...father gives the family the news that they will be moving to home in the country; he had received new job orders. During this particular scene I got the sense of uneasiness from the mother, as if she knew something was not right, but not enough for her to object to the move. As they were settling into their new home, Bruno notices a ‘farm’ in the distance behind their home, he then notices the farmers and children wearing striped pajamas. Bruno is a curious boy, as most boys his age are. He then proceeds to question his parents about them. Bruno didn’t get any answers so he wanted to find out for himself, which led him to explore his surroundings. As Bruno gets closer to the ‘farm’ he notices a boy about his age on the other side of the barbed wire, he is wearing striped pajamas. Bruno asks the boy why he has numbers on his pajamas, and then asked if it was a number game. This clearly shows how innocent...

...site so the perimeter is not permanent. The very first thing that needs to be done to make sure that the perimeter is secured is to make sure that there is a fence up around the construction site. The fence will only be put up around the new lot and not around the old lot. The fence will serve multiple purposes while it is up. The first purpose will be for somewhat of a basic access control access into the construction area. If the fence was put up around both of the areas then it would be harder to control some of the access. Along with access control it will also help with safety issues that could possibly come up from people wondering into the construction area. To help prevent people from scaling the fence three lines of common barbed wire will set on top. The main purpose of the fence will be to help with making sure that people do not try to enter the area and steal building materials, tools, or just vandalize the property. There will need to be a gate that is a part of the fence to make sure that vehicles and personal are able to get into the area when needed. This gate will be secured by lock and key to ensure. The key will only be given to people that are need of having it such as the construction supervisor and also the building supervisor. This will limit the amount of people that can come and go as they please which will cut down on the possibility of someone getting the key and going in during the middle of the night. The next step of perimeter protection...

...A reflective essay is a piece of writing that basically involves your views and feelings about a particular subject. The goal of a reflective essay is to not only discuss what you learned, but to convey the personal experiences and findings that resulted. Writing a reflective essay is your chance to reveal and talk about your personal insight about a topic. Reflective essays are used as a self-assessment measure of sorts; they allow you to address your experiences and what you've gained. The reflective essay consists of your individual views on the matter and an explanation of your stance. The goal of this essay is to successfully relay your own beliefs, attitudes and observations. In some reflective essays, you'll be required to support your conclusions by citing materials such as books, journals, articles and other resources. A reflective essay should reflect your own thoughts on the subject matter, not those of others. The poem by Langston Hughes, “Theme for English B”, brought back memories of myself growing up during the times where it was truly a white only and black only world. It was not college that I had to endure the color barriers but it was going to elementary through high school. I went to an all black school until I entered high school. The plot seems to take on a very structured, by providing detailed background information. The plot is clearly connected to the setting as Hughes states “I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem. I went to school there...

...lying hundreds of feet below the ground, enough oil to supply the nation for one year (Nightline, 2004). The implications of such a project has the potential to throw the ecosystem into a downward spiral. There are already thousands of drilling rigs, numbering 5,200 in an area crossing five states. The government wants to expand this number to about 10,000. What are the ethical issues of such a project? Encroaching industrial civilization poses a migratory issue for the wildlife. Roads will be built that the animals have to cross, fences made of barbed wire are springing up everywhere, drilling run-off is polluting the rivers, streams, and lakes that harbor a big trout population. The barbed wire fences alone causes much grief for the animals. The wildlife has to choose to jump over the or crawl under the fence. Either way can cause great bodily harm to the animal and in some cases death, if the animal gets snagged on the barbed wire. Aside from the obvious physical obstacles the animals must overcome, are the ecosystem obstacles, water pollution and depleted land. The run-off from the drilling rigs will find its way into the rivers, lakes, and streams, which are home to many species of aquatic life, including Trout. These water formations are also a source of drinking water for the many species...

