Water D Down Sprite Analysis

Decent Essays
On Thursday, March 16, 2017, I found Water'd Down Sprite member Cooper Barnes at lunch. Because someone at my table was not familiar with the infamous band, I decided to interview Barnes. The other members of the group are Dayton Bissett,Tyler Boone, and Dylan Aspelund. All four members are students at Smithville High School and are part of the high school's symphonic band. Barnes explained that Water'd Down Sprite formed around a year ago and that Bissett is their main songwriter. Barns described their musical style in three words: "satire" "comedy", and "mediocre". He stated, "That's our goal: to make the cringiest videos…To make people cringe." He declared that "Save the Whales" is the music video people must watch out of all their videos.

    This paper will explore depictions of marriage in Thomas King’s novel Green Grass, Running Water and how rejections of hierarchal male-female relationships, specifically by female characters, parallel and aide rejections of cultural oppression of First Nations, establishing a new basis for equality. King’s female characters remove themselves from positions of subservience, maintaining the autonomy and equality also hoped for but oft denied in First Nation’s relations with colonizing forces. Particularly, Alberta and Latisha each experience relationships easily interpreted as representations of colonialist domination and reject traditional gendered expectations to meet their individual goals, drawing parallels to King’s revision of the accepted narrative of colonial oppression. The behaviour of King’s female characters when faced with such roles demonstrate the intimate relationship between deconstructions of sexism and colonialism, and the desire for a future in which colonialist cultural supremacy has been replaced with community and respect for identity.…

    Osmosis and Diffusion Egg Lab In this lab, an egg is used as a representation of an actual cell, the shell being the cell wall, and the yolk being the nucleus, which like an actual cell also expands when placed in a substance like water, and shrinks when placed in a thick substance like corn syrup. I hypothesize that water will make the egg hypotonic, which means that the cell is swollen due to an excess of water in its environment and corn syrup will make the egg hypertonic, which is the shriveling of a cell due to a lack of water and or salt in a solution (Crowe, 2016). Then soaking it in water, and later corn syrup after the 24 hour period of soaking in water and other shorter increments of time. The purpose of this lab is to see osmosis…

    “What’s in a name?” (Shakespeare 2.2.42) Juliet asks in her famous line, a declaration of her devotion to Romeo which paradoxically emphasizes the importance of names in the Romeo and Juliet in general. Written four centuries later, Water By The Spoonful echoes this sentiment by allowing characters to name themselves online and, therefore, control and dictate their identities. Both Shakespeare and Hudes select names pregnant with meaning as a tool for characterization; however, while Shakespeare picks names the illuminate aspects of his characters’ personalities, the names Hudes’ uses reveal characters greatest inner struggles.…
