characters; explaining why it is third person omniscient. Inside An example of a simile in the story Holes is, “Zero’s face looked like a jack-o’-lantern that had been out too many days past Halloween-half rotten, with sunken eyes and a drooping smile” (Sachar 155). This is an example of a simile because it says its “like” a jack-o’-lantern that has been out too many days. An example of a metaphor in the story Holes is, “When they reached flat ground, Stanley looked up to see the sun, a fiery…

to quantum entanglement as in the EPR paradox. The conjecture states that the particle still inside the black hole (see fig. 2) and the escaped particle are mutually connected through a wormhole (see fig. 3), thus preserving both laws as the particles are connected by a single link- in this sense, these two particles could be considered the same. Likewise, the interior of the black hole, and by extension its emitted Hawking radiation, is independently entangled by the wormholes as a macroscopic…

that gravity travels across space-time in the form of gravitational waves. Well, they did. This morning, the LIGO team announced that they had picked up gravitational waves from the collision of two orbiting black holes. “We have detected gravitational waves from a binary black hole system,” says Matthew Evans,…

this; A red thread is connected to two people. The thread can be bent or it could get in a knot but it will never be broken. That red thread is like destiny, in the end the two people connected by the thread will be united. In Louis Sachar’s story, Holes, Stanley Yelnats is taken to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp for boys who committed crimes, and it ain’t the girl scouts.

they were seasoned professionals with an ability to interject soul and passion into their music. However, to make this argument, Bayles takes aim at the post soul music era as a counter narrative to further her thesis. Bayles posits in her 1994 book, Hole in the Soul: The Loss of Beauty and Meaning in American Popular Music, that the majority of music recorded after the soul music movement of the 1960s and 1970s revels in artificiality…

Hey Tagnet, My brother (Ethan Reuter) and I (Ian Reuter), are starting to prep for our semi-annual June trip down to TAG, and as such we are beginning to formulate a list of caves we want to visit while we are down there this summer. We love the caves down there so much, I doubt we will ever get bored of coming down. However, as we have been making trips down for a few years now we have started to exhaust the “TAG classics” list. With that said, there are some caves I feel like we have to…

This painting is a non-discursive symbol that has strong messages behind each specific color and the center darkness of the black hole. “Miasma” is an important piece of art to me because it can relate to the issues of identity and I find it personal because the majority of my family is immigrants; its hard for them to have a fair identity in the United States. In today’s society…

I found out about Particle Acceleration when I went to the United States Air Force Academy Summer Seminar in a class where we learned about propulsion. The topic covered was electrodynamics and it related to a particle accelerator. I have researched the particle accelerator online and watched videos over the CERN, largest particle accelerator in the world. I would like to further my studies in this topic so I can develop a large understanding of exactly how and why the particle accelerator is…

The Life Cycle of Stars The life cycle of a star is an incredible, miraculous phenomenon that begins with just two elements: helium and hydrogen. The result is the all well known star that is seen twinkling in the night sky and also what lights up the day here on Earth. There are hundreds upon thousands of stars that take on many different sizes and colors. Depending on the size of the star from its birth, the star could take two paths at the end of its life: turn into a nebula leaving behind a…

Rabbit Hole Three acts can be identifying when analyzing each scene in the short film Rabbit Hole, written by David Lindsay-Abaire. According to “Screenwriting Down To The Atoms”, there are three structures to each beat, the first, second, and third act. Each act serves a specific purpose and lets the reader dig deeper into the meaning of the story. In the beginning of the film Becca receives a call from her sister Izzy from jail asking Becca to come pick her up. The dialogue continues as…