...even. This morning at 08:00 hours we stormed the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, situated in Northern Poland. The German Schutzstaffel (SS), some of the most feared, ruthless and cold blooded killers in the German military on guard were simply overwhelmed by the surge. This was just like a normal day for us, until we entered the camp. Nothing had prepared us for the sights and the things we were about to experience. Standing on the mushy, boggy, soaking wet, muddy ground, I looked around me, the commotion had settled down and for the first time I realised the sheer size of the camp. It was bordered by a double layered barb wire fence, blood stained pieces of torn cotton (from the inmates striped pyjamas) that were attached to the barbed wire fluttered gently in the ice cold winter breeze. The intimidating guard towers stood tall and strong as if watching over the camp, then the large, thin wooden cabins drew my attention. I advanced to the thick door at the side of the first cabin, and after a swift blow to the lock with the butt of my rifle, it swung open. Immediately I was almost taken off my feet by the smell that greeted me. It was like I’d been punched in the face by this repulsive gust of air. I instantly recognised some of the smells, like the overwhelming stench of sweat, and the rotting remains of rodents. The only light was...

...without worrying whether they will judge you or tell other people about you. You should be able to trust a friend, particularly when you are in need of someone to share your problems with. In “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas” by John Boyne, Bruno, the main character is in need of a good friend. He is unhappy, having been forced to move away from his home in Berlin and ‘his three best friends for life’ because his father has a new job. Bruno, his mother and sister accompany the new commandant to the new house at “Out-With,” as Bruno calls it. This new house is small, dark, and strange. Bruno spends long days gazing out the window of his new bedroom, where he notices people dressed in striped pyjamas and rows of barracks surrounded by a barbed wire fence. With nobody except his sister ‘The Hopeless Case’ to talk to, bored and lonely, and not really understanding the circumstance of his new existence, Bruno sets out to explore the area, despite being forbidden to do so by his parents. He discovers Shmuel, a very thin Jewish boy who lives on the other side of the fence and an unlikely friendship between the two boys is formed. Over the next few months the two children swap life stories through the wire fence. Shmuel explains how he and his family have been transported here from a ghetto in Poland. Unable to comprehend the gravity of Shmuel’s situation, Bruno is simply content to have found a playmate. In particular he finds it amazing that they are the same age and born on exactly...

... It had been three weeks since I completed my first run for Jimmy Meatball and since then; I had completed three more. At a run per week, I could see that Jimmy was moving an awful lot of flesh. The underground value of what I was picking up, I would say would have to be in the area of 200K per week. He didn’t have the same supplier all the time, either. I had made runs into Minnesota, Wisconsin, and even Illinois as I picked up the product for him and it was a funeral home I visited each time. June wasn’t happy about what I was doing with her car, but after she demanded I spill the beans about what was going on, she reluctantly complied. She even helped to come up with ways of fooling my parents as to why I was missing from the house for a spell. I hadn’t seen or heard from Anna in all that time, which left me a little unsettled. I worried about where she was and whether the surgery she’d said the Alliance had set up for her arm went well. I also worried whether that scum bag Jimmy had kept his word about leaving her alone. But there was nothing I could do about any of that for the time being. I needed to focus on the task at hand and get these runs done so she wouldn’t be under his thumb any more. I did see Agent Swan, though, over these past few weeks, twice actually. Her visits seemed to be becoming more and more frequent. Did she suspect something? I was sure of it, but I couldn’t worry about that for the time being either. I could only try to be as...

...“I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps.”Would you want to live your life behind barbed wire just because of your race? Between 110,000 and 120,000 Japanese lived in internment camps just because of their race. Now some people think that the US did the right thing by taking innocent people from the homes and locking them up behind barbed wire. Others think that it was wrong because they didn't lock up germans or Italians for their race. The US made internment camps because they were scared that Japanese Americans would attack the US after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Japanese Americans were forced to leave their houses, shops, farms and fishing boats and taken to internment camps. In the internment...

...On page 9 of Rose Blanche, the text states that “Suddenly electric barbed wire stopped me. Behind it were some children standing still.” These children had very pale faces and looked hungry. They were behind a high barbed wire fence with black and white striped coats that went down their legs. Why would these people be wearing striped clothing behind barbed wire? First of all, the people behind this fence are very hungry. On page 9 it says “The youngest said that they were hungry”. We can infer that this was the time period of the holocaust because of all the natzi flags. Rose Blanche on page 2 is holding a natzi flag which can show she is in the natzi party. People all along the streets are holding flags as all the trucks are going by filled...

