While hiking in the mountains, Ms. Karen Moore heard crying sounds coming from the woods. She followed the sounds to a tree hollow where she found a small, furry creature with blue eyes. She realized it was too small to be a human baby. Though it hissed and swatted at first, it soon calmed down and snuggled in her arms. She noticed it had gray-brown fur with a white stripe and black rings on its tail. Unsure if it was a skunk or raccoon, she decided it was a cross between the two, which she called a "skunkoon." Knowing she couldn't keep it, she reluctantly returned it to the tree hollow so its natural parents could find it.

Wolf Forest and Basket Forest, Robber Forest (1924) by Ken.docx
Wolf Forest and Basket Forest, Robber Forest (1924)
by Kenji Miyazawa, translated from Japanese by Wikisource
North of the Koiwai Farms, there are four forests of black pine trees. The southernmost is Wolf
Forest. Next is Basket Forest and then Black Hill Forest. The furthest north is Robber Forest.
When and how were these forests made? How did they get such strange names? I can tell you
because I was told by the one person who knows all about it, a big boulder in the very middle of
Black Hill Forest.
A long time ago, Mt. Iwate erupted over and over again. Everything around the mountain was buried
in ash. The pitch-black boulder who told me the story was sent flying from the mountain and landed
exactly where it is today.
After the eruptions finally stopped, grasses and grains started to grow towards the south and soon
sprouted all around the mountain. Then oak trees and pine trees started to grow, and eventually the
four forests came to be. However, they didn’t have names yet. They all simply thought, “I’m me.”
Then, one fall day, like water the cold, invisible wind flowed through the valley, rustling the fallen oak
leaves, and the clouds left a dark shadow on Mt. Iwate’s silver crown.
Four farmers, wearing jackets made of straw and carrying axes, rakes, and hoes -- weapons of the
mountains and plains -- tied tight across their backs, climbed over the flint mountains to the east and
lumbered into the little plain surrounded by forests. If you looked closely, you could see that they
were all carrying big swords as well.
The head farmer, looking over this picturesque landscape, asked the others while pointing at
different things in the plain, “What do you think? Doesn’t this place look great? We’ll be able to plant
our fields right away, we’re right by the forest, and there’s clean water. It looks like we’ll get plenty of
sunlight, too. How about it? I, for one, decided on it as soon as I saw it.”
One of the other farmers asked, “but how’s the soil?”
The questioner then bent over, pulled out a blade of grass, and knocked the dirt from the roots into
his hand. He ran his fingers through it, tasted it a little, and declared, “Yep, the soils not great, but it’s
not terrible either.”
“Alright, should we make this the place then,” said another one of the farmers, looking across the
field fondly.
“I agree, let’s live here,” said the fourth farmer, who had been standing in silence.
The four farmer smiled, dropped the bags and tools from off their backs, and called back the way
they came,”hey, hey, this is it. Come quickly.”
Then, from out of the tall grass behind the farmers, came three of their wives, laden with bags and
their faces bright red. After them 9 children, all about 5 or 6 years old, came running and cheering
out of the grass.
The four men then looked in different directions and called out together, “may we plant our fields
here?”
“Go ahead,” the forests called b.

