“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.

Throughout photographic history, the threshold that many artists had to overcome was conveying the meaning of their photographs to the public if any at all, and the orientation of the subjects in their photography. The intent of portrait photography is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Nineteenth century photo historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, “Aspiring professionals wrestled with the problem: how to arrange their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one--not just a likeness but a portrait”(Trachtenberg, 24). Through these words of Trachtenberg, we can deduce that the main problem was how photographers manipulate their subjects in a way that would

Britain, a superpower of its time, only beaten by a few, and conquered many. China, a not as strong country but a very isolated one. Opium, a drug that’s more commonly known as Morphine or Heroine. One may be wondering what these three things have in common, and the answer, trade. An Important trade that caused two wars that stretched the globe. In the years 1836-1860 a war was fought between the countries of China and Britain. A war that was compromised with an illegal treaty. A war that began as an unfair fight. A war that brought China to its knees and provided Britain with tea.

Speaker Mongs propped up a log to sit on and looked on. He took a knife from Lief’s bag and began to peel a potato with it. “Make sure it’s stable and secure, then tie him tight! Use one of your special knots.”

The events that transpired following the Second World War left many people with questions of what was in store for Europe’s future. Germany became a house divided, exhibiting shifts in culture across a border that created the east and the west. Between 1945 and 1960, Germany underwent a reconstruction influenced in part by the occupation of the Four Powers. West Germany began to experience long-lasting changes in the state of economic conditions. In lieu of this, 1945 marked a year in which cinema attendance was dramatically low.

V2 grimaced as he folded his arms across his chest. A local carnival had arrived in town and was stationed in the open lot across from Toshizou's manor. For the most part, V2 hated crowds of people, they drove him mad, not to mention the odor their bodies gave off when V2 was close enough to smell the blood that ran through their very veins.

I am applying to the Molecular Plant Science Doctorate program at Washington State University to continue my education and research.

I can say confidently that I have the tools and the determination to excel in such a stimulating and challenging environment.

Transfer students don’t become academics. I sat in the middle of the Honor’s Scholarship Ceremony and listened as a colleague of mine presented his research on transfer students in the university system. He demonstrated that academia tends to believe that transfers are not able to conduct original research. The situation felt particularly ironic. Afterall, I was a community college transfer who was being awarded a $5,000 research scholarship that very night. I had been attending UCLA for eight months but I still remembered how desperate I initially felt when I arrived. During my first two weeks, I went to the history writing center and asked a graduate student to review my research proposal and was promptly told “You aren’t going to be

I am living in the North Georgia Mountains of Georgia. Currently, a war that is supposed to “End All Wars” is going on this year, 1918. My father has been drafted in to this bloody war. I miss him dearly. Why cannot all of the countries of the world get along nicely? Do they not realize that if they did, their would be no conflict, and everyone would be living in peace and solitude. My mother has took up a new job at the artillery factory during the day, and she works for a farmer in the fields in the evenings. Poor mother can’t catch a break. I do not do much schooling or education. There is not much time for it. I have to watch over my brother, Jasper, who is 4, and my baby sister, Juliette, who is 18 months old. Father was drafted right

I can make personal relations to the series Sevens due to the fact I have experienced some of these teens issues. The severity of my problems do not compare to all of them, but they are similar to some. I can relate to the stories on Danny, Jane, Karyn, Reed, and even Peter. My situations were very similar to theirs.

This assignment was about the earlier reading that we had done this last week talking about the girl that had been treated very wrong and being given out for marriage at a very young age. This is also the same article that talks about the girls going through medical processes which involved them getting their genitals cut and mutilated at a very young age which is very wrong and was talked about in that article very briefly. This article goes into more depth of how the group was able to make all these things happen and how they are able to save these girls now. It talks about how the girl Ester who was at the begging of the last text and how she was a big role in getting laws and regulations past so that girls and young children have more

Policy design of the transportation system has long used statistics of typical economic indicators of ridership to find ways where the system is in need of corrections to operate in a more effective and efficient manner. This usually is concerned with preventing congestion at peak times or removing routes on time slots that are not financially efficient, based on the numbers and frequencies of ridership. Recently, psychologists, social scientists, behavioural economists and researchers in other disciplines have been looking beyond these issues and are looking into the importance of subjective well-being (SWB), related to commuter’s evaluations of their quality of life in addition to typical economic indicators to discover what previous

Gaming there are a lot of different kinds of gamers out there and they are all special in their own way. Gaming is sometimes just a hobby for people and for others it is a passion and something they do whenever they can because it is what they love doing. I managed to find someone who looks at it in a little of both ways. I knew going into the interview that I was an insider, so I wanted to pick someone who viewed things differently than I did because getting someone else’s perspective makes no sense if it is the same perspective as my own. So I chose one of my best friends growing up to go and interview.

Imagine a world full of chaos. In one second a bomb would go off and kill harmless people on one side of the world and on the other side billions of people die of a newly made, incurable disease. People kept on dying and there was no stopping it. Day by day, every county, all major achievements, everything would be destroyed. No one left to remember it and it's all a wink in the past.The war had been getting worse and worse. People were dying as fast as leaves falling of a tree in fall. One by one, like leaves, there would be no people left.
