Campbell University’s Theatre Arts program put on Celeste Raspanti’s play, I Never Saw Another Butterfly tonight for students, faculty members and guests. This was the opening night of the play; as the theatre program has three other shows of I Never Saw Another Butterfly. The auditorium began to fill with an ample amount of students and guests here to see the show. The play touched on love, tragedy of losing loved ones, finding and keeping up hope, and the heartfelt difficulties that Jewish people had to go through during the time period of the 1940’s in Germany.

Julia Alvarez’s In the Time of Butterflies is a work of historical fiction set in the Dominican Republic under the rule of powerful dictator known as Trujillo. Four sisters work together to resist a force greater than themselves to stand up for their beliefs and protect their family. Patria, Dede, Mate, and Minerva, “the butterflies”, experience the loss of their father and family members to the regime. They work together to retrieve them back or use their losses to drive them to overthrow their compelling government. Each of the sisters represent a larger theme of the novel such as religious importance, identity, or coming of age. Minerva Mirabal is driven by the need to escape the “cage” she is locked in by Trujillo. Therefore, the theme

Monarch butterflies-scientifically called Danaus plexippus are commonly found in North America, Central America and Australia (“Global Distribution”). This species of butterflies has become famous due to natural phenomenon through which it migrates thousands of miles every year to escape extreme climate changes, starvation, and longer nights. Interestingly, it takes about four generations of monarchs to complete a round-trip migration, so most of the monarchs end up dying to ensure their offsprings live. The migration of monarch butterflies in North America mostly consist of traveling to Central Mexico from Canada and North American states, and covering a total of 3000 miles (“Migration”). But in the past decade, there has been a massive decline in the monarch butterfly population, with which when approximated, can be predicted that monarch butterflies will be extinct by 2019 (Curry and Walker). The major factors for this decline are: loss in milkweed, change in global temperature, illegal deforestation, and use of pesticides (Price).

Evaluating the effects of different climate and weather conditions on the winter migration of the monarch butterfly is complicated due to the lack of concrete statistical research on the number of successful migrants under varying environmental settings. Our study addresses this concern by simulating the effects of different noise levels (weather conditions) on a desirability plot (climate conditions) through an algorithm embedded within a Python program. Tests were conducted on four different noise levels (0 through 1.5 at 0.5 intervals, inclusive), each consisting of 40 trials with 100 butterflies per trial. The average percentage of successful migrants was higher with a noise level of 1.5 than no noise (96.725% vs 93.475%, respectively: P0.05 significance levels.

‘There are…two kinds of film makers: one invents an imaginary reality; the other confronts an existing reality and attempts to understand it, criticise it…and finally, translate it into film’

Directing Jaws (1975), Steven Spielberg exercised numerous distinctive methods in order to lure in the anxiety of the spectators and to confine their mind's eye. These procedures incorporate elite results so as to generate worry, unusual viewpoints in order to demonstrate expressions and crowd sequences. The

Experiment: The butterflies will be left from each group separately behind identical predators (i.e. yellowhammers and great tits on both groups). Afterward, the number of butterflies left in each group will be counted, which determines how efficient the butterflies of each group are in defending

In his basement room in 1896, Mackintosh hung up reproductions of Japanese prints. The houses illustrated in them would have without doubt have had a great effect upon him, particularly in the interpretation of spaces and the use of open screens and partitions. The careful positioning of furniture within a space and its delicate relationship with the vases of twigs and flowers that decorated his rooms are perhaps the most important elements of the Japanese style to be seen in his work. The unerring skill of the Japanese in assembling a perfectly balanced composition from straight lines and simple forms interacted with Mackintosh’s own imagination to produce a totally new

Butterflies are ectothermic, they are dependent on external sources of body heat, it can be problematic form them when it’s cold . or lack of sunlight. Their wings help them regulate body heat, via metabolic processes, also use added heat from the sun. Based on our hypothesis we thought the all black butterfly compared to the mixed black and white butterfly would have a higher rate of change in temperature. In T-test comparison 1 our null hypothesis was black and white butterfly will have a lower rate in change in temperature, and our alternative hypothesis the black butterfly will have a higher rate in change in temperature. After we pulled together the results of all the statistical analyses, we discovered that the all black butterfly had

The American Lady Butterfly, or ALB, is part of the Brush-footed butterfly family. This butterfly is closely related to the Painted Lady, Red Admiral, and the West Coast Lady. The front legs of this butterfly are very short and are covered with little hairs. Because of their short front legs, they sometimes appear they have four legs. This butterfly forewings and hindwings are the colors black, orange, and white. You can see two blue eyespots on each of the butterfly wings. You can see this if the wings are open. When the wings are closed, the underside is grayish brown and the forewings are bright pink. The habit the butterflies prefer, are sunny and open like a field, canyon, and meadows. In the summer

“In the Shamanic belief everything is alive and carries with it power and wisdom.Power animals are an essential component of the Shamanic practice.” Power animals don't have to be a mammal, they can be a reptile, insect, or sea creatures.The butterfly is a majestical creature. One that transforms, that has great balance in its life, that has the grace of a air, that accepts all changes. This is the power animal that has a great influence in my life.

German Expressionism is film movement of darkness, madness, and fear and few films personify German Expressionism as the Robert Wiene 1920 silent horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Considered the quintessential work of the German Expressionist era, Dr. Caligari demonstrates many of the stylistic and thematic elements of the aesthetic movement. In the sequence used for this paper many of these elements such as editing and mise en scene are seen. Mes-en-scene is widely considered the main draw of German Expressionism. Rather than focusing on the realism of the real world, German Expressionism counters the principle of realism and practises extreme distortion as means to communicate inner emotional reality (Johnson, 2010).

This paper presents analysis of five movies and the analysis of every movie examined various aspects film form which range from visual design, literary design, editing, cinematography and sound design. First and foremost, we have the Lemon Movie which was produced by Hollis Frampton in 1969. In general, this movie is a silent movie and it has no sound at all. The Lemon Movie seems to be an experimental movie that was performed by having a static lemon. It is an ostensibly a one short film that represents a radical pairing of materials and methods. It gives a portrait of a superstar fruit which begins to show up in darkness before it gradually comes into sight. From the movie, we learn of how important light can be. It is however difficult to learn the flow of the movie since things seem not changing except for gradual process of coming to light then disappearing. The most interesting thing in this movie is how the lemon changes its outlook when the light comes and disappears.
