All I heard was my pounding heart in my ears. I could feel the rhythm of my heart speeding up,
shoving passed people not seeing them fully detailed from my blurry vision, and felt nothing except
panic. This past summer I had the opportunity to tour Italy, with a tour group. On our last day, we
were visiting the city of Pompeii. We had just eaten lunch in a restaurant, which is a part of a hotel,
and very crowded with tourists. I was ready with to go on the tour of the Pompeii Ruins with my
sunglasses setting on top of my head and phone in my hand ready to take pictures. Our tour group
was waiting in the lobby for everyone to meet backup. The lobby walls are an off white with a tile
floor to match, the sunlight reflected of the walls and tiles making the room bright. There is a dark
wooden stair case that wraps around all four walls, and a glass chandelier dangling in the middle of

was very kind and helped as much as he could. He found the maid who had just cleaned the

My Place : My Memories Of My Childhood Place
My childhood place
There is a place that is a constant reminder of my childhood. This place is my room. Though it has
changed since I was born it still reminds me of the time I spent there as a kid. My room is a medium
sized room with two closets a small closet with a door and slanted ceiling and a large closet nearly
four times the size but without doors only the rails where the sliding doors used to be. The actual
room is a nice open room with a white ceiling and black carpet. The walls have changed colors three
times over the seventeen years I've lived in it. the walls were originally a worn white and when we
first moved in. I was around the age of four and didn't wasn't to move. So my parents promised me
and my siblings that we would be able to pick our room colors to make us happy in our new home.
My parents asked me what color I wanted my room. The issue for me was I didn't know what color I
wanted back then. I told them I wanted all the colors but mainly, green and blue while my brother
wanted yellow and red. issues with pluming caused me and my brother to have to share my room
until his was updated and repaired. So my parents decided to paint each wall in my room a different
color. Walking into the room the wall to the left was red, the far wall green, the left wall blue and the
wall with the door was yellow. there were some things we did to the room but not much. The main
thing we did was carve our height as we grew on the frame of the closet. Even with the next

Mending Wall Robert Frost Analysis

ENG 202 01
20 November 2017
An Analysis of Frost's "Mending Wall" "Mending Wall" written by Robert Frost seems to take place
in a countryside estate. The speaker and his neighbor are fixing a wall together, which separates
their properties. "Mending Wall" is a poem that describes the relationship between two neighbors
and idea of maintaining barriers. This poem reflects how people make physical barriers and
emotional barriers. A barrier is an object that keeps something in or the unwanted out. The speaker
wants to know why these barriers are up. "If we make a psycho–analysis of the speaker through the
present poem, we came to the conclusion that the neighbour is no one but the inner self of the
speaker" (Srivastava 257). "This wall is nothing, but the gap between human–beings on various
aspects culturally, economically, and socially" (Srivastava 257). The wall is a basis for the many
differences that people in our society have. Throughout this poem, we see the speaker struggle to
find a reason for having a wall that is separating him from the neighbor. The speaker is valuing
innovation over tradition. Although, the speaker is also a man of tradition he is trying to rebel
against the norms that frustrates him. The speaker does not want a relationship with his neighbor. In
line 1, Frost begins by saying "Something there is that doesn't love a wall". Frost seems to refer to
"something" as anything in this world from humans to nature. This

The Jewish Concentration Camp On The Camp
Woke up & had breakfast in the hostel. Went to the train station and met our tour guide, then headed
to Dachau. Dachau had mixed emotions. The Jewish concentration camp left many speechless.
Words could not describe how it felt to walk through the camp, where so many people was
murdered. Walking to the furnace I could not fathom what actually took place. I never knew all of
the symbols each prisoner wore and had no clue there was a different symbol for everyone in the
camp. Seeing the original prisoner suits was amazing yet sad. The status of the mangled bodies will
be imbedded in my memory and I will never forget what the wall stated which was "Never again."

Art Reflection
When I had first passed my TSI test that I needed in order to get college classes, I was pretty excited
to find out that I was taking art appreciation. At first it was nothing like I had expected, I thought it
was just another class. We learn about famous paintings that are very popular in the modern times,
stuff dating back a really long time.
When he told us that we were going to build an art cafe in the library, I was pretty pumped because I
love coffee and I thought it was going to be pretty fun to build our own cafe, but i thought to myself
how is this going to happen? The library was a pretty small space and I was curious to see where
this would go. First, he told us to take out certain pieces of furniture and remove some tables and
chairs, or to push them back. I kind of felt like "Aw man, we have to move a bunch of stuff, this is
going to be pretty boring." I had taken out several chairs and tables, all around me things were
getting taken out and it was all slowly happening. This process had taken only about 2–3 class
periods, I was so glad when I found out it was finally over. During our lecture before we would head
over there for our next step, he would talk about importance of color, line, perspective, and the
usage of light. I had never knew the little things had mattered, but it did.
Next, he had asked me to paint the wall, which was to cover up the chipping white paint that was
starting to look out of place. It was with this really huge paint roller and I

