Choke point

5:30 a.m. read my clock. “Matthew, we should probably get up now.” I said, while stretching my arms. “Yeah, OK,” Matthew said groggily. I quickly got dressed and headed downstairs. When I reached the bottom step, I saw my mom packing food for the ride. I started peering into the early morning, waiting for a black car to pull into our driveway, because we were going there with our friend Casey and his mom. Then, after what felt like waiting forever, a black car pulled up into our driveway. “Mom,…

If you were to ask a group of sealcoating contractors what they consider perfect sealcoating weather, they would likely tell you that it would be a day on which the temperature was 70 degrees, the relative humidity was less than 60 percent, the overnight low would remain above 50 degrees and there was not a cloud in the sky. In North Georgia, however, a sealcoating contractor quickly learns that perfect days for sealcoating are few and far between. Instead, sealcoating professionals must acquire…

an essential. Nearly every drinking beverage in America contains caffeine such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks. As Gladwell mentions the growth of caffeine, it has become one of the most useful/common drugs. Caffeine has become addictive to the point where everyday working people rely on the usage of caffeine to continue their performance while keeping focus on what they are assigned to do. Moreover,…

Cedar Point, the Roller Coaster Capital of the world, certainly lives up to its title. Scattered throughout the park are some of the most intense roller coasters you’ll ever hear of. I was fortunate enough to have experienced the phenomenon of riding atop the Top Thrill Dragster over summer vacation, which lasted only 20 seconds of real time, but will forever be embedded within my long-lasting memory. The fiery orange sun began to submerge below the line of the horizon, far out across the calm…

Perez 1 14 Points The 14 points was first brought up in January 1918. The president at the time was President Woodrow Wilson. When the 14 points was first brought up, it was almost like a plan to try to make world peace negotiations after World War I. The first point was open diplomacy, which means there should not be any private international understandings. Second point, freedom of seas, where navigation in the seas is absolutely free. The third point, Removal of economic barriers, removal of…

After the extraction, recrystallization, and determination of melting points for the unknown compound #4 were performed, and observations were noted, the results were obtained. The two compounds yielded were 4-tert-butyl phenol and triphenylamine. The masses obtained of each compound were 0.071g and 0.298g. The melting point ranges obtained are as follows; for the first the solid started to melt at 94 ˚C and was completely melted at 98˚C, and for the second the solid started to melt at 115 ˚C…

Woodrow Wilson proposed his resolution to World War I known as “Wilson’s 14 points” during the Treaty of Versailles. Wilson’s ideas and his “14 points” were shut down by the other countries’ representatives during this peace meeting. While a majority of the Allied members favored the traditional punishment for Germany and her Allies, Woodrow Wilson was more forgiving toward Germany saying “Victory would mean peace forced upon a loser, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be…

I work up early on a low-pressures, and luminous day, and got up and unblemished the house to make it look like a brand new shoe. This about the first time I rode a roller coaster at Mall of America. Walking to Mall of America the wind was characteristic with joy of wonder inside my ear. When I arrived the amusement park was voluminous like the inside of an mansion. Entering the amusement park I decided which roller coaster to ride. Love is a roller coaster because of the unbalance emotion you…

The sixteenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book by the title of “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because the book has taught me that the little things around us can make a big difference. The seventeenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book called Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because it shows how many people who live in the U.S work full-time are receiving poverty- level wages and the…
