...eeper The book I am writing my report on is the Dragon Keeper by Carole Wilkinson. I picked this book because it looks interesting and it’s an adventure book. I love reading adventure books because it feels like I am a part of the adventure. Also the book takes place in China, I like reading books about my culture. This book takes place in a far Western mountain called Huangling Mountain on the edge of the Han Empire in ancient China. A young slave girl with no name lives in one of the Emperor’s palace, looking after the animals and her cruel master. Her parents sold her to Master Lan, an imperial dragon keeper, at a young age. Along the way, the nameless girl found a mouse that she kept for a pet to keep her company. She named the moose Hua. At first Master Lan would do all the work that he was assigned to do, but after a while he started to complain that he is getting older and made the nameless girl do all the work like cooking, feeding the animals including the dragons and etc. The slave was afraid to take care of Master Lan two dragons that lives in a pit, but she puts aside her fears and feeds the dragon every day. But one day the one of the dragons die. The girl felt guilty because the day she had eaten a bowl a fresh food it was meant for the dragons. She made sure to keep the other dragon alive. The girl was afraid when Master Lan decides to get rid of the dead dragon by pickling it. She knows that if you pickling the imperial dragon would mean death if the...

... He is my favorite character because I understand his personality inside he is a caring and amazing person but on the outside, he comes out as violent and impetuous. His persona reminds me of another one of my beloved TV personalities, Niklaus Mikaelson. Klaus and Tobias are both considered damaged but most people don't see the depth in them which makes them a great connection. Lastly, the plot of Allegiant is a complicated story that involves betrayal, conspiracies, war, and most of all figuring out whose side you're on. Tris and her friends are tasked to find out the truth about their world but every time that they get even remotely close someone has lied to them or disaster strikes. In my opinion, the characters in this book lead a dangerous life but don't we all. Frankly, the plot of Allegiant reminds me of everyday life. Every single day a war continues, or somebody goes through something so devastating and somehow they have the courage to move on. In the story, one of Tris's friends suffer serious injuries and die which could easily be connected to everyday life. Sadly the reality of life is that 151,600 people die each day. So the most the plot of Allegiant reminds me of is day-to-day life and personal experience. Creativity Box Tris and Tobias Tris is a brave leader certainly Regardless of anything she always values others In her life, she faced many challenges, but She always seem to have perseverance And one of the most lovable things about her is that No matter what...

...eception Theory and Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) Of all the literary critical theories yet discussed, I find reception theory by far the most intelligent and rewarding. After all, where does literature become literature, where does it "happen" so to speak, if not in the mind of the reader? Without the reader, literature is inky blobs on paper. This correlates to Berkeley's solipsistic analogy of a tree falling in the woods. Without a listener does it make a sound? Well, technically, it emanates vibrations, but only an ear will interpret those vibrations as sound. Thus with literature. The mind of the reader, operating on the text with it's various literary and extra-textual codes, makes it literature. In the case of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, reception theory is not only helpful, it is positively essential to any sort of literary discussion of the novel. Considerations of authorial intent are clearly to no avail, in that, due to the epistolary format, no such intent can be gleaned from the text. Try as we might to construct some sort of original meaning in the mind of the author, we find at last that the meanings we come up with have been supplied by ourselves. Laclos is like the hand of the puppeteer: we never see it, although we know that it is controlling the whole show. All we see are the ornate, 18th century marionettes as they dance through each dastardly deception, each "dangerous liaison." Even more maddening than trying to find authorial intent...