A Comparison Of 'The InterlopersAndMending Wall'
You listen to your parents right? You believe most of the things they tell you because they are the
ones who are trying to guide you in the right direction. Well while most of the things they tell you
are good they may tell you some things that may not be the right way to look at things.
In the poems "The Interlopers" and "Mending Wall" by Saki and Robert Frost they show how some
of the traditions passed on from generation to generation can affect people in the wrong way. ¨The
Interlopers¨ is about two families that are in a family feud over a piece of land to hunt even though
this land Ian's is absolute trash. Mending Wall is about two neighbors that have built a wall between
their property just two go back every Spring they have to rebuild it because it keeps falling apart
every winter and between these two neighbors one believes that they should get rid of the wall the
other is.
Detail and Epiphany. For Mending Wall the narrator has an epiphany about the use of the wall and
that they don't need it. For detail at the start of the poem he describes how beaten up and broken the
wall is. For Epiphany in Interlopers they get the sudden thought that they don't need to be in such a
rivalry between each other. For detail the narrator describes the forest and how it is no good for
hunting.
Through their use of detail, Saki and Frost convey the idea that not all traditions should be passed on
from generation to generation.
The epiphany of the two men realizing that there is no reason for them to hate each other
Over the bad hunting land. When both Ulrich and Georg square off both with rifle in hand aimed
directly at each other when out of nowhere nature interrupts the two with "A fierce shriek of the

of falling beech tree had thundered down on them." After nature had played its role in the argument
they both lie there struggling to hang on the bit of life they still have left they continue to wish death
upon the other until Ulrich pulls out a wine flask and offers some to Georg, Georg rejects the offer at
first with simple excuse of "No I can scarcely see anything; there is so much blood caked round my
eyes." and

supernatural skills to write a poem which may seem to be a simple, ordinary poem, yet what lays
hidden behind the veils may be unraveled. That is the spiritual world that you and me may learn to
understand the philosophical basis of human nature that provokes the human revolution. Believe it
or not this poem was ingeniously devised by Robert Frost to articulately open up a world of ideas
that acumen imagination and its complexities. That is what I will be elaborating on in terms of
textual evidence.

Like tree felling, sheep shearing and crop–harvesting. It is a ritual which has it's own paradox, it
causes two neighbors to cooperate so that the wall which separate them to be sustained. It divides
even their energies at this moment as they keep the wall between them as they walk its line. The
definition of the ritual in strong symbolic terms is a statement of humankind's determination to hang
on to all that divides it. Furthermore in this stanza they fix the wall in springtime, after wintertime,
when the 'frozen–ground–swell' has done its work of destruction.
Frost feels a sense of mischief, an urge to question deep rooted and unreasoned attitudes. So he
questions his neighbour's motto: why do good fences make good neighbours? He uses the most
elementary of examples: if you had cows you would of course want to wall them in and stop them
from roaming into others' properties. But he points out the obvious, simple truth, in the most simple
of language: 'But here there are no cows.' Surely, such a persuasive argument must make his
neighbour rethink his preoccupation that you need walls between you to make good neighbours.
Frost questions the reasons for the wall being built in the first place. He sees a couple of reasons for
building a wall: if there is something you need to keep in or out, build a wall; if some trouble can
result from open spaces, build a wall. Otherwise why have one? He climaxes his argument by

Symbolism In The Mending Wall By Robert Frost
What Is The "Mending Wall"? Robert Frost's poem "Mending Wall" is a poem that was written
without proper form and has no stanzas/rhyme to it; this was done purposely by the author to make
the writing sound more conversational and look more like a common story that a reader can simply
apply to his/her own life circumstances. The poem presents readers with two neighbors and their
efforts at reconstructing a stone wall separating their property every year. Frost uses metaphoric
symbolism in this poem as the wall is used as a metaphor to portray the idea of a barrier between
people and the repairing of the wall as resolving obstacles and bringing people together. Every
spring, two very different men come together to rebuild a wall destroyed by nature and hunters;
however, the speaker begins to think, what is the purpose of this wall if we have no animals to keep
away? Why do we rebuild a wall every year that not even nature wants? The poem begins to
compare two lifestyles: traditional and logical. While the neighbor truly believes "good fences make
good neighbors", the speaker argues that respect and kindness do rather than a useless wall. The first
part of this poem announces the presence of wall destroyers. Lines 1–4 of the poem immediately
introduce readers to "something there is that doesn't love a wall". Frost announces that every year
something is destroying the wall he and his neighbor build. Readers are made to understand that
even nature itself does not like

Essay on The Hiking Trail of American Fork Canyon
The hiking trail begins with a pile of loose rocks, a talus slope, thanks to rocks that fall down one of
the walls of the American Fork Canyon. The walls of the American Fork Canyon were widened by
erosion. Many of the rocks are cracked. This is caused by the presence of vegetation. The trees and
other plants that grow in the rocky area dig their roots down deep into the rocks, causing cracking.
This is known as physical organic weathering. The valley of the American Fork Canyon has a V
shape when viewed from a distance. This is indicative of its age, meaning it is young and was never
covered over in ice, or glaciated. If this had occurred, the valley would have a U shape instead, and
it would mean that the valley is older. The tunnel ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This means that the fault is created by angular fragments of rock caused by movement along the
fault.
There are three caves, the Hansen cave, the Middle Cave, and the Timpanogos cave. There is a fault
line located right at the entrance of the Middle Cave. The minerals found most commonly in caves
everywhere are carbonite minerals, two of which, calcite and aragonite, are the two found in these
caves. Inside the caves, there are many different formations. There are 43 recorded formations, or
speleothems. One example is the stalactites found in Hansen cave that are 77 years old. Another
example is of the many helictites that have formed in Timpanogos cave. Helictites form from the
pulling of water through pores in the coverings of the walls. Calcite forms around the tiny openings
and water continues to fall through the straw–like structure, which continues to form in the direction
the water is falling. Branches are formed on the helictites when a passage through one way closes or
clogs and the water is forced to find another exit. There is an area that is called Father Time's Jewel
Box. There is another formation that was just recently discovered and identified. It is known as
Christmas Tree Coral. There is also frostwork, which are thin spreads of aragonite crystals. Carbon
dioxide from a possible number of sources and rain combine and react to make carbonic acid. This
acid dissolves limestone, which causes any water

