...one alcoholic parent.”(Wpadmin)* In the book Living Under a “Rock”: The Red House written by Shannon Hannan, the protagonist Shannon and his brothers, Dana, Tracy, and Jason, are part of this alarming statistic. Around age nine, Shannon and his older brother Dana are sent by their emotionally neglectful father to live with their younger brothers, mother, and step-father, Rock, in the Red House. After nearly two years with his father in the Birch Bay house, Shannon is grateful to be living with his mother, Lynda, and all of his brothers, but living with Rock is a different story. According to Shannon, his step-father has two completely different identities; sober, caring, and father-figure Rock and the drunk, evil, abusive, and emotionless Rock. In addition, he describes his step-father as a massive man with a roaring yell that no one dares to mess with. When his step-dad is sober, he gives all the children the attention they deeply desire, but when Rock starts drinking his alcohol of choice, Black Velvet, he almost always becomes a monster. Shannon describes how Rock's eyes change when he is drunk: “While shaking his hand I look deep into his eyes. What I see in those dark eyes causes a shiver to run...

...Chimney Rock is a great depiction of the American landscape, without any indication of civilization or settlement. The embroidery on fabric was strikingly done as the observer can see the disparity through her stitch work. One can notice complex threading modifications that appear to be a complicated task. Chimney Rock creates three-dimensionality to the multihued landscape as the threading adds an assortment of color and shading elements; Chimney Rock contains different shades of earth tones. Carol Shinn’s embroidery utilizes the basic elements of style to portray the American frontier that truly encapsulates what are nation used to be. Overall, Carol Shinn accomplished a salient reproduction of a natural setting. When viewing Chimney Rock the first thing the viewer should notice is the rocky landscape. In the background the viewer can make out distant mountains and flat mesa tops surrounding a desolate valley of green and brown tones. The sky in the background is a bright blue with not a cloud in sight. Carol Shinn creates an interesting natural aspect to the sky by making it a lighter blue as it touches the tops of the mountains and mesas in the background. As the viewer’s eyes are pulled to the middle ground of the piece the orange and red hills break up the foreground and background. These hills have desert shrubs, so hints of greenery contrast the shifting orange hills below. To the right the orange, sand-like hills shift into a towering mesa that has a shadow cast upon...

...that I detected was freedom. He talked about how water was so unpredictable and free and in one of his pieces; he connected dozens of green leaves and formed a line with them. He then put those leaves in a river. The leaves’ movement was not predictable and showed freedom. Goldworthy also depicted peacefulness in one of his pieces. Andy woke up early one morning before sunrise and worked on an ice sculpture. Ice is peaceful to me because it his frozen and never moving, depicting stillness and peace. The sculpture was finished just as the sun rose and gleamed perfectly on the piece, which depicted peace in my eyes. Andy Goldworthy was also passionate about the color red. Red in my eyes shows aggression, anger, and power. In one of his pieces, he would grab different rocks from riverbeds that would produce a deep red color. He would then put that color in several places around the river, which in my eyes depicted aggression. Goldworthy is very passionate about the emotion that he puts in his work and it was clear from the...

...the Cracked Walls by Paul Cézanne (1839–1906). It was painted between the years of 1892 and 1894 with oil on a canvas. It is a painting of a house scenario surrounded by trees, rocks and grass. The house looks abandoned or not lived in. Some will say that it is a romantic scenery of solitude and intensity. It is a painting of deep imagination and creativity: the sky is intense and empty, the ground is unstable and steep, the horizon is irregular, and the trees seem agitated as well as the rising appearance of the ground. The balance of the painting starts with the cracked house because this effect leads down to the rocks, the ground and the lines and cracks on the trees. The shadows and dark colors create balance as well: earthly colors of greens, greys, tans, blues and browns. The vertical shape of the entire painting gives it a pressed together look with the ground rising up to the house and trees that are rising up to the sky. Symbolism, in my opinion, is greatly used in this oil painting as well; the cracks in the house may represent how broken and lonely it is with no one to keep it company. The color of the sky makes the painting have a somber mood with little highlights of greens and dark green in the trees. What makes a powerful impression is the bit of red on the house itself. Since the color red represents power, anger and authority, the house could...

...one light in a windowless office or a one-room apartment whose single window faces into an air shaft. (House Plants, 1975) Artificial lighting is the answer for almost any kind of plant that can be grown if enough artificial light is provided, even in situations where no other light is available. Artificial lights allow regular people to plant whole gardens in places where no plant would ordinarily grow. A lesson in cell metabolism-energy and photosynthesis mentions that “chlorophyll absorbs most red, orange, blue, and violet light. It reflects green and yellow light, giving its body a green coloring”. This statement got the researchers curious and wondered if plants act differently to the green and yellow colors of light, then they should have different reactions and effects to every color of light. (Capco C., Yang G., 2010). This study aimed to find if there exist a significiant difference in the growth of plants when exposed to different colors of light specifically red, yellow, green, blue, and white. In this case, the researchers chose the mongo plant since it grows quickly and the researchers can quickly gather the needed data immediately. B. Statement of the Problem This study determined and compared the effect of different colors of light on the growth of mongo plants. Furthermore, it addressed the following...