...LAB RESEARCH 1 PROCEDURES IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE EBONI G JOE 5/4/14 SCI 110 PROFESSOR A 1) Astronomy is the branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space and the physical universe in whole. Three specific challenges to making direct measurements in the fields of astronomy are: How to calculate how far away the stars are from the earth? How hot does the sun get? And how could we tell that there is life on Mars? The way that scientist have utilized indirect forms of measure to overcome these challenges are. To measure how far the stars are away from earth astronomers measures the distances to the close –by object. Then use the measurements observations to measure the other distance in the galaxies. This is a difficult because scientist cannot really make the correct measurements, its’ just a guess. Scientist can make direct measurements by using the Parallax to determine the distance of the stars, which can also guess the position of the plants. For the measurement of how hot the sun can get NASA scientists have not been able to get close enough to the sun to actually determine how hot the sun is. Scientist estimate the temperature of the sun by how much radiation that comes from the ball of gas, the gamma-rays and also the X-rays from the sun are measured to be very hot according to www.imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov. The scientist uses a formula to measure the volume, density of the sun and the radius helps determine how hot the sun maybe. Scientist cannot get close...

...To be born a woman can be a serious hazard for your health. Depending on her place of birth a woman will likely face adverse health effects in numbers far higher than her male counterparts. In many nations women face a numerous amount of barriers to health. Poverty has well documented effects on health outcomes and over 70 percent of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty are women. When women are malnourished it creates a vicious cycle from her being unhealthy to her child being unhealthy and this continues as she has more children or her children have children. If a woman lives in a low income country that has an undeveloped health care system she may lack the access she needs to proper care as well. Women also often suffer a lack of independence that keeps them from being able to make their own health decisions even if they understand what needs to be done for their health. They often lack the control to make decisions when it comes to their sexual life. Often a woman’s legal status leaves her unable to take ownership of land or to divorce an abusive husband or to have control over who she marries. This lack of status contributes to the high poverty rates faced by women. Violence against women is a major cause of long term physical, mental and sexual health problems for women. To be born a woman, especially in a developing nation, increases the risk of a less healthy life. Women on average live longer lives than men, but across the board are living less healthy lives than...

...been written in 2007. The text is about a young woman who becomes pregnant. I want to give an analyze of the story and I will try to give you an characterization of this pregnant woman and then I will tell you about the special bench and try to find out why it is so special. The woman in this text is also the narrator of the story, so through the story we get to know this pregnant woman better and hear her feelings. The narrator of the story doesn’t count so much on herself, because she got pregnant with some guy called Damien. She doesn’t think that she has achieved much in her life and all her teenage dreams about art school in Paris will never happen. The woman had met Damien when she was playing pool and he asked her if she had a cigarette. They ended up having sex and the woman became pregnant with a random guy, who doesn’t want to have kids or anything to do with the child they are waiting. “We hadn’t spoken much, so I couldn’t have known he didn’t want kids”. After the episode she was called a lot of abuse, such as whore and trashy, and it doesn’t help your self-confidence, so the woman don’t think she can achieve so much in her life. “Smoking may be dangerous in pregnancy” the old woman said. The old woman was sitting on the same bench as the narrator and she answered impolite that it was a ‘fucking’ cigarette that got her into the mess with the pregnancy, because Damien asked after a cigarette. She is rude to the old woman, because she is sitting on ‘her’ bench. It is...

...statistically unusual, (McLeod, Saul (2014) “Abnormal Psychology”). Recently, I was walking in downtown Atlanta and there was a woman who popped out of this walkway, which startled us. Unfortunately, she caused us extreme discomfort since she was screaming at a person (which we didn’t see) and started to come near us but crossed the street eventually to grab something off the ground to come back to where she was at but we were further down the street. The element that can be used to describe the woman is danger which is behavior that can become dangerous to others or oneself by a lack of functioning that is caused by hostility or carelessness that can jeopardize their well being and others as well. Moreover, her behavior would be considered abnormal to me in culture since it disregards the rights of others and can be very disruptive to others. Overall, a limitation could be that it’s functional or adaptive for the individual in their everyday life. Another example of abnormal behavior that has been in the news is Bruce Jenner transitioning to Caitlyn Jenner. Basically, Bruce Jenner didn’t feel that he was meant to be a man anymore and used to try on women’s clothing throughout his life. Once divorced from his wife, he decided to pursue with his deepest desire: to become a woman. Soon, he altered his face and body to appear like a woman and started dressing like a woman. This example would be described as deviance since it differs from society’s acceptable behavior or certain standards...

