Ant’s effort to labor for its future. “Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; “we have got plenty of food at present” (Martin, n.d.). Therefore, when the winter season arrived, the Grasshopper was unprepared and hungry, while the Ant was full and content. At that moment, the Grasshopper knew, “It is best to prepare for the days of necessity” (Martin, n.d.). That is the storyline of one of Aesop’s Fables, The Ant and the Grasshopper (Martin, n.d.). As a future educator, whose reasoning…
Kelly, Tim. Beyond the Movie: Lord of the Rings. National Geographic Video, 2002. DVD. This is a documentary produced by National Geographic that looks at the some of the cultural resources that JRR Tolkien used as inspiration for his trilogy. Tolkien based much of the Elvish culture on the Finnish creation story/epic poem The Kalevala. His inspiration for the lyrical nature of the Elvish language also came from hearing the traditionally sung oral presentation of the Kalevala. This source is…
Thus backwards causation is a matter involving external time, and less so personal time. This is why we say events in the future cause events in the past, because we are referencing external time. However, on personal time, events from the past (starting time travel) caused events in the future (arriving in the past). In backwards time travel, what is earlier in personal time is later in external time. The distinctions between external time and personal time…
In the film Cast Away, Robert Zemeckis creates a collection of recurrent symbols and motifs that reoccur throughout the film and portray a sense of theme. Motif is an idea, object, or symbol that could be physically represented as objects, images, or sound that is repeated and also shows a meaning or importance of a theme or idea, throughout the story. For example, in Cast Away a repeated motif which represents a theme of time is the repeated use of clocks, watches, and the egg timer. Symbols,…
Arming pilots For many years the question has been asked, “is arming pilots a good idea?”. I personally believe that pilots should be but others may argue differently. The idea of arming pilots today isn’t a topic that was always thought of. As a matter of fact, the idea was proposed after the attacks on the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001. Before those attacks were carried out, the idea was unheard of. After the attacks however, this was an idea a lot of…
Action Archaeology in the Modern World (2008) is an important text to consider in today’s world, and a text to help us understand how archaeology is not just understanding the past, but it expands on the possibility of helping humans understand our future. Archaeology has a role of not only studying the past, but providing information on how to deal with modern society’s problems. Crucial information can be supplied by archaeologist, who have spent the time researching past societies and we can…
that I don't enjoy and makes me stay in one place my whole life. This is why I would love a job and life with a little bit of adventure in it. I'm still not sure about my future and I am scared I won't be in time, because every day that goes by is a day closer to when I have to step up and decide what I will be doing in the future. But I am confident enough to say I will get myself together and be ready when I need to be. I also am excited to face whatever is ahead of me because I know I can…
funeral and every time you hear it you are swept away with memories of that person. Whatever the song or the reason we can all find a song that will remind us of our past, present, and future. This would be a good conversation piece for most groups if you were to choose, but today I want to share my past, present, and future with you in…
In a single lifetime, there are several paths that rise upon action. Every step, every turn can take you off course. It can change the path that you wanted to follow. We’ve all been lost on a path, we’ve all taken a stroll for a period of time that we wished would disintegrate from everyone’s memory. No matter what happens, no matter the length, I believe that the right path is still waiting to be travelled down. It may take months, most likely years, but everyone will step on that path. The one…
Nevertheless, I was distressed to conceive more worries because it will take an eternal life to explain all my future misgivings. So for my brain to recline, I started to go off topic and examined the airplane, see people create a scene for William Shakespeare to write another romantic novel in the arrival section and more. Just before I made my brain sit up from…
