Nighthawks It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Similarly, through careful analysis of a work of art it is possible for one to more deeply understand the ideas that the artist is attempting to express. At first glance, Edward Hopper's painting “Nighthawks” may just appear to be a painting of a normal diner. However, it is only through careful analysis that it is possible to see that the painting actually excels in creating a feeling of darkness, while at the same time portraying

Why did the Titanic sink? Who’s to blame for this imprint on the timeline of humanity? How could the guilty let this happen? All of these questions could be answered with one man, Captain Edward J. Smith. As Ballard’s Exploring the Titanic says, “(Captain Smith) was a natural leader and was popular with both crew and passengers… thirty-eight years’ service with the White Star Line… had an excellent safety record.” This seems like the guy you would want to captain a great ship like the Titanic, and

Introduction “Better safe than sorry” is a well known saying could apply to almost everything in life. However when it comes to being safe from diseases and sickness, people are putting themselves at risk to be “sorry” by choosing not to vaccinate. Requiring mandatory vaccinations for children would be a great way to make sure that everyone is “safe” rather than being “sorry.” Many vaccinations are already required in order for children entering many public schools, and they are considered very effective

Angles, and Lights Oh My! Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory may seem like very different films. One being about a man with metal blades for hands, the other about a man who owns a chocolate factory, but in reality the films share many similarities when it comes to cinematic style, due to the fact Tim Burton directed both.

(Slide 2) • Today I would like for each of you to take a moment and use your imagination. • Imagine riding your bike with your friend up a hill and you hit a rock. • You fly off your bike and land on the ground. • Your knees are scraped. Are you going to clean your wounds? (Slide 3) • Well you probably will most likely clean your cuts and scrapes with cool water. Then, you

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind(Tim Burton). Who knew that a movie could be so much like the real world events? Two subjects projected in two single clips. One from sorrow and the other formed by fright, yet you can only overcome a fear if you face it. As shown in the Tim Burton clips. Tim Burton in Corpse Bride, uses low angle as a cinematic technique in order to display how a character has more control. First example of

… He's doing a new canvas and simply can't be interrupted!” (Levin, “Edward Hopper's ‘Nighthawks’”, 186). While it may seem as if fear did not impact him, that is not the case. Levin argues that his intense fixation was an attempt to bury his own anxiety. She states that “his bullying concentration unconsciously reveals the depth of his fears about the war, which fueled a work of exceptionally disquieting power” (Levin, “Edward Hopper's ‘Nighthawks’”, 188). 'Disquieting' is an excellent description

Dong-Pyou Han, Ph. D, former Research Assistant Professor in the Department of biomedical services at Iowa State University of science and technology was found to be engaged in research fraud. It was found that Han falsified results to develop vaccine against human immunodeficiency virous -1 by intentionally spiking samples of rabbit sera with human antibodies.
