What is the major theme of The Chosen?

One of the central themes in this work, which arguably
contains many different themes, is that of the conflict between fathers and sons and the
necessary coming of age that both fathers and sons go through. This is explored most
clearly through the conflict between Danny and his father, Reb Saunders. Reb Saunders is
clear that Danny must follow in his footsteps and become a religious leader of the
Hasidic Jews. The extent of his fanatacism is actually quite frightening, and the way
that Danny is pressurised by his father to follow in his role can be viewed as being
quite disturbing. However, by the end of the book, Danny has had to make a break to
establish his own identity, and part of that break involves abandoning the outward
trappings of his father's faith whilst remaining inwardly a Jew. His decision to go and
follow his secular career is one that represents his own coming of age, but also Reb
Saunders has to experience a similar coming of age as he has to recognise that he is not
able to control his son's life decisions and he has to let him go to live his own life.
Note how Reb Saunders makes this realisation at the end of the
book:

"Today
is the--the Festival of Freedom." There was a soft hint of bitterness in his voice.
"Today my Daniel is free... I must go... I am very tired... I must lie
down."

At great personal cost
to himself, Reb Saunders recognises that he must free his son to embrace and shape his
own destiny rather than choose that destiny for his son. This novel thus displays the
importance of the coming of age of both father and son, as both realise that the son
must be free to make his own decisions in life.

What is the EPA?

I believe you are asking about the Environmental
Protection Agency, which is a government agency whose mission is to protect health and
the environment.

Its actual mission
reads:

The
mission of EPA is to protect human health and to safeguard the natural environment --
air, water and land -- upon which life
depends.

The EPA is important
especially with the disgraceful actions that many organizations have taken to ruin the
environment, an example being the recent petroleum spill on the
Gulf.

What are the themes in The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum, and how would you explain them?

One of the major themes in Boll's The Lost
Honour of Katharina Blum is the power of the media to shape "fact" and
"objectivity."  The novel is narrated from the perspective of a reporter and supposedly
all the "facts" of the case regarding the murder of Totges are revealed.  However, as
the novel progresses, it becomes clear that the "facts" are still being presented in a
subjective manner as to paint a particular picture of Blum and her intentions.  Sex and
violence quickly overshadow the case and tarnish any reputation that Blum had prior to
the murder investigation.  Boll's novel is a reminder to us that the public image of a
person is greatly controlled by the power of the media and that "objectivity" is really
not possible.

How does Estella feel about her visiting London in Chapter 33 of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens?Mrs. Havisham sent Estella to London because...

Estella's visit to London marks one of the first instances
in which readers see Estella's resentment toward Miss Havisham.  Though Estella is
relatively friendly to Pip, she continues to caution him against loving her.  We
understand, based on Estella's words, the extent to which she has been affected by Miss
Havisham's upbringing.  In fact, Estella refers to Miss Havisham as an "impostor of a
woman"  who is responsible for Estella's lack of ability to feel for others.  When Pip
remarks that Miss Havisham might miss Estella while she is in London, Estella replies
"with a sigh, as if she were tired" (286).  This suggests that Estella is beginning to
realize the error in Miss Havisham's ways, though Estella knows that as a result of her
upbringing, she is missing the capacity to love that others feel. The fact that Miss
Havisham has sent her to London to live with "a lady of some station" is just another
one of Miss Havisham's attempts to make Estella desirable to men in order to break their
hearts. 

how to solve x(x-x) = (x+x) (x-x) please answer me immediatly because i'm tired from thinking.. Solve it and i'm going to be thankfullif x power...

We have to solve  x(x-x) = (x+x)
(x-x)

First, if you see the terms on the left, you have
x*(x-x) . Now (x-x) =0 , and anything multiplied by zero is
zero.

Also, on the right side you have (x+x)*(x-x). Again
(x-x) =0, which makes (x+x)*(x-x) equal to zero.

It is not
possible for you to cancel terms that equal 0 on both the sides and try to equate the
terms that are left.

That is, you cannot divide both sides
of the equation x(x-x) = (x+x) (x-x) by (x-x) to get x= (x+x) as the division involves
dividing 0 by 0 which is not
defined.

Remember that 0/0 is not equal to 1
but it is not defined and hence the operation cannot be
performed.

Act 4 - pg.120 Proctor: I want my life. (till) pg.121 Danforth: I say, will you confess yourself, Goody Nurse?Briefly explain the events taking...

Yup, this is, indeed, a spiritual crisis for John
Proctor.  He is not guilty of the crimes of which he's accused, but he does feel as if
he's a guilty sinner for other things.  To that extent, because he's already a sinner in
the eyes of God and man, Proctor is at first willing to sign his name to a
lie.

Once Danforth starts pressing him to give up the names
of others--whom Proctor certainly knows to be innocent--and is going to place his signed
confession on the church door, Proctor realizes he's losing more than his
already-condemned soul.  He's losing his good name.  Once he understands he can once
again stand tall by denouncing his confession, he has in essence confessed and found
some sense of forgiveness and peace with God. 

These
Puritans were all about public confessions and punishments, while Proctor's wrestling of
the soul was internal--and not at all what Danforth was concerned about
here. 

Explain how you as a reader responded to the monster based upon his acts of kindness and his acts of cruelty. Be specific.Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

In Shelley's Frankenstein, two
central issues are nature vs. nurture and the irresponsibility of science.  The reader
is, most likely, supposed to understand that Victor's lack of nurturing and his
practicing irresponsible science, lead to the monster's committing of atrocities.  And
the atrocities come back on Victor, of course; they affect him directly--they ruin his
life.  This emphasizes the atrocities and shows the direct result of Victor's
behaviors. 

A reader's reaction should somewhat follow
these lines of thought.  One cannot help feeling sympathy for the monster's situation,
but at the same time being horrified by his actions.  That's part of the point of the
novel.

Your personal reaction is, however, subjective.  I
cannot write about your personal reaction.  You might, for instance, feel strongly about
the monster's desire to learn, and your reaction reflects that.  On the other hand, you
might have a brother the same age as the boy the monster kills, and react strongly to
that.  Maybe you're a mystery buff, and you really like the unravelling of evidence
against the monster concerning the boy's death, and that's what interests you.  Or maybe
you don't like the somewhat sappy, idealistic portrayal of Victor's perfect marriage,
and you secretly think the wife gets what she deserves--after all, it is just
fiction. 

In other words, your reaction is what it is, and
no one can really describe that but you.
