1) “The Cremation of Sam McGee” was a poem published in 1907 by Robert W.Service. It has a written and a few audio versions that are quite popular.  For this activity, I personally chose to listen to Johnny Cash’s audio version of the poem made in 2006. The main difference between reading and listening to this poem is that when we listen to it all the important parts of the poem are stressed by the narrator, giving us a clear idea of what really matters in that story and what doesn’t. The audio narrator also leads us right to the feelings that were expected from each moment of the poem: suspense, doubt, sadness, fear... Besides, some words that we might not understand very well when we first read the poem (such as “o’erheard”, for instance) are spoken in a clear way at the audio version, which makes understanding the poem more easy and possible for everyone.

2) The text “Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity” basically tells us who Marie Curie was, where she came from, how her private life was like (childhood, marriage, death) as well as her professional life (education, main work research and discoveries) and her greatest achievements (prizes, recognition and her contribution to science). In order to describe what she has done as a scientist, it was necessary to first inform the reader about who she was as a person. That’s why the text tells the reader about Mrs.Curie’s childhood, her favourite subjects at school and her graduation from Sorbonne University in Paris. Those details made the reader familiar and engaged with the entire story and with Marie Curie herself. Also, all the pieces of information given were used in order to “prepare” the reader for the next part of the text, when Mrs.Curie’s achievements were highlighted. For instance, the reader already knows that her life was never easy and that she had many obstacles to overcome:  <em>“In 1891, being only 24 years of age, Marie move to Paris (France) to study physics, chemistry and mathematics. Life was tough as she studied during the day and in the evenings she tutored to earn some money.”</em> But her struggle and efforts were compensated as the text indicates: <em>“Marie Curie won the nobel prize 2 times. The first time she was awarded the nobel prize for physics together with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel in December 1903. They earned the reward for their research on the radiation phenomena.The second time she won a nobel prize was in 1911. This time she won the prize in the category chemistry because she had been able to isolate the chemical element radium and study it in depth. This made Marie the first person to win 2 nobel prizes.”</em>

What does ’Caesar introduced new loss’ mean
Brut [27]

Answer:

The first conspirator greeted Caesar, then plunged a knife into his neck. Other stabbers followed suit. One by one, several members of the Senate took turns stabbing Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.E.), the dictator of the entire Roman Empire.

Stunned that even his good friend Brutus was in on the plot, Caesar choked out his final words: "'kai su, teknon?" ("You too, my child?").

On the steps of the Senate, the most powerful man in the ancient world died in a pool of his own blood.

Explanation:

Julius Caesar

In William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, the title character manages to utter "Et tu, Brute?" ("and you, Brutus?") as he is slain. This is not historically accurate.

According to the 1st century C.E. Roman historian Suetonius, Julius Caesar spoke mainly Greek and not Latin, as was the case with most patricians at the time. In his history about the life of Julius Caesar, Suetonius writes that as the assassins plunged their daggers into the dictator, Caesar saw Brutus and spoke the Greek phrase kai su, teknon, meaning "you too, my child."

There is still debate whether or not it was shouted in shock or said as a warning. On one hand, Caesar may have been amazed to find a close friend like Brutus trying to kill him; on the other hand, he may have meant that Brutus would pay for his crime in the future for this treachery. Either way, the words were Greek, so leave "Et tu, Brute" for Shakespeare.

contrast the culture of two different cities New York and Buenos Aires. What makes these cities stand apart from each other cult
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Both New York and Buenos Aires are huge, cosmopolitan cities which are great business and art centers. First, the main difference about them and what makes each of them unique has to do with the fact that Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina, while New York is not a capital city.

Secondly, while Porteños (Buenos Aires citizens) speak Spanish, New Yorkers speak English. However, both cities are full of tourists from all over the world so all languages can be heard walking down their streets.

Third, most of the population in both cities work in big companies and commute regularly, so after-office parties can be seen in the Manhattan as well in Puerto Madero, which is a lovely walk by the docks near Rio de la Plata.

Fourth, citizens usually spend their free time and weekends in the park, such as Central Park in New York and smaller parks in Buenos Aires, like the Japanese Garden and Palermo Forest. Thus, the places are often crowded with joggers, young people and families.

Fifth, as regards food, New Yorkers enjoy hamburguers, hot dogs and Chinese food. Porteños, on the other hand, are fond of barbecue, pizza and empanadas.

Finally, New York is a larger city full of impressive, modern buildings and skyscrapers, while Buenos Aires has a more European appearance. In fact, even though it also has magnificent modern constructions, it is often called the Paris of South America due to its mixture of French and English architecture.
