"Futility" Notes
The poem summarizes the speaker's growing despair and frustration at not being able to revive a soldier who died from exposure to the cold during World War I. The speaker questions the purpose of life and creation itself if a young soldier's life can be cut short so easily in war.

Futility by Wilfred Owen
Wilfred Owen's poem "Futility" reflects on the death of a soldier, either killed or gravely injured, during World War I. The speaker addresses the lifeless soldier directly, wondering if moving him into the sunlight might revive him, as nature once awakened seeds and stars. However, the snow suggests all hope is lost. The poem questions whether creating life has purpose if it can be destroyed so easily in war, implying the soldier's death was futile and the suffering of soldiers pointless.
Futility
Wilfred Owen's poem "Futility" questions the point of God creating life and the world if human beings will only destroy it through war. The poem describes a dead soldier who was once awakened by the sun's warmth but now lies cold in the snow, killed in the pointless war. Through allusions to nature and biblical references, Owen suggests that war goes against God's creation and that human life achieved through the "clay" of our bodies is wasted in such conflicts. The poem promotes appreciating life rather than destroying it through fighting each other in war.

Humor history
The document provides a historical overview of humor from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses examples of humor found in ancient Greek and Roman literature as well as medieval cathedrals. During the Renaissance, humor flourished in the works of writers like Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Cervantes.

Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England in 1564 and wrote Romeo and Juliet between 1591-1595. The play is about the star-crossed lovers Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, whose families are feuding in Verona, Italy. Despite being from enemy families, Romeo and Juliet fall in love at a party. After they marry secretly, a series of misunderstandings lead to both of their deaths and end the long-standing family feud. Shakespeare's plays and words have had an immense influence on literature, theater, language, and Western philosophy. His works are still relevant today for their relatable characters and themes.

Set in Verona, Italy, the play tells of the forbidden love between Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, whose families have been feuding for years. Their secret marriage is tragically disrupted when Romeo is banished after killing Juliet's cousin Tybalt, and a series of misunderstandings ultimately lead to the lovers' deaths.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
