Fate and free will is a crucial theme dealt by Christopher Marlowe, particularly in chapter five, where Faustus expresses these lines: Ah, there it stay’d. Why should’st thou not? Is not thy soul thine own?, In this chapter he decides willingly to sell his soul to Lucifer, but when he is willing to make the bargain, and he stabs his arm in an attempt to write the deed in blood, the blood congeals, so that it was impossible for Faustus to write his name, in other words he couldn’t sign the agreement with Lucifer. At that point of the story he wondered whether that was fate, if his own blood was protecting him, and saving him, preventing his soul to be sold to Lucifer. However, he finalized the pact with Lucifer and discovered on his arm the inscription “O, man fly”. That could be interpreted as a warning from God to Dr, Faustus to be free to live his fate instead of selling his soul to Lucifer. Thus, Fausto started wondering if he should repent and trust God. However, Fausto was lured by Lucifer and his evil angels; in spite of the fact of the different sign he saw that could have been a clear message to follow God , he willingly sold his soul to the devil.  

All things considered, Fausto could have follow his fate, be free, not signing the pact when his blood congealed. However, he felt free to decide which path to follow by signing it and selling his soul.  So, Marlowe is remarking that we all have a fate, but that fate does not condemn us, our own decision do, because we have free will to make our own decisions and make mistakes, even though if those mistakes are fatal.

Read the paragraph from "Sixteen" and answer the question.
Akimi4 [234]
The fundamental message of the story is that captivation doesn't generally break even with genuine romance. We would all be able to feel for the young lady in the story who is complimented by the young fellow's consideration. He is a quintessential tease; his initially signal is to enclose his arms warmly and defensively around her midriff when he inquires as to whether she minds him skating with her. He takes order of every circumstance, is firmly mindful to her, and converses with her in a private way. The young lady falls hard for him, yet this is just an amusement for somebody who is known as a 'top dog' in school and the 'best artist around the local area.' 
She is infatuated to the point that she trusts him when he says he will call. In any case, she is soon disillusioned and takes in reality that each young person in the long run gets: an ace tease regularly knows how to control the feelings of others further bolstering his good fortune, however it never prompts a promising relationship for the person who trusts. 
Concerning word decision, the creator cunningly utilizes some viable scholarly gadgets to depict the failure and torment of a youthful heart. No where is this more clear than in the last passage. 
Tonight is Tuesday. Tonight is Tuesday and my homework is done and I darned some stocking that truly didn't require it, and I worked a cross-word perplex and I tuned in to the radio and now I'm quite recently sitting. I'm quite recently sitting since I can't consider whatever else to do. 
The utilization of anaphora (as in the words "today around evening time" and 'I') and anadiplosis (as in the expression 'I'm recently sitting') features a great deal of reiteration on the young lady's part; her nervousness is horrendously clear. She is essentially recently captivating in monotonous, careless assignments to relax on the off chance that the young fellow calls. At last, she understands that 
For out of the blue, I know, I realize what the stars knew all the time - he will never, never call - never. 
The redundancy of "never" ( epimone) and "know" features the young lady's mental and enthusiastic anguish. Each "never" resembles a throbbing injury; the young fellow has let her down horrendously, and it harms.

How to solve 34×17 using an area model
Sonja [21]
The main idea behind area model is to crack multiplication of 2 larger numbers in sum of several easier to calculate multiplications of smaller numbers. Each multiplication of those smaller numbers is represented by part of the area in the picture.
So, we can write down number 34 as sum of 30 and 4 and number 17 as sum of 10 and 7.

Going further we can write down:
34*17=(30+4)*(10*7)=30*10+30*7+4*10+4*7=578
