Bad Weather Horse Power
1,102 words... hey needed to design a propeller that would supply the thrust. No big deal, right? Wrong! No one had designed a propeller for flight through air. All that there was to go on was marine propellers. The Brothers did not have the time or money to test many designs. They decided to scrap the theory used for marine propellers, and make up their own. After long discussions they realized that the only way to test the propeller is to try it on the plane. The decided two things about the propeller: f...

Ode To The West Wind John Keats

Observing the seasonal cycle, the poet looks for "a similar pattern in the world of social and political life" (Tet, p. 214) of England: he wants to be for his nation such a changing power, as the wind is for nature. So he calls for the wild spirit to become his own, praying to it: "Drive my dead That is, he wants to hasten the coming of new changes in his society through his verse ^ he asks from the wind to "scatter.....

Opening Chapter Hot Air
1,376 wordsA dictionary defines the word addictive as being: wholly devoted to something, a slave to another and in a state of wanting more. Ian McEwan claimed that he wanted to write an opening chapter that had the same effect as a highly addictive drug. In my opinion he has achieved in doing this. At the end of chapter one the reader is left needing more information about the characters introduced and what tragedy actually occurred. McEwan took the definition, addictive, and wrote the opening chapter, ne...

The Northern Lights Aurora Borealis
1,012 wordsYou are outside on a clear summers night, when all of a sudden a flash catches your eye. You whirl around in bewilderment as the black night sky flashes and dances with a whirling array of colors. The northern horizon is draped with an iridescent green, deep blues, sharp violets, scarlet reds, and bright oranges and yellows. You stand awestruck as the colors descend, like a melting rainbow, across the sky. Then, as quickly as they appeared, they vanish without a trace. On clear nights, when the ...

Along with savings on your utility bills, a mature landscape with energy-conserving shade trees can, by some estimates, increase your property's value by as much as 15 percent. Of course, arbitrarily placing these same energy-conserving plants can also increase your utility bills. The more solar-dependent your home is (that is, if it has a solar-water heater, a passive space heater, or an attached greenhouse), the more vulnerable it is to haphazardly placed trees a...

Sir Francis Drake Mary Queen Of Scots
4,154 wordsThe Battle of the Spanish Armada The great naval battle between Spain and England in 1588 - one of the most important battles in the history of the world- is known as the Battle of the Invincible Armada. But in a sense, this is a misnomer. An invincible armada is one that cannot be defeated, yet the mighty fleet of warships that Spain sent to invade England, was defeated so badly that Spain could never again rule the oceans. How was it possible that this armada, which had awed all of Europe with...

National Hurricane Center Loss Of Life

With such strength, it is no wonder why these natural disasters have such large destructive impacts on the environment.

Romantic Poets William Wordsworth
3,061 wordsThe poetry of the English Romantic period (1800 - 1832), often contain many descriptions, and ideas of nature, not found in most writing. The Romantic poets share several characteristics in common, certainly one of the most significant of these is their respective views on nature. Which seems to range from a more spiritual, if not pantheistic view, as seen in the works of William Wordsworth, to the much more realistic outlook of John Keats. All of these authors discuss, in varying degrees, the r...

Childhood To Adulthood Force Of Nature
1,196 wordsThe transition from childhood to adulthood is a complex but universal passage. Both Katherine Mansfield's The Wind Blows and D. H. Lawrence's The Virgin and the Gipsy embody adolescent angst in their characterization. Matilda and Yvette search for meaning beyond the lives they perceive they are condemned to lead. Both bring about greater understanding of the struggle between a young girls struggle of innocence versus sexuality. In similar uses of metaphor and imagery the stories tell the tale of...

White Light Long Run
1,029 wordsThe song I chose for analysis is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. I have looked over the lyrics of the songs and come to the conclusion that the song is about the Apocalypse. It is about how people would react if they knew that the world was about to end. I have broken down the meanings in almost every verse, which I will show later on in this assignment. The mood of the song is slow and depressing during the time in which they are waiting for the end to come. By the end of the song it gets f...
