...------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 Summary A fair-haired boy lowers himself down some rocks toward a lagoon on a beach. At the lagoon, he encounters another boy, who is chubby, intellectual, and wears thick glasses. The fair-haired boy introduces himself as Ralph and the chubby one introduces himself as Piggy. Through their conversation, we learn that in the midst of a war, a transport plane carrying a group of English boys was shot down over the ocean. It crashed in thick jungle on a deserted island. Scattered by the wreck, the surviving boys lost each other and cannot find the pilot. Ralph and Piggy look around the beach, wondering what has become of the other boys from the plane. They discover a large pink and cream-colored conch shell, which Piggy realizes could be used as a kind of makeshift trumpet. He convinces Ralph to blow through the shell to find the other boys. Summoned by the blast of sound from the shell, boys start to straggle onto the beach. The oldest among them are around twelve; the youngest are around six. Among the group is a boys’ choir, dressed in black gowns and led by an older boy named Jack. They march to the beach in two parallel lines, and Jack snaps at them to stand at attention. The boys taunt Piggy and mock his appearance and nickname. The boys decide to elect a leader. The choirboys vote for Jack, but all the other boys vote for Ralph. Ralph wins the vote, although Jack clearly wants the position. To placate Jack, Ralph...

...require and expense. Need for care in both animals is essential and different. For example, a cat must have a cat box while a dog must be let out of doors to use the bathroom. Cat boxes have an odor when left unattended and must be cleaned regularly to prevent this from happening and for the health of the cat. In comparison, a dog will have to be let out of doors to use the bathroom or taken for a walk which can present a problem. For example, cleaning a cat box is an unpleasant job and, if it’s not kept clean, can cause the cat to use the bathroom in the house. Likewise, it may not always be convenient to take a dog for a walk so he can use the bathroom. To ensure that your pet is getting the right amount of exercise, a dog will need to go for walks, or to a dog park, to get their exercise, unlike a cat which is able to get the right amount of exercise indoors. A dog and cat need to be brushed on a regular basis for health purposes and to help with shedding. A cat is going to shed; however, there are breeds of dogs that will not shed. Both animals need fresh water and food. Unlike a dog, a cat can be a very finicky eater which may present a problem in finding a food the cat will eat while still...

...The Last Float Trip – analysis By Mads Brögger Klausen Summary The short story is about a 15-year old girl named Sam. Her father and she have been taking float trips as long as she can remember, but Sam has been offered a scholarship to a boarding school, and therefore this year’s trip seems to be the last one. Along with Sam and her father two others are joining them for the trip, Sam’s uncle Harry and a client of his, whose name is Laydon. With him Laydon is bringing a couple of guns, including a ‘’Nine-millimeter Ruger semiautomatic gun’’ which he intends to teach Sam how to use. She gets pretty good at it, but decides that her father must not know about the shooting. This little secret brings Laydon and Sam closer together and results in a creepy situation one night around the fire after Harry and Sam’s father have gone to bed. Laydon tries to touch Sam on some private spots, but she is clever enough to stop him and walk away. At the end of the trip Sam tells her father that she is now determined to accept the scholarship, maybe because he has discovered a bullet in Sam’s pocket just seconds before. Who is Sam? Sam is right on the edge of saying goodbye to her childhood and this trip makes her take the step to become a more independent and sophisticated young woman, this is also the story’s main theme. In the start of the float trip she is very nervous, shy and furthermore she is unsecure about her own person. At the end of the trip Sam has experienced a lot of new things...

...BELOVED Toni Morrison ← Analysis of Major Characters → Sethe Sethe, the protagonist of the novel, is a proud and noble woman. She insists on sewing a proper wedding dress for the first night she spends with Halle, and she finds schoolteacher’s lesson on her “animal characteristics” more debilitating than his nephews’ sexual and physical abuse. Although the community’s shunning of Sethe and Baby Suggs for thinking too highly of themselves is unfair, the fact that Sethe prefers to steal food from the restaurant where she works rather than wait on line with the rest of the black community shows that she does consider herself different from the rest of the blacks in her neighborhood. Yet, Sethe is not too proud to accept support from others in every instance. Despite her independence (and her distrust of men), she welcomes Paul D and the companionship he offers. Sethe’s most striking characteristic, however, is her devotion to her children. Unwilling to relinquish her children to the physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma she has endured as a slave, she tries to murder them in an act that is, in her mind, one of motherly love and protection. Her memories of this cruel act and of the brutality she herself suffered as a slave infuse her everyday life and lead her to contend that past trauma can never really be eradicated—it continues, somehow, to exist in the present. She thus spends her life attempting to avoid encounters with her past. Perhaps Sethe’s fear of the past is...

