“Where are we?” yelled the captain. “I can’t tell!” Ivan screamed back, “The waves are too high.” I had no idea what was going on. We were only on a routine trip across the Black Sea. “How’d it get this bad?” I thought to myself. The problem was, there wasn’t enough time to think. The ship was just being bombarded with waves, upon waves. They rattled the entire ship, front to back. Not to mention the downpour of rain, and bolts of lightning flying from the sky. With all this happening, my body
Just a bit more, hang in there. 1….2…. breathe! I turned my head and gasped a big gulp of oxygen before returning my head into the water. Again. Again. Faster. Faster and faster. Kicking furiously, I felt a sense of pride and happiness until I felt a wave hit my leg. I knew what that meant and the all too familiar development of events began. Even knowing so I teared my eyes from the bottom of the pool and looked through the corner of my eyes and saw a hand. They were closing in with my last reserves
into a school assignment you became addicted? The wave is a very intriguing novel written by todd strasser,about a senior history class that is researching the holocaust! They take a bit more of an interest than the teacher had anticipated causing him to come up with a rather extravagant method to help them better understand the event! Students prefer exposure to discipline to keep their lives structured and efficient.To better understand the wave it is very important to see it in different view points;
When one thinks back to a happy moments of their life, he or she is overcome with a feeling as if they are going to burst. What he felt was ecstasy. Over time, the word ecstasy has been modified, which can be seen through its etymology. Throughout this paper, ecstasy will be defined, explained, and compared to the words that we commonly use today. It will clarify the word by exploring its many meanings throughout history. I have chosen this word because I want to write about a word that displays

Fear has been the subject of a lot of literary works throughout history. Hamlet’s soliloquy “ To be or not to be” reveals the fear of death for example. Also, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” has become a famous maxim yet hollow rhetoric from President Franklin Roosevelt’s inaugural address in 1933. Different people have different lessons to take from fear. Haruki Murakami, a popular Japanese experimental novelist explores this topic in his short story “The Seventh Man”. Set in twentieth-century

This lab demonstrated qualities of standing waves with great help from a mechanical vibrator, a sine wave generator, and a piece of string. Through this lab we were able to understand how to calculate the speed of a wave on a string. A standing wave is defined as a wave that travels forward, then is reflected creating nodes (regions with minimal to zero energy). If the frequency of a standing wave is increased then more loops will be created, and because of that the wavelengths will be decreased
A few years back on a perfect summer day, my friends and I decided to go out on my boat, the Floating Irishman. My dad, the captain, began to sail off out of the marina into the nice calm water; it seemed like a perfect day to go out. We went out about ten miles away from the marina and decided it was a terrific spot to throw out the anchor. Once we were securely into the ground below, we threw out some floats attached to the boat and started swimming. My dad had given us a few safety precautions;
Pre-Lab Discussion Laser Safety Lasers in the classes IIIa and IIIb are capable of causing damage to the eye when a laser in one of these classes is directly exposed to a person’s eye, or in some cases, when reflecting off of a smooth surface. Class IIIa lasers have a power output of less than 5 mW, whereas class IIIb lasers can have a power output between 5 and 500 mW, and thus high-power class IIIb lasers can be a fire hazard and cause minor burns to the skin. The “blink reflex” is a protective
