The Solution
The business man behind a desk, the scientist in the lab, the artist approaching his canvas, the mathematician examining the symbols he placed on the blackboard--the thoughts going through each of their heads are very different in many ways, yet amazingly similar.
For example, the business man must come up with an idea to cut costs and increase revenue for his company. He must find a creative twist to an old idea, a new combination of numbers that allows the company to increase profit and drop costs. Yet this man strays from the numbers and thinks in images, and during the brief moment before the creative act his consciousness seems to play absolutely no role.
Often times we must get away from the

They were concentrating on how to get the top of the truck away from the top of the tunnel so that the truck could pass. This is a very complicated problem: the top of the truck is metal and does not give easily, meanwhile the tunnel is concrete and solid as well. The engineers might have figured out the force necessary to push the truck out of the tunnel, but this would involve a bulldozer or tow truck. Both would be hindered by the traffic and would take time. There are many factors besides just the force necessary to push the truck that affect the solution, with the most important factors being time and the inability to destroy the truck or the tunnel. The girl succeeded with limited knowledge of physics and without destroying the truck or the tunnel.
The girl saw that the truck had to get away from the top of the tunnel, but she understood that this was the same as making the truck get closer to the ground. This is simple and only requires some modification of the tires. What had started out as a complicated problem ended up being very simple. The girl had no background in Physics or measurements, so she relied on what she knew. She could visualize the air being released from the tires, the truck driving through the tunnel, and her going home. Her lack of knowledge assisted her in solving the problem by keeping her away from the symbols and numbers.

The storyline of The Help starts when young Eugenia Phelan, known to her friends as “Skeeter”, returns to her home in Jackson, Mississippi, after graduating college. The time period is during the 1960s and there is high tension because of racism and the Civil Rights Movement. Skeeter is surprised when she does not find her beloved maid, Constantine, at home. What happened to Constantine is a mystery to Skeeter and no one seems to answer her hovering questions.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is not specifically about orthodox Zen Buddhist practice nor does if specifically teaches how to repair a motorcycle. It does, however, dig into the inner structure of the thought process to form a foundation to support any form of logic. This is accomplished by means of a trek through the author’s mind as he recounts his past in attempt to rediscover who he once was. As the author comes to term with his duality, the reader is conditioned to understand the author’s philosophical ideas, which are the underlying beams of his value system.
theory is that of one which places Hitler at the helm where he is seen
To think that we are still not thinking, as Heidegger would say, is something we achieve through the body: “To think is to learn what a non-thinking body is capable of, its capacity, its postures” (189), and I shall add: its ceremonies.

The hole had been created when a cable broke on a crane. The crane had been lifting a very large air conditioner to the roof of five story apartment building next door to William’s house. The air conditioner had been above his bedroom at the time but it was now sitting on the floor of the bedroom next to the bed. William was trying to figure out how he was going to tell his mother and father about the roof.
Finally, “Tunneling to the Center of the Earth” depicts the story of three college graduates who discovers themselves. Feeling unaccomplished because of their degrees and stubbornly avoiding reality, they decide to dig tunnels and outlive their summer freely underground for several months. It was not until winter came and forced them back to reality that they found themselves in better circumstances than they assumed. After he rises above ground, the narrator realizes how, “hiding in tunnels had been a way to avoid the responsibilities of the real world…But it was more than that” (103). The narrator’s digging of tunnels assisted him in finding his purpose for Morse code and how it can be incorporated with his career in landscaping; his
Throughout history, women in America have fought for their rights, slowly they have been working to gain the same rights as men.

It was a dark and windy day in October. The trees were dancing in the strong breeze and all the Tens, Elevens, and Twelves were scheduled for individual training tests. I was scheduled for a 9:00 A.M. land mine agility test. In order to pass the test, I would need to cross an entire field without stepping on an artificial land mine. As I stepped onto the platform, the clock started to count down. 10...should I just run for my life...9...or should I carefully step around the field...8...maybe they didn’t even hide any land mines...7...oh of course they did! I found myself looking around at the others waiting for their own tests, and as I scanned the crowd, my eyes fell on a small girl with a freckled-face and hazelnut eyes. She was staring right back at me and looked like she was giving me some type of signal. She kept on opening her palms up and then closing them into a fist over and over again. I realized, just before the timer went off, that the girl was telling me to look out for the faint, blinking lights in some of the dirt mounds that showed that there was a land mine hidden there. I ran across the field, looking closely at every mound of dirt that seemed to have something hidden inside. Finally, as I neared the end of the field, the same little girl that had given me signals screamed, “Watch out! Behind you!” from the sidelines. If it weren’t for her, I would have
A well-written essay is one that follows the specific structure in order to convey necessary information in relation to the writer’s thesis, without being redundant. In regards to this essay, all of the information is relevant to the overall theme: the high quality of mystery books produced by Agatha Christie. This essay is very satisfying, but can be slightly adjusted to produce an even better written piece. The essay starts off with a question, “Who does not enjoy a good mystery book?” I believe that this question is not very appealing to all readers, as those who do not enjoy the mystery genre may discontinue reading the essay. The hook can be replaced with a quote, for example, to open the minds of those readers who have no yet been turned
The movie, The Core, directed by Jon Ameil, is a disaster/thriller film focusing on a team that must go on a mission, where they drill down to the core of the Earth in attempt to restart the rotation and thus for save the world from catastrophe. Although entertaining, the movie has faced some harsh criticism for the laughably “bad science” meaning the science portrayed in the movie is oftentimes less than factual, and not consistent with actual science such as the core freezing, landing a space shuttle in the middle of Los Angeles, all the birds going crazy, and someone walking in the impeccably hot core fluid.