...Forces and Motion For Students of Baldwin Wallace College Spring Semester 2011 Monday – Wednesday 10:00 – 11:15 am Room 139 Wilker Faculty Richard Heckathorn The materials for this course were organized and edited by Richard Heckathorn using materials from a program called Operation Physics and includes materials developed by him. The original OPERATION PHYSICS activity sequence to improve physics teaching and learning in upper elementary and middle schools was funded by the National Science Foundation. Original Material Copyright 1992 by American Institute of Physics Materials edited and photoduplicated with permission. FORCES & MOTION INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP LEADER’S TOPIC INFORMATION INTRODUCTION TO FORCES & MOTION An understanding of force and motion is fundamental to the study of almost all other physics-related topics. Yet it is a topic often overlooked or only cursorily introduced in elementary and middle school science, even though it is a topic typically identified for inclusion in the curriculum for these grades. A primary reason for this is that many teachers do not feel comfortable about their own understanding of the topic. Consequently, this may be the most needed of all of the OPERATION PHYSICS workshops. This workshop leader’s notebook is divided into two parts: PART ONE Motion Part One begins by introducing participants to the concepts of space and time....

Young 1116 Shoal Creek Road | Burnsville | NC 28714 Property Location: 4075 Hwy 19E | Burnsville T:828.208.0006 1|P a g e COUNTER OFFER TO SUMMARY/OFFER TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY Submitted to the State of North Carolina Department of Transportation OVERVIEW Retail gasoline businesses, such this gas station and convenience store, are single-purpose economic enterprises. Because of their specialty of design, they cannot be readily converted to other types of businesses without a significant loss in value. Gas station convenience stores are special-built properties designed to make money in only one way, and they are not easily adapted to other uses. These businesses derive a significant part of their gross sales, about 50 percent, from the sale of motor fuels (National Association of Convenience Stores, 2006). The Silver Bullet recorded at one time 77% of gross sales from the sale of gasoline. This business also sold propane and kerosene (2000 UST). This site has (1) 8,000, (2) 6,000, and (1) 2000 gallon warranted (40 yrs) USTs for fuel (installed by Southern Tank & Pump, NC). stations, and canopies, which are situated on-site but separate from the building. Design features create and significantly influence the property value. For example, the fuel service is so specially-designed that if it becomes no longer profitable...

...23 April 2013 Annotated Bibliography: Moses. Kilcher, Andreas B. "The Moses of Sinai and the Moses of Egypt: Moses as Magician in Jewish Literature and Western Esotericism."Aries 4.2 (2004): 148-170. Academic Search Premier. Web. 26 Feb. 2013. Summary: In this article, they examine the identity of biblical character Moses as a magician in modernity. It also studies the effect of the identity of Moses on the history of religion; Impact of the victory of Moses over the magic of the Egyptians in rabbinical literature; Information on the portrayal of Moses by Philo of Alexandria in his book "De Vita Mosis." Evaluation: This is an important article because it contain lot of information about the Miracle Moses was able to make when he was trying to get the people out of Egypt. Investigating the question of Moses as magician in modernity might seem hardly a meaningful venture. After all, the figure of Moses was established in the period between humanism and the Enlightenment much more obviously as the founder of a de-mythologized religion, in which things like magic had just been overcome. People thought that Moses was a magician; however, he was getting his power from God. Applicability: This article is interesting, and I found it very interesting. I will use it in my term paper to demonstrate what Moses has achieved to bring the people out of Egypt and where he got his power from. I will also explain what happen near the Mount Sinai when Moses was tending sheep...

In order for us to make it, we have to comply all the requirements and one of those is to participate in educational plant tour. Educational tour(s) purpose is to expose us student in real industries, manufacturing companies wherein we learn some of their processes, system and workflows. Educational tours are one of the main ways that us students can be drawn in to experience learning first-hand rather than by sitting in a classroom. Because not all students learn the same way. Some students are able to understand how something works only by seeing a hands-on demonstration or viewing the "real thing." Educational tour gives us ideas likewise opportunities to visit different industries or manufacturing companies that may help us visualize what we are learning at school. Also in this activity helps us develop our personality since social graces and etiquette are learned too by experience.

Educational tour can inspire students to be excited more about the learning process.

...When Ghaith is in Austria just trying to sleep through the night and move on a cop had a different idea, “Ghaith and Bahaa climbed back into their sleeping. It wasn't long before Bahaa felt a baton cracking again on his shoulders.”. This displays how some people, like this police officer, have an intate disdain for refugee’s as he is beating them simply for sleeping in his city. The quote shows how the cop sees them as less than himself, and other citizens, even if they are all human. When Ghaith is on Cyprus it is not all sunshine and apricots as when he is just arriving he speaks to another cop who said, “Go back to turkey! Why did you come to our country? Why do you Muslims want to come to Europe? Christians don't like you.”. This shows how some people see refugees as selfish and a problem to be turned away and sent home. It also shows the underlying racism in this thinking as the thinks of ghaith as not a person, but a muslim, a problem. In summary, the views of refugees as a problem comes from a closed-minded viewpoint and underlying...
