Time Capsule Research Paper

On the top of my list of objects to bring the Bible would be number one. Being able to read the Bible daily would give me strength, wisdom and guidance. I normally attend Sunday church services and without attending a service the Bible would inspire me to keep the faith on a deserted island. There are so many verses in the Old and New Testament that would embolden and excite me. Here is a prime example in the Book of Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you”

The artifact represents personal objects and meaningful moments, person influence on our own life. This is one of the assignment in our program to share our artifacts toward our colleagues and professors. This will take in more about different culture, uniqueness, identity and values of our schoolmates and how they reflected in their life.

These were the last words ever spoken between me and my best friend, Stephen. I never saw him again after that.We weren’t allowed to speak because his girlfriend didn’t like it. He left the day before I ended 8th grade to live with his daughters. He may have been 16 years older than me, but I never had a better friend. He died 3 years later, in 2016.He fell in the shower and the doctors told him he had a concussion, when n reality he had a minor brain bleed that killed him 3 days later. The item that I will be using for my cultural artifact speech, is my tattoo that I got for my past birthday. The tattoo represents him in the way that I am able to remember him best, with something he loved to do. He loved music and playing the guitar

Scene one(describing character and exposition): I have recently been asked to participate in a time capsule that will placed in a cornerstone of a public building and will be opened in the year 2100. I am a girl currently fifteen years old living in Edison, New Jersey and enrolled in the Ogburn School. In this capsule I am supposed to include information about my current generation that I want the generation that will read is to know and be informed of.

The Great Gatsby and Citizen Kane are both stories in which the main character wants to get back to times before where they presently are. In both stories they have an object that symbolizes a time and person they wish to be. For Gatsby it is the green light and for Kane it is Rosebud. What I want to explore is what happens when theses symbols are no longer symbols, but memories.

Wondering upon a metal or lodged in the ground might come across confusing, yet not to mention the foreign objects stored inside it. The box, a capsule, is used to educate future explorers about past generations. What belongings would best be left behind to depict a vision of this generation? My capsule would include baseball gloves and baseballs, a record player, and a handful of coal.

Many families cherish their traditions and how they began or who they are made to remember. Traditions and family heirlooms are passed down for centuries and most likely have come into contact with everyone at some point. Maybe a mom has a necklace passed down from her great grandmother as a reminder of the beginning of her journey finding home in a new country or a baseball from a dad’s first game at the stadium with his grandfather that introduced his love of the sport. Traditions are a great way to remember and memorialize someone. Maggie from “Everyday Use” by Alicia Walker and the grandmother and granddaughter from “Legacies” by Nikki Giovanni associate heirlooms or  traditions to people because of their emotional value and how they are

Merriam-Webster defines the word artifact as something created by human usually for a practical purpose: an object remaining from a particular period. In my family, there aren’t a lot of artifacts, but we do have a special artifact that means a lot to my mom’s side of the family. Similar to the way Brazilians celebrate Brazilian Carnival, in New Orleans, we celebrate Mardi Gras. Celebrating Mardi Gras is my family tradition. But my mom and I haven’t been in years due to school complications and other commitments. Every year when my mom and I miss Mardi Gras we go to the basement and find different Mardi Gras beads, and where them all day.

People hold on to pieces of jewelry, furniture, and other symbolic collectables that is passed through generations. These things can remind a person of a loved one that is seen as being priceless.

Choosing an artifact for the box was an easy decision. I chose to put a picture of my dog, Chocolate, because he is very important to me. He is a two year old Schnoodle (half Schnauzer half Poodle) who we rescued from the animal shelter.  It will be exciting to look back at what he looked like as a puppy.  The artifact portrays me well since I love my dog and he is a big part of my life. It shares

There are many items that I have in my possession that make me feel accomplished or an item that I use just daily. There is however, some items that have absolutely no idea why I have, and continue to hold on to them. For example, I still have a karate trophy that I really don’t pride, a computer hard drive that should have been thrown away, and some empty boxes of Run Gum. It’s either I don’t want it or I don’t need it, and these three items I really should not have, but will continue to possess.

My artifact is brown and black with almost 2 decades’ worth of memories; this object is my stuffed Rottweiler named Max. This artifact, although motionless with four legs, has walked to the moon and back with me as a child full of imagination. This artifact stores the most precious memories and has been with me at every step in my life. Max is very meaningful to me because we have shared many memories, from birth until now. My stuffed animal has been with me through every ups and downs in life, every change that has ever occurred to me, has been a part my past and present; and represents my future.

The things I carry is not as meaningful as the things that I keep safe. Physically I carry a phone and it means something for me because it’s direct contact with my friends and family with the push of a button. Not only that, but I am able to see the pictures and videos of loved ones that passed away or are so far away that I can’t see them. My phone is the quickest way for anyone to reach me at any time and it is very meaningful for me to talk to the people I love. Something that I have, but I don’t carry is a gold chain that my mother gave me. When it comes to objects, it is the most meaningful of all. The reason why it is so meaningful for me is because the backstory that went goes with it. My mom is very important to me and she raised me

There’s always more significant to an object than we think. All it takes is the right individual to see the value of an object. An object changes throughout time; not only physical but spiritually. What has no meaning today, could have some meaning in the future. For example, a pair of shoes one hundred years ago had no significance to anyone. Fast forward today, a pair of shoes has significance to many people. There are still some people that think shoes have no meaning and are worthless. They’re wrong, shoes have meaning and impact lives. Shoes can be important to an individual for a variety reasons. Whether it brought friendship or it was worn by a historic figure. That brings me to my object: Micheal Jordan’s 6th signature shoe. Also known by many as “Jordan 6’s”. These pair of sneakers have a lot of history. It all begins with the

Assembling a time capsule that will contain three of my most priced possession’s is quite exihilarting. However, the three significant items that will be enclosed for years and years will contain personal belongings of myself for other’s to see and connect with. To clarify, the time capsules that I have seen through videos or movies all contain things such as the clothes from that era, newspaper articles, and love letters. However, mine would be a case of CD’s, a video recording, and a binder filled with my journal entries. To clarify, by putting a case of CD’s inside a time capsule is based on what the songs make me feel. It will contain a small sentence in front of the CD and it will say somethiing like, “Music to listen to when you have
