Rubik's Cube: Intellectual Analysis

A Rube Goldberg machine is a compound machine that uses different energy transformations and simple machines to solve a simple task. Our hypothesis was that, if we created a simple machine then, the compound machine would blow out a candle because, the energy transformations would do all the work for us. Our machine didn’t work, there were some obstacles we were faced like the reactions actually working, and only worked with a little help. The different energy transformations like potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy in this machine allow this machine to blow out the candle. A Rube Goldberg machine can be used in everyday life to accomplish easy things like turning on a

Some examples of some of the difficulties that Chris had faced while training at his intership at Dean Witter was that he did not have enough time as the other interns. Due to this he found it alot harder to work his way up a sales calls list. Some reasons behind why Chris didn't have enough time in his day of internship is that he had to have spare time to earn money to feed his son Christopher, to pay Christopher's babysitter for that day and he also needed time to make sure he was in line by a certain time so he could have a place to sleep at a homeless shelter.

He almost misses the court filing deadline and, just at the last minute, a hardcopy is suddenly found. The next day Andrew is fired for the incident.

His positive outlook on his situation gave him the strength to beat the odds against him. His chances to get into the internship seemed very little, but he had hopes to make it in. The day of his interview, he did not have time to dress appropriately, but he took his bad situation and turn it into a positive

His parents constantly reiterated the fact that after graduating from college, he must attend law school and become a lawyer. In their eyes, that is the definition of success. This package of success that has been pushed on Chris his entire life kept him from being able to find his true self. In an attempt to find out who he really is, Chris decides to leave everything he has ever known to find himself. For him, finding himself and embracing his individuality would be what made him
