Essay Question: Discuss the ways in which symbols and figurative language (imagery) are used to develop themes in at least two poems you have studied. *No Ordinary Sun & Rain‚ by Hone Tuwhare* Hone Tuwhare uses symbols and figurative language to develop themes in his poetry. Tuwhare’s strength is his ability to use effective imagery and symbols to develop persistent ideas that‚ in the poetry I studied this year‚ relate to the purity and beauty of natural things. Rain‚ an apostrophe to a "rain

various reactors serviced different companies and suppliers including General Electric‚ Toshiba‚ and Hitachi. On March 11th‚ 2011‚ an earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused a series of equipment failures‚ nuclear meltdowns and releases of radioactive materials. According to the International Business Times (Australia) "Fukushima is not the worst nuclear accident ever but it is the most complicated and the most dramatic disaster.” (IBT‚ 01) On April 2011 The Nuclear Institute rated the disaster

Nuclear waste is dangerous just about anyone knows that. But is it really that dangerous or is it simply overstated? The answer to this question is a heated debate that involves everybody from politicians pushing for policy they don’t really understand to scientists who are trying to understand it to the public who take everything they hear as the truth. Honestly‚ I don’t even know if I can iron out the edges of this frenzied debate. Everyone‚ and that includes me‚ has their own perspective of the

I would favor that chemistry and the atomic theory have been more beneficial to to the human race than not. It is in the favor of the world that the process of chemistry was developed by humans so that they can work towards a more enlightened future. The background of the atomic was that there were references to it back in the ancient world in such of Greece and India. These were more likely to be philosophical than that of the actual experimental‚ and it wasn’t until the late 19th century to the

The issue of using nuclear power to produce electricity involves the cost‚ its radioactive waste‚ and the public ’s concern about its safe usage. Atomic energy is the energy stored within the nucleus of an atom. Stable atoms do not release this energy. Radioactive atoms‚ however‚ are very unstable and release large quantities of energy. This atomic energy is utilized within a nuclear reactor. Uranium‚ a radioactive element‚ is the fuel of most nuclear reactors. Uranium rods are allowed to interact

reaction can generate radioactive waste. These wastes are very dangerous‚ and have very high radiation. Moreover‚ radioactive waste is hard to recycle and store. Radioactive waste are usually buried in the deep ground or seabed. Not only such‚ these wastes are hard to degrade. For example‚ uranium-235 needs 7 hundred million years to degrade. Last but not the least; nuclear power is hard to control when the accident happen. On the one hand‚ nuclear leakage‚ the highly radioactive material leaked. The

Nuclear energy powers twenty percent of world energy needs‚ but is it really worth it? Is the energy worth it for disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima? I believe that it’s not. Nuclear energy should not be utilized due to issues like radioactive water and radioactive waste. Nuclear power plants operate with highly pressurized‚ heated water‚ so what happens to this water once it’s spent? Contaminated water can be released back to the environment through regulated and supervised channels that ensure

things that produce energy like coal‚ wind‚ or other natural resources. The use of nuclear energy in the world has had a huge impact on the economic qualities of countries. When countries use nuclear energy they are putting the people in risk of radioactive poison and cancer. Some people argue that nuclear energy is worth the risk if it saves money‚ but nuclear is too risky because of past accidents‚ radioactivity‚ and clean- up costs.

SECTION 1 The Three Mile Island Nuclear Meltdown and the Possible Health Effects of its Children Problem From the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl in April of 1986‚ the medical world has learned much about the possible effects of radioactive materials being exposed to humans‚ specifically the pediatric population. Through this disaster‚ we learned that children and fetuses exposed to radio-nucleotides were susceptible to central nervous system dysfunction leading to microcephaly and retardation‚ congenital

being expensive‚ nuclear materials are not safe. When uranium is taken out of the ground‚ radioactive gas is released the air . This is not safe for the workers. Uranium itself is not safe either because of its high radioactivity. Because of this‚ people who work with nuclear fuels are at risk of cancer. As nuclear power stations run‚ they create nuclear waste‚ which also is dangerous. It is very radioactive‚ and it is very very difficult to dispose of or even to store safely. No town wants nuclear
