Brewdrver: A Short Story

Decent Essays
My wife took receipt of the ladder and was very surprised on how light it was. After taking it out of the carton I couldn't have agreed more. Took it to the scale and it came up weighing a mere 15lbs. The manufacture claims it will hold 250lbs. Safely. There is no way for me to verify that because I weight a mere 150 lbs., it has a reach of 8' 10” for a person that is 5' 6”, this I can verify. It closes to within 3” for easy storage. That's nice for people who have limited storage.

Upon opening it up and climbing to the top step it felt very secure and steady. It has 4 big rubber like feet to keep it from slipping there's a small tray on the top ladder for odds and ends, also a couple of holes for screwdrivers. Folding is just as easy, just

    Positioning: Portola Coffee Lab is about specialty coffee. The term ‘specialty coffee was first used by Erna Knutsen, of Knutsen Coffee Ltd. In 1978, Erna used the term ‘specialty coffee’ while giving a speech to the delegates of an international coffee conference in Montreuil, France. The main idea behind specialty coffee is that the coffee beans are well prepared, freshly roasted and properly brewed. Unlike the wine where only one company is responsible for planting, husbandry, harvesting, initial processing and packaging and finally delivering the beverage, coffee on the other hand is delivered to the final consumer after it has exchanged many hands right from the farmers to the millers to the roasters and brewers.…

    Puryear's Art Analysis

    Looking at sculptures and paintings in person or in a museum rather than looking at them on a flat screen can drastically change the way you take in the artwork in many different ways. One good example is the Ladder for Booker T. Washington by Martin Puryear, which, in person, was vastly larger than I expected. When looking at an artwork in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, you get to observe details and witness different focal points that you would most likely miss looking at a computer. In Mart Puryear’s artwork, size, focal point, and surroundings can be wildly miscommunicated through a photograph. Size is a very important aspect in Ladder for Booker T. Washington, which is why I was astonished on how large the artwork was in person, compared to images that I’ve seen online.…

    What I think Brew means by what he says is that he’s mad at himself because of his wiring or the way he was made. Brewster wishes that he could just be normal, he can not do anything without getting hurt. He says earlier in the chapter that he can not even kill a spider or salt a snail because the pain always comes back to him. I think what Brewster means by this is that he is trying to embrace his abnormality.…

    Human beings love to communicate with one another and share private matters with each other. Without interacting with one another, the existence of human beings would not have lasted this long. Animals are able to interact with each other, and are bound together mostly with their own kind of species. However, animals lack the skill of reason, morality and consciousness that human beings have, which makes us different from other living creatures. Moreover, human beings intend to communicate and interact with everyone around, but mostly the ones we love and share common interests with.…

    Visions of space, time, and technological progress Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey relies on simple editing and sound to create an epic story of space, time, and technological progress. Kubrick sets the film in three different places: the African desert, inside a space station in orbit, and in space itself. When Dr. Heywood Floyd reaches the outpost station on the moon, Kubrick uses a wide angle lens to exploit the distortion of the lines. Such distortions make the station appear claustrophobic and serves as a reminder that the characters and we, as viewers, are in space.…
