What are examples of characters driven by hate in Romeo and Juliet?

The character most driven by hate in Romeo and Juliet is Tybalt. He is, of course, a Capulet, and is Juliet's cousin. When he is introduced, Tybalt is about to fight Benvolio, a Montague, who he encounters in the street (Benvolio is actually trying to break up a fight between members of each house). He is so consumed with hatred for the Montagues that he nearly disobeys Lord Capulet's command not to attack Romeo at the family masque when Romeo shows up in disguise. Later, he comes looking for Romeo, and kills Mercutio when Romeo, having just married Juliet (and thus become Tybalt's kinsman) refuses to fight. Romeo kills Tybalt after Mercutio's death, and is banished for the crime. Lady Capulet reveals herself to be full of hate when she discovers Tybalt is dead, beseeching the Prince to execute Romeo and even telling Juliet she can have him killed by someone in Mantua. Overall, the mutual hate between the Capulets and the Montagues is the most important aspect of the plot, hanging over the love of Romeo and Juliet and casting a shadow over the city of Mantua itself. 

Why is Atticus so insistent on Jem and Scout acting politely towards Mrs. Dubose?

The lesson that Atticus teaches Scout during the incident with Walter Cunningham carries over to the event with Mrs. Dubose.  Atticus tells Scout to learn to walk around in someone else’s skin to begin to fully understand what someone is going through.  The lesson is the same for understanding Mrs. Dubose.  Although she yelled at Scout and Jem about Atticus defending Tom Robinson, Atticus wants his children to respect all people.  Mrs. Dubose has an addiction to morphine, and vows to break her addiction before she dies.  Atticus understands this and wants Jem to show compassion.  Mrs. Dubose is a symbol of the racist South that is in the throes of change.  Her addiction is like Maycomb’s “addiction” to racism. 

Atticus also teaches this lesson of respect and compassion to Jem when Dill and Jem keep pestering Boo Radley.  Atticus is a man who understands and accepts all types of people.   To him, the most important lessons are on respect.   

In To Kill a Mockingbird what do the kids find out about their father?

At the beginning of Chapter 10, Scout gripes about how her father does nothing interesting or special. She says that Atticus is old, nearly blind, and does nothing that could possibly "arouse the admiration of anyone." (Lee 118) When Scout compares him to her classmate's parents, who hunt and play poker, she says that all Atticus ever does is sit in the livingroom and read. Later on in the chapter, a rabid dog named Tim Johnson is staggering through the streets of Maycomb. Sheriff Taylor gives his gun to Atticus, and Atticus kills Tim Johnson in one shot. Jem and Scout are awestruck at their father's ability. Miss Maudie tells the children that Atticus' nickname growing up was "Ol' One-Shot Finch." (Lee 129) The children are shocked to find out that their father was the "deadest shot in Maycomb County." After finding out about their father's ability, Scout tells Jem that she can't wait to brag about Atticus to her friends at school. Jem tells Scout not to say anything because if Atticus wanted the children to know his talent, he would have told them. Atticus is a humble man who felt that his marksmanship ability was a God-given.

From Cofer's "American History," how is El Building described and what is its significance?

El Building is located in Paterson, New Jersey during 1963. The main character, Elena, describes it as being right on the corner of Straight and Market streets. She also says that it housed mostly Puerto Ricans who blasted salsa music from their windows at all hours of the day. One person would turn on his music and another would turn on hers to drown out the first. Around the building outside one would usually see children playing and the unemployed complaining.

Near the end of the story, Elena goes next door to study with her neighbor Eugene, but his unfriendly mother opens the door. The mother asks Elena, "You live there?" and points to the building. Elena explains that at that moment, the building "looked particularly ugly, like a gray prison, with its many dirty windows and rusty fire escapes". The color gray is not hopeful or bright and happy image. It seems like a color that says, "blah." All of the images certainly paint a picture of poverty and struggle, but the people inside are not without hope and love in their lives. Unfortunately, Eugene's mother only sees the different culture, and possibly the poverty, and dismisses Elena.

The significance of El Building is that it is like many other apartment buildings across the nation that house immigrants who moved to the United States to seek out a better life. Some may use the building as a temporary stopping place on their way to bigger and better things. Others may live there for years without hope of leaving, but they still hope to provide better futures for their children.

Whatever feelings Elena or Eugene's mother have for El Building did not matter on the day that John F. Kennedy died. El Building turned off its music and remained silent out of respect for the fallen president. The building represents the people who live inside of it and those people were American citizens who cared for the country they lived in. They showed their respect for the office of the President just like the rest of the country. And even though the people in El Building were from Puerto Rico, spoke Spanish, and struggled financially, that doesn't mean they didn't love their country.  

