...Observation of Humming Birds Observation: When taking a hike, you notice that a ruby-throated hummingbird seems interested in your red hat. It hovers over the hat and then darts away. Question: Do ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer some colors more than others when visiting flowers? INTRODUCTION: There have been a number of researches and experiments done when it comes to ruby-throated hummingbirds. The ruby-throated hummingbirds are the only hummingbirds found in Northeast United States. They have great color vision, like many birds, and can see ultraviolent spectrum, unlike humans (1996, All About Birds). PREDICTION: Ruby-throated hummingbirds do prefer some colors other than others when visiting flowers. CONTROL EXPERIMENTAL METHOD: I will conduct a control experiment with 10 ruby-throated hummingbirds, using red, yellow, orange, and purple flowers. I will observe the Hummingbirds over a period of 5 weeks. I will then take pictures of the birds 10 times a day, to see which flower they prefer. RESULTS: In this experiment, I found that the ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer the red and orange flower over any other color. They flock to the red flower, by 1% over the orange. I feel that orange is a close color to red and if the hummingbirds does not get a chance to get to the red flowers, then they will flock to the next best thing. CONCLUSION: Based on this experiment, I accept this hypothesis. I do not feel that there is a need to conduct...

...If the case between Philip Malloy and the school district was taken to court, the school district would win. That is because Philip Malloy was actually not suspended for singing, Philip was actually humming not singing, and overall Philip was being disruptive and disrespectful. Philip Malloy was not suspended for “singing. “She’s wrong. That’s all wrong. No way I’m apologizing.” (Avi 74)That shows that Philip had a chance to apologize and not get suspended, but he still didn’t apologize.“He has been suspended for two days-effective today-for causing a disturbance in Miss Narwin’s class.” (Avi 88i)That shows that Philip was suspended for creating a disturbance, not for singing.“Miss Narwin: Did you have to suspend him?” “Dr. Palleni: The rule two infractions in one week.” (Avi 90)That shows that Philip already went to the Vice Principle twice that week, both for infractions....

Though he never said a word to anyone, he would hum in a deep voice the National anthem. As he walked and passed anyone, he would just put his head down and keep humming. Never did he mess with anyone, but the neighborhood kids were so cruel to him. They would scream No face is coming, No face is coming, and gathers behind him imitating his walk. Most of the time he would ignore them, but every now and then he would stop, turnaround, lift up his hairy face and growl at the kids, rrrrrrrrrrr. And they would all start running. And if you were brave enough to look back, you could see him smile for a brief second. One day while Mr. No face was sitting on the park bench a little freckle face boy walk up to him as he sat humming the national Anthem. Mr., what is your name, the little boy said. But Mr. No face did not answer he just started humming louder. The little boy, out of curiosity, then said, why do you keep humming the same old Nation Anthem.

...Narwin and was trying to get out of her class, therefore being rude and humming (not singing) the anthem of our country and freedom, in a disrespectful manner. This only digs my holoe deeper that it wasn’t Mrs. Narwin’s doing or opinion that got him kicked out of school.“Anyway, I got this Mrs. Narwin. She’s a real b*tch….” Pg 52 Why would a ninth grader speak like that to an adult, during the 1900’s, unless he didn’t like the person, in fact despised, them.This proves that Philip does not like Mrs. Narwin at all.This next issue makes you think a little bit more. “Is someone humming?” Pg 60.This proves that Philip was humming disrespectfully during the national instead of what singing like he claimed he was doing.Philip went out of his way to make a fool of himself and annoy his class and teacher to try to get out of Mrs. Narwin’s class.“I don’t know the words.”pg 212. This proves that Philip was humming because he says he doesn’t know how to sing and “singing” without the words is called humming , which is different from singing. If he had known the words it would have been a benefit to his testimony, because he could have proven that he did know the words and was rightfully singing that he was singing the national anthem, there then proving that Mrs. Narwin was guilty of...

