Angela’s mind and body were pure instinct. She wanted to reign it in, but she felt it taking her the way it once took Esme. She opened her eyes and saw the Sun. A burning ball of gas and light which was pure energy. Her muscles thrummed with the same power of the Sun. She saw the Moon. Iridescent and beautiful in the sky. Able to control the tides and the shifting of creatures better left unsaid. She saw the stars. Scattered and glowing embers which made…

a planet that we don’t know enough information about. It’s simply too risky.” Mr. Neddis objected. Tenek shifted in his seat. “Ok, I understand Mr. Neddis. I don’t know if you are aware of this or not, but the power is out at the observatory. My electrical telescope won’t work without power. What do you want me to do?” Tenek asked nervously. “I don’t care what you do, just as long you don’t take that spaceship and you get that report done.” Mr. Neddis said with a strict voice. “Yes sir, I’ll do…

In the novel, Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck presents occasions that are caused or affected by a character's use of power. George, Curley, and Curley’s wife all exercise power over…

When I first read The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell, I was incredibly intrigued by the notions presented throughout the book. It intuitively makes sense that changes will add up over time to a significant change; after all, “Rome was not built in a day.” However, throughout this book Gladwell explores the counterintuitive concept about the foundation of epidemics.

Centrality test on these corporations to find which corporations are connected to those who also have the most connections. In other words, being connected to neighbors with more connections makes one powerful. This would further indicate that the power elite theory is important, as these corporations would have the most information flowing amongst them. After running the test, I found that Kraft Foods Inc had the highest Bonacich score (-2.127). Following this, General Electric (-2.104), Coca…

lay more in the power of the situation and less in the power of biological factors? The boys’ savage and immoral behavior, shown at the end of the novel, "Lord of the Flies" should be condemned on both the environmental situation they lived through and biological factors.
