Crawling

Our Story Our story begins in 1986. Jim Mundt, a McCall smokejumper, spent countless hours that season on hands and knees crawling through the ashes on mostly cold lightning fires to ensure that they were completely extinguished: a technique known as cold trailing. Discouraged by the tedious task, Jim had the idea of a heat sensor at the tip of a 4 foot pole that would make the discomfort of bare handed cold trailing a thing of the past. The following season, Jim left the jumpers and began…

eat the dead flesh where gangrene-causing bacteria thrive. They also excrete compounds that are lethal to bacteria they don't happen to swallow. Meanwhile, they ignore live flesh, and in fact, give it a gentle growth-stimulating massage simply by crawling over it. When they metamorphose into flies, they leave without a trace—although in the process, they might upset the hospital staff as they squirm around in a live patient. When sulfa drugs, the first antibiotics, emerged around the time of…

Last night was my worth night ever. I could barely get to sleep. My brains were repeating the same PPT slide show of the best I saw. Jack held up a meeting in the morning saying I am a coward. He’d then start talking about building his own tribe. Anyone who’d like to join his tribe is welcomed. Yeah! Go take those boys! I am sick and tired of this group! Let me see what kind of group that you will become later on! Go! Leave me alone! I don't want to see you anymore! I am going to work with Piggy…

I had an opportunity to observe a 9-month old boy for about an hour in the infant’s home. I went over around nine in the morning. When I arrived at their home, the infant was crawling around on the floor. The mother approached me with the father and mentioned her child started teething this week, therefore he may be a little fussy at times. He immediately approached me with a big smile on his face. I asked the parents if it would be okay for me to record the child, so I could take more detailed…

Sophocles. There are many examples of anger during the play that eventually help to lead to the demise of the ruler of Thebes, Creon. Creon struggles with his anger multiple times throughout the play, such as when Creon said to his niece, “You crawling viper! Lurking in my house to suck my blood! Two traitors unbeknown plotting against my throne.” (Sophocles 395) Creon is fuming at his nieces and making assumptions about Ismene and Antigone such as that they are plotting to take his throne. In…

Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver came out at just the right time; a year after the end of the Vietnam War. America was disenthralled with life, we were no longer considered a moralistic and trusted country that we were once apt to be. Taxi Driver psychologically deciphers the fractures left by the soldiers who came home from the Vietnam War; they have experienced things that have turned them alienated to their natural environment. Travis Bickle is its subject and his journey is a personal one;…

Grappling with my guilty conscience, the looming thought of death urged me to warn Elizabeth. My mind recalls…

“Nothing, in this film, symbolizes anything” (Buñuel). Both Dali and Buñuel strived to have no image or idea in the film, Un Chien Andalou, have any logical or rational explanation. However, when you break up what Buñuel says you can argue that “nothing” stands for all the images and ideas in the film that to one represent nothing logical or rational, and these images can “symbolize anything” to the individual. When making this film, Buñuel’s intentions were to astound and offend the bourgeois…
