Fractal Time

Ultimately it is stressed that decisions have impact on the unknown, providing comfort as it implements two principles; that undesirable future events are able to be prevented and fixed and that desirable future events are able to be created. The comforting nature of these time travel principles illustrate that the notion of control alleviates fears as sublime ‘what if?’ scenarios are made possible and attainable.

Each chapter has a different theme to teach the reader. Every chapter ends with a paragraph stating the lesson of the chapter. Although there were so many lessons, there was a few that stood out to me and were repeated a few times. One of the major themes of the book is that even if you are faced with a setback in life, whether it is an injury, grades, or a life or death situation, you have to fight through it and always think positively. If you think positively, take your time, and not rush the situation, you will eventually get through it. Another theme is that if you want to be the best at something, it takes hard work and dedication. When you want to be good at something you can just all of a sudden be good at it, you have to set goals and work for it. You have to set one goal, reach that, and make another goal to reach. Eventually, with dedication, you will make it to where you want to

supports the belief that the “truth comes out through time.” In the novel the main character, Grant, is

|Different from the “what is the main point” question above, list several things that you learned from this reading, things that you did |

The second lesson that I took away from this novel is that in this society that it was okay for families to take in strangers and give them a roof over their head which not many people would do in today’s society which is a major difference in how many people look at taking in others now. The last lesson that I took away was that many men were still willing to fight for their city and where they called home even if it was all lost to the war. Remembering Aizu had many lessons in which could be taught from it because there are so many representations of honor, society, and major political problems

To know the past is to know the future. In his essay Knowing History and Knowing Who We Are, David McCullough argues about the importance of studying and teaching history. In his essay, he explains that there are three main points about history: character and its effect upon destiny, our failure of teaching the future generation, and the importance of learning and listening to history. David McCullough strongly advocates that audience should start to listen to and teach about the past in order to learn about the way a person’s character can affect their destiny.

In the novel The Princess Bride there are many lessons that are to be learned as there are in many other fairy tales. The authors, such as William Goldman, put these lessons in the book so the readers can learn them and become better people. William Goldman’s novel The Princess Bride shows multiple life lessons that Nifty Lance covers in his writing about in 11 Content Lessons I Learned From The Princess Bride. There are five lessons from his eleven that I have found most applicable in life.

The main claim of "Some Lessons From the

The final key point that led me to understand the author's intended message, is how the author learned that the lessons about education are learned at the expense of those who weren't fortunate enough to receive one.

Chapter 14 taught me a great deal about world stratification and how the world system perspective works on an economic level. In order to understand world stratification we must understand how nationally the world is split up into classes. The three divisions of the stratification system are Core, Periphery and Semi-periphery. These were things I never heard of before, however I understand the divisions more fully now and realize how they tie into the poverty rates around the world. I also thought learning about Japan’s power elite and Germany’s codetermination systems in chapter 15 was surprising and made me see how some of their systems could be beneficial to the Americans and our ever increasing poverty rates. Furthermore, I learned what Purchasing Power Parity is and how $1.00 in other nations compares to U.S. dollars, it put a lot of things into perspective for me in terms of how bad things really could be and are for the poverty stricken.

The information provided has been compacted too much up to a level of confusion for anyone not eagerly willing to search out all the difficult statements and words. Daniel Friedmann shows in this book that we take time for granted yet it is an exceedingly difficult concept, he attempts to teach the readers about numerous sources describing past events where the world has nearly come to an end but has failed to get

patience,loss,anger,love,relationship,guilt and time. The three lessons that I felt the closest were loss,anger and time. However I choose these three not because of how much they are related to me in the novel, but because the lessons in the novel really move your opinion on this topic and these three moved me a lot and made me think every about certain things. The novel talks about time and then lesson of the time beings with the author saying that "Our lives are governed by time. We live by it and in it. And of course, we die in it." (Pg.97). This statement really is what sums up life it's true we are ruled by time time is

The video, Fractals: The Colors of Infinity and Mandelbrot’s Discovery is a very informative video explaining what exactly fractal geometry is and what a Mandelbrot set is. First, the Mandelbrot set is a very simple equation that repeats or feeds itself integers from . The equation is , with this equation you can zoom in or out as much as you like and there will be infinite patterns. This equation does not make normal shapes that we are used to seeing in everyday life, instead it plots points repeatedly creating a very intricate design. Benoit Mandelbrot created fractal geometry to be able to describe what a cloud looks like using a mathematical equation. A fractal is a geometrical structure that has detail on all levels of magnification.

There is I believe a single quote from this book that encapsulates almost entirely its underlying message:

Things that I think I would think is the text have me think that if we see the past we can fix the future.Also we can have seen those mistakes and never make them again and watch out for the future.Then when we think of mistakes we made like the great depression or like world war 1 and 2 we can fix it.Lastly the future has things we might come upon that happened in the past and we can look back and see what happened.That is how if we look at our past that it can help out future.
