...In our presentation we are going to discuss Citing Periodical Print Publication (Magazine). But before we start we need to know what is periodical, which things can be called periodicals and what do we understand by magazine. Periodical: A publication issued at regular intervals, usually monthly or weekly. * Daily Newspapers * Monthly Magazines * Bi-Monthly (Two Months) * Quarterly (Every three months) * Semi-Annual (Every Six months) Magazine: Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. Example: McEvoy, Dermot. “Little Books, Big Success.” Publishers Weekly 30 Oct. 2006: 26-28 Print. Citing an article in a magazine using MLA: To cite a magazine published every week or every two weeks, we have to give the full date followed by a colon, the inclusive page numbers of the article and the medium of publication consulted. If the article is not printed on consecutive pages, we have to write only the first page number with a plus (+) sign, leaving no intervening space. We...

...Our Great Adventure Jeanna Zentgraf DeVry University, ENGL 112 Professor Hale March 6, 2011 Our Great Adventure When some friends of ours offered us a piece of property in Tennessee, we jumped at the prospect of moving to the mountains. For us, moving to the Tennessee Mountains was to be a great adventure for my family, but with all of the problems that we would encounter; it turned out to be something that we wanted to forget. We were moving to the mountains to start a family adventure. We were looking forward to being able to see the seasons change with the vivid fall colors and seeing snow for the first time. My son was thrilled about living in the woods and being able to see the wildlife, such as deer, come into our backyard. We just knew we were going to enjoy living in a small town where everyone knows everyone. The town was so small, that it only had 600 residents. This was going to be a new experience to build our new home ourselves, with the help of a contractor. Right from the very beginning we started having problems; we couldn’t seem to get anyone who wanted to work with us. There were so many things to have done that we didn’t even know where to start first. We had to have the land cleared, have a septic system installed, to build a 20 x 20 metal garage and have a well dug. By now with the weather getting colder our tiny camper wasn’t sufficient for the winter, so we decided to order a manufactured home. Since it was starting to get cold...

...The Four Seasons Many people wonder why we have the four seasons. These four seasons are winter, summer, spring, and fall. These seasons let us know things like what to wear, things to eat and places to go. Some people just think that's the way the world is; winter is supposed to snow and be cold and in summer is supposed to be hot. There are many misconceptions of the seasons but I will explain what happens. Many factors change due to the tilt of the Earth, whether it is at the normal 23.5 degrees, at 45 degrees or at no tilt at all. The tilt of the Earth has a major effect on the seasons around the world and the amount of daylight that each particular geographic location receives. Seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis. As the Earth revolves around the sun once a year, the direction of the rotational axis stays nearly fixed in space. So, when the Earth is at a certain place in its orbit, the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and experiences summer where the Southern hemisphere experiences winter. Then six months later the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and experiences winter and the Southern summer. Perigee and Apogee somewhat help determine our seasons as well. Perigee means in Latin-Greek, "Closest to the Earth" and refers to a position in an orbit. Apogee means "Farthest from the Earth “Another answer According to the Free Dictionary by Farlex, "The point in any orbit nearest to the body being orbited." Summer, winter, autumn...

...the Oil Producing and Exporting Countries (OPEC) as they determine how much oil to produce and sell to other countries. The more crude oil OPEC chooses to produce and release, the lower the price. With an increase in worldwide demand for oil, including unexpected demand growth in China, India, and other fast developing nations. These nations have experienced a tremendous growth in the number of citizens who have access to automobiles, and their billion-person populations have a strong impact on the amount of crude oil needed in those parts of the world. Seasonal changes can have a serious impact on gas prices as well. Gas prices increase greatly during the summer and holiday seasons because American’s travel increases during these times. For example, the American gas demand increases by 5% in the summer season, resulting in higher gas prices during these times. The decline in the value of the U.S. dollar which is the currency in which oil is traded in the world market is also responsible for fluctuations of gas prices. The United States is the biggest oil consumer in the world with about 53% of its crude oil imported from other countries. The political, Economic, and or social crises in other countries providers of crude oil do also impact our oil supply which undeniably reflects in the prices we...

...“Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.” This is one of my favorite quotes that were spoken by Henry David Thoreau. When the seasons alter from winter to spring or summer to autumn there are many changes that the world seems like a happier place. The two seasons that seems to stand out the most are autumn and spring. Although there is exquisite beauty in the seasons of autumn and spring, there are also distinctions, which allow each season to stand on its own. One of the first notable differences between them is the weather change. When spring arrives, the temperature rises and the days get longer. There are mass amounts of colorful flowers with beautiful smells that make everyone’s days a little brighter. The grass turns green and the flowers begin to blossom. One of my favorite spring memories is when I was eight years old and I loved gardening with my mother. We have a garden in our back yard that we call the “love garden” because it was shaped like a heart. We would put certain flowers in places to make a pattern. When you looked down from my deck, it doesn’t just look like colorful flowers, it appears to be like a mosaic picture. Spring is also known to accumulate a great amount of rain. Windshield wipers are on full blast so drivers can see. Children are constantly jumping and splashing in the puddles like a cat playing with a ball of yarn. I always like watching all of the birds...

