HUM
Kristina Guevara HUM2510/Spring 2010 Shawn Holiday 2 February 2010 With the two essays just read, there were differences in the ways they were written. One essay gave cold-hard facts, describing the used element and he reasoning for it. The other was more based on the feeling and just feelings. When analyzing Essay 5: Use of Color and Lines in Temptation, and Essay 6. Pablo Cano: Exemplifying Dadaism through Matilda Hippo, Essay 5 was clearly the more plausible essay; it mentioned the overall appearance, the elements used, and the meaning it was intending portray. Essay 6 seemed to be more on a description on a sculpture rather than the overall effect of the piece. In Essay 5: Use of Color and Lines in Temptation, they start of by stating that the prime colors (red, yellow and blue), are almost used as an eye catcher. The writer also gives a description/meaning to each color; the different colors symbolize anger, power and neutrality. The lines and shape (a snake) also are used to get attention, even from far distances. It is described as a thick, curvy lined, bold colored, 5 foot tall sculpture. They then explain, as a whole, what the artist is trying to portray with the use of all the elements he chose. Now in Essay 6. Pablo Cano: Exemplifying Dadaism through Matilda Hippo, their attempt to give an overall explanation was a unsuccessful. Yes, they say that the

The activity was (please select as appropriate): a. Describe the activity The project we decided upon in my group is, "Teenage Pregnancy." The reason we chose this topic over other ones suggested was because we felt it is important to young people today, but is being overlooked and therefore becoming more of a problem. However we will not look into all the issues related to it. We will be focusing on how aware teenagers are about the problems of teenage pregnancy, what is being done to keep it under control, and sex education in schools. Also, another aspect of Teenage Pregnancy that we will be looking at is investigating what is influencing it. b. Describe your role My role within the group was to construct and distribute the questionnaires to
Citizenship Coursework
Why Does Friends of the Earth Need Our Sponsorship And Money? During year 9, in our citizenship lessons, we had a discussion about the world's current affairs and how we could the change school, a local area, environment for the better. We were asked to form Groups, on a common interest basis. We were keen to enhance recycling of waste materials, such as, glass and plastic in our school. Our group consisted of class friends, Jason, Steven and Prit. Initially, we had the idea of a sponsored run. We discussed which one of the main charities to donate to. We agreed to donate to an environmental group. We found two groups to consider, Friends of the Earth and Green Peace. We had a vote and the majority choose Friends of the Earth as they are campaigning recycling in particular. We decided the run was going to be on the last week of term. We asked our parents, acquaintances and teachers and others who wanted to help in our charity fun raise and it looked like we were going to raise about £40. We all met up on the day, after school for our long seeming voyage, the two mile run. Also on the way round, we thought it would be a good idea to pick up any rubbish that had been littered on the floor to be recycled. We went up George VI and turned left into a small road leading to an alley before beautiful green farm. Then continued running up the down the hill. Then slowed down our pace
Climate Change
Climate Change Over recent years it has become evident how quickly our climate is drastically changing. Evidence of this is supported by ever growing, extreme weather conditions. Scientific research has concluded that increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (), methane (), nitrous oxide (), and a few other gases are to blame for the sudden change in our climate. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is probably the most important greenhouse gas produced by human activities, primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels. Currently, there is more CO2 in the atmosphere than there has been in the past 600,000 years. The term 'greenhouse effect' was first used by Atmospheric scientists in the early 1800s. At that time, it was used to describe the naturally occurring functions of lucid gases in the atmosphere. In recent decades, we often hear about the greenhouse effect in somewhat negative terms. Effects of the climate change theory are already starting to become visible. Examples include accelerating glaciers, the vast shrinking ice caps, changes in plant and animal behaviour, longer and more severe tropical storms worldwide. As sea levels are slowly, gradually rising people living on low-lying islands and coastal cities face loosing their homes for good. In December 2005, a small community living in the Pacific island chain of Vanuatu became the first in the world to be formally
Childhood Memories
Childhood Memories It was the first time ever going on holiday for me. The place we were staying at for the week was a mysterious place called Centre Parks. Although the name didn't really sound very exciting to me, but then I found out it was in Nottingham Forest. That's were Robin Hood and his merry men lived; I really loved watching that film. I started to wonder to myself if I'd meet little John? He was one of my favourites, I thought of myself running through the forest with bows and arrows strapped on our back being chased by the evil sheriff of Nottingham( he would think he was gaining on us but really he was heading into a dastardly trap which me and little John were cunningly leading him into, and all the merry men would be hiding in the high leafy trees and under thick bushes waiting); now I was really excited. I was sure it to be an adventure of epic proportions. It turned out to be a great adventure, but not quite what I'd expected. We started our epic journey from Rhyl to Nottingham Forest at precisely 06:00 hours. The estimated time of our journey was four gruelling hours. This would be the longest trip of my life yet! Was I ready for such a journey? Would I make it? I sat seriously pondering how I would cope; I would make it... I was really grown up now... well I was 5 after all! I was going to the place were Robin Hood and his merry men lived, and of course
Barriers To Communication
