1970s American television series

Laurence awoke to an awful racket of Nuthatch’s chattering outside his bedroom window. It was not quite seven o’clock and Mrs. Rayes would not rise for some three or four hours. After finishing his second cup of coffee, Laurence headed off in the direction of town. Though it was called Sierra City, the place Laurence now trod, was indeed a town and not a city, a city, to his knowledge, possessing a more sophisticated weather forecasting system than a suspended rock hanging above a sign that…

Throughout the books Allegiant by Veronica Roth and The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks, love is present. I have read through the end of the book Allegiant, and part of The Longest Ride. Throughout Allegiant Tris and Tobias had developed an unconditional love for each other, but when Tris decides to take her brother’s place so he does not get killed, things change. While on the mission, Tris gets shot and passes away. Tobias does not find out until a little while later, and is very sad and angry…

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Many people adore this author, Dr. Seuss. He wrote numerous books; several have morals in them, such as this. If you want something to change, you have to take the initiative and make the change. In John Mayer's song Waiting on the World to Change, he declares that he can not beat the wrong in the world so he will wait until things get better. Mayer says the fight is not fair and he does not have the…

If you've been on Twitter, Facebook, any number of clickbait websites, you've probably noticed that the new Ghostbusters trailer has been posted. I have been pretty indifferent to the whole thing ever since the original cast has pretty much had nothing to do with it. The big thing that will slap everyone that has a criticism about the film is that the new cast is female. That has nothing to do with a movie being good or not. Sure, there are probably those Men's Rights douche bags that will…

Online Performance #1 Although all three videos showed the same song being performed, the environment of each performance definitely had an influence on how it was sung and performed. In each rendition of “If I Loved You”, by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, there was differences in the way the message of the song was being conveyed. There are probably things in each rendition that can be improved on, such as posture or in having more facial expressions. Each performance had its own…

It all began when my mom accepted a job offer and we moved clear across the country from New york to California in August. These states were completely different and I was just starting to adjust to the new life style. New york was cold, windy, and sunny (sometimes) and it was full of tall buildings. The main sources of transportation were a taxi and your own legs. If you weren’t skinny when you got there, you are now. California is sunny all year-round and is filled with girls with abs and real…

The next day I did a further examination of the machine and noticed that the glass tube’s electrical socket was arcing. If I kept up, the wire from the glass tube might break; I had to come up with a solution. I decided to strengthen the wire with conductive epoxy which should do the trick. The long term solution would be to replace the glass tube and the socket; there was no telling how long this unit has been in use. “Carrie, can you use your skills and find out where the company that made…

Toni Cade Bambara’s short story, “The Lesson”, is about a young black girl named Sylvia and her neighborhood friends. Sylvia and her friends live in the projects of New York City. Miss. Moore, who is an educated black women, wants the children in the neighborhood to be more exposed to the life outside the projects. She takes on the role as their “teacher” to help educate them to the more cultural aspects of life. Just as the title suggests there is many lessons to be learned throughout this…

"The Lesson" by Toni Cade Bambara is far more than just an uplifting story of a lower class little girl, out of her element in an overpriced, high-class toy store; it is a social commentary. "The Lesson" is a story about a young African-American girl's struggle with her increasing awareness of class inequality and discrimination. Her teacher, Miss Moore, introduces the facts of social inequality to a very inattentive lower class. Sylvia is the most cynical; the other children in her class see…

One “Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!” a high pitched voice screamed in fright. Prentice and Mr. Forkle turned outside. “Who was that?” Prentice asked, but the answer came as quickly as the words. Mr. Forkle got up and ran for the door. “Come on,” he ordered. Prentice got up and followed him, activating his obscurer. Outside, Sophie, on sprawled out on the ground. Mr. Forkle, pulled out a strange device and hit a few buttons. A phone, that’s what the humans call it, Prentice remembered. He then knelt…