War Of The Wall Analysis
Nowadays, people keep their identity a secret. Some people choose to keep it, while others are
forced to keep it hidden within the darkest lairs of their brain. Although they don't let other people
know who they truly are, they always have some hidden talents, which is clearly shown within the
short story "War of the Wall" and the poem "The Names". In the short story "War of the Walls", by
Toni Cade Bambara, there are two characters who are telling a "painter lady" to stop painting on a
wall that they "own". They tell her to stop, but the stranger doesn't listen. A few days later, the two
characters find that the lady had painted people on the wall, and eventually, we find out that the wall
was dedicated to people who fought for their own freedom. ... Show more content on

When using imagery, we can imagine what is going on, what the unknown characters did, and how
it's affecting an individual and the entire community. This would eventually allow us to find out who
the characters truly are, and what they believe in. Memories also play a key role in the message of
identity, since we can understand why specific characters did some things. Memories can influence
them, or remind them of people who were once with them. They may be physically gone, but they're
still in memories, and can still influence decisions, as seen in "War of the Wall." In the end, no
matter what you're reading, there are characters who do things that may confuse you, but imagery
and memories within the text can eventually lead you onto the right path of understanding the
reasoning behind

Conflict in Daniel Ridgway Knight´s Paintings
Daniel Ridgway Knight was an odd American artist who loved to paint relaxed French peasants in
luscious landscapes. Ironically, he lived during a stressful time when the Industrial Revolution
displaced numerous farmers and polluted the environment. He seemed to ignore the harsh truth and
shut himself in his imaginary serene world. For instance, In the Premier Chagrin, translated as The
First Grief, Knight paints two healthy girls conversing on a stone wall in front of gorgeous fields. At
first, it appears as merely a pretty painting that is nicely contrasted to show depth and realism. Yet,
with a closer look, this contrast in the colors and lines of the landscape and the figures creates
tension to suggest the painter's conflict between longing for serene freedom and feeling trapped
within the stiff society. Though the viewers focus first on the centered figures, it is easier to first
analyze the surrounding settings to understand them. The stone wall foreground and the open fields
of the background each embodies one of the girl's thoughts. The back landscape is filled with warm,
airy colors of blue and orange, as if it were under a bright sun. On the other hand, the foreground's
stone walls and concrete floor has dark, cold, shadowy, earthy colors that seem to appear as if under
a stormy cloud. The sunny land suggests free, pure, spacious land previous to the industrialization.
Yet, the darkened foreground due to the overcasting shadows resemble the currently dirty,

Analysis of Frost's Poem, Mending Wall Essay
People keep an emotional distance between one another to prevent others from getting too close to
them. Robert Frost in the poem "Mending Wall" shows the reader an example of two different kinds
of people. One kind of person is open to the idea of friendship and is willing to make an effort to try
to dissolve any conflict, and try to get along with someone else anyway possible. Then there is the
other side which is against the idea of change, someone who is closed to the idea of something new
and against breaking down social barriers. Yet both sides seem to find their common ground meeting
at the wall.

Their dedication and commitment to the wall shines through when reading how persistent these men
are about keeping it well intact. However, even though both men take great care of the wall, the
welcome necessity for keeping the wall there and intact is not shared by both neighbors, but the
neighbor opposing the idea of the wall uses this time to socialize with his neighbor and tries to
convince him that this time spent repairing the wall is as foolish and unnecessary as having the wall
left there in the first place. You take notice that during this "spring mending–time" the two neighbors
are not only completing a joint task, but they are also building some form of a relationship. If this
relationship was not willingly made between the two neighbors they would not repeat their routine,
time and time again.
As the poem goes on, it clearly shows that even though the two men are conversing and working
together, there is always some distance between them at all times. The poem even states that "on a
day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again." (14–15) It shows that even
though between both men there is a small link of friendship, that the one neighbor still wishes the
wall to be intact to be left alone so he can have his own personal space.
As the poem continues it begins

Sadr City is the last city where Chris is stationed in Iraq. The book talks about the local army
building a large wall to keep the insurgents out. I picture a large fifteen–foot wall made out of thick,
heavy cement blocks that are insuperable. I also visualize a large crane that puts those large blocks
in place. There are about thirty tall buildings that are empty from civilians fleeing the city from the
insurgents. A sewage river on the edge of town made the city smell awful: "It stunk worse than Iraq
usually stunk " (Kyle 345). I also visualize what it looks like when Chris is shot by the insurgents in
Iraq. Chris is shot once in the head and once in the back, but both shots were stopped by the armor
he wore. I picture the first shot hitting his helmet and pushing it back and nearly off his head. The
force of the gunshot is so great that he is knocked off his feet and lying on the ground. I see Chris
get up and start walking on the dirt road back to the Humvee. While walking to the Humvee Chris
gets shot in the back and I picture the dent in his body armor that stopped the bullet from penetrating
his back. I visualize how Sadr City appears and what Chris looks like after being shot in