Comic Scenes of Dr. Faustus (Scene: VI & VII)
Tragedy generally emphasizes human suffering but ends with rigid finality. It also criticizes hubris, self-delusion, and complacency. However, sometimes comic scenes must be included in a tragedy with a dramatic purpose. Dr. Faustus is a tragic play with the mood of dark and serious play, but there were also comic scenes. It is very difficult to hold an audience's attention with hours of serious, deep and emotional content without also having something to lighten the mood. That’s why Marlowe added comic scenes in it. Still, many critics say that Christopher Marlowe did not even write these scenes but instead say that they were written later by other playwrights. Many critics are of the opinion that the comic elements in these scenes are low and vulgar.
The literary term for such comic interludes is known as comic relief. A tragedy is bound to create tension in the mind of the audience and if this tension is not relaxed from time to time, it creates some sort of emotional weakness in the mind of the audience. Hence, comic scenes are a necessity to ease the tension and refresh the mind. There was a pressing demand from the side of Elizabethan audience for such interludes. Hence, playwrights had to introduce such comic scenes as the producers also demanded them for a successful run of the play.
In scene VI and VII, we find only three comic scenes. Science, the beginning of Scene VI, Faustus is alone in his study. Then, Mephistophilis appears and a bond is signed with the blood of Faustus. Mephistophilis gives Faustus a book of magic which contains all the knowledge that Faustus. After that Lucifer orders seven deadly sins (pride, covetousness, wrath, envy, gluttony, sloth and Lechery) to entertain Faustus. Faustus questions each of the seven sins who describe themselves. This situation provides comic relief to the audiences. This scene all along is in a serious tone. But Marlowe is converted the serious scene to comic scene.
At the end of scene VI, Dick and Robin once again provide comic relief. Robin has stolen one of Faustus’ conjuring books and wants to make all the girls in the village dance for him. He also wants to use the book to get drunk. Dick and Robin have no connection with the main theme of the play. But they have importance in this play.
Scene VI, prepares us for Faustus' entry into the comic world by telling us to observe him and Mephistophilis as they stand invisible in the court of the Pope. The Pope is mocked and struck on the head, food is snatched from his hands, eating utensils and serving vessels are dashed to the floor. Bewildered and desperately using his occult powers to save himself from the demon in his presence, the Pope stands duped, busily making the sign of the cross, lacking even the wit of Robin. This scene culminates in the mock incantation of the Friars as they; attempt to appease the ghost "crept out of Purgatory."
Doctor Faustus is not comical and poorly

Henry viii – James i
Henry VIII ruled England from 1509 to 1547. He had six wives and broke with the Catholic Church in 1534 over his divorce from Catherine of Aragon. His son, Edward VI, became King at age 9 upon Henry's death in 1547. Edward's reign was marked by Protestant reforms but much of his rule was conducted through regents due to his young age. He attempted to exclude his Catholic half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth from the succession, instead naming Lady Jane Grey as his heir, but Mary assumed the throne after his death at age 15 in 1553.
Religious settlement of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I
The religious settlements of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were major parts of the English Reformation that established the Church of England's independence from the Catholic Church. Henry VIII passed acts like the Act of Supremacy that made himself the head of the English church and destroyed the Pope's power in England. Elizabeth I's settlement through acts like the Act of Uniformity and Thirty-Nine Articles established Protestantism as the official faith but in a moderate form to appease both Catholics and Protestants. Both settlements increased royal power over the church and helped establish England's national identity separate from Rome.

The bad impact of techonology
Technology provides many benefits but also poses risks if not used properly. It can negatively impact health by straining eyes and causing issues like heart disease and obesity. Excessive technology use reduces interaction within families and between students and teachers. It can also hurt social skills, environment, and waste time and money if not managed well. To address these downsides, we must increase knowledge, teach wise usage of technology, and work together to prepare children for responsible technology use.

The place of articularors
This document discusses places of articulation for speech sounds. It explains that a sound's place is named using the Latin adjective for the active articulator followed by the passive articulator. The main places of articulation described are bilabial, labiodental, interdental, alveolar, palatal, velar, and glottal. Bilabial sounds are made with both lips, labiodental with the lower lip and upper teeth, interdental with the tongue tip between the teeth, alveolar with the tongue on the alveolar ridge, palatal with the tongue on the hard palate, velar with the tongue on the soft palate, and glottal involving the glott
Phonetics features of plosive
Plosives are consonant sounds produced by stopping airflow in the vocal tract. The basic English plosives are voiceless t, k, p and voiced d, g, b. Plosives are articulated by closing the lips, alveolar ridge, or velar region. Plosives go through three stages - closing, compression with built up air pressure, and abrupt release. English plosives are distinguished by place of articulation (bilabial, lingua-alveolar, lingua-velar), voicing (voiced or voiceless), aspiration of initial sounds, and degree of muscular force in production.
106 the organ of speech
The three principal articulators that move to produce speech sounds are the tongue, lips, and lower jaw. The larynx holds the vocal cords and is responsible for voice and breathing. The tongue is the most flexible articulator and can touch different areas of the mouth. Passive articulators like the hard palate and alveolar ridge provide places of contact for articulators and help shape speech sounds.
