning), Victor is half-delirious and mad (crazy).  Later, once he
unfolds his tale, Walton learns that his guest is good-natured and sad.  Then, Victor
becomes inquisitive and obsessed about knowing what Walton has seen regarding the
Monster.

In telling his flashback, Victor has learned a few
lessons in humility taught to him by his creation, the Monster.  Victor has learned to
curb his unadulterated passion, his curiosity, his reckless pursuit of knowledge, and
his hubris (pride)--all of which isolate him from his friends, family, and community.
 All these lessons he wants to tell Robert Walton to convince him from pursuing his
romantic dream, the passage to the North Pole, which may cost him many
lives.

Still, Victor is hell-bent on revenge.  He is
obsessed with killing his monster and, it seems, himself in the process.  He wants to
punish his creation and himself for all the lives they, together, have killed in the
process.

What do Rolfand Azucena do for each other in "And of Clay Are We Created"?

This is such a wonderful short story, and of course one of
the reasons for that is the way that the relationship between these two key characters
is presented. It is clear that Rolf is tremendously moved to view the plight of Azucena.
He stays with her and tries to support her. Yet the paradox is that in the end it
appears that Azucena helps Rolf more than he helps her. It is immensely significant that
in the penultimate paragraph, the author describes what they did for each
other:

I felt
how in that instant both were saved from despair, how they were freed from the clay, how
they rose above the vultures and helicopters, how together they flew above the vast
swamp of corruption and laments. How, finally, they were able to accept
death.

We have already seen
how Azucena managed to "unlock" a variety of emotions and experiences in Rolf, and here
we see that they are able to help each other accept death. I think there is particular
significance in the line "how they were freed from the clay." Of course, as the title
suggests, clay is a major symbol of the story as it suggests the inherent fragility of
humanity. Becoming "freed from the clay" therefore suggests that their acceptance of
death has allowed them to pass this and accept death with
equanimity.