...Tyler Dawson EST 393 4-30-15 Respirator Safety Millions of workers are required to wear respirators in a large number of workplaces throughout the United States. Respirators are used to protect workers that are associated with everyday jobs that may involve gases, vapors, insufficient oxygen environments and harmful dust. These types of hazards can cause serious harm to a workers health. Failure to follow the correct guidelines when working with harmful hazards that were listed above may cause serious harm which includes cancer, lung impairment, diseases or could result in death. OSHA has specific guidelines you must follow when working with hazardous material. They require that the employer provides the employee with a certain type of respirator depending on the type of work the employee may be doing. There are many types of respirators but the two main types are the air-purifying respirators which use filters, cartridges, or canisters to remove contaminants from the air you breathe. Another is atmosphere-supplying respirators, which provide you with clean air from an uncontaminated source. They also can be classified as tight or loose fitting. The Tight-fitting respirators need a tight seal between the respirator and the face and neck of the respirator user in order to work properly. If the respirator's seal leaks contaminated air will be pulled into the face piece and can be breathed in. Loose-fitting respirators do not depend on a tight seal with the face to provide protection...

...examples of this by explaining how society expected women to act as a wife. Through her poems, Emily Dickinson portrayed her views of conformity through the explanation of domesticated housewives in “She Rose to His Requirement” and the views of conflicting new ideas in society in “Much Madness is Divinest Sense.” “She Rose to His Requirement” explores what women during Emily Dickinson’s time had gone through. As the title suggests, women were expected to become a domesticated housewife to their husband. The first stanza describes that these housewives have to give up everything for the husband, “to take the honorable Work / Of Woman, and of Wife“(line 3-4). The “honorable work” Dickinson writes about is that women were relied upon to be in charge of the house. The ironic tone sets up the following stanza. It talks about everything a woman gives up when she becomes a wife. The wife loses things, “Of Amplitude, or Awe – / Or first Prospective – Or the Gold” (6-7). She loses her potential of becoming a great person when she decides to marry. She is also not given the chance to experience new things or even get a job for herself. The last stanza expresses the wasted potential of the wife. Dickinson compares a wife’s potential to a pearl that, “lay unmentioned… But only to Himself” (9, 11). The wife is hidden like a pearl and that only the husband sees the greatness his wife is able to achieve. Although being a wife is a noble job, Dickinson has seen too many women waste their...

...BLAW Women in the Infantry Today, one of the biggest debates over women’s rights is the one over females being in the infantry. The world is changing and with that comes a lot more responsibility for policy makers, and there is a great debate over women being on the front lines. Women have been in the Military for quite some time, but not in a front line type of role. I can see both sides of the argument; the one that wants people to broaden their views and accept women in the infantry, and the other side that sees at as more of a male type of position. There are many pros and cons to the Military allowing women in combat positions, and I believe that while women should be allowed to have a chance in the infantry, the standards need to be the same whether it is a male or female. When the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta removed the barriers of women being in the infantry it opened up 237,000 jobs to women. Around 53,000 positions are closed to women by units, such as Brigade Combat Teams in the Army. Panetta said that “if members of the military meet the qualifications for the job- not reduced qualifications- then they should have the right to serve.” The same argument can be made for having gays in the military. I don’t believe that they should be excluded, but I do believe they should have to keep their personal life to themselves. I agree with Panetta’s statement saying that if they are qualified then women should be able to serve. And the Secretary of Defense also stated...

...Women’s sexuality is dangerous because it can lead men astray or can influence them to pursue self-destructive acts. This idea is evident in William Butler Yeats’s poem, “The Tower”. The power of women’s sexuality is shown through the association of light and women’s beauty and the effect of light can have on the sight of people, while the sublime functions to note the overbearing dread caused by women. Yeats describes a “peasant girl” whose beauty is well-known in the area and has inspired men to go looking for her; these men have “declared it right” to have “sight” of the woman, where the rhyme functions to link right with sight. The word “right” carries an implication of morality and justice; therefore, through the rhyme scheme, having...