Essay on Robert Frost Mending Wall
It is no secret how Robert Frost feels about walls after reading his poem "Mending Wall". To say
that Frost admired and favored walls would be a lie. On the contrary, based on his poem it is
apparent that he would prefer there be no walls present. I was led to ask myself, what type of wall is
Frost referring to? It is not merely a physical wall made of stone, but a barrier that people place
among each other to create an illusion of separation and protection. The style of the poem makes it
simple to read, however when you take a closer look into the poem, you discover a whole new
meaning. Frost uses a variety of techniques throughout his poem such as metaphor, symbolism and

Isn't it/ where there are cows? But there are no cows here" (Line 29–31). Ironically he also states, "I
have come after them and make repair/ where they have left not one stone on a stone" (Line 6–7).
He is otherwise saying that although he feels the repairing of the wall is unnecessary, in order to
maintain peace between his neighbor he will rebuild the unnecessary wall. It would make sense to
simply have Frost leave the wall alone, thus ending the separation, but he chooses not to, indicating
that he too finds comfort in the presence of the wall. One of the first things that I noticed about the
style of the poem was that it was not broken up into stanzas, when looked at sideways gave the
illusion of a wall with gaps. It is a series of lines which become a poem that is written as a blank
verse iambic pentameter. Each line consists of ten syllables with the exception of Lines 8, 16, 24,
26, 27, 28, 37, 43, 45, which contain eleven syllables. At first glance it is easy to overlook this
detail, but once it is noted the question arises, what is the significance in these particular lines? In
lines 26 and 45 the neighbor says to Frost, "Good fences make good neighbors", we also learn in
line 43 that, "He (the neighbor) will not go behind his father's saying". These particular lines are
important because they help us to understand that the presence of the wall is something that was
instilled in the neighbor. By taking note that the mending of the wall

The 1st suite I entered had a large 60" flat screen television affixed to the wall a full living room set
with the couch being a deep blue and the recliner decorated with beige and deep blue circles. The

ambiance down to a subtle relaxing level. There was a queen size bed with enough large down filled
pillows to keep even a kid happy. The balcony was larger and able to keep to chairs and a small

Reading the text is a must for the terminal examination According to Bertrand Russell if it is
important to deduce matters; we must abide by the tenets of observation. The observation of matters
and things must be undertaken by us and us alone. We must not believe others blindly. All evidence
needs to be tested for its credibility and validity. Thinking that a person knows things whereas in
reality to remain ignorant of men and matters comes in the way of our deduction and findings.
Russell has given us the example of Aristotle in a jocular manner stating that the best way for him to
account for human teeth is to count them. Similarly if one is interested in knowing about the life of
'hedgehogs', then the appropriate course of action would be to find our more details about the animal
by way of personal observation which can lead to appropriate deductions. There are however issues
on which we have our passionate convictions.. In many such cases we remain oblivious of our
personal bias. Thus we become angry or frustrated when we have to face an opinion contrary to our
beliefs (Say for example if we meet an atheist and the opinion given by the atheist makes us angry)

My View Of The Wisconsin State Capitol
Not many people have had the opportunity to experience the Wisconsin State Capitol in the way that
I have. A few years ago, my family and I had the privilege of being invited to a ceremony at the
Capitol to witness a colonel in the Wisconsin National Guard became a general. The ceremony was
held in the large senate meeting room if memory serves me right. There were rows of long, curved
tables accompanied by large, office chairs. At the front of the desk of each seat, there was the name

The market may not occur inside the Capitol, but it is still a use of the grounds. It also attracts
people to the area, which could, in turn, result in more traffic within the Capitol. As you walk
through the revolving doors at the top of the stairs leading up from State Street and the market and
you'll find hallways full of history that all lead to the rotunda. The floor and walls around you are
made of marble, and if you were to look up while standing in the center of the rotunda, you would
see a large mural painted in the center of the dome. After the initial observations, some visitors may
choose to explore on their own, while others will elect to join an organized tour around the building.
From April until school ends in June, the Capitol is the destination for most, if not all fourth–grade
classes in Wisconsin (Derby). Fourth graders are taught about the state of Wisconsin, and what
better way to get them enthused than to take them to the white–domed castle where Wisconsin laws
are made and the state history is presented. Tour guides give three tours a day, each consisting of 50
fourth graders, during this time of year, according to a veteran tour guide (Derby). A different tour
guide says that the part of the tour that kids find the most interesting is the fossils located on the
second floor. The fossils are embedded in the marble walls and stairs rather than just sitting in a
showcase. This holds the kids' attention longer and

