Clara Bow

older generation and the younger generation, especially between men and women. In a literary digest produced in 1924, the writer analyzed that the cause of the divide could be characterized as a misunderstanding, stating that the younger generation was “a conflict between the conservative point of view of a past generation and the eager, liberal outlook of a modern age.” Many older generations believed that flapping was all about rebellion. Regardless, the social backlash did nothing to deter women from their flapper lifestyle. Clara Bow, one of the most popular actresses at the time, did not allow even her mother’s hatred of her career choices to stop her. In an interview, she recalled how she awoke one morning to her mother holding a butcher’s knife to her throat. Believing that “sin awaited someone who wanted to be a movie actress,” Bow’s mother believed “it was better that her daughter die and so escape damnation.” Even against these odds, Bow managed to keep her position as the epitome of a flapper and America’s “It Girl,” until her eventual retirement. However, the social backlash was not only aimed towards large public figures. A common misconception among older generations was that the girls were rebelling simply for the sake of rebelling, and not about social liberation. Every turn of the century produces its own differences in opinions. While the divide in beliefs separated the older generation from the younger generation, it largely signified the step a new…

The bow had become non-existent from the first torpedo, the second struck midship on the starboard side neighboring a fuel tank and powder magazine. The subsequent explosion split the ship straight down to the keel, knocking out all electric power. Within minutes she went down swiftly by the bow, listing hard to starboard. Of the 1,196 souls aboard, about 900 made it into the water during those few minutes, before she sank. Few life rafts were able to be released from their staging positions.…

After that she uses a type of purple voodoo magic to keep me from using my legs. I thought she only used bow and arrows! She throws a purple source at the building, and it explodes. Millions of ashes explode into the air. It would be unlikely if anyone around that building survived. Adwoa digs her hands into the ground and breaks the floor open. She throws another purple gas at in the abyss, and fire blazes out of it. “It is finished!” she yells as she picks me up. But before she can throw…

at some point.” She wiped off her dagger and laid it neatly on a small table next to four other daggers. The next morning Viona awoke early, she had decided on finding a dragon; but first she would need a dragon to find. It was around four o’clock in the morning when she was finally finished with preparations for the journey. She was dressed in a long green dress with a laced bodice and she had a large green hooded cloak to match. She chose green because it served as a camouflage among trees.…

A slightly heavier draw length bow will make the arrow go through the air faster. Arrows are made of low density material. Carbon is less flexible and lighter than aluminium, which means that an arrow's diameter can be thinner making it more aerodynamic. Less mass= More speed The less the arrow weighs the faster the energy can make the arrow accelerate. A bow puts energy to a heavier arrow better than a light arrow. Every time you decrease 1” in draw length, you lose up to 10fps of arrow…

versions of the stringed bass varied greatly in shape, size, tuning, playing techniques, and number of strings. Most of these issues were not agreed upon until early in the 20th century and some still persist today. Exploring the history of the bass we’ll discover how a simple hunting bow transitioned into the realm of music and spawned a new style of instrument that would eventually produce the modern day bass. We’ll examine the significant moments in the history of the bass to discuss topics…

I knew that if I didn't go on the trip something would go wrong. After training for weeks on how to throw an atlatl, what angle to throw it, and where to hit the animal. I also learned where to hit certain animals, and how hard to throw it, I also learned how to shoot a bow and arrow. Yesterday, had been my last day to practice and I knew I was ready, I packed food, water, my bow, my atlatl, and my will to succeed. When I was little, I had always dreamed of going on one of these trips, going out…

As I am crawling through the cornfield stubble on a cold December evening, with my bow clenched tightly in my right fist, I become more aware of the hard dirt stabbing into my knees as I inch my way towards the grove. My hands are white from the numbing wind; the gusts pricking my face that sends a cold chill down my spine. As I lose the feeling of my face and my eyes begin to water, I only have one thing in mind, venison. I arrive to the grove, and make shelter behind a large oak. I scan the…

While there were many different weapons that were used during Medieval times, the crossbow may seem like a simple weapon at first, but was more than just simple weapon, up close. One reason that the crossbow seemed simple was because of the way which it looked. The crossbow had a long wooden stock, which was about two to three feet in length. The “bow” part of the crossbow was attached to the front part of the stock. Right in back of the “bow” was the bolt, or medieval arrow of the crossbow…

A bow is basically a two-armed spring that stores mechanical “potential energy” once the string is drawn and pulls back the limbs. After you recoil the cord, you utilize your muscles to exert a force on the string that bends the limbs backward. The quantity of force that your fingers exert on the string once you’ve to force it all the means back is named the “draw weight.” The elastic or spring energy is currently “potential energy” that may be reborn into launching associate arrow after you…
