The painting titled “A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie” created by Albert Bierstadt, features a scene from the base of Mount Evans, in the Rocky Mountain range, in the United States. The second part of the title is created as an homage to his late wife, Rosalie H. Osborn. The scene contains a myriad of colors that ultimately culminate in a scene causing excitement within the person viewing it. The bright colors of the clouds and the lake contrast beautifully with the dark vibrant greens

Brokeback Mountain is a film that describes a tragedy surrounding forbidden love. The love is between two men, Ennis and Jack and the setting is Wyoming for twenty years from the 1960’s to the 1980’s.

From this came a great deal of frustration and pain for the two men, their wives, and families. The

The embargo that changed it all. Long before the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba, the island realized that it really did need to count on its many tourists visit as a big process in developing their economic and social development but it wasn’t until the Cuban revolution in 1959, that really opened up the island into seeing that they need the tourism to grow in the future. The U.S. trade embargo was to stop any trading exports to go to Cuba, it was originally started by president Dwight D. Eisenhower’s

There cannot be any other option than to try with all our might to repel alien life forms from our universe. There are no real benefits that we can gain from allowing them into our homes as welcomed guests. Allowing the aliens to come and settle here would cause nothing short of our demise. Allowing an invading power to come into our territory unopposed would jeopardize our civilization as a whole. We would no longer be ourselves, for whatever it is that they bring to us, we will never be the same

Three days later, his terribly battered body surfaced in the muddy Tallahatchie River where it straightens out for a stretch through the cotton-rich flatlands of the delta. His name was Emmett Till. He was 14 years old.” (Jallon, 1985) Over 60 years ago, the murder of Emmett Till shaped the course of human history significantly. News of his death sparked outrage worldwide, and served as the catalyst for

people are amazing there too. What I was expecting was endless cowboy hats, boots, and beer bellies. Not knowing what to expect I told myself to “look on the bright side” and charge head first into the world of education. I set a goal when I saw the flatlands of Texas, not to try, but to make a fist-full of friends, create memories for myself, and especially get out of my comfort zone. If people didn’t like the way I dress, look, or act then that is fine and I learn to live with that not everyone will

Then, Karl stopped for a second to observe the beautiful campus: the dancing grass, the singing beasts, and the refreshing feeling

questioned as to whether time is a fourth dimension of our universe that we simply do not have the ability to see. Much like the sphere explained to the square in Abbott’s “Flatland,” seeing something in a specific dimension automatically implies the next dimension exists. When the square was able to see other citizens of Flatland, it implied that they had a miniscule amount of height into Space land, or else they would not be visible. (Abbott) Scientists have attempted to prove that we live in a
