...Each week we build on the ideas presented in prior discussions. The themes of classical mythology build and intermingle: chaos and order, beauty and ugliness, male and female, and now, light and darkness, or more specifically, gods and goddesses of the sun and moon. Apollo and Artemis are the most obvious representations of the sun and moon; however, there are numerous other gods and goddesses that have some tie to these celestial bodies. This begs the question: why are there so many different gods and goddesses associated with the sun and moon? And, moreover, what are we to make of the duplicitous nature of these gods and goddesses? As has been discussed throughout the quarter, the gods and goddesses are a projection of humankind, and like humankind, they possess duplicitous characteristics. More than anything else, the plurality of the sun and moon gods and goddesses highlights the importance of the sun and...

...compare a written and film version of the Tall Tale Pecos Bill and Sue Foot Sue. The general background information for tall tales is that the length of the story does not matter. It needs a lot of action and exaggeration in it. They were also often written in a certain dialect. A summary of the tall tale I am comparing is Pecos. Bill had a wife named Sue Foot Sue who could ride anything just as well as him. Slue wanted to ride Bill's horse and when she did, the horse bucked and she got thrown to the moon. She bounced up and down for three days and four nights, hitting her head on the moon until Bill had to shoot her to put her out of her misery. The movie version of Pecos Bill is better than the written version because it had a lot more action...

...Jesse Jacquez Com101-052 Narrative writting 09-07-13 The Beach Everyone needs a break in life. Chores, school, and work are all daily duties that people want to escape from. The beach releases me from all my responsibilities, so I try to visit the beach every summer at least once. I feel that all work and no play can be socially unhealthy. There should always be time for letup. Everyone needs to get out of work mode once in a while. My cousins enjoy the beach as much as I do, and my cousins always invite me to tag along with them. When I visit the beach, I can personally say that I always create new memories. This past summer, I only got the chance to go to the beach one time, but I still had an amazing time at the beach. The day I went to the beach was perfect. The sun was high in the sky, and the clouds provided just enough shade. The weather for the whole day was beautiful. The sand on the beach was warm to the skin. It felt as if I was walking on a bunch of pillows. As soon as I sat on the beach I completely buried my feet in the sand. The waves where flowing in because of the boat traffic in the distance. The sound of the waves were almost putting me to sleep as I laid on the shore. Many people play recordings of wave sounds to put themselves asleep at night, but the real sound of waves in person is extremely move effective. The water, the sand, and the sky was just exceptional. I could not dream up a better day. The setting of the beach was just right. The...

This will be awesome, I thought, one of the best roller coasters in the world is 30 minutes away.

...Brands are often just a famous name for a product, most of the time people are just paying for the name. The product could be a lollipop but if it’s from a known designer that lollipop is going to sell for a higher cost and people will pay because they want anything that designer has. In some cases Brand named items really do make a difference and sometimes spending that extra penny really does matter. One thing that does matter to me is a car brands. Higher quality cars ride better, perform better, and usually look better, and one brand that I am sold on is Lexus. This brand is so classic and stylish; it is a luxury brand that ranks higher than most other brands. The reason I am so passionate about Lexus is quite simple, the overall performance is what sold me. Lexus cars are very unique and comfortable, the inside of the car is simple but yet have all the modern technologies any other car has. The seats are very comfortable, and the ride quality is second to none. Driving in this car is very enjoyable and always relaxes me. I was never big on driving, in fact I would refuse to drive people would come pick me up. Now I am so comfortable driving that I don’t notice how often I am on the go. The last reason I am so passionate about this brand is because it’s a high end Toyota, everyone knows that Toyotas last forever and hold their value. In other words Lexus hold there price values over time and they will last longer than most cars on the road. Toyota and Lexus owners are happy...

...carnival rides. It shocks themselves that normal, ordinary people eagerly trade in the quietness of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like a bowling ball knocking out pins. It stuns the fans that at some time in history someone thought that people would enjoy this. That person who invented the Ferris wheel must have been a genius with this being the first of these terrifying machines. For the sake of the terrified people, the Ferris wheel ride would hope to have a very smoothly transition. The Ferris wheel ride outside of the Staten Island mall was going to be thrilling. The first experience on the carnival ride for the people that haven’t seen or rid the Ferris wheel before at a local fair was at the Staten Island mall. Staying still at the entrance, some of the kids has small hands which were held firmly by a larger hand belonging to a much more confidant mom or dad, but it will still be a first time experience for them and others. The flashing lights, the melody of circuited music and screaming had all the people gawking at anything and everything that they saw happened upon them. But what caught and kept the people attention was the Ferris wheel that seemed to torture their occupants every time ridden. People that were looking ahead at the horizon; the evil Ferris wheel ride was getting bigger and bigger every time you took a step. People waiting at the line felt swallowed from the fear deep inside of them. But unluckily the ride started out...

..."Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History" by Ben Mezrich tells the true story of a young man named Thad Roberts who masterminded the first crime ever to take place in NASA. Thad Roberts, a fellow in a prestigious NASA program had an idea—a romantic, albeit crazy, idea. He wanted to give his girlfriend the moon. Literally Thad convinced his girlfriend and another female accomplice, both NASA interns, to break into an impregnable laboratory at NASA's headquarters—past security checkpoints, an electronically-locked door with cipher security codes and camera-lined hallways—and help him steal the most precious objects in the world:the moon rocks. Mezrich has pored over thousands of pages of court records, FBI transcripts, and NASA documents, and has interviewed most of the participants in the crime to reconstruct the madcap story of genius, love, and duplicity all centered around an Ocean’s Eleven style heist that reads like a Hollywood thrill-ride. Mezrich uses his trademark narrative non-fiction style to tell the story, which basically means it reads like fiction. While his stories are extensively researched and are factual (though perhaps biased in some cases), the books are written in such a way that they are very engaging and easy to read. Sex on the Moon went by much more quickly than an average work of non-fiction; it was fascinating and the pages flew by. Thad Roberts is portrayed as a lost and wandering soul who finally found...
