have happened. First, picture the forest. I want you to be its conscience, the eyes in the trees. The trees are columns of slick, brindled bark like muscular animals overgrown beyond all reason. Every space is filled with life: delicate, poisonous frogs war-painted like skeletons, clutched in copulation, secreting their precious eggs onto dripping leaves. Vines strangling their own kin in the everlasting wrestle for sunlight. The breathing of monkeys. A glide of snake belly on branch. A…

in their school years. There is rigorous conditioning that is needed to be a dancer so that you can do what may be asked of you with ease. (Wiltshire). Although dance may look easy, it takes a great amount of strength to hold anything from a pose, a leg extension, to a handstand. Every move that is made is working different muscles in a number of ways. There is so much focus put into training specific muscles to ensure that dancers are both in shape and strong. Dancing and performing tricks…
I have read the books and watched the plays of The Monkey's Paw, Sleepy Hollow, Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, The Necklace, Tell Tall- Heart and The Raven. I have noticed many differences and few similarities. I will be explaining what I observed between the books and the plays. In the books and the plays there were lots of details that were different to each other. In books they gave good visuals that explained who the characters were and what they looked like. The plays on the…
constructive case to present to her boss she needed evidence. The first thing Erin did was take samples of the water as well as the dead frog in the water. She did this in Hinkley near the PG and E company to see if there where high levels of chromium 6. Later she encountered a married couple that had seen defects in their chicken offspring, the chickens’ legs where crippled, they could not walk, and their bodies were filled with tumors then they eventually died.

(After intro) Vladimir Propp was a Russian folklorist and scholar whose contributions are both enormously important and highly accessible for the understanding of narratives found on television and in the media in general. Propp argues that there are 31 different series of rules and functions that all narratives follow. In “Propp, de Saussure, and the Narrative” Arthur Berger breaks down the 31 different rules and functions, the first function is the initial situation in which the main character…
The day I went on the trip was June 28th through June 30th. It started a couple weeks before when Joel said “Hey does anyone want to go to White Cloud Michigan for a three day trip?” I was thinking about it and I signed up. The days passed by like racing cars and that’s when the day arrived, I was ready to go. It took us three hours driving. It felt like an eternity, especial when we heard the same song on the radio like three million times. When we were in the van, we slept, we sang, and we…
The name comes from an old English word, "balde," meaning white. Bald eagles can see 4 to 7 times better than humans! They are able to see things sharply from quite far away. This, of course, helps them spot their prey from high in the sky or from a lofty perch in a tree or cliff ledge. But unlike humans eyes, an eagle’s eyes can’t move from side to side. So to look around, the eagle has to turn its whole head. Bald eagles can soar over 3,000 meters (9842 feet) high, and their great…

Mini Research Paper (Science of Frankenstein) Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley, involves science in a unique way. Using the scientific ideas of her time, Mary Shelley creates what some individuals would say is a warning to people (Nocks). The idea that people can play at a creator, or play at being God, is worrying to people. Most people say that the monster should have never been created, because the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, had no right to play God by…
