The sands o life refer to time

By
The sands o life refer to time. The speaker is saying he will still love his girl even after she is old and has lost her beauty.
This is a typical love poem in which the speaker talks about how much he loves his girl. Shes as perfect as a brand new rose. In fact, he compares her to red, red rose,/That’s newly sprung in June. Now, this is problematic because a rose does not keep its beauty forever. When a rose first blooms, it is perfect. It is a bounty of nature, like a beautiful woman in her prime. However, no one can stay this waynot the rose, and not the lady. Burns acknowledges that.
The sands of life, basically, are time. Like an hourglass, time will eat away at lifes perfection. Basically, the perfect beauty will become wrinkles and age. No girl can be young forever. Yet, the good news, at least, seems to be that he says he will continue to love her. He says he is aware that her beauty will fade. Time will take its toll on that beuty, but it will not take its toll on his love.
In a way, he is using her beauty to his advantage. He is saying to her that he knows she is beautiful, but she will not have it forever. Other guys might want her now for that, but he will love her forever even after she loses it, therefore she should choose him, because he wont care when she gets old and fat and has wrinkles.
The speaker, however, does not really have any substance. He is basically just after one thing. If she is nave enough to fall for this guy, she is going to get her heart broken. He is clearly a blowhard and a buffoon. But hey, maybe she goes in for that kind of thing.

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLIC

By
Assignment Overview The American Revolution and Independence As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors. Case Assignment Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence. In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking. The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern. Assignment Expectations Use concepts from the background
