It is a man’s own mind‚ not his enemy or foe‚ that lures him to evil ways." (Buddha) The word ’man’ in this quote indicates a grown up‚ an adult‚ someone above the age of majority. However‚ in "I’m The King Of The Castle"‚ this is not the case. After reading the novel‚ we are shocked. Our preconceptions about childhood innocence are shattered. Hill deliberately shocks us in a traditionally gothic style‚ by transgressing what we consider to be the accepted boundaries of behaviour. "I’m The King of

repolarisation‚ whereby there is a large increase in the membranes permeability to potassium ions‚ hence the membrane returns to Ek. Explanation of the (ionic) mechanisms underlying generation of the action potential leads directly to understanding impulse propagation. The main feature underlying the ion currents associated with the action potential is that both the sodium and potassium conductances are voltage dependent. Depolarisation increases the membrane’s conductance to sodium ions and‚ after

sprout from the cell and the axon is one long extension of the cell. The dendrites receive signals from other neurons‚ while the axon sends impulses to other neurons. Axons can extend to more than a meter long. Average sized neurons have hundreds of dendrites; therefore it can receive thousands of signals simultaneously from other neurons. The neuron sends impulses by connection the axon to the dendrites of another nerve cell. The synapse is a gap between the axon and the adjacent neuron‚ which is where

Dulce Et Decorum Est was written by Wilfred Owen during World War I and is a war poem focusing on the horrors of war; the conditions of the soldiers‚ the wars impact on those whom remain alive and war not being glorious. Owen‚ a soldier of WWI and who had experienced the pain‚ loss of lives‚ and extreme conditions of war‚ lives to recount this poem to a wide range of audience in the format of a rhyme scheme abab‚ cdcd‚ efef‚ ghgh and so on. Owen’s use of modern diction and anti-war belief suggests

Explain what is meant by the term ‘Aggregate Demand’? (6) The term ‘Aggregate Demand’ (AD) means the total amount of planned spending on goods and services at any price level in an economy. AD is made up of the following components: - C + I + G + (X - M) Therefore‚ it is the total of Consumption (C)‚ Investment (I)‚ Government spending (G) and the difference between Exports (E) and Imports (M). Consumption is spending by households on goods and services and it is the main component of

the entire axon due to breaks in the wrapping. These breaks are called nodes. The distance between these nodes is between 0.2 and 2 mm. Action potentials traveling down the axon "jump" from node to node. This is called saltatory conduction‚ which means‚ "to jump”. Saltatory conduction is a faster way to travel down an axon than traveling in an axon without myelin. In other words the main role of the myelin sheath is to speed up nerve cell communications from the brain and spinal cord or to other parts

The Moonstone is structured in a multi-narrative style and Wilkie Collins did this to present the characters and events from different perspectives and also create a sense of suspense. This is because the reader will have many different opinions on events from the different characters so there is not a definitive answer to what was said or what happened. How Collins portrays Victorian attitudes will also be examined in this essay. Not much is revealed about Miss. Clack in any of the narratives
