With one year remaining on Paul Millsap’s contract with a player option for the 2017-18 season, Howard is now -like it or not- the face of the Atlanta Hawks franchise. Not since Howard left Orlando four seasons ago has he…
“I hope I don’t get exposed to a radiation.” I thought to myself as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist in the future. Because I would have to prepare radiopharmaceuticals, I would communicate with others, and I would have to remember a ton of things, these things would be challenging about being a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. To begin, having to prepare radiopharmaceuticals would be a huge challenge to me. Radiopharmaceuticals is a radioactive compound used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes…

In Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451”, being lonely is generic between all the characters. In this dystopian society, government technology is depicted and described as noisy bugs that quietly invade citizens’ minds each moment they are awake, whether they are in the parlor with their ‘family’ or just going to sleep with the seashell radios droning endlessly in their ears taking them everywhere except the outside world. Most characters in this story are secluded from society by either being an…

Fire, blistering and burning but also so embracing and warming. Is it good or bad? It’s such a complex thing to understand, and it is an even more complex symbol in the novel Fahrenheit 451.

In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury uses fire as a destructive force, and gradually changes it into a bright, constructive power. Montag has used fire in several ways. He’s used it to…
It was a torture to burn. A long time back, Montag had enjoyed the feel of a cold, heavy brass nozzle in his hands, spewing kerosene on the leather bound books, followed by a blazing fire that turned their yellowed pages into black smoke. Dickens, Shakespeare or Doyle. He burned the books, then burned their ashes with a proud glint on his face, a smile plastered for forever. Montag was addicted to the adrenaline that surged through him, the smell of kerosene that followed wherever he went, a…
