front yard. Unfortunately I couldn’t even crank the mower up; usually a parent would intervene and crank it for you but not my granddad he just stood there watching with his stern look and well placed E-Z-GO cap. Eventually I get it to crank so off I go plowing through the thick, wet grass. I finished very quickly and at that moment I thought, “Why does it take my granddad forever to do this easy job?” I turn the lawn mower off and my granddad very calmly cranks it back up and cuts over the whole yard

Teresa thinks that the wicked are actually trying to find a safe cure and her help is needed. I can visualize the hideous sights of the Crank Palace. “The Crank Palace was a horrible, filthy place”(Dashner 172). All people with the Flare disease are sent to the Crank Palace where they wait for their death. Despite all odds Thomas best friend Newt was sent to the Crank Palace. I can visualize the disbelief when Thomas finds a note from Newt telling him to kill him if he was his true

The one major internal conflict is between Thomas and himself. In this book Thomas meets a new girl named Brenda. Thomas’ affections for Brenda are on and off, however it certainly prevents him from conveying his affections for Teresa. Thomas has opened up to Brenda in a way he hasn't opened up to Teresa. He feels more good with Brenda, and soon enough loses his trust in Teresa. He begins to conflict with himself over trusting Teresa, since they planned the Maze together. But she essentially tormented

In the book, The Scorch Trials, the main characters Thomas and Teresa are friends who help each other get through some difficult times. Sticking together and friendship are important themes throughout the book. There were a lot of tragic and scary things that happen and because the friends stuck together, they were able to get through them. Throughout this book, there are a lot of themes but one good one, in particular, is that true friends stick together until the end. There are a lot of examples

The morals of this book is society, and how it could be so corrupt from poor judgements. The Death Cure is very similar to how a dystopian society would be like. It shows how bad society could be like in the future. In this case, WICKED, a scientific government, using experiments to test kids in a cruel

Eighth grade is when I discovered Ellen Hopkins’ books, I started reading her novel “Flirtin’ with the monster”, which is the whole reason why she wrote the “Crank” trilogy. Finding out about Ellen Hopkins’ books has really inspired me to write to a greater extent. My freshman year my grandmother passed away and to help me deal with my depression I wrote a story. Ellen Hopkins quoted, “I didn’t start it looking for publication, let alone expecting the book to become the phenom it has”. This was found

On Christmas Day, I received two tickets to the Calgary Flames versus the Vegas Golden Knights on January 30, 2018. Personally, I thought it was an amazing honor that I got to see the first meeting between the two teams ever. My mom told me that she was deciphering whether or not to choose that game or the last game of the season. After my mom told me that she picked the game that she has picked, I yapped at my mom to give me her phone to phone my grandpa. I told him that I was really grateful for

I was reading Ellen Hopkins’, Fallout, the third and final book of the Crank series. Although the first book Crank was my favorite of the series, Fallout held up its own for a solid finish. Hopkins took a chance by changing the main character narratives to relate to her children instead of Kristina Snow. This allowed for a noteworthy story by itself. The title could not be more appropriate for this book, considering the state of the characters’ lives. This widely successful series takes the reader

Abstract: In a diesel engine, three combustion parameters, which describe the crank angle at the start of ignition, the total amount of heat release and the combustion duration can be used to control the speed, efficiency, noise and exhaust emission. Pressure analysis of a diesel engine cylinder can be used for identifying these parameters. The combustion parameters can be determined using the pressure signal and the pressure derived from a mathematical model of the combustion process. One such mathematical