...The Cotton Field Tamia Denise 8B This composition will be about the daily life of a slave. From the time they wake up to the time they go to the field. The piece should last about two to three minutes long. The beats that are going to be included are clapping, stomping and humming and the beats on the cabin. The repetition will be in the beats listed above. Other viewpoints include duration and kinesthetic response. The actions will be the stomping in a single filed line and bending to reach down and get the cotton to then place it into their sacks. There will be no dialogue. This composition will require 24 people. Everything should be pretty much in unison and the mood is a sad one. Before the sun rises, all the overseers on the plantation go to each of the four cabins (there are five people in each) and in unison bang on the side of the cabin. The slaves then all get in a single file line, reach down with their left hand to put their sack onto their right side, and in unison step forward twice and then turn to the left. The line leader will then start with his left foot to begin their march. When he stomps everyone in the line follows to stomp with his or her right foot. Everyone will continue to do this in a straight line until they reach the cotton fields. From this line five people will march into each row. Before this happens, the line leader from the beginning will start a hum, and everyone else will repeat him. They continue this hum and begin to step and clap...

At last the peace of the holidays held me in its hands. It all stopped. The humming of Justin Biebers new single changed into the swacking anger birds.

...On page 46 of the text she states, “I’ll turn it down,” when Montag once again asked her to turn off the parlor. This shows that she listens to commands, and usually does as she’s told. She’s also humming constantly in the book. When you consistently do something over and over again, it’s usually grown into a routine. In this case, her constant humming causes her to seem robotic and as a routine. On page 53 Captain Beatty states, “Life becomes one big pratfall, Montag; everything bang, boff, wow!”. Relatively speaking, this quote means that life is a routine. SInce Mildred is use to humming and doing as she’s told, it’s become a routine. Doing the same things repeatedly causes you to seem like a machine or a robot who does things over and over. This is how Mildred grows to seem...

...used to help tell the narrative of the story and give the audience cues to how the action or character is related to the sound. Music or sounds help the audience associate and connect certain scenes with their implicit meaning. Wilson’s love for his daughter joined with a regret over lost time that might have, or should have been spent with her, leaves him bound to investigate and avenge her untimely death. “Tell me about Jenny”, is Wilson’s quest to find out what happened to Jenny and his quest causes the narration and action in this film. Wilson’s memories (flashbacks) of Jenny are what keeps him driven in his search for answers. The reoccurring sound motifs in this film are wind chimes, the sounds of the ocean (waves), Wilson’s humming and a unique melody of piano music. These reoccurring sound motifs aid the audience’s understanding of the film’s non chronological temporal order of the story. The film uses different sounds during flashbacks to help add or reveal new information to the viewer about Wilson’s past and the film’s scenes that occur out of the story’s chronological order. The flashbacks are used to create suspense and intrigue in the narration by gradually revealing the entire events of the story. The piano music motif is associated with Wilson’s quest for the truth about Jenny’s death. The piano music is used for different purposes throughout the film. One use of the piano music is to cue the audience that important information is being revealed usually...

...Supertramp) journey through his rediscovered life. The song focuses on materialism shaping your identity. The songs theme is strengthen by the fact that the song only is performed by Eddie Vedders humming voice and the strumming guitar. The ebb and flow of Vedder’s voice, paired with the decrescendos and crescendos of the wave-like guitar, reflected the tug of the wild on Alex’s life. The strumming guitar is similar to the cadenced pounding of the ocean, with its tides and undertows; its wild, mysterious grandeur. Chris flees society to find a peaceful place were he's not judged by his belongings, but by his personality. I think he was frustrated by the problems of the world and the greed of humans, as Eddie Vedder murmurs in the opening lines of Society, with the beautiful play on words, “we have agreed, with which we have a greed.” All humans have an instinctive greed, the desire for more; this is universal. How we control and channel this greed shapes our principles. The song has an interesting form. Building up through the verses leading to the catchy chorus. The verses all has four lines, but the chorus starts with two lines leading to four lines ending up with eight lines in the last chorus. As you'll notice the chorus is the only place in the song where's backing vocal humming society. I think it's represent some of Chris's thought at the end of the movie where he writes his last dairy entry. Happiness only real when shared. I think the lyrics and chugging guitar...