Descriptive Essay About Swimming
GO! My coach's booming voice rings in my ears as I dive off the starting block. This is my 3rd 100
meter sprint, but it feels like number 50. The water feels especially heavy. Even though I'm
breathing way too often, my lungs are gasping for air. I silently beg myself to kick faster, but then
suddenly I am stopped. The rhythm of swimming has been interrupted. Another swimmer is in front
of me, going slower than I would like. The splashes from her kicks blind me, and the swirling water
makes it even harder to breath. I tap her feet once, twice, three times in the span of a few seconds.
We are soon approaching the wall. I prepare to stop, thinking that she, like everyone else, will pause
at the wall and let me go by. Instead, she flip turns and launches herself off the wall into another 50.
I sigh, pause at the wall for a few seconds, launch off the wall yet again, only to be greeted by the
familiar obstacle a few meters later.
This is what goes on almost every day at swim practice. Swimmers have an unspoken, sometimes
spoken, rule that if someone touches your feet, you stop at the wall and let them go by. This rule
keeps us working together like an orchestra, and our practices efficient like a highway. However,
sometimes swimmers refuse to do this. I have been the perpetrator of this misdemeanor. Everyone
on the team has been. However, some swimmers commit this crime more often than others, and it
gets extremely frustrating. My self control is put to the test because I feel the need to scream and
swim right over her. I can't, however, because we are a team and must work together. I am a caged
lion. The type of set has a lot to do with my reaction. If we are doing a long set without intervals, I
can deal with the shenanigans. My body is a calm lullaby. If it is a fast, high intensity, interval set,
then I start steaming like a teapot. The reason for that is I am already stressed because I am trying to
make an interval time. When people are in my way and refuse to move, I feel even more stressed
because I get even farther behind the clock.
The other big factor is when the swimmer is aware of the situation. One prime example of this took
place on a crisp autumn day in September, 2017. Although I had already

Hall Of Art Analysis
Art is often thought of as something obscure, something that must be sought out and searched for.
Oftentimes, however, art is much more obvious in its placement in society, and can be found right
under our noses. For my arts experience, I took a guided tour through the art–filled halls of the
Oliver Mansion, also known as Colpshaholm, found in my hometown of South Bend, Indiana. I
often overlooked this beautiful hall of art upon driving past it, and would have never guessed what
treasures lived inside and the history behind the building and its contents. The Oliver Family were
inventors who created the Oliver–Chill plow, and made millions of dollars selling these agricultural
tools all around the world. Having built connections throughout ... Show more content on

I was standing in a 20th century Midwestern American Home built by Scottish immigrants who
manufactured and sold iron plows for a living staring at what looked to me a picture that could have
been pulled right out of a textbook on Eastern European Christian Orthodox Churches that I have
seen so often and been able only to imagine what it looked like. This house, that I had passed by
many times previous, housed pieces of art like this beautiful icon that originated from around the
globe, in what I always perceived as, while a proud town, not exactly the cosmopolitan hub of the
region. This painting seen in the tour as well as the rest of the artwork in the tour showed me that art
is everywhere. Art isn't confined in museums or only housed in the largest and greatest cities in the
world, but right under our noses in the places that we look over because of the mundane and the
ordinary that we may fall prey to throughout our lives. This experience has taught me never to take
my surroundings for granted, to seize every opportunity to grow as a person that I could, and to
enjoy every moment and every glimpse of the hidden art around me that I can take

The adventure will start with a 30 minutes walk from town proper up to the cave entrance. Our
group are welcome by hanging coffins found at the entrance of Lumiang Cave. I have an idea that
this is going to be tough but what I did was beyond my expectation. Before we start, we are brief on
how to stay safe inside the cave: sit and crawl if necessary. If you feel like falling, be alert and

need to hold on tight. The first part of caving is easy. It's more of walking and every group are still
energetic. You can even still hear loud laughter at this part. After few minutes of walking, our group
came to a halt. We rest for quite a long time and when I found the reason why, my heart began to

Analyzing Willy Loman's Argument While Performing Standing...
Participants of all ages were consistent while performing standing long jump, the only difference
between participants was what level they were performing at. Age 2, Landon was performing at a
high level with his leg but a very immature arm component. His arms just flopped while he was
jumping, had no preparatory phase or need to use his arms they were nonexistent to him. This may
be due to lack of balance, if he used his arms or bent his knees that would give him more power that
maybe his body can't handle and he then would not land correctly. His legs, though he had
simultaneous extension he had barely any knee movement, no bend so his jumps were very low to
the ground. Age 5, Sam, consistent with arms and legs heels up first and arms were ... Show more
Age 15, Matthew, was consistent he fell into the mature category, just like the 5 year old. He had a
strong preparatory phase as well as landing, you can see he built up momentum with arms and
landed perfectly with arms in front. We guessed there may be a background in athletics for him just
by the way he executed each jump with precision. The amount of power he had matched up to how
his body could balance it all, he had no trouble. Age 24, Amanda, was consistent also with mature
patterns, she has had dance background so jumping was simple and was done well. Due to the dance
background she was well balanced and was able to use that to increase her strength (Height) of the
jump. Age 55, Drew, did not perform at as high a level in the long jump as he did for the other skills.
His first few jumps he should no arm action and throughout his four jumps he jumped off of two
feet without getting much force off the ground. The lack of force could be attributed to his
preparatory phase where there was not much load in his legs and little to none arm