...these inventions that were used to improve the every-day life, there were also many others that were used in the World War I. To this group belong machine guns, barbed wire, tanks, dreadnoughts, submarines or mines. The usage of the technology had a big impact on the proceedings and the result of the World War I, because they virtually represented the power of each side participating in the conflict, influenced the morals of both soldiers and civilians and, what is vital, played a big role in the most important events of the War such as the creation and the breach of the stalemate on the West, the naval warfare, or Gallipoli campaign. Machine guns and barbed wire were very important for the course of the War due to the fact that they were part and parcel of the trenches, which were the direct cause of the failure of the Schlieffen Plan. The trenches formed a line from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier with France. That closed the door on free proceedings on the Western front, because barbed wire and machine guns enabled very effective defense, whilst the capturing of the trench was virtually impossible. The attackers had serious troubles with passing both the no-man’s land and the barbed wire. The defenders could easily kill all of them with machine guns. The best example of the trench warfare and the usage of barbed wire and machine guns is the battle of Somme in 1916. Even though general Haig used the...

Perez Art Museum have a goal to improve life for visitors and residents of Miami Dade County by showing some of the most progressive visual arts of our time. Exhibition that draw most of my attention was Poetics of Relation that was available from May 29th until October 18th this year. This exhibition was inspired by the writings of philosopher and author Edouard Glisant. This exhibition and Miami share similar histories by its diasporic communities and many migrations that occurred in this area. Poetics of Relation exhibition includes six artists: Hurvin Anderson, Xaviera Simmons, Yto Barrada, Zarina Bhimji, Tony Capellan and my favorite Ledelle Moe. Poetics of Relation represent work of artists who engaged themselves with a historical legacy of trauma triggered by migration and colonialism. This exhibition really touch my hearth since I have personally experience difficulties that migrating from one place to another is bringing to individual or groups. This was mainly the reason why I chosen this specific exhibition. The first touch with Poetics of Relation was Tony Capelan’s Mar Caribe that shows author surroundings...

...Barbwire made it difficult to get across “No Man's Land” it slowed the soldiers down and it also defended the trenches, barbed wire was laid out all across no man’s land in zigzagging strips and running parallel to the trenches. Most of the times when the soldiers found an easy path to crawl through the barbwire it was a plan set up by the opposing side leading the other soldiers into the kill zone. Barbwire slowed the soldiers down because the soldiers would try to discover an easy path to crawl through making them more vulnerable and likely to get shot at, the barbed wire was laid out to get soldiers into an arranged maching gun kill zone, also they would lay out barbed wire just above the knee so the soldiers would get ensnared in the barbed wire making them uncomplicated to...

...emphasis to it. Then they become fully evolved into abnormal animals and are separated by a barbed wire fence. For instance, the cow is box shaped with large udders these exaggerated effects helps the viewer understand the reasoning behind it, which is to have them bigger in order to meet the world's growing demand for meat and dairy. On the other hand, the pig has several rolls that are hanging so close to the ground which shows that it’s overweight, and has three human organs painted on its side. The three organs include a heart, lungs, and a liver. This effect was used to show the viewers how we modified pigs to have similar organs to humans in order to have successful transplants. The artist used the exaggerated effects to educate the viewers about the harmful use of animals for mankind's desire. The artist purposely organized the objects in the painting to bring emphasis to the evolution of animals. The viewer's attention is automatically brought to giant bright blue ribbon that has a chinese hairless dog on it, which is showing that this particular dog is winner of the most prestigious dog show. Humans have modified dogs over time to be highly intellectual, pretty, and easy to take care of. The placement of the ribbon (on the barbed wire fence)was used to attract the viewers and have them realize their peculiar taste in dog breeds as well as what they define as “pretty”. The barbed wire fence is purposely placed between the fully evolved cow and pig to demonstrate how...