What does Junior see the word 'faggot' as?

In 2014, this young adult novel topped the list for the most banned and challenged books in the United States. Despite the book's reputation for offensive language, frank discussions of sexuality, and depictions of bullying, Alexie's use of language is practical rather than ornamental.

You asked about Junior's view of the word 'faggot.' This word comes up in the chapter detailing Junior's victorious play in the basketball game between the Wellpinit Redskins and the Reardan Indians. During this game, Junior is tasked with shadowing Rowdy, his basketball arch-enemy. When our young protagonist manages to side-step Rowdy's usual play every inch of the way, the gym breaks out into pandemonium.

Junior's initial three point score so intimidates and demoralizes the other team that the Reardan Indians are able to score a devastating victory. The Wellpinit Redskins fail to make the playoffs for the season, while the Reardan Indians qualify for the playoffs as state-reigning champions.

Junior apologizes for Reardan's victory in an email to Rowdy, but Rowdy laughs it off with some bravado. He tells Junior that his team will beat Junior's team next year, and when that happens, Junior will cry inconsolably. Although both Rowdy and Junior appear to trade 'homophobic insults,' Junior isn't too broken up about this state of affairs. Ironically, the friendly, verbal fire restores Junior's spirits: this exchange marks the first occasion Rowdy has actually communicated with Junior since he(Junior) left the reservation. If you recall, Junior's mother warned him that many Indians would not understand his decision to attend a school outside the reservation.

When Junior admitted his desire to transfer, Rowdy had become very angry. Reardan, after all, was the ultimate high school enemy. They won every baseball and basketball game they played against Wellpinit Junior High. If you recall, Rowdy uses the same homophobic insult to express his pain regarding his best friend's decision to leave. Even worse, he beats Junior up before they part ways.

So, what is different about this email exchange, where the same insults are being used? In this exchange, Rowdy is no longer angry. He doesn't resort to physical violence, and he doesn't condemn Junior for having been on the winning side of the basketball season.

The traded insults between Junior and Reardan represent a typically masculine exchange prevalent among high school boys. In their reluctance to appear effeminate, such an exchange may represent one of the only ways these young men can communicate forgiveness, affection, and trust. In times of great stress, the insults also express repressed pain and grief (as when Junior first informs Rowdy about his transfer to Reardan). It is this raw and unvarnished picture of adolescent camaraderie which makes a reading of Alexie's novel an emotional experience.

`5 + 2i` Write the trigonometric form of the number.

`5+2i`

Take note that the trigonometric form of a complex number z=x+yi is

`z=r(cos theta + isin theta)`

where 

`r=sqrt (x^2+y^2)`

and

`theta = tan^(-1) y/x`

Applying these formula,  the values of r and theta of `z=5+2i` are:

`r=sqrt(5^2+2^2)=sqrt(25+4)=sqrt29`

`theta = tan^(-1) 2/5 = 21.8^o`

Plugging them to the trigonometric form, it result to:

`z=sqrt29 (cos 21.8^o + isin21.8^o)`

Thus, the trigonometric form of  `5+2i`  is  `sqrt29(cos21.8^o + isin21.8^o)` .

How do the colonial subjects repay their masters in "The White Man's Burden?"

According to Rudyard Kipling in his pro-imperialism poem “The White Man’s Burden,” the colonial subjects of imperial powers repay their “masters” by hating and resenting them and by destroying all of the things the masters are trying to create. Some of this they do on purpose, but other things they do because they are ignorant.

The first place we see the imperial masters being repaid poorly is in Stanza 3. There, Kipling says that when the masters have just about accomplished their goals, they will

Watch sloth and heathen Folly

Bring all your hopes to nought.

 In other words, they are being repaid by having everything they work for get destroyed. The subjects are so lazy and foolish that they destroy the masters’ work.

The other place where we see the masters being poorly repaid is in the 5th Stanza. There, Kipling tells us that the subjects will hate their masters for trying to improve their lives and make them more civilized.  He says that the masters will get

The blame of those ye better,

The hate of those ye guard—

 The reason for this is that they are trying to improve their subjects.  The problem is that their subjects do not want to be improved and civilized.  Instead, they will complain, saying

Why brought he us from bondage,

Our loved Egyptian night?"

 In other words, the subjects like being ignorant and uncivilized and will hate and resent those who try to change them.

 In these ways, Kipling  is saying that the imperial masters will be repaid poorly by their colonial subjects.