Barriers to communication There are many barriers to communication, then main reasons communication may be blocked is either because, the message is understood, the people in the interaction is impaired or the message can't be made sense of. The message may not be understood because many reasons, this could be because of cultural differences, emotional issues or because of the different social settings. Cultural differences may be because the communicator may have used humour which is related to there culture, but the listener of the interaction may have a different culture and may not understand that related humour, then the message is not understood. To make sure the message is understood the communicator should not use any humour relating to their culture in case the people involved in the interaction have a different culture. A cultural difference may not only be humour, it could be gestures used. If a gesture is used in communication and there are different cultures involved, then a gesture could be taken and related to being either polite or may be a rude gesture, depending on the culture. The way to make sure the message is understood, the communicator should not use any gestures, and if the communicator does use a gesture, they should explain what it means, in case of any confusion. In certain cultures, if a person is slouching it means they're sad; however in
GCSE Astronomy controlled assessment - B4 Constellation Photography
Francis Glynn-Matthews 9135 GCSE Astronomy Controlled Assessment: B4 – Constellation Photography Design For my coursework I have chosen to attempt photography of three different constellations in the night sky. I will go out on three separate dates to take photos then select the best photographs to use for the analysis. I will then aim to identify colours and magnitudes of my photographed stars using comparisons with reference stars for which I have collected known magnitudes from official sources. Explanation of used Astronomical terms Constellation – A group of stars seen from Earth as forming some sort of recognisable pattern in the sky. These are usually given names due to their resemblance to mythological creatures. Asterism – a prominent pattern of stars in the sky; usually part of a bigger constellation. Reference star – a star with a known magnitude used to compare against others to determine estimates for apparent magnitudes. Star chart – a chart used to show the position of stars in the sky when viewed from a particular point on Earth at a particular time. Magnitude – the brightness of a star. For each whole number above 0, the brightness of the star decreases by x2.5. Meaning the magnitude rating would be 1=2.5, 2=6.25, 3=16 etc. Colour – the surface colour of a star which depends on its temperature and chemical composition. Red stars
Discussing Jaws
The film I am writing about is Jaws, which was directed by a young Steven Spielberg in the year of 1975.The story is about a man eating great white shark who is terrorising the people of Amity Island. The film is set on Amity Island, New England, United States of America on 4th July which is also Independence Day. I believe it is set on Independence Day because it is a holiday for the whole of America to celebrate. People will be attracted to Amity Island for the great local businesses, its beautiful golden beaches and its supposedly safe waters. In this essay I will show you how the director has created suspense, excitement and horror for audiences around the world. He does this by certain positioning of cameras, the sounds played in the background, not showing such a great deal of the shark and the actors' reactions to seeing the shark and the attacks. At the beginning of the film, in the title sequence, there is a point of view shot from the shark as it swims through the reeds on the bottom of the sea bed. This makes it look like the shark is searching for prey and as then chasing it when the music starts to get faster and louder. The music in this scene is non-diagetic and is also in time with the sharks heart beat. The first attack in the film comes just after a shot of a group of friends on the top of a hill are sitting around a campfire, singing, playing music and
Extended Programme Note
GCSE Performing Arts Dance: Extended Programme Note Title of Dance: Crescendo of Attitude Candidate Name: Sarah Birchall Candidate No: 7053 Centre Name and No: Tapton School 36720 Solo Choreography Music Extract from "Who's In Control?" Artist: Natasha Shneider I chose this piece of music as my accompaniment to my choreography for its mood, dynamics, structure and also tempo. The mood contrasts between graceful and tranquil setting describing the shyness of the character. It then switches to a faster beat and more distinct instrumental inputs are used portraying the build in confidence or attitude of the character. Also the dynamics contrast from quiet gradually building to fairly loud. The beginning is quiet and fluid with a steady, clear beat structuring the characters life. Then the dynamics change to a clear, crisper sound becoming more complicated. The phrases are rigid and interrupted by different instruments, creating texture. This shows the confidence levels being experimented with by the character to a climax. The structure is clear helping me to define sections and focus on them differently. The tempo does increase, but mainly stays moderate. This also helps me to define sections and use different motifs to match the dynamics, structure and tempo. Summary of Dance Idea My dance is about the build in confidence or attitude in a character. The beginning
Additional Science
Year 10 Additional Science Holiday Homework ) What are the two common isotopes of chlorine made up of? There are two types of chlorine atom- one has 17 protons and 18 neutrons(and so has a relative atomic mass of 35) and the other has 17 protons and 20 neutrons(and so has a relative atomic mass of 37). 2) Why was the Haber process such an important invention? Fritz Haber was a German chemist, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his development of synthetic ammonia, important for fertilizers and explosives. The Haber process is the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen, over an iron catalyst to produce ammonia. The Haber process is important sue to the fact ammonia is difficult to produce, on an industrial scale. The Haber process now produces 100 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer each year. % of the world's annual energy supply is consumed in the Haber process and that fertilizer is responsible for sustaining 40% of the Earth's population. 3) Find 3 exothermic and 3 endothermic reactions not mentioned in the textbook? An exothermic reaction is one that releases heat. Examples of exothermic reactions: * Adding concentrated acid to water. * Nuclear fission. * Condensation of rain from water vapour. The word endothermic describes a process or reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat. Examples of endothermic reactions: * Evaporation of
