    Use of Imagery in Chopin’s The Awakening Several passages in The Awakening struck me because of their similar imagery—a bird, wings, and nudity. The first passage I looked at is in Chapter 9 where Edna Pontellier has a vision of a naked man “standing beside a desolate rock” (47) on a beach who is watching a bird fly away.

    during flight. Also, the presence and scheme of their feathers, which are contour, allow for the body to be covered tightly. This makes it streamline and somewhat reduces the effect experienced by drag. Primary feathers are on the wings help in flight and also provide wing shape, while Down feathers are soft and act as insulation. Tail feathers stretch sideways so that tail can be used by the bird to turn and

    B) Provide the main aim of the article, as concisely and clearly as possible. Prove, through the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that the front wing is a vital component because it is where air first meets the car. It improves aerodynamic performance more than other add on devices like roof spoiler, nose wing and bargeboard. C) Provide at least one diagram that best illustrates the mathematical model. D) Give the main equations (1-3 equations) at a level of your understanding

    being spotted, simply because of their wings. Their silentness is due to their unique wings. In other birds, when air flows over their wings, it “creates a ‘gushing’ noise as large areas of air turbulence build up”(4). Unlike the other avian creatures, the owl has a way of silencing this gush of air. At the owl’s wing edge, there are small bows and hooks that split up rushing air into miniature turbulences (4). These miniature turbulences flow down the wing “toward the trailing edge” (4). The trailing

But, she does have one great inventor in her house. Papa thinks he might be able to build some sort of wings that Belle can use. They will attach to her arms and her back making them close to Maleficent’s wings. After a nights rest, Maleficent begins training. Her course includes: flying across town, through valleys, under

    I’m still stuck on that where on earth did that even come from I mean really). Girls are like butterflies so beautiful to look at but so hard to catch. No. We are like people, we want to be treated as if we have more intelligence than a stick with wings. I wonder how much trouble I’ll get in if I write that in my actual notebook.

    “The human being is set apart from all other animals by an intelligent, reasoning mind. Another quality that humans seem to possess is an inherent drive to utilize that mind to achieve to recognize challenges and to attempt conquer them” (Smith, 1992, p. 1). One of my favorite person that I used to read about in high school was Benjamin Franklin; one of the founding Father of the United States of America and the master mind behind the invention of electricity. As stated in the words of Smith, the
