I. Advantages of a CCD camera over a tube camera The introduction of CCD cameras was a significant step for cinematography in terms of video actually transforming into a medium through which excellent pictures could be created. Until the introduction of CCD cameras, tube cameras were the primary means of capturing images on video cameras. They had a number of problems associated with them, and it was only the introduction of the CCD camera that first addressed most of these issues. A. CCD's…

Discoveries made by individuals will undoubtedly transform them, where it be a positive or negative transformation. This can be seen in the poems by Robert Frost, namely ‘The Tuft of Flowers’ and ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’, and also in the short story ‘Big World’ by Tim Winton. In ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’ the speaker makes a discovery on his own perceptions of the world round him and how he must change in order to fulfil his responsibilities. Similarly, in ‘A Tuft of…

crops have been shown to disrupt the natural life cycle of our environment as in cases such as with the monarch butterfly. Even the loss of milkweed that Monarch butterflies depend on, (and other sources of nectar and pollen that wild pollinators require to survive) is an environmental side effect of intensive herbicide use associated with GE crops. (Pleasants & Oberhauser, 2013) Butterflies are in indictor of a healthy, flourishing environment. They are natural pollinators and work as pest…

The Little Things “Mama, why are we leaving?” I kept asking her that same unanswered question since we won those glossy, olive airplane tickets. But today, that question was soon going to be answered. I had woken up with a distressed gaze on my face, because I knew it was the day I was leaving my home, Halych, Ukraine. I didn’t get up right away like I always did, instead I just stared at the ceiling, walls and the furniture in my room; examining the florid wallpaper, the life-size Barbie doll…

something else in life. The “bewildered butterfly” is confused, flying “round and round”, searching for the flower that was “yesterday’s delight”. This reflects memory and the search for happiness. The butterfly gets the poet to think about the situation, “I thought of questions that have no reply.” Instead of returning to the ordinary, daily tasks needing to be done, the butterfly captures his attention and draws him to, “The Tuft of Flowers.” The butterfly unites the speaker with the mower who…

awkward? Will it ruin the friendship? These are typical fears that arise when taking the risk of falling in love. Yet, nothing can quite compare to the feelings and emotions that come with falling in love. It all starts with the nerve-wracking butterflies, the sweaty palms, and the inability to breathe. Slowly the…

Drones: Not Even Remotely Safe Technology. Ancient people would never imagined the type of technology people use today. It makes tasks easier and more efficient, however, at times some people misuse this technology. In his short story “A Sound of Thunder,” Ray Bradbury demonstrates this idea of utilizing technology through harmful means with the reckless usage of a time machine. Even though Bradbury writes of a technology that has not yet been invented, his idea still stands today. Drones…

Monarch butterflies are mainly at risk from GMO plants. In addition to bees and butterflies, birds are also at risk from pesticides and herbicides, and work as pollinators, like bees. A solution to GMOs would be out right banning them because it would limit the damage we cause our environment and improve…

In “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury, the main character Eckels was a big game hunter. Eckels is cocky about hunting all kinds of animals in the world, except for a dinosaur. For that reason he decides to sign up for an expedition that travels back in time with a time machine and hunts the most deadliest dinosaurs in the past. Eckels is sure of himself and thinks there is nothing that could scare him. They finally arrived in the past and went over the rules. The dinosaur with red marked over…

In the movie “Patch Adams” starring Robin Williams as Hunter “Patch” Adams, was such an eye opening movie to see such as “A Death of One's Own”. Patch Adams was an amazing movie and I am glad to have seen it due to its different viewpoints and uniqueness of the situation Patch Adams is in. It was also interesting because the movie is based on a true story and its hard to believe that with how crazy Patch Adams life seems. I definitely am going to rewatch this movie and show other people with it…
