Most people have experienced feeling out of sync when traveling. This off-kilter sensation is attributed to the individual’s internal clock not coinciding with the real time of their new environment, thereby interfering with proper wake and sleep cycles. A person’s internal time piece is extremely miniscule, the “size of a grain of rice” and resides near the merging point of the optic nerves. Light taken in through the eyes signals the release of diverse hormones, which in turn coordinates…

When the ebony clock rang, it made everyone turn pale and freeze. Poe mentioned, “Its pendulum swung to and fro with a dull, heavy, monotonous clang…and there was a brief disconcert of the whole gay company... while the chimes of the clock yet rang, it was observed that the giddiest grew pale” (2). Since the ebony clock was so monotonous, it created an eerie presence that made everyone pale, it’s quite mysterious because an ebony clock shouldn't make anyone scared. Moreover…

Fitzgerald uses the character of Gatsby and his “extraordinary gift for hope” (P. 2), to display how hope can turn a reality into an illusion, much like Daisy and Tom’s seemingly perfect life - due to their money - is really an illusion to mask their “vast carelessness” (P. 190) and unhappy lives.

I knew that I had to play at the highest level I could to win, which meant excellent execution and communication with my team.

students how to read time in a clock. Then she showed the students two paintings by different artist so the students can create their own clock. I really liked watching the students’ outcome, as I saw that every student were very created with their own clock. In her lesson, I liked the variability of artwork outcomes as they all expressed their own creativity when completing their artwork. Moreover, I feel that all the students will have fun making and decorating a clock at their own…

Throughout Auden’s work, the poet explores subjects which refer to the complexity of being human such as suffering. Indeed, in the majority of the poems we have studied, Auden links pain that comes from being human to love, time, war and religion. Still, in other poems, Auden emphasizes the necessity of moving on a difficult position. As a consequence, I will examine to what extent Auden explores the suffering that comes from being human in his poems. Firstly, Auden uses unrequited love to…

rise, sleep, eat which regulates many physiological processes. The internal body clock is affected by cues. Like sunrise and temperature. According to Professor Russell Foster in 2007, an Oxford University Neurologist said that student would gain more if their classes start in the afternoon. Forcing a student who arrives in the morning could be a result of poor memory and stress.

Swoosh, the ball went through the net. As we were warming up for a tough semifinal game against our rival New Berlin Eisenhower to get to the championship game against Beaver Dam The horn blows and we go to our benches, time for a pep talk. My mind reminds me that before warm ups every other team didn't believe in us, they had all said to us… “Of course you're not going to win…” but I knew we still had a chance. Our coach say “okay, Hanke you are face guarding Nikki and Kelly you're…
