Blade Runner: Cops and Monsters After thoughtful consideration and research, I can call Blade Runner a [year] masterpiece. The movie definitely sets itself apart from other films of the time not only because of its particular story and eccentric characters, but also because it aligns in its composition two distinctive types of genre, Science Fiction and Film Noir. After watching the movie and discussing it in class, what caught my attention about the film was the fact that its composition and…

The Vietnam War was a changing point in American history. Causing high tensions between the US and the Communists parties around the globe, the Vietnam War was another way people were effected by conflict. The Communist conflict in Vietnam effected soldiers and even the people back in the United States. There were rallies against the war. People were parading in the streets of Washington DC promoting the extraction of American soldiers from a war that they believe made no sense. Some anti-war…

Hurricane Andrew It is August 16, 1992 and a tropical wave is beginning to form off the west coast of Africa. The scene looks safe and not something to worry about until hours and days have passed. Twelve days later, it the 28th of August and the wave has not died off, but has grown into something stronger, something greater, something we today call a category 5 hurricane. This powerful hurricane was given the name Hurricane Andrew. In the Greek language the name Andrew means “strong”…

The arranged endpoint in the Trans-Siberian railroad was Vladivostok. However, by going through Manchuria as planned in the Russian-Chinese Friendship treaty of 1895, Russia gained Darien and Port Arthur – two warm water ports( Kort pg.175). This would have enlarged industrial productivity and overall economic health. However, the Russian control of Manchuria led to the Russo-Japanese war in 1904, just before the railroad was completed. The absence of resources strained the economy…

Raniel Gernale BIOL-130-02 Prof. Pericone Rigor Mortis Rigor mortis is a condition causing the body to stiffen several hours after death (Zhou, 2015). This occurs when both breathing and the heartbeat ceases to continue. Cells of the body will no longer receive their oxygen which in turn stops aerobic respiration. In the muscle, actin and myosin filaments cause the contractions until ATP binds to myosin and detaches the actin and myosin from each other. Aerobic respiration is necessary to…

A Peace of Flies In Robert Penn Warren’s essay, “Why Do We Read Fiction?” he concludes that people read fiction because “it [satisfies] our deepest need - the need of feeling our life to be, in itself, significant” (Warren 174-175). Lord of the Flies, “Why Do We Read Fiction”, and A Separate Peace make their readers feel significant because in all three texts, the reader can feel either morally superior of the characters, or share empathy with the characters. In Lord of the Flies, the hunters…

This engine is found in front-wheel drive models only and comes with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. This model makes an EPA-estimated 23/33 mpg…

Without an ideology of morals, anarchy would arise. There would be no order, no control, no boundary, and no sense of wrong or right. Every day, humanity overtly battles towards maintaining a balance between good and evil. Even so, depriving a once judicious person of morals leads to corollary acts of betrayal, greed, and eventually, guilt. Similarly, the lugubrious loss of morals reflects itself in The Tragedy of Macbeth by the playwright, William Shakespeare. In the novel, Macbeth and Lady…
