Celebrating Pagan Yule, a Winter Solstice Holiday The winter solstice (also called midwinter) is a celebration to celebrate the longest night of year, and is on December 21st or the 22nd. Officially the first day of winter, the winter solstice occurs when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun (precisely. *sips daintily from teacup*) and is the “dark night of our souls”. It celebrates the birth of the new solar year and the beginning of winter. The winter solstice has been celebrated

to come up with a last minute idea. The story engages the theme of the parallel levels through the unstable marriage of Leroy and Norma Jean. The theme of this parallel is shown overtly through the images, descriptions, and characterizations of the log cabins in the story, and of Shiloh. Interestingly, the characters and the world they live in are stuck on the surface, shown through how both Leroy and Norma Jean drift on subjects, and through the names in the story. Norma Jean and Leroy’s marriage

Have you ever been on a boat in the open waters of the ocean? Fourteen year old David Alspeth in the book The Voyage of the FROG by Gary Paulsen is in a situation like this … but worse. I think other people should read this book. I enjoyed the plot and plot twist in the story. Here’s a brief summary of the whole book. A boy named David and his uncle are very close. A sad thing has happened, David’s uncle Owen has died. Owens last words were take the Frog. The Frog was a boat that Owen had treasured

The data sources for historical spot and futures prices on crude oil and refined products are available at http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/data.cfm (click on “Prices”), and current oil futures price data are available at http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/. While much of the basic ideas surrounding these projects come from Chapter 10 of the textbook, class discussions will involve deeper coverage than that posed in the textbook. I will be looking for evidence in your reports that you have been paying

I chose to write about the story “Shiloh” by Bobbie Ann Mason, “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara and Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes. I chose these works because all of them are about values, morals, beliefs and custom culture. The story “Shiloh” is about a community / couple who discover that they had different values, morals and beliefs; “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara is about a teacher who tries to facilitate the youth in her community and Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes questions one’s

In Alia Wong’s “Digitals Natives, Yet Strangers to the Web,” Wong discusses the motives behind Reuben Loewy’s Living Online Lab as technology is misshapen into education and immobilizing students from thinking critically. In other words, technology is creeping itself into a student’s learning environment causing a mayhem as educators incorrectly incorporate them alongside given curriculums and set expectations that students are technology-born prodigies.

A. Sound of the music: What does the first selection sound like? (How can we describe it in terms of melody, harmony, rhythm, tone color, and form?

The tempo is in 4/4 and is played at around 100 beats per minute. Mr. Armstrong moves quickly and widely with the trumpet from high, vibrato

In this research paper, I am determining which gum will last the longest. It may come to your surprise that mint flavored gum lasts longer than fruit flavored gum. To do my project, I am taking five different gum flavors and chewing them to determine which flavor lasts. The types of gum I will be using are Juicy Fruit, Fruit Stripe, Spearmint, Extra Polar Ice, and Bubblicious. When I chew the gum, I hypothesize that the Spearmint gum will last longer. The reason mint gum lasts longer is that mint
