The document discusses symbols and imagery in Canada and the importance of context. It provides details on how the beaver and maple leaf came to be symbols of Canada's history and culture. Symbols can represent things through association, resemblance or social convention. Imagery uses figurative language to represent ideas, objects or actions in the mind. Understanding context, both physical and textual, is crucial for determining the meaning of symbols, words and concepts. All languages rely on contextual differences and relationships between symbols to construct meaning.

This document discusses imagery and its use in literature. It defines imagery as the mental pictures or sensations that readers experience based on an author's use of descriptive words that appeal to the senses. There are five main types of imagery: visual (what is seen), auditory (what is heard), kinesthetic (what is felt), olfactory (what is smelled), and gustatory (what is tasted). Several examples are provided for each type. The document then analyzes a poem for the different types of imagery used, including visual, kinesthetic, and others. It encourages identifying imagery to better understand an author's intended meaning or message.LutherS 95 Theses Essay. Online assignment writing service.

This document discusses symbolism in literature and the use of symbols to represent meanings beyond the literal. It provides examples of common symbols like flags representing countries, and explains that symbols can be inherited over time or invented by writers. Symbols allow authors to suggest deeper meanings and layers of interpretation. While symbols may not have single fixed meanings, they can effectively convey emotions and ideas through the associations and meanings they develop.Entering College Essay.

The document summarizes the discovery of a new species, Alborum Plumae, found in Mount Kosciuszko National Park in Australia. Dr. Ella Beard discovered small feathered creatures perfectly camouflaged as snow lumps on tree branches. Early analysis finds they spend most of their time stationary to avoid detection, using their wings only for escaping predators. While sharing traits with birds like down insulation and wing-aided flight, further research is needed to determine their exact taxonomic classification.Michael Cirelli - Triglossia - MRA 2011

This document discusses symbolism in literature. It explains that symbols can represent ideas through objects, events, people or animals that take on meanings beyond their literal sense. Symbols can be inherited over time as their associations become widely understood, or they can be invented by writers to represent new concepts. Well-known symbols help authors convey complex layered meanings more effectively than simple statements. Different contexts and experiences can lead symbols to carry various interpretations.Global Warming And Greenhouse Gases Essay

The classical civilizations of Greece, Rome, Persia, India, and China each had unique cultural aspects while also sharing some similarities regarding religion. Greece valued education and the ideal human form, with polytheistic religion and developments in philosophy, science, and the arts. Rome derived much from Greece but also had superb engineering and infrastructure. Persia's main religion was Zoroastrianism. India emphasized spiritual and philosophical traditions like Hinduism and Buddhism. China was influenced by Confucianism and legalism with a centralized bureaucratic government.Folklore & Fairytales-2007

Primary Source Responses
When I assign you to read one or more primary sources, you will respond to it by answering these six questions
below. General instructions:
Answer each question separately. You should write at least one paragraph per question. If you have
more than one source to respond to, you must answer each source separately.
Put all answers in one file and upload it onto Blackboard. Files must be in a .doc or .docx format.
Please do not copy-paste the questions/suggested responses below into your assignments.
You may use information from the textbook or lecture to help build your analysis. No sources from
outside of the course may be used.
One of the key skills history students must learn is how to use primary sources. A primary source can be a
document, artwork, artifact, or oral-history interview, just so long as it tells us something about the past and is
as close as we can get to the past. Primary sources are those sources created by people who participated in an
event, witnessed it firsthand, or at least heard about it from a credible witness.
Historians ask all manner of questions about primary sources. Here I have tried to group such questions into six
larger categories, to suggest a means by which to approach an unfamiliar source.
Six (6) Types of Questions to ask of every primary source:
1.What sort of document is it? (For example: a letter, a speech, a newspaper article, etc.) Who is the author?
And who is the intended audience or reader? When and where was the document written? Sometimes the
author will tell you explicitly. In other cases, the historian may need to make educated guesses.
2. Summarize the passage in your own words. What is the style? What are the main points of the passage?
What keywords does the author use to convey his or her point of view? Is the language formal or informal?
Does s/he use reasoned arguments or metaphors/imagery? (This should be two paragraphs: one that
summarizes the passage and one that discusses the language of the text.)
3. Why was this document created/what purpose does this document serve? Consider why the author has
decided to create this document. What has motivated them to write this? Does this source represent a group
perspective or an individual perspective?
4. What is the historical context? History is premised, in part, on the notion that any document can tell us
something about the time and place in which it was produced, and, conversely, that time and place can help us
understand the document. What was going on when this document was created? Does the author represent a
particular perspective from this era? How might these circumstances help us understand this document? Refer
to your lecture notes and textbook for help on this one if needed. BE SPECIFIC!!!!
5. What is missing? What perspectives and information is not present in the source? How does this help us to
better understand the perspecti ...Veterans Day Essay

