The Book Thief is about the story of Liesel Meminger, as her story is narrated by death itself. (Creepy, right?) 1939, Liesel and her brother Werner, travel to a town called Molching, located outside of Munich, Germany. On their train ride, Werner dies of a mysterious illness with something to do with poverty, poor living condition, and poor medical attention.

The only problem is, Liesel doesn’t understand how to

With virtually any kind of text, critical thinking is required to unveil the true meaning and purpose behind an artist’s work. Whether that text is a poem, novel or film, we as scholars must find evidence to support our claims of the current text. The text I shall be analyzing is the short film Dig, written and directed by Toby Halbrooks. The main story line of this film is of a young girl watching her father dig an unprecedented hole in their own backyard. To the untrained mind, he seems to just be digging for no apparent reason. However, that is not the case at all. The father digging the hole is a metaphor for him attempting to escape his problems shown through the daughter’s eyes. The evidence supplied throughout the film all point to how

A community’s first burial ground is a three dimensional historical document and the mepicenter of its collective and historical memory. At the corner Barrington Street and Spring Garden Avenue rests the Old Burial Ground, Halifax’s oldest final resting place. Founded in 1749, it was the burial ground for people of all faiths, excluding the aboriginal people of Nova Scotia. 12,000 people were buried in this non-denominational cemetery before it ceased expansion in 1844 (Old Burial Ground, 2011).

Merriam-Webster Dictionary denotes heritage as the tradition, achievements or beliefs that are part of the history of a group or nation (“Heritage”). Many would agree that America is the epitome of a hard working nation as everyone desires to obtain the American dream. The American dream is obtained by the fulfillment of one’s personal aspirations to become successful. Success can be measured by one’s desire to be emotionally, spiritually and financially satisfied. Whatever one’s mode is to obtain success, it can only be obtained by means of determination followed by hard work. The characters in Heaney’s “Digging” and Hansberry’s, A Raisin in the Sun, are similar because their work ethics are influenced by their heritage, yet their approaches

The configuration of this machine allows the operators to sit high enough up to see where they are digging at all times just for one feature. A feature such as this is especially important when the

This photograph shows Roosevelt on a digging machine during the construction of the Panama Canal. Although the canal was not completed in 1908, many other events were accomplished during this period; like the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series and Henry Ford producing his first model T automobile. This picture depicts Roosevelt standing on top of the digging machine higher than the rest of the people demonstrating his relentless commitment to overseeing this project being accomplished. Along with President Roosevelt, there are British leaders and businessmen shown standing around discussing the project. As depicted and factual, America inherited a depleted workforce and equipment that were in poor condition from the French. A U.S. government

“Wait here. You will be safer without me, in the morning when they leave, run! Take the little one and run. I’ll meet you at the capital if…” Said Kino.

Much of what we know today about ancient civilizations is mainly derived from a variety of archeological evidence collected by historians, classicists and scholars alike. By examining physical artifacts, a window to deeper knowledge about the world of the past is opened. The Colosseum built under the reign of Emperor Vespasian of Rome and the Göbekli Tepe of the Neolithic Era prevail as one of the most extraordinary structures of the ancient world (#). The excavation of King Tut’s tomb further unveils valuable information about life in ancient Egypt. An architectural structure like the Colosseum reflects the values and cultures of the ancient Roman civilization. This freestanding elliptical amphitheater has the capacity to hold up to 60,000-80,000 spectators (*). As mentioned in lecture by Dr. McGuire, the interior is made up of series of rings extending upward and outward from the center, which reflects the enormous strength of Roman cement architecture. In addition, the five distinct levels seating zones found on the interior illustrate the existence of social stratification in ancient Rome. Majority of Roman entertainments are hosted here at the expense of the leader and the grand scale of the Colosseum further shows that mass entertainment plays an essential part within Roman society. Entertainment includes, but is not limited to, chariot racings, animal acts, and gladiatorial combats. The purpose of the early Colosseum still remains unclear, but some writers believe

Colossal cave adventure is the great grandfather to all adventure video games created ever. It has the luxury of being the first game to introduce an interactive narrative, while also existing as the first ever digital open world for a player to explore.

The biggest problem one faces when constructing an underwater settlement is, obviously, the pressure. Water exerts roughly .036 pounds of pressure per square inch, which isn’t really a problem when you’re taking a dip in a pond, but when you want to put an entire structure a few thousand meters deep in the ocean you find yourself with a bit of a dilemma. That’s not to say that it’s not possible, James Cameron piloted a submarine 11,000 meters down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 2012, far deeper than any permanent underwater settlement would need to go. Borrowing from the design of the Deepsea Challenger, we know that syntactic foam is a great material for underwater construction. It is