Snows Of Kilimanjaro Analysis
Angelica Sawan Professor North October 23, 2017 SLD Packet 2 Summary: "The Snows of
Kilimanjaro" by Ernest Hemingway is a tale of a man named Harry and his Wife Helen who are on a
safari trip, and while on it Harry catches gangrene because he doesn't put ointment on a cut he
received from a thorn while taking a photo of a water–buck. Throughout the story Harry is a
"Negative Nancy," arguing with his wife and being blunt about how he is going to die before a
rescue team can get to them. For example, Harry and Helen argue about whether he should drink a
whisky and soda, whether she should read to him, and about how he is going to die. Harry thinks
about his life experiences a lot in this short story, about how he hasn't lived up to his potential as a
writer because he has a tendency to marry rich women. Harry also goes in and out of consciousness
while remembering his life adventures. His wife Helen does care for Harry and she does enjoy his
writing, but she is obviously concerned about his health and his self–pity irritates her. Harry
mentions that Helen is really a good wife and does not keep him as a "proud possession" and how
she doesn't neglect his true talent, which is writing. We also find out that Helen is a widow who was
bored of the lovers before Harry and they married because of her enjoyment of his writing and how
they have similar interests. At the end of the story Helen wakes up because of a loud hyena call, she
takes a flashlight and shines it on Harry's bed which she moved into their tent earlier that night. She
sees him under the mosquito net with his leg hanging off of the cot and notices that Harry is dead.
The hyena cries again but Helen can't hear it over her heart breaking. Formal: "Tender Buttons" by
Gertrude Stein is a collection of writings about ordinary objects, and is divided into objects, food,
and rooms. She uses random objects with random adjectives, and she uses language to direct the
mind and force the reader to connect nouns with unsuspecting adjectives to make you look at the
world in a new way. It's a pros poem, it's a cubist poem. She tries to break apart logic. The theme is
giving new meaning to ordinary objects, she wants us to think, she uses a lot of literary devices.

decided not to make Providence Canyon a national park. They must not realize the repercussion of
doing so. Tourist, educational information, and the environment–wildlife each have effective

Georgia's Little Grand Canyon was created by the erosion of soft multicolored soils. The water from
seas, ancient streams, coastal beaches, and deltas have somehow amazingly made this beautiful
canyon. Erosion has exposed the geological records of several million years within these colorful
walls. Believe it or not, but the walls of Providence Canyon has 43 different colors. The minerals
have stained the sediments to create a display of several colors that range from white to various
shades of pink, red, yellow, purple, black and brown. The erosion has also led to alluring rock
formation. Erosion at the head of the canyon caused the length of it to differ from other canyons.

Biography Of Thomas Stonewall Jackson
"There stands Jackson like a stone wall," called General Bernard Bee years ago. Stony is the word I
would use to describe Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the firm–faced man with deep–set eyes and
salt–and–pepper beard whose portrait hung in front of me. This is the man whose military tactics are
known as the most brilliant of the Civil War. On the other hand, the man seen gazing lovingly into
his wife's eyes in a painting across the room looked anything but stony. I strode across the entry
room of Jackson's former Lexington home and joined the tour guide's side. Immediately, I and the
other tourists were led to Jackson's kitchen. "This is where meals for some of Lexington's finest
citizens were prepared. You see, Stonewall was a greatly respected

Psychoanalytical Criticism Of Mending Walls
Mending Walls, a Psychoanalytical Criticism More times than none, authors write concealed
meanings that they want the reader to discover. Like Norman N. Holland describes "literary
criticism is about books and psychoanalysis is about minds" (Holland), psychoanalytical criticism
focuses more on the mind of the reader and author, rather than the word for word meaning of the
sentences. With Mending Walls, Robert Frost wrote it in an open style of poetry; not focusing on
rhymes, but constructing each sentence with ten syllables. Nevertheless, Frost intents to catch the
attention of the reader by intentionally making ten sentences throughout the poem into eleven
syllables. This essay will intend to discover the hidden meaning that Robert Frost ... Show more
Frost used a distinct way of writing throughout his poem that not only hooked the reader into the
story, but also made them question their own views of walls, both physical and psychological. In the
poem it is displayed that walls can be both good and bad. The wall that the narrator sees as the
embodiment of what separates them, it is actually the one thing that brings them together every
spring. Near the end, the narrator brings back the original question, what is the something? With this
poem, maybe Frost wanted the reader to examine themselves and their surroundings and try to
answer the question of tradition, and how they unite us and separates us at the same time. The
narrator's neighbor is the personification of the old ways and custom in the poem, it is evident as he
is constantly repeating "good fences make good neighbors" (Frost 245) and the fact that "he will not
go behind his father's saying" (Frost 246). Even though, good fences make good neighbors is a
well–known proverb, people will eventually ask themselves: Why is it necessary to have fences to
build good

Native American Rock Art History
Native American rock art is a big part of early American history. Most of these fragments of history
were destroyed and lost to the public due to vandalism, mass settlement and colonization, and man–

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall has often been called a healing wall,
and for some, it helped them find some closure an their time fighting in an unpopular war. A group
of 24 veterans from three years, 13 of them from the Vietnam War, traveled from Shreve to
Washington, D.C., as part of an Honor Bus Trip to see the military memorials on a three–day trip,
returning Sunday night. For Roger Pennell, an Air Force veteran and commander of the American
Legion Post in Shreve, it was his first chance to see the wall. The visit for him was "impactful."
Over the years, he has tried to forget what happened in the war and put everything out of his mind.