Culture refers to the shared attitudes, values, beliefs and practices of a social group. It has both overt/material aspects like language, food and dress, as well as covert/non-material aspects like concepts of time and communication styles. Many conflicts arise from a lack of understanding between cultures. Several examples are given of companies that failed to properly consider cultural differences when translating marketing campaigns between languages and regions, resulting in messages with unintended and sometimes humorous or offensive meanings.Communication chapter 1. - Progress Gold B ppt

The Great Gatsby: Historical ContextCraig Kielburger Secondary School
油
The document provides historical context about the 1920s time period known by nicknames like "The Roaring 20s" and "The Jazz Age". It suggests the period was defined by post-WWI euphoria, disregard for pre-war values, financial freedom, and a feeling that one could achieve the American Dream of success through hard work. However, it argues this optimism was founded on little that was real as society was becoming morally bankrupt with no solid values following the death and loss of the war. It then outlines a reading schedule to discuss F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby over five days.Essay Writing

Shakespeare's LanguageCraig Kielburger Secondary School
油
Shakespeare wrote in Early Modern English, not Old English, which has evolved significantly from his time. This makes his language sometimes difficult to understand for modern readers. Some differences include changed word order, omitted words, different grammatical structures, archaic words and meanings, and verb conjugations. However, Shakespeare also coined many words and phrases still in use today. Reading carefully and using context clues and glossaries can help readers understand the language.Day 1 Lectures

Webinar: LF Energy GEISA: Addressing edge interoperability at the meter
Webinar: LF Energy GEISA: Addressing edge interoperability at the meterDanBrown980551
油
This webinar will introduce the Grid Edge Security and Interoperability Alliance, or GEISA, an effort within LF Energy to address application interoperability at the very edge of the utility network: meters and other distribution automation devices. Over the last decade platform manufacturers have introduced the ability to run applications on electricity meters and other edge devices. Unfortunately, while many of these efforts have been built on Linux, they havent been interoperable. APIs and execution environment have varied from one manufacturer to the next making it impossible for utilities to obtain applications that they can run across a fleet of different devices. For utilities that want to minimize their supply chain risk by obtaining equipment from multiple suppliers, they are forced to run and maintain multiple separate management systems. Applications available for one device may need to be ported to run on another, or they may not be available at all.
GEISA addresses this by creating a vendor neutral specification for utility edge computing environments. This webinar will discuss why GEISA is important to utilities, the specific issues GEISA will solve and the new opportunities it creates for utilities, platform vendors, and application vendors.

Day 2 Lectures
- 1. Day 2 Lectures Symbols & Imagery, and Context
- 3. Symbols of Canada: Why?
- 4. The Beaver The beaver attained official status as an emblem of Canada when an "act to provide for the recognition of the beaver (castor canadensis) as a symbol of the sovereignty of Canada" received royal assent on March 24, 1975. After the early Europeans explorers had realized that Canada was not the spice-rich Orient, the main mercantile attraction was the beaver population numbering in the millions. In the late 1600s and early 1700s, the fashion of the day demanded fur hats, which needed beaver pelts. As these hats became more popular, the demand for the pelts grew. http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/o1_e.cfm
- 5. The Maple Leaf On February 15, 1965, the red maple leaf flag was inaugurated as the National Flag of Canada. Well before the coming of the first European settlers, Canada's aboriginal peoples had discovered the food properties of maple sap, which they gathered every spring. According to many historians, the maple leaf began to serve as a Canadian symbol as early as 1700. Maple sugar is a high calorie nutrient that ensured winter survival when food sources were scarce. http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/o3_e.cfm
- 6. Symbol Something that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention The Beaver & Maple Leaf are associative symbols they are associated with our countrys past.
- 7. Symbols of resemblance Look like the thing they represent:
- 8. Symbols of convention We agree, within a cultural context, on the arbitrary meaning of these symbols:
- 9. The importance of symbols! Consider this: our alphabet and numeric system is based upon symbols of convention
- 10. arbitrary agreement!?! All meaning that we derive from words or numbers starts of as arbitrary agreement about symbols!
- 11. Imagery The use of figurative language to represent objects, actions, or ideas which can lead to A mental making or re-creation of any sense-based physical experience
- 12. Context
- 13. What is this? What does it mean? X
- 14. What about now? W X Y Z + - X / X = Y + 5
- 15. Context Physical Context The circumstances in which an event occurs; the setting of an event. (eg: swearing randomly in school vs. swearing in school after breaking a leg)
- 16. Context Textual Context The part of a text that surrounds a particular word or passage, and determines its meaning. (eg: read past tense or imperative?)
- 17. Symbol, Imagery, & Context Jacques Derrida: All languages depend on context for meaning, and context depends on difference (of symbol, of time) All meaning of a symbol in a language is really deferred to other symbols (dictionary) We only know something if we can know what it is not (stop / go, happy / sad, etc.)
- 18. In conclusion Grazie mille pour avoir 爐爛爐 爐迦た爐爐 爐爐 爐爐鉦い 爐爐 爐 aqui mit dem heutigen Tag! Confused? Youre missing the cultural symbolic context for meaning!
