One way in which Moore characterizes Angela as a believable student is through the use of her interior monologue. Moore uses Angela's interior monologue to add on her thoughts and show Angela's personality.

The purpose of this letter is to explain two major elements of Quiara Alegría Hudes’ play, Water by the Spoonful, that have clearly caused some confusion and frustration among the company. Water by the Spoonful is a play that has quite a few confusing elements, and the two of them that I will be explaining are the multiple simultaneous storylines and Yazmin’s dissonance speech. By using my unifying principle, these elements can be brought into the light. The unifying principle that I believe best describes this play would be “to escape the daily grind.” Hudes uses the element of sequence in an unconventional way.

Rightfully, she thought she had a right to sit in on Cody session. Malachi

Since its inception, bottled water has been a commonplace use by people on the go, but is it as valuable as people think? There have been numerous of concerns as to whether bottled water is safer than tap water. In addition to the questions of safety, bottled water can be extravagant in comparison to tap water and there are even alternative options for people on the go such as refillable bottles. In the Susan Casey essay “Our Oceans Are Turning into Plastic … Are You?” she describes the potential dangers of excessive use of plastic on our earth, especially the impact on the oceans. To further add another dimension to Casey’s argument, Andrea Fuller wrote an article for The New York Times “Quality of Bottled Water Questioned in Congress”, which

The article “Quenching the World’s Water and Energy Crises, One Tiny Droplet at a Time” explores how scientists used nature as an inspiration to create new surfaces that can collect and repel water. After observing a black beetle in Africa that can drink water it collects on its back, scientists discovered that some areas on its body are hydrophilic (water loving), and other areas are hydrophobic (water hating). For over ten years, scientists worked to reproduce these surfaces. Then thanks to scientific advances, engineers figured out how to make super-hydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces. Companies are already using these new types of surfaces to make products like water-repellent phones, but

In the most recent episode of Most Expensivest Shit, the show where the Grammy nominated rapper 2 Chainz “sets out to find the most outrageous luxury goods on the planet,” he and Diplo sampled bottled water, but not just any bottled water, one hundred thousand dollar bottled water. He and Diplo met with America’s only water sommelier, Martin Riese, who explained the difference between the many types of water available for drinking. In the nearly five minute video, Diplo and 2 Chainz are first taught the difference between bottled waters. While most people think all water is the same, according to Riese, it is not. As the rainwater falls, it runs through different areas picking up different minerals along the way. Therefore what is collected in one area can be completely different than water collected somewhere else, giving it an entirely

During the experiment it confirmed that more glue would make the silly putty more thicker. I accept the hypothesis because the silly putty was more thicker when I used 3-5 tablespoons of glue and 1 tablespoon of borax, if I didn’t use at least 3 tablespoons of glue then it would be very liquidy and slimy. For example, with only one tablespoon of glue, it wasn’t even putty like, it was a liquid. But if I used at least 3 tablespoons it was a putty and I could take it out of the bag. One thing I learned from the experiment is that you need to take your time and be as accurate as possible or else you are going to be unsuccessful and this applies in a real-life situation when I have a job. Experimental errors that could of occurred was in one of
