Random Analogies

What: "A Fourier transform is a way of describing a complicated wave by using a bunch of simple waves. It like making a salad. Some are complicated, some are simple, and you can make a new salad by mixing two other salads together." Broadly speaking a Fourier analysis break a whole down into parts in a particular way.

What: "The activation energy is like a fence to climb over before you can ski down a hill. Often times, the reactions don't happen in our lives, because we do not climb over the fence, we do not reach the activation energy."

What: "Macrophages are like the eager-to-please younger siblings of other cells in the immune system. They float around the body collecting up all sorts of stuff then coming to lymph nodes to say "Look at me!!!! Look at what I found!!!!". Lymph nodes are kind of like the common room for the older siblings. All the macrophages run around showing off what they found, while other cells like T- and B- cells hang out smoking and listening to The Cure. Macrophages not only want to show off what they find but they are normally able to break up what they find into lots of smaller pieces, that way there is more to show off. When something doesn't look 'right' (i.e. not from the body) the T- and B- cells respond. "

"With Doran's, Olivier's, Zeffirelli's, and Branagh's Hamlets in mind, we will begin to discuss both how film adaptation is like textual editing and how editing Hamlet is linked to specific interpretive issues, mostly regarding characters, and how the play's own questioning of inwardness puts our assumptions about character and performance. Directors of film or stage production in turn may edit the text into a script."

What is textual editing?
