Have you ever wonder how Pixar create their movies? Although Pixar movies look like drawings there is a lot of math and science that goes into them. Danielle Feinberg is Pixar’s director of photography she uses math, science, and code to help create our favorite Pixar characters. During the TED Talk, The magic ingredient that brings Pixar movies to life the speaker Danielle uses pathos, ethos, logos in the speech to keep the audience engaged.

As a hook in his article “When Life Imitates Video,” John Leo describes the Columbine High School massacre which took place near the city of Littleton, Colorado in 1999. Leo claims the actions taken by the teen shooters are due to the violent video games that* many young people play. The rest of his essay builds from this idea, arguing that violent video games desensitize players and encourages dangerous and delinquent behaviors in young children and teens. To effectively convince his target audience, those who have not yet had exposure to the idea of a connection between video games and behavior, of this idea, Leo utilizes an appeal to pathos and logos.

Laws are made to keep a society at peace among the people. They can protect people from each other, while maintaining a functioning and productive society. However some crime victims may have laws named after them. These laws typically address legal ineffectiveness, which could have helped to find and punish the criminal in that case. Laws that have been named in honor of a crime victim, aim to protect future potential victims and lessen the chances of recurrences of previous cases.

There are thousands of sport teams, from high school to professional, that have mascots that reference Native American culture. In an increasingly diverse and conscientious American culture, the question still stands is it appropriate for teams to continue to use mascots that appropriate another culture? John Barr reminds us that “I think that what I would encourage you to do and everyone else to do is just look at the history, understand where the name came from, understand that it means… honor, it means respect, it means pride. And it’s that simple” (Wulf). Barr’s point is that when teams pick this name it is an honor to be called a Native American name. In Barr’s point I would highly agree with him because, my family takes heart to that.

Toy Story is the groundbreaking 1995 motion picture developed by Disney and Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The film was so revolutionary not only because it was the first feature length animation to be created completely by CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) but also, also the film was more rounded in all respects. The characters not only looked more sophisticated and three-dimensional but their personalities were also more human and fewer cartoons like. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to

Some Live More Downstream than Others: Cancer, Gender, and Environmental Justice is an essay written by scholar and activist Jim Tarter. In his piece, he extrapolates on the connection between “environmental exploitation and human exploitation” by using both his personal and scholarly insights. His relationship with cancer is used to motivate and involve his readers to care about things like the environment and social problems we face today. He raises a highly sensitive question that is based on the clash of cancer vs. environment. Do they have a connection? I personally believe that Tarter is overthinking things but I can understand where he is coming from. Why not check all of your bases and search for the cause of cancer in an unclaimed root. Through his diagnosis, battle, and victory with cancer, he tries to make a life changing discovery.

Robert Hanssen joined the FBI as an agent on January 12, 1976 and was transferred to the Gary, Indiana, office. In 1978, Hanssen and his family moved to New York when the FBI transferred him to its office there. The next year, Hanssen was moved into counter-intelligence and given the task of compiling a database of Soviet intelligence for the Bureau. It was then, in 1979, only three years after joining the FBI, that Hanssen began his career as a Soviet spy.

It was noon when John Dover showed up to court, and he would fain to leave. It could’ve been because of his less than amorous relationship with the judge, a result of his past impious behavior, or it could be how perfidious his client was, an abject man he felt no ruth for, but it was most probably due to the fact that the woman he was betrothed to was waiting for him to finish this trial so they could go on vacation. And god, did he need one.

company. The technology used to film and edit programming impacts the operations and distribution of the company’s original content. Within procurement’s 33% share of revenues, technology makes up the largest share as firms in this industry must invest to compete. The linkages here are vertical; without the newest technologies, it takes longer to produce and edit new series to the standard customers expect. If Disney’s technologies fail to deliver visually high-quality content in a timely manner, consumers will watch elsewhere.

Pixar Animation Studios was founded in 1979, initially specializing in producing state of the art computer hardware (Carlson, 2003). In 1990, due to poor product sales the company diversified from its core business and began producing computer animated commercials for outside companies. Success came for Pixar after the production of its first computer animated film ‘Toy story’ in 1995 (Hutton and Baute, 2007). Since then, Pixar has made many innovative animated feature films, with well known ones including - A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille and WALL-E, six of which are in the top grossing animated

Another creative and profitable partnership with Pixar’s Steve Jobs was eventually damaged because of Eisner’s “abrasive style and tendency toward micromanagement” (Ivancevich, Konopaske & Matteson, 2011, p. 337). Disney had joined forces with Pixar to finance and distribute films produced with new digital technology. Eisner claimed that “Disney didn 't really need Pixar anymore, since the Mouse already legally had the right to make sequels to Toy Story and all of the other films that Pixar had produced” (Hill, 2012). Also, Eisner’s degrading comments about Apple Computer during the testimony he
