1. What characteristic do Mathiasen and Daugherty (2008) use to distinguish between red fir and noble fir‚ and how do they justify using this characteristic? Mathiasen and Daugherty initially classified noble and red fir through attributes such as the needles‚ bracts‚ bark‚ and age of the female cones. Nevertheless‚ categorization of the morphological affiliations of red fir‚ noble fir‚ and Shasta red fir are challenging because of their variations. Due to that reason‚ they analyzed different degrees

Shakespeare Coriolanus Journal 1 "I sin in envying his nobility;And were I any thing but what I am‚I would wish me only he. AufidisAct 1 sc. 1 page 230 I think this quote describes the love of Coriolanus. Coriolanus longs to encounter Aufidius man-to-man. Aufidius‚ on his end‚ welcomes Coriolanus to his side He goes so far as to say that his passion for Coriolanus is as great as his love for the "maid I married". Whether Aufidius loves Coriolanus in this passionate sense is problematical

The voice was coming closer‚ yet I could not see where it was coming from. I looked to my surroundings. The round walls were oak brown‚ and the floor was spongy‚ like lush grass. I looked to the ceiling‚ it was a forest green. The voice was now close enough for me to hear. “Brave Cycad. You have slept for a long time. Wake.” It called
