The Anglo-Saxon Sonnet: Rewriting a Shakespeare’s Sonnet “130” Through the Eyes of the Author of Beowulf My woman’s sight-seers shine like the sun; Her kiss-givers grant a great fiery glow; Her bone-house is a rare beast made to stun; The hairs on her head hang as soft as snow.

INTRODUCTION Chemical kinetics‚ which can also be explained as reaction kinetics‚ studies the rates of chemical processes and reactions. A lot of this has to do with the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs for instance the rate at which reactants and products appear and disappear. In this case chemical kinetics goes further in depth to understand what conditions affect the rate of a given reaction. This is important because it allows scientists to determine what type of reaction can occur

Sonnet 138 Analysis In “When my love swears that she is made of truth‚” William Shakespeare uses personification‚ pun‚ and tone to unmask the fear that the speaker feels towards his age. The author personifies the speaker’s mentality as a woman to identify his uneasiness towards old age. The speaker’s mentality is referred to as woman because women are always self conscious of their age: “And wherefore say not I that I am old?” (line 10). The speaker can’t admit that he is old. That is why his

Rates of reaction Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. The equation for this reaction is shown below. Method (1) A measuring cylinder was used to measure 50cm3 of 0.08M sodium thiosulphate solution into a test tube. A bung was placed in the test tube. (2) A pipette was used to measure 5cm3 of 1.0M hydrochloric acid and this was placed into a second
