Training Program 30 Second
1,628 wordsThis training program is for Bob, a male eleven year-old student with cerebral palsy. This requires him to use a wheelchair most of the time although he is able to stand and walk for short distances of approximately 30 feet when there is something to hang on to for stability. With more muscular training, that distance could be increased greatly as the only reason he cannot continue is fatigue and therefore the risk of falling or other injury. It should be noted that an assistant will be needed f...

Million Years Ago Five Hundred
1,312 wordsOn Saturday 12 th 2000, my family and I went on a float trip on the Huzzah River in Steelville, Missouri. The Huzzah River and its surroundings were a perfect location for me to look for my fossil. Since the water level was shallow, that enabled me to look to the river bottom. Almost immediately after I began my search near the edge of the river, I spotted a rock that appeared to have some sort of shell embedded in it. I decided this would be a good specimen for me to try to examine and identify...

Roaring Twenties American Dream
1,411 wordsAmidst the exceedingly prosperous decade of the 1920 s, traditional American lifestyles and principles were interjected by the new superficial and materialistic beliefs closely associated with The Roaring Twenties. Undoubtedly, the 1920 s were a decade of change. Deteriorating moralities and optimistic beliefs of overnight wealth replaced strict traditional views on religion, family structure, and work ethics. In an era of such high optimism, the pioneering spirit of the American Dream was revit...

Alienation In Modern Society
1,280 wordsI will compare and contrast Mike Newell's Dance with a Stranger and Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave in terms of alienation. The reasoning behind my choice is that these two films have explicit characteristics in the frame of alienation. Both highlight modern alienation in terms of alienated sexuality, isolation, normlessness whereas Newell discusses alienation also in class and gender difference perspective; Boyle discusses alienation in the working place as an alienated labour. To begin with, when ...

Rear Window And Gentlemen Prefer Blondes On Display
1,486 wordsRear Window (1954) and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) have very different plots but still have many striking similarities, such as the manipulation of the spectators gaze. Gaze is the transaction between the screen and a spectator. Two examples of the types of gazes used in these films are voyeuristic and fetishistic. The use of voyeuristic and fetishistic gazes reinforce movie viewing and gender roles during the 1950 s by featuring manipulative and frivolous women as sex objects. Rear Window i...

Gravitational Pull Ocean Bottom
1,386 wordsPhysics of Tsunamis Wendy M. Blevins PS 102 Explorations in Physics Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This paper will discuss the physics and warning systems of tsunamis, a destructive wave force that researchers have been studying for many years. Tsunamis are different than tides or surface waves because undersea earthquakes, instead of winds or the gravitational pull of the moon or sun, generate them. They can reach speeds of up to 700 kilometers per hour but can be undetected unti...

Equal To Men Treatment Of Women
1,669 wordsThe classical age of Greek art spans the years from the end of the Persian Wars (479 B. C. ) to the death of Alexander the Great (323 B. C. ) During this period, standards were established that would dominate Western art until the emergence of modern art in the late nineteenth century. Greek drama and great poets like Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides gave huge expression to the rise of the individual through their awareness of human personality. Euripides was by far the most modern of these gr...

Open Source Software Source Code
2,149 wordsIn his essay, The Cathedral and the Bazaar, Eric Raymond says: Perhaps in the end the open-source culture will triumph not because cooperation is morally right or software hoarding is morally wrong but simply because the closed-source world cannot win an evolutionary arms race with open-source communities that can put orders of magnitude more skilled time into a problem. Probably the best way to begin, is by giving a little background into the man who wrote this quote. While researching this pap...

Daisy And Tom Jay Gatsby
1,625 wordsAfter reading the book The Great Gatsby, the author, F. Scott Fitzgerald imparts upon the reader a very specific impression of glamour and allurement in a perfect, yet shallow, upper class society. Even the front cover of the book itself illuminates the flair and attractive lights that would appeal to those of wealth. But John Read Seurat s painting of the Man at a Parapet shows the complete opposite image. Seurat s dismal use of specificity and drab use of color is everything that a man like Ga...

Matthew Arnold Dover Beach
1,286 wordsA man stands on the cliffs of Dover, looking out at the ocean. He is self-absorbed and experiencing feelings of dejection. This man goes on for stanzas uttering thoughts to himself, at least that is what one could surmise from the indifferent tone. Then, when the reader is convinced that the man is simply philosophizing out loud to himself, the man addresses for the first time another party. That party is a woman, one that he refers to as love. Funny, she is almost not visible for the entire poe...