...9 August 2010 A Season of Changes In “To Autumn” by John Keats, the narrator uses visual imagery and personification to emphasize autumn’s progression towards winter. By using visual imagery, the narrator captures the season of autumn not only as a time of maturity, abundance, and warmth, but also as a time of death and dying, the cold desolation that becomes winter. The narrator personifies autumn as a woman, allowing the grace and beauty of the season to emanate from the words on the page. Autumn is a season that delights the senses with all of its colorful grandeur, yet autumn is also a season of gray, melancholy days that beg for quiet reflection as winter’s decay invades its existence. Autumn’s passing is gracefully mourned with the knowledge she will return to delight us again the following year. The first stanza uses visual imagery to appeal to the senses of sight and taste. The “seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness” (1) captures the atmosphere of autumn in England. Autumn is a time for the cool fog that often permeates the morning dew as the sun rises. The richly colored leaves of yellow, orange, and red and the cornucopia of the harvest symbolize the maturation of autumn. An abundance of apples on “mossed cottage-trees” (5), “fruit with ripeness to the core” (6), and “plump...hazel shells” (7) tempt the taste buds with an array of succulence that cannot compare to any other season. Autumn is a time to savor the colors, the crisp morning air, and...

...Feeling of Death Robert Frost’s poem, “After Apple Picking,” published in Frost’s second collection of poems in 1915, describes the end of a long day of apple picking. The speaker begins by saying that his ladder is still pointing toward heaven, which conveys a sense of the afterlife. He goes on to describe one barrel of apples that was not filled, which could be a metaphor describing his fulfillment in life. When he is done apple picking, the speaker describes the change from fall to winter. He describes his feeling of sleepiness that is associated with the winter. This seasonal change and the deep sleep that the speaker is about to enter may represent the transition from life to death. In the beginning of the poem, the speaker is giving up on apple picking, but there is definitely a sense that this has a larger meaning: And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill Beside it, and there may be two or three Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough. But I am done with apple picking now. Essence of the winter sleep is on the night. (lines 3-7) Before this quotation, the speaker notices that his ladder is pointed toward heaven. After he notices that, he expresses that he is giving up on apple picking. In this passage, the speaker conveys a feeling that he wishes he had picked more apples. He has to give up because of the impending winter sleep. The entire passage might be about giving up on life. The barrel he did not fill and the few apples he did not pick may represent some...

...The sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare is about the transitoriness of life and love. The sonnet consists of three quatrains and one couplet at the end. Shakespeare makes use of the lyrical I to express the content and the feeling which are connected to this subject. In the three quatrains there are three prevailing images. In the first one it is the change of seasons, passing times of the days in the second one and in the last quatrain it is the development from fire to ashes. In the first quatrain there are symbols which refer to the change of seasons. "When yellow leaves, ¦.. (l.2) for example symbolizes autumn, "cold and the "bare ruined choirs (l.3/4) refer to winter and " ¦where late the sweet birds sang (l.4) stands for spring and summer. In the second quatrain "sunset (l.6) refers to evening and "death ´s second self (l.8) stands for night. In the last quatrain "glowing (l.9), "fire (l.9) and "ashes (l.10) are part of the prevailing image: a fire which is dying down. Spring/summer, morning/noon and the fire symbolize youth. You are still active, strong and your soul is carefree and not burdened by many memories of things you have lost in your life. Autumn, evening and the glowing of fire refer to becoming/being old. You lose your beauty and your passion, you are not that active anymore and you have a lot of hurting memories of beloved things and persons you have lost. Winter, night and the ashes refer to death. Life is over now and...

...SUMMER VS. WINTER Summer and Winter are two favorable seasons. The better of the two isn’t a hard decision. My favorite season is Summer and here are a few reasons why. Both Summer and Winter have a variety of things different and in common. Summer makes people happy, there are a lot of activities such as volleyball, swimming in the ocean and of course surfing which is my favorite. And just the warm weather makes me happy. Winter on the other hand is a dark and cold season that has a depressing vibe to many. People are less likely to go outdoors because it is so cold. Summer is a cheery time when people go outdoors and enjoy a lot more activities, it seems to brighten moods including mine. Most people look forward to Summer for this reason. In conclusion as both seasons do have things very different and a few in common, the happiest people in life make the most of what they are given and what they have. Youth offenders tried as adults This topic of how youth offenders are tried as adults is a controversial one. Many have different opionions on this topic. For example a youth under the age of 18 murders another person. They would then go to Juvenile hall, once they are released, have they really learned how to cope in society and not do something so horrendous. They could have a higher chance of repeating the crime because the didn’t have the proper punishment or time served. As opposed to a person over the age of 18 who commits the same crime...

