... destroyed houses, bridges, and logging trucks during the May 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, and have inundated other valleys around Cascade volcanoes during prehistoric eruptions. Lahars at Nevado del Ruiz volcano, Colombia, in 1985, killed more than 23,000 people." Near a volcano, the falling volcanic ash is quite heavy (high density), and the newspaper used as a proxy for volcanic ash in the movie looked more like snow (low density) as it fell. For geologists who have seen the movie, the hot, runny lava, seen issuing from the volcano, is the most bothersome issue. Generally, runny, fast-flowing l ...

Art Making And European Influence
Number of Words: 635 / Number of Pages: 3
... have lacked an audience aware of their existence or willing to consider their work". (page xxv) Although that statement is true, I don't think it ever occurred to the author that maybe Native Americans do not want nor do they feel the need an for audience in order for their art to be of value. To Native Americans their art is spiritual, meaningful and made as a part of life. Originally their art was not intended for sale nor for display in an impersonal museum.
Each and every individual makes art for a different reason. The reasons for why European Americans and Native Americans make art are tremend ...

Julius Caesar: Loyalty
Number of Words: 852 / Number of Pages: 4
... perhaps a war would not have occurred, in
fact, it most certainly would not have. After the death, the angry mob
should have put the conspirators to death, not let them toy with their
minds as they would a five year old. The mob, like a great many people,
believe what is easiest to hear. In the mob of people did loyalty exist?
Doubtful, little if any. What coexisted in the crowd with that little
loyalty was ignorance, and much of it.
I believe that Brutus showed the greatest amount of loyalty to his
country. He just went about showing it in a corrupt manner. He sacrificed
a great friend for wh ...

... of blindness comes at the beginning of the play. First he was easily deceived by Goneril and Regan's flattery brought on by him saying
Which of you shall we say doth love us most,
That we our largest bounty may extend
(King Lear I.I.51-52)
This vast reward he offers in return for the confession of love is bound to induce an exaggerated version of feelings to maximise the reward, as Goneril says
Sir, I do love you more than word can wield the
Matter,
(King Lear I.I.54-55)
She then continues with
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour.
(King Lear I.I.58)
Regan then backs up her ...

Wilson's Fences
Number of Words: 803 / Number of Pages: 3
... Cory that he won’t get to play because of the discrimination. “I decided seventeen years ago that boy wasn’t getting involved in no sports. Not after what they did to me in the sports (p.39).” Troy also wants Cory to be a man. He tells Cory to keep with school because he never had an education. He wants Cory to grow up to learn a trade like fixing cars or build houses so they can’t take it away from him unlike an injury in sports. “You go on and learn to put your hands to some good use. Besides hauling people’s garbage (p.35).”
He is a great fighter when it comes to dealing with death, whic ...

The Missing Dialogue In Antigone
Number of Words: 1024 / Number of Pages: 4
... political one. What should have
more power within a society, the divine laws of the gods or the laws of the land
and the mortal rulers? Antigone is a representation of the divine laws of the
gods, and she remains steadfast to her beliefs that the wishes of the gods
should overpower the wishes of the king. Creon, on the other hand, is the
representation of the laws of the land and the mortal ruler of society. He, too,
remains steadfast (until the end of the play when he realizes the divine laws
are stronger) in upholding his laws and trying to overpower the laws of the gods.
This political scenario ...

Infomercials And Other Dishonest Commercials

... come on and say
that their experience with the psychic was "life changing," and that "it
was so real…the psychic knew everything." It is amazing what people will
fall for in this day and age.
Info-mercials are basically half hour commercials that attempt to
sell products to watchers. The products that most info-mercials offer are
things that are said to "improve someone's life" but in most cases the
products are rip-offs and are an easy way for the manufacturer's to make
money. Some of the products include the "AB-flex," a simple rocking seat
that is supposed to hold this unearthly power to flatten ...

Number of Words: 246 / Number of Pages: 1
... was young, has killed just as many people as they did. Much to
Jonathan's surprise , the aunts killed just as many men without the plastic
surgery , without the running , they just sat right there .
"Charge…" we hear as Teddy Brewster runs up the stairs. This
caracter brings out the most comedy in the picture. Teddy is the only character
in the movie that proves to be insane in my opinion. Any man who thinks he is a
dead president (TDR) has to have some problems.
The plot unfolds when Mortimer Brewster finds out about his
aunts secret after finding a present in the window seat . Mortimer panics a ...

Modern Vs. Ancient
Number of Words: 771 / Number of Pages: 3
... same themes, and have
the same morals. Just like plays passed on from generation to generation, modern
plays also have morals in them, and many of those morals are similar. For
example, the theme of Antigone and Oedipus was that we should listen to others,
and we shouldn't think that we are always right, because there are always people
who know more than we do. The theme from The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man in
The Moon Marigolds is very similar. They all teach us that we should be honest,
and we should listen to others.
Both ancient and modern plays rely on tragedy in the plot lines. Tragedy

... and did not
notice Arnie disappear. He ended -up climbing to the top of the water tower and
not coming down until the firefighters carried him down. Their mother was very
upset with Gilbert and asked, “Where has your head been?” Gilbert head has been
up in the clouds, with his love.
This movie, “What's eating Gilbert Grape” is similar to the movie “Rain
Man”. In both movies they have mentally impaired bothers who need certain
treatment. These brothers didn't always give it to them. In “Rain Man”, Charlie
abducted his brother, Raymond, from the only home he has ever know. This wasn't
the proper k ...