...(((INTRODUCTION))) - A Kaleidoscope of Behaviours and Feelings Looking Beyond Shades and Hues An individual’s cognitive and behavioural response to colour is immediate and is sometimes deemed to have power over our feelings and perspectives. It influences our emotions, mood, actions, and how we even retort to various people, things and ideas. There have been a number of studies and pieces of writings discussing an in-depth look on the meaning of colours and how they matter to people’s lives. In technical terms and definition, colour is characterised as a property possessed by any material that produces different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it produces reflections or light. Colours are also considered a form of non-verbal communications. From prehistoric to contemporary art, whatever message that an artist wants to convey is coursed through a plethora of colours in an art piece being at a loss for words. They feel that without a discriminate selection of colours it would be impossible for them to get their message across to people. It is an expression for them, an articulation of sometimes unfathomable feelings – whether they are joy, love, peace, patience, passion, goodness, sometimes faith, anger, and even pain. Colours are interpretation that passes understanding. Their impact on emotions is generally the same to each and every individual in the world. However, they may differ in distinct meanings and interpretations according to a set of culture...

...must be mined and processed oxidized ores contain primarily copper, and can basically be melted down into copper in a smelting procress. A process in mining copper is called open pit mining in which a big hole is dug in the earth that are sometimes a few thousands of yards wide. huge machinery are used to mine copper such as giant earth movers, rock crushers even blasting with dinomites is used to move large chucks of earth. luckly we are in not gunna run out of copper any thime soon. An estimated 5.8 trillionpounds of copper known worldwide, of which about .07 trillion pounds have been mined throughout history. And of that .07 trillion is still in circulation because coppers recycling rate is higher than that of any other engineering metal. Silver, what is it and where it found? Native silver is the purest kind of silver. Native silver is a metal with nothing else added to it. Most silver is found in an ore combined with a mineral. it can be found in igneous (igneous rock is made when magma comes to the earth surface in the form of lava its is supper heated then cooled) and sedimentary ore like galena, it is formed in veins of rock that have very hot water flowing threw and around them. How and where is it mined? Silver is mined using underground mining Most of the time silver is found in ore. The miners goal might not be to find silver but...

...What is granite made up of? It is a rock, not a mineral, so it is built up of several different minerals, which include; Mica, quartz, hornblende, magnetite, and feldspar. Although some may argue against the inclusion of magnetite and mica I firmly believe that those minerals are some of the most prominent appearing in granite. Mica and quartz are known to be metallic and have a low hardness on the Mohs scale. Both of which were exemplified by our sample of granite. Along with a slight magnetic pull that our granite gave off, implying that the granite included magnetite too. Not to mention the granite is partly grey (A similar shade to hornblende), proving that yet another mineral, hornblende, is included within granite. Feldspar is also...

...room. The class consisted of 37 students learning about rocks and minerals in our unit of “Rocks and Minerals”. Learners There were 37 learners involved in this lesson. Learning Goal In this lesson, students were introduced to rocks and minerals. Students had to explore several websites to reach several questions about rocks and minerals: What is the relationship between minerals and rocks? What are the three types of rocks? What is the process of formation for each type of rock? Technology Students used portable, wireless laptops that were provided by the school. They were instructed to use Internet Explorer to complete the assignment. Students were given several websites to use to answer the following questions: What is the relationship between minerals and rocks? What are the three types of rocks? What is the process of formation for each type of rock? Students had to use the researched information to create a “Rocks and Minerals” flipbook. Students were also directed to give at least three examples of each type of rock and provide pictures of each. Facilitating (or impeding) Learning The initial time frame for this assignment was to be 1-2 days. However, it took 4 days because of consistent battery failure of the laptops. The wireless laptops were fairly old and the batteries seemed to die after 30 minutes. Needless to say, after reviewing the students’ work and after grading the “Rocks and Mineral” post test, it was evident that students learned...

...Roberto Muniz Professor Andrew Husband ENG 101.01 February 25, 2013 The Ranch It’s the end of the school year, and I know I have completed my part by passing all my classes. Now I’m sitting on the sofa watching television, but I can’t help but to feel anxious. I already know where I’m are going and who I will be going with, but I still need to hear the words conforming it. Fighting to stay awake I hear the door starting to open, excitement takes over me and I’m no longer sleepy or watching television. Then it happens, the words I have been waiting to hear all day coming rolling out of my father’s mouth: “we are going to the ranch.” Going to the ranch was and still is the most special place for me. After the trip announcement, it was packing time. The house was in complete joy, yet it was chaotic at the same time. I would run to my room as fast as I could and pull out my suitcase, but clothes were not on my mind. The ranch called for special items to be packed, like my slingshot, one of my prized possessions. It took me weeks to make it and find the right type of tree with the right tree branch. My uncle put it all together for me, he even added a leather hand grip. I couldn't play around with the slingshot in my neighborhood, so the ranch was perfect for target practice. Next was my pair of binoculars, they were perfect for the ride into the ranch, and once at the ranch those binoculars would always be around my neck. With all my special items packed, it was time to secure...
