"The Chrysanthemums" is a story by John Steinbeck. In it, he tells the story of Elisa Allen, who loves to garden. In particular, she loves chrysanthemums.

Elisa is married but seems to be lonely and bored with her life. A stranger arrives (the "tinker") who is looking for work. Although she does not have any work for him to do, she does give him some of her beloved chrysanthemum shoots in a pot. The tinker says he has a customer who wants some.

Elisa gives the tinker a pot filled with shoots and tells the tinker how to care for them. The shoots are very fragile. As Elisa continues to talk to him, she begins to feel an attraction for him. The tinker talks a little about his life and how he travels from place to place. Elisa would like to live as he does, always on the move, but the tinker says it is not a life for women. She tries to explain how strong and capable she is, but he continues to maintain his lifestyle is not for a woman. Soon he leaves.

Elisa watches him drive away. As he goes, she whispers: "That's a bright direction, there's a glowing there." Literally, Elisa means the light glinting off the tinker's wagon. Her words mean more than that, however. The tinker represents freedom, a freedom that Elisa, a woman, can never enjoy. It is noteworthy this light is moving away from her. 

And so, Elisa's words indicate a desire for freedom and adventure, two things she will likely never have.

Answer: There are mainly two areas of similarities between the two depictions.

Explanation:

Lord Alfred Tennyson inspired the painting The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse with his poem about her legend in 1842. There are mainly two areas of similarities between the two depictions.

In the first place there is the physical description of The Lady of Shalot. Her clothes and demeanour are illustrated as if Tennyson were describing the painting.

He tells us about the white dress and the crown of peals she is wearing.

In the second place he captures the essence of the feelings conveyed by the painting as he tells us how distraught she feels:  

With a steady stony glance—

Like some bold seer in a trance,

Beholding all his own mischance,

Mute, with a glassy countenance—

What was the relationship between Doug Vakoch and Philip Lubin
fgiga [73]

Answer: The story is about the different ways scientists use maths. Vakoch said they don't need extra terrestrial to speak English or German so they need to look  into mathematics.

He said even in 1820, the astronomers used geometry. One scientist suggested in drawing triangles. Another suggested in making a circle and filling it with kerosene so when lit, it can be seen from space at night.

Then they used the binary system and some codes to send messages. Then they used pictures and started with simple counting.
