Wormhole Reflection

Divergent is a great coming of age novel because the protagonist undergoes a transformative change of character. In Divergent the main character Beatrice, whose name means voyageur, goes on a journey that changes not only her name, but her social standing, physical and psychological well being as well. The story begins with Beatrice being a member of the Abnegation faction. The Abnegation faction values selflessness above all other virtues, and Beatrice has been raised to put others before herself. Although her faction is a tight-knit community brought together by their humanitarian ways, she is very introverted and withdrawn. When she “looks at the Abnegation lifestyle as an outsider, [she] thinks it's beautiful. It's only when [she tries] to live it [herself] that [she has] trouble. It never feels genuine” (Roth 36). She doesn’t feel she belongs there and feels guilty for having selfish tendencies. When Tris chooses to switch from Abnegation to Dauntless, she begins to become more social. She becomes friends with Christina, another initiate, and states that she has not “really had a friend before, period. It's impossible to have real friendship when no one feels like they can accept help or even talk about themselves. That won't happen here. I already know more about Christina than I ever knew about Susan, and it's only been two days” ( ). She is starting to step outside of her comfort zone and is making more connections with the new people she encounters than people

Over the last semester, our class has gone on a journey throughout space. This journey has grown our knowledge and imagination of what space holds for humanity. With this class, we have been inspired to look past our own planet to the future opportunities the the stars hold. Just as this class has lit the fire of adventure for space in us, our group went to Legacy High School to present to both of Mr. Wold's AVID class, pictured below, where we tried to inspire the group of seniors about the wonder of space before they took their next step in life. To do this, we presented on one of space's biggest mysteries, Black Holes.

system. Scientists say that it is not a planet but look at the other planets in

Warbler is a world renowned scientist known famously for his many interesting and thought-provoking theories based on our universe and the many others there may be. Challenging the possibility of things almost too complex for us to fathom is a pass time for him; dabbling in the existence of time travel and alternate realities. Mr. Warbler has recently stumbled across something truly “out of this world”. He, along with his team at NASA, believe that they have found a planet that has many attributes and characteristics of our current planet.

In a previous entry, I said I connected to the Miles the most due to his personality traits of being quiet and reserved. Also, he was looking to build his own independence by being by himself. As I read through the book, I was able to gain a better insight of the characters and how they have evolved throughout the book. So far I have read one out of the two sections in the book (the book is split into the sections: before and after), and the text has been revealing important background information about the characters that helped them bloom into their current state of mind. Over time, a perspective on a character can change with more known knowledge about them. The author started to reveal their childhood experiences and that explains why the characters sustain the personality

Since mankind first looked up and realized that there was so much more than just the earth, scientists and researchers have been eager to explore and study other planets, stars, and solar systems. As of Tuesday, July 14th at precisely 7:49:58 EST, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will reveal pictures like we’ve never seen.

This week was an experimental week for chem177. I am in track 2, and our first lab is the Alien Periodic table lab in conjunction with the Lewis Dot Lab. On Monday, I completed the academic integrity and the policy statements. With the syllabus, that was the first introduction to the expectations professor Stone has for his students regarding the lab. It was important for us to know the policies, so we had an idea on how to act in the lab sessions. In addition, he made his stance on academic integrity very clear. On Wednesday during lecture, we learned about the resources available to us, such as Scifinder and Zotero. These will be very important for us to use when assignments like the chemical element require in depth information. The biggest

At some point in our lives, we will experience the loss of a loved one. Often times, after a loss, individuals tend to experience grief, mourning, and the bereavement cycle. If the cycle is not navigated successfully a person; or persons mental health, as well as, physical well-being can be impacted. Although many people experience different reactions to loss, not all go through the process at the same rate/pace. Generally, individuals navigate the process successfully, but there are those who need more time. How a person copes with loss may be challenging. The intent of this paper is to showcase the grief, mourning, and bereavement process Becca endures in the movie Rabbit Hole.

