The Canterbury Tales were written entirely in D. Iambic pentameter. This means that it has 5 iambic feet per line. The rhyming scheme changes from situation to situation.
First of all, it implies that this is occurring in the future, but not extremely far like 10,000 years from now; it's a reasonable amount of time away. Second of all, because of the word "finally," we can infer that everyone in that society is equal and that the general consensus about the equality is good. Because the author uses the word "finally," it makes it seem like they've finally made it through a struggle to reach equality.
Answer: Background
We focused on human-animal interaction (HAI) as an important aspect of social functioning at the individual level, framing this emerging field from a public health perspective.
Methods
Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) 2012 HAI module, we describe the characteristics of pet ownership in a population of older adults, and examine the relation between pet ownership and multiple mental and physical health indicators such as health status, depression, and physical activity.
Results
Of the 1657 participants in our subsample, approximately half (51.5%) reported being pet owners; the majority owned dogs or cats, and most had only one pet. Pet ownership was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of ever having had depression, with pet owners being 1.89 times more likely to have experienced depression. However, pet ownership was not associated with having experienced depression within the last week.
Conclusions
The findings from this study could indicate a relationship between pet ownership and depression, but it is impossible to determine the directionality of that relationship. It is possible that owning a pet may put a person at an increased risk of developing depression, or individuals who are at risk, or who have already developed depression, may acquire a pet as a way of managing their depressive symptoms. The findings of this study provide an initial step in contributing to our understanding of the relationship between companion animals and the social, physical, and mental well-being of the HRS study population. Future research should include measures of HAI in longitudinal, population-based surveys
Explanation:
It ranges from finding deeper meaning to the characters and plot to understanding the themes.
