Backbone Network: Connecting all of the LANs of an organization entails another type of network (BN). A properly designed backbone network provides a high-speed circuit that serves as the central conduit across which the LANs of an organization can communicate. They can also be used to connect LANs within a building, across a campus, and, increasingly, across much greater distances. A BN, as indicated by its name, is a network of its own. Besides connecting the various network segments, the backbone may have its own devices that can be accessed by other network segments…

In William Carlos Williams’ Willow Poem he vividly described the difference between the willow and other trees in the fall. The willow tree’s leaves lost color and grew paler instead of shifting into warmer, brighter hues like the other leaves that are “bitten by the sun” (line 4). While the other trees readily released their leaves, the willow’s leaves remained on the tree until they were freed by the beginning of winter. The willow seems strangely unaffected by the forces of nature, such as the sun, that caused the other trees to change at the onset of autumn. Williams’ colorful; use of imagery almost seemed to give the willow’s leaves a personality of their own. The lines “the leaves cling and grow paler, / swing and grow paler/ over the…

Chapter 2 of The New Jim Crow focuses on how the system of mass incarceration works.

Early on, she exposes myths, noting that the war is not "aimed at ridding the nation of drug 'kingpins' or big-time drug dealers," and the drug war is not "principally concerned with dangerous drugs" (60).…

The reason I chose this text is because I was bullied as a kid for being heavier. Bullying can include making fun of one’s looks, which still happens today with devastating results of suicide. This text reveals this experience through the use of the characters point of view. Her classmate told her she had a great big nose and fat legs to which she saw herself as ugly and to be “beautiful” she cut off both her nose and legs (Piercy…
