Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to take measurement of a marine shell and observe differences in the shell in order to male a hypothesis of the shells. As we take the measurements we need to make a hypothesis of what made the shells have a variety in data. In this lab we needed to find the shells length (SL), Aperture Width (AW), Aperture Length (AL), Body Whorl Length (BWL), and Weight (W) of the shells. As we take this measurement we also need to take the standard error of each data. The standard

During the summer of 2008, one of the greatest animated films of all time was released by Pixar Animation Studios. This movie, WALL·E, was an instant classic in my mind, both the first time I saw it, and to this day. The most shattering part of the film was its depiction of both our future as humans, as well as that of our planet. Earth has become a wasteland filled with discarded trash. Garbage has piled up in landfills, until the entire surface has become one endless ocean of waste. There is no

Los Angeles Locos I’ll always remember the joy the Los Angeles Locos Hotel brought me in Mexico. I never would’ve thought the trip would consist such excitement. The night we saw sea turtles laying eggs, going horseback riding on the beach, and watching a stormy day. Leaving was the hard part, the people I’ll never forget.

What is a diary? A diary is a bridge between the written language and our deepest emotions. The reason why a diary is so special is because it is most often used for one’s self, and not intended for publication. Therefore, there is no need to hide one’s true emotions since what is written has no chance of being shared or judged by anyone. Since a diary usually remains confidential, and free from judgement and criticism, it is one of the only places where a person has no need for a filter. It can

A few characters in this novel, though, can see through these shells, into the person beneath. Unfortunately, the rest of the world is quite different… Harper Lee wrote To Kill a Mockingbird in the 1950s, a time of excessive

War is not heroic. War is sickness, struggle, and death. This is the message that poet and World War I soldier Wilfred Owen wanted to instill in his people back home. Those back home talked of glory and national pride and rooted for their soldiers, however, they were unaware of the horrors these soldiers witnessed and experienced. The soldiers and their people back home were not only separated by distance but by mental barriers, which Owen showcases in his poetry. Owen’s use of personification in