The Trial And Scene Analysis: Pink Floyd: The Wall
Pink Floyd – The Trial and Stop Analysis
In the movie Pink Floyd: The Wall, the songs Stop and The Trial provide an insight into the
protagonists – Pink's – tormented mind. Being the pinnacles in Pink's development and leading him
to breaking down the wall, the two songs are critical to understanding the obstacles one faces when
forced to choose between a life under the illusion of safety or risking the detrimental effects that
illusion can cause.
The Trial appears at the end of the movie, and is preceded by a shorter and simpler, though no less
significant song, namely Stop. With the words "have I been guilty all this time?", Stop functions as
an introduction to The Trial . It explains Pink's need for a trial to take place, as it expresses his guilt,
exhaustion and desperation to find his way back "home ", a symbol for a safe place in life and a
peaceful mind – the things Pink attempted to obtain through building the wall, only to realize it
robbed him of them ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Throughout the movie, worms symbolize negative emotions and powers within Pink. The Worm,
portrayed as an enormous bottom with legs, declares Pink guilty of the crime of showing feelings
and hurting the people who love him. Therefore, he orders Pink to tear down the wall, or, being a
part of Pink's mind, does so himself by "defecating" upon him – an act symbolizing the negative
feelings taking over Pink and thereby destroying the wall. The film sequence then changes back to
the realistic scene it was during Stop, and is a fast–paced collage of all the things that contributed to
Pink building the wall around him. This cinematic technique shows the chaotic and disturbing
nature of the negative feelings flowing over Pink, as it all slowly diffuses to a still frame of the wall.
Suddenly, the wall breaks in slow motion, clearly showing each brick that Pink so carefully
collected throughout his life, break apart from the

Facing It By Yusef Komunyakaa Summary
"Facing It" by the American black poet Yusef Komunyakaa of Shreveport is written with the use of
visual images. Yusef Komunyakaa writes about one of his many trips to the Vietnam's Veteran's
Memorial in Washington DC. This Memorial is a long polished slab of black reflectant granite with
the names of all the US soldiers who lost their lives in Vietnam. Yusef says "my black face fades,
hiding inside the black granite". Here Yusef uses his reflection in the wall to bring the reader back to
the war and how he feels standing at the wall now. He makes his feeling ambiguous and give the
reader the opportuntity to decide what he is feeling through his use of viual images. For example,
one of these images can be interpretted in the section "My ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Perhaps he was someone that Yusef knew. With Yusef's thoughts flying back to the days at war, he
could have interpreted the reflection of a flash of a camera or a white cloud and instantly
remembered seeing this man blown apart by the flash of a booby trap. That particular experience
would definitely have stuck with anyone as a very prey–like memory. Another mysterious image
Yusef writes is "A white vet's image floats closer to me, then his pale eyes look through mine. I'm a
window. He's lost his right arm inside the stone". When he says a white vet's image floats closer to
me, he could either be talking about the memory of a white man he served with or a white man
walking closer to him at the wall. When the man's pale eyes look through Yusef's this could be that
the man at the wall is not really looking at him but at the names on the wall, or that the eyes are
looking through him because Yusef is watching him die in Vietnam as his soul is drifting away.
Perhaps this is the Andrew Johnson and he lost his arm "in the stone" as in in the war and Yusef is
speaking for him and other fallen heroes like a window. Also if it is a real man's reflection, maybe
his pale eyes looking through Yusef's could be showing Yusef the same pain and hurt that they both
went through in the war in the sense that Yusef becomes a window, by sharing the same hurt. Maybe
this man really did not have an arm or maybe his reflection of his arm was just hiden in the wall.
This symbolizes what

Pros And Cons Of Building A Border Wall
Will Building a Border Wall Do More Harm Than Good? According to our current President,
Donald Trump, and millions of supporters building a wall is just what we need for us to keep our
country safe. On the other hand, it is controversial to others who think that this will cause more
damage to our country and the relationships we have than it wall do us good. The New York Times
just released an article, "Eight Ways to Build a Border Wall", about the 8 new wall prototypes that
were put up in October and could possibly be used along the border of the US and Mexico. It is
explaining the pros and cons that border pratol has made about each wall. Building this wall will be
a major part in our U.S history no matter if it is successful on its purpose or not it will indeed change
the relationship between the U.S and Mexico. The Analysis The History The plan of building of a
wall along the southern border is nothing new. The stigma about Mexico being filled with nothing
but drugs and violence has been long lived. President Trump is not the first to start the idea of a
border wall; during the Clinton campaign in 1990 the Border Patrol began their barriers between
Tijuana and San Diego (Cutler, 2017). President Trump however has just been the first to publicly
express his view on Mexicans as immigrants saying, "They're bring drugs. They're are bringing
crime. They're rapist." During his presidential announcement speech (Kohn, 2015). However, since
the 1980's immigrants have traveled

Cultural Hegemony In The American Dream
Peter Carey has applied the motif of "the American Dream" to illustrate the issue of cultural
hegemony, and the potential consequences of it in terms of a specific nation's cultural identity. The
outcomes of cultural hegemony may appear if a society is heavily affected by another one and
endeavours to adopt its culture in the pursuit of a better life. In American dreams, Carey depicts
idealized utopian scenario and corresponding loss of townspeople's cultural identity – this fantasy of
the "American dream" emerges like one of the story's main motifs. Parallel to their mystification of
the American way of life, the people of a place called Bacchus Marsh develop a negative attitude
towards their own town, being dull and insignificant, as depicted in the words of the narrator's
father: "nothing more than a stopping place. Somewhere on the way to somewhere else" (Edelson).
The exact location of the Carey's remote, no one–wants–to–live–in town is unknown, even though
there are some indications that it is in rural Australia. Carey uses figurative language and magic
realism to achieve a sense of hidden meaning. Some toponyms really exist, like the fictional Bald
Hill and actual ones with the same purpose of serving as lookouts – "On Bald Hill are half a dozen
telescopes through which the Americans can spy on the town..." (Edelson). The situational irony
takes the reader to the opening of the story and the narrator's depiction of the locals at the Roxy –

