According to the narrator, it is possible to tell a cataleptic is still alive because a heartbeat is perceptible, the body is still warm, some color remains in the cheek, and breathing can be detected by putting a mirror to the lips.

Specifically, Poe writes the cataleptic "is senseless and externally motionless; but the pulsation of the heart is still faintly perceptible; some traces of warmth remain; a slight color lingers within the centre of the cheek; and, upon application of a mirror to the lips we can detect a torpid, unequal, and vacillating action of the lungs."

The teacher in my class said, "do you guys feel like we achieved full equality with regards of race?
damaskus [11]
The answer is very simple: no. No, we have not achieved full equality with regards of race. No, we should not feel like we have achieved such a thing. But, everyone’s answers will vary. Some might think that we have, some might think that we haven’t (which is the most intelligent answer, it shows that some people aren’t naive and/ or living in their own little world,) and some might not even care. Many forms of discrimination still exist in the world we live in today. Why would anybody “feel” as if we’ve already achieved any sort of equality when people (not all) are still going after others for something as simple and the color of their skin? Their culture? The country they’re from? The real question is; will we ever TRULY achieve equality?