I begin each skill lesson with an assessment of some kind. I prefer that these assessment NOT be a multiple choice format but rather an open ended assessment that allows for student choice in presentation of their understanding. Once I understand where my students are performing on the skill, I design research based lessons that address the individual needs of both my struggling students as well as those that may be approaching or met mastery of the concepts. Of course not all lessons can address all learners and student needs vary greatly. I will also work one-on-one with students outside of the normal classroom structure to ensure that each student who needs my time receives it. I formatively assess students along the way and modify instruction

The exoplanet is at a distance from its star that allows temperatures ideal for water to pool on the surface. Paul Hertz from Astrophysics Division Director at NASA Headquarters sates,"NASA congratulates the astronomers on the discovery of this intriguing planet that has captured the hopes and the imagination of the world," The new planet circles Proxima Centauri, the smallest member of a triple star system just over 4 light-years away, Proxima is the closest star to Earth, besides the sun. Olivier Guyon affiliated with NASA says, "This is really a game-changer in our field, The closest star to us has a possible rocky planet in the habitable zone. That's a huge deal. It also boosts the already existing, mounting body of evidence that such planets are near, and that several of them are probably sitting quite close to

Today’s the first day of the mission. I am currently up in my ship, The Pioneer, and I have just left Earth. I should explain what the purpose of this mission is exactly. Recently, a group of astronomers discovered an exoplanet orbiting a star a couple of light years away. The planet may be too far away from its star to be in the habitable zone, but scientist suggest that life may be possible on it due geothermal activity, keeping certain spots warm enough to support life. The only way to find out was to go there. While in the past traveling a few light years would’ve taken hundreds of Earth years, we can now reach these planets in a matter of days thanks to technology that allows our ships to create temporary wormholes. Right now, I am preparing to wormhole to this planet’s location, but I have some downtime since I must be a certain distance from Earth to activate the wormhole generator so that it won’t affect Earth, and the only way to entertain myself is by writing these journal entries or by staring out my window to the black void of space. The anticipation is growing on me like a tumour. I can only hope the all the money and supplies that went into this mission won’t go to waste.

5, 4,3,2,1 lift off!!! I know that you are asking yourself-Why the countdown, right? I am actually in a spaceship on my way to the planet of awesomeness! You may be asking yourself where is this planet, why would someone be so excited to take a trip to planet that a human being has never stepped on, or why would you be so excited to leave your family and friends for years? I can understand where those questions may be coming from but this mission is very important to my life, work, and destiny. With such bold words you almost have to be curious of what this mission is, right? Well I am honored to explain. I was awakened from my slumber approximately 15:00 hours ago with a continuous sound at my door and my phone flashing nonstop. It was NASA calling to hire me to construct the first human extraterrestrial settlement. Today, I will explain how I will establish my society, the main values of this society, the rewards for the citizens, and how to keep a non-violent society and how I will establish order in this society.

In The Devil’s Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea, the title has a strong connection to the story being told. Not only does the title relate to the actual name of the path that the men took to try to reach the United States, but it also describes their journey, as it is one that would be comparable to Hell itself. The conditions that the men faced along the way can certainly be described as some of the worst conditions that any human being has ever been through and may even appear as though the Devil himself is putting these men through a torture that must have seemed Hell to them. If I was to change the title of this publication to something else, I would change it to the Spanish version of the title, El Camino del Diablo because I feel that by leaving the title in Spanish, it would connect more with the men in the story, as they themselves are native Mexicans whose first, and for many only, language is Spanish.

The dark expanse, which is outer space. An interstellar spacecraft hurtling through. On the side of the hull in very large letters is IPNH HORUS AA- 5145262522. It is an Interstellar ISIS Class Scientific Expedition Type vessel. She has 5,627 personnel on board, all in hyper-sleep, a kind of cryogenic suspended hibernation medically induced coma They have been traveling for a very long time, nearly two hundred and fifty some odd years. Its mission to seek out, discover and investigate a new home planet capable of sustaining life. The Horus, along with her menagerie of refugees, have been searching for such a place, in what has been seemingly an exercise in utter futility, which will enable their civilization, to begin anew. Their new home must have water, breathable air, animal life and vegetation. The Computers have located and discarded for a wide variety of reasons 5,118,207 planets on this journey. The planet they are heading towards now will be # 5,118,208. Consequently, however, this will be their first, last, and only shot at it. Whether or not this macrocosm is viable is irrelevant, if this turns out not to be feasible, they all will surely die. The ship that brought them is unable to continue. There is no fuel to even lift off after landing. Never mind propel it through space. Therefore, they must, against any and all odds, make this work.

On my space heat indicator it detected a large amount of life on the planet. As I went to check the planet out something hit my ship and blew out the outer shield projector. I was scared I had no Idea what it was…i finally saw something in a distance it was a big giant monster, alien, it had thrown a boulder at my ship and It was directed towards the shield projector. It was like it had known what It was done. I was scared so I panicked, i had launched a nova missile at it and before my eyes all I had seen was blood and guts all over everywhere I left as fast as I could and skipped the next three planets and discovered a beautiful planet it had every element anyone needed to be the most powerful alien ever.
