I have a quiz tomorrow on the 1991 AP Lit Open Write Prompt, which is as follows:

Many plays and novels use contrasting places (for example, two countries, two cities or towns, two houses, or the land and the sea) to represent opposed forces or ideas that are central to the meaning of the work. Choose a novel or play that contrasts two such places. Write an essay explaining how the places differ, what each place represents, and how their contrast contributes to the meaning of the work.

I have to write about "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut. Right now I'm thinking I just need to contrast Tralfamadore and Dresden but is there a better way to answer the prompt/organize the essay? 10 pts best answer if you can help!!! Thanks

I have a newer mac that can handle any program out there...so that's not an issue. I have turntables, the soundcard, mixer, the works. I've been looking at Traktor Scratch Duo....are there any other viable alternatives that would suit basic beat matching with a few effects? Auto beatgridding is a must.

I'm acquiring a 12", 100 watt powered sub, and have some bookshelf speakers from an old speaker system i was going to try to hook up. Will this be enough to keep up with such an overpowering sub? I'm on a limited budget, so are there and connectable powered tweeters you could reccomend? Could I pick up some large floor standing ones from goodwill? How do I hook them all up? Do I need an Amp? I'm very new at this lol, these are all for a music room downstairs, and I play alot of heavy bass music, dubstep, rap, some bassy rock.

We are to "prepare an analysis of a poems meaning, style, metrics, rhyme, and tone." My poem is Emily Dickinson's "We like March, his shoes are purple" Johnson's number system #111. I can't find any help online at all using google...can somebody direct me to a website or help me out themselves? The assignment says to use outside resources, but I can't find any!! Please help. The full poem:

"We like March, his shoes are purple,

He is new and high;

Makes he mud for dog and peddler,

Makes he forest dry;

Knows the adder's tongue his coming,

And begets her spot.

Stands the sun so close and mighty

That our minds are hot.

News is he of all the others;

Bold it were to die

With the blue-birds buccaneering

On his British sky.

It's like a little black box you hold over the string and it makes a constant synth like tone. It appears to have a blue light coming out of it, seems to be like a replacement for a pick that makes the string resonate. What's it called?!

I'm thinking about naming my production company "Red Light Productions." I meant it to mean the little red light on the camera, but my friend insists the only thing people will think is that we're a pornography company because of the term, "Red Light District." What do you think?

In Chem we turned pennies into "silver" and then into "gold", and now we have to prove that they're not actually silver and gold. What are some good, high school chem lab safe, chemical and physical tests that'll prove that they can't be gold and silver?