...Spring should be a time of growth and warmth, but last spring it felt like everything I ever cared about came to a crashing halt. In March the air smelled of hopes and dreams, but I had none. I stopped believing everything that used to inspire me. I started questioning myself. I became my own problem; my biggest hindrance in getting myself to where I have always wanted to be. One day I went to PetSmart to look at the fish. I wandered aimlessly until I stopped in front of the tank of 20 cent comet goldfishes. Among the animated goldfishes there was one just floating on its side, clearly dead. But every now and then the wave of water from the pump going into the tank would lift the dead fish and make it “swim”, as if it was still alive. I thought about the fish and I thought about myself. The fish carried on swimming without actually living, just like how I carried on doing without actually believing. I could have continued that way, but I wanted to invest this short life I have in something I believe in. I had to find my meaning. I tried to make myself a math experiment, collecting my own data to see if I could extrapolate my own meaning. I compared what I liked with what I did and want to do, but in the end it made me even more confused about what truly drives me forward. Then, I turned away from science, I’m not an equation I can solve scientifically. I turned to art. I hadn’t picked up watercolours for years, but that spring I did. I painted a comet goldfish. It was swimming...

...Winter is the most beautiful time of the year for the people of Matfus Mountain. They look forward to it because of the Christmas holiday. Even Mayor Matfus, an extremely likable (adj) woman, esteems(Unit 2) it a privilege to be the leader of a small town where the people are usually friendly(adj) and caring(adj). One winter night on Matfus Mountain, Kyan, a hostile resident, was thinking (v) of doing some obnoxious acts to defy the townspeople of Matfus Mountain, which could change their lives in a negative way. It was the first Monday in December. However, it was no ordinary Monday. The streets were quiet, as if no one lived there. This was because everybody was setting up their holiday lights and drinking(v) hot chocolate inside their homes. Every single shop in the town of Matfus Mountain was closed. It wasn’t an official holiday, but they just wanted (v) to please their mayor, and divulge their love for her. They knew Christmas was her favorite holiday of the year because she loved (v) the joy everyone showed to each other. She also loved seeing the decorative lights the citizens put up on their houses and businesses. For the past ten years, the length of time Mayor Matfus has been mayor, the residents have treated the first Monday in December as an implicit holiday. Over the next eight hours, Matfus Mountain became deluged(Unit 2)with holiday cheer. The mayor was proud of everyone as she drove around town seeing what people were doing to her town. As the mayor drove (v)...

...Summer hangs, and summer lulls. Lay in the park, smoke in the dark, as the song goes. Its lush grass and leaves and flowers and cushioning warmth brings with it particular sluggishness, a wading. The days are slower, the sun is hotter, and the air is thick and saccharine like molasses, slowing down the traffic of our thoughts and of our discourse. The season’s circular shoegaze marks for us a lens of the mind with which we are familiar; in our youth and not, between chores and shifts, our minds hang, freely detaching themselves from the surrounding world as they see fit. In our off hours, we wake up, we stroll about. We go for a light lunch before coming back to the raggedy armchair on our porches to get back to finishing House of Leaves or knocking back a few gin and tonics before a friend swings by and offers his or her company, to which we either begrudgingly accept or politely brush off. Our minds are freer, and we are not gridlocked by the cold or the end-of-the-year festivities; we are more genuine. The romantic poets knew that this genuineness emerged from within us in certain setting more vividly than others, and sought to pursue this genuineness in their work, rejecting the architecture of reason. That is, that which was created by humans from the stilted and the grey and the stone cold logical. John Keats best embraced this, reverberating the attitudes of the poetry William Wordsworth left in his wake, but also emphasizing beauty and the sublime as good through sensual...

...Nico deveber Professor Gabrielle Houle DRST 2617 10 October 2014 Springtime by María Irene Fornés is a play that follows the lives of Rainbow and Greta, two lovers living in a small city in 1958. Springtime brings up many issues on love, power, and desperation; especially in regards to poverty and sexism. Through a close reading of the text, it will become clear that this play requires its audience to understand how poverty and sexism intersect in regards to oppression and privilege in society. Poverty is a clear topic in Springtime, it is first presented in the second scene wherein Greta is ill, and Rainbow is forced to steal in order to afford her treatments: “I must do it. You’re ill and we must take care of you.” (83). In this scene Greta begs Rainbow not to do something that could endanger her, and Rainbow insists that she must to be able to afford her treatments. This is the first of many scenes in which the issue of poverty is presented to the audience. In another scene, Greta tries to get Rainbow to throw away the watch she has stolen, and again Rainbow cannot oblige because, “We need the money. For you. To make you well.” (83). Rainbow and Greta are struck with a terrifying reality in which they must choose between Greta’s health, with the cost of sin (and real-world consequences, as displayed through later scenes) and letting Greta fall ill. Rainbow is driven to blackmail and prostitution, taking nude photos with men in desperation to pay for Greta’s treatments. While...
