U S Army Jackie Robinson
1,218 wordsWhen youre in the military, youre presented a salute upon which respect and dignity imply. Unfortunately, this wasnt always the case. All of that was hastily forgotten. He barely missed a court-martial and was honorably discharged shortly thereafter (Davis 1). Would you believe that it was because he refused to move from a front seat to the rear seat of an army bus? He was a legitimate soldier in the U. S. Army. He enlisted after the Pearl Harbor bombing and was promoted to Lieutenant three year...

Although they have substantiated themselves in many ways, women are still viewed as inferior to men, especially as athletes. Women have always participated in extracurricular...

Monica Day Life
586 wordsA VICTORY DOWN UNDER I never thought I would have to go as far as Australia to write a story on a fellow Bayonne High School alumnus, Monica Czeravlo. I was of course always familiar with her track breaking record all through school, but I never had the opportunity to talk with her one on one. Now here I am in beautiful Sydney, waiting patiently with pen and paper in hand for Monica to finish her interview with NBC. Its a delightful day with a temperature of about 85 degrees, and the sun shimmer...

Grand Prix Steady Increase

Someone posted a short but gripping note, I think I just witnessed the death of Ayrton Senna, he said. My eyes widened as I exclaimed what, in shock and dismay. A few hours later, the facts became more clear. Senna had crashed on the sixth lap of the San Mari...

Katherine Anne Porter Southern Belle
2,172 wordsHistorically women have been considered intellectually inferior to men and also a source of temptation and evil. Women have also been considered naturally weaker than men, squeamish, and unable to perform work requiring muscular or intellectual development. In most early societies, and up until fairly recently, domestic chores were relegated to women, leaving heavier labor such as hunting, plowing, and careers outside of the home to men. Maternity was considered the natural biological role of th...

Type Of Music Main Theme
3,213 wordsFILM SCORE MUSIC To say that music plays a large role in our society would not do justice to one of the most important and popular art forms of yesterday and today. We underestimate the effectiveness and power that music, in any form, can have over even the most insensitive of people. In almost everything we do and see music is involved in some form or another. Be it a piece played at a wedding, a song played on the radio or even the music played in the background in a television commercial. The...

U S Military Global Positioning System
1,395 wordsIn the 1800 s, most things were done using manpower, not machines. To plow a field it used to require a team of horses and a plow. To make butter it required a hand churn. Life was simple and people depended on themselves. In the 1920 s the automobile was a very important technological machine. Instead of a team of horses and a carriage, one could move about more efficiently in an automobile. Through the following years many advances in technology occurred: electric machines, televisions, radios...

Mclaren F 1 Front And Rear Mph
298 wordsThe McLaren F 1 is capable of 0 to 60 mph in 3. 2 seconds and a top speed in excess of 240 mph. This makes it the fastest production car in the world. During development work, McLaren driver Jonathan Palmer drove F 1 prototype XP 3 around Italy's 7. 5 mile Nardo test track at 231 mph. But for the tight nature of the track, the car could have gone even faster. Early in 1998 this record was broken at Volkswagons test track with a recorded speed of 241 mph. Powering the McLaren is a quad cam, 48 -v...

Make Their Rounds Long It Takes Johnny
653 wordsJohnny Got His Gun was not what I expected it to be. I thought it would be about the battles that were fought throughout the war. Instead it was about a man who had been severely injured by a bomb. The entire story takes place with the protagonist in a hospital bed. He remembers his childhood and thinks about the war. He cannot see or hear and has to rely on touch to know whats going on around him. This setting was very different from all the action I expected from a war book. &# 9; I guess its ...

Heavier Than Air Craft Heavier Than Air 1903
725 wordsAlthough the 1902 flyer was the first truly-effective heavier-than-air craft, it didnt have a propulsion system, and so counts only as a glider, not as an airplane. The problem for the Wrights in 1903 was to develop a powered machine. They had to make one more breakthrough to be successful here: understand how propellers work. This was harder than it seems, as no one really understood that a propeller was nothing more than a wing that rotates on its axis, and lifts the plane forward. So, the Wri...

Alpha Male Important Aspect
1,222 wordsWhy do we study primate behavior? The answer is simple: To learn more about ourselves, and how we, as humans, might have been in our evolutionary past. By studying other primates, we can learn many things about ourselves, and our more anomalistic behaviors. We can learn and develop a series of derived traits or our ancestral traits. Through archaeology we can interpret our ancestor s social patterns and trace the development of our own human culture. Primates are like a mirror into our past, und...

This passion originates when drivers race specially designed automobiles over tracks or courses of differing lengths, designs, and constructions. It tests the skills of the drivers, the speed capabilities of the vehicles, and the endurance of both. Automobile racing, which originally consisted of...