Once people enter the capitol, there is an immense number of things to see and read to learn more
about the history of the capitol building and the state of Wisconsin. Some visitors may choose to
explore on their own, while others will elect to join an organized tour around the building. A benefit
of this is that the tourists won't get lost, and along the way, they will be able to learn facts that they
may not have been told had they wandered around on their own. From April until school ends in
June, the capitol is the destination for most, if not all fourth–grade classes (Derby). Fourth graders
are taught about the state of Wisconsin, and what better way to get them enthused than to take them
to the building that is all about Wisconsin. According to a tour guide that has worked at the capitol
since 1999, tour guides give three tours a day to about 50 fourth graders during this time of year.
The man says that they see about 1,000 kids per day. Some of the kids even know more than the tour
guides (Derby). According to a different tour guide, the part of the tour that kids find the most
interesting is the fossils located on the second floor of the capitol. The fossils are embedded in the
marble walls and stairs rather than just sitting in a show case. This holds the kids' attention longer
and also provides the tour guide to talk about more than just the history of the capitol (Brogan). For

thing you will notice is the smell of incents. My bedroom is beautiful because of the large mural and
all of the interesting things on my shelves. In my room I have items from all over the world and the
walls have a one of a kind mural, which was hand painted by my grandfather. My grandfather
started painting the mural on my wall when I was three years old and has been working on it every
time he visits my house. Additionally I have been collecting interesting things from countries all
around the world since I was young. Every time I would go to a foreign country I would try to buy
at least one item that I wouldn't be able to buy in the United States. Also every time any of my
family members would leave the country they would always bring me back some sort of item for my
collection.
The mural that my grandfather hand painted onto my walls over the course of several years is one of
the coolest parts of my room. One of the first things you will notice in my room is the mural that is

happens to be my favorite fish because of its unique coloring. At the top of each wall there are off
white clouds that are long and narrow. At the top of the wall opposite the door there is a small

hair she saw a fireplace. It still had a small stream of smoke rising from the final passing of the once
flaming embers. Katrina recognized the fur as belonging to that of a bear. She was becoming more
awake and aware, but remained light headed
She sat up on the bearskin bed, at began to look around. At her feet was a wooden box that sat two
feet tall and four feet wide. It rested against the wall, in the corner. She moved her gaze along the
wall to the left and found an empty wall with a small window next to a door. Through the window
she could see part of the wooden frame of the front porch. The door neared the corner of the cabin.

"I apologize if this is not the comforts you are accustomed to but I'm not used to being hospitable to
guests," said her Uncle as he walked in the front door. He spoke with a soft monotone. For a
secluded man, he did have the harsh barbarian bark that some men Katarina had met at the market in
Meldin Woods on rare occasions the hunters came to sell their kill.
"It...It's...It is fine, thank you," replied Katarina, still slightly light headed.
"I made some soup this morning," he began, remaining near the door. "Bowls are in the cupboard
near the stove. You are welcome to as much as you can eat. All I ask is that you do not waste it or
complain. I admit I am not as good as your Aunt when it comes to the methods of the kitchen, but I
do make a sustainable meal. If you prefer something more or less, I am sure your Aunt or Mother
taught you how to make your way around a stove.
"The garden is through the door by the stove, and meat is in the meat house. You'll see it beyond the
chopping stump, through the trees. I hunt every Saturday and fish every Tuesday now that it is
Spring. I know your father taught you how to hunt and fish so if you feel the desire to join me, you
are welcome to do so. I do not have much patience to teach you lessons like Sigara. You will never
have a short supply of chores that will need to be done around here either. You are family but I do
expect you to earn your keep.

Photography Is A Culture, Not Just A Medium
INTRODUCTION
Photography is a culture, not just a medium. Photography has been used as an exploitative tool, an
explorative tool, and an artistic tool. A photograph can be a snapshot of time, a record, a detail, a
shift, a perspective, an emotion. In curating photography, I had to learn how to create conversations
and comparisons between images, whilst simultaneously letting each work retain its individuality.
There is no one meaning in a photograph. The intrinsically challenging task was to provide points of
entry into the works and elucidate the broad theme of the exhibition, whilst allowing counter–
narratives and alternative readings to exist.
THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS
Working with an established collection – like The University of Auckland Art Collection, curators
need to work creatively in order to produce an exhibition that is both innovative and adequately
represents the collection. The University of Auckland Collection includes approximately 140
photographs that are situated around the various campuses and storage facilities. With such a range
to choose from, we approached the task in a practical way. We initially surveyed the works and
found a broad theme emerging – images of architecture and nature. Due to the range of locations
housing the pieces, it was important to then establish the works that could be transported to the
venue in time, and from these, we selected a more specific theme.
The Collection was established in 1966 with works from Colin McCahon and
