Holden had a child-like curiosity about where the ducks go. “Well, you know the ducks that swim around in it? In the springtime and all? Do you happen to know where they go in the wintertime, by any chance?.....”The ducks. Do you know by any chance? I mean does somebody come around in a truck or something and take them away?” ( Salinger 81+81) When Holden was younger he always wondered…

John Badgerow, in his article An analysis of function in the formation flight of Canada geese, experimentally validates two proposed ideas explaining collective movement among geese. The first hypothesis, energy conservation in flight, originates from aerodynamic formations of other species and states that group flight is more efficient than solitary flight in terms of expended energy. The second proposition, orientation communication between individuals, predicts that formations arise from the…

tried to find references that substantiated and bolstered the points I made in Midterm Paper 1. I found eight references that were suitable for further investigation: Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, Nicholas Malebranche, the Hays office, Donald Duck, Charlie Chaplin (especially A Woman of Paris), Franz Werfel, surrealism, and Mickey Mouse. After some thought and deliberation, I decided that Donald…

Some Things Are Done With Passion As I read the article “A Nice Business Built on Being Nice” by Edith Hill Updike, I felt a strong connection with Andrew Wilson, the owner of the Boston Duck Tours. It is obvious from the article that Wilson is very passionate about his job. Passion is the key that makes his job successful, and employees motivated. People that run businesses to succeed based on financial gain cannot always understand people like Wilson. I can relate to this because I was the…

pot on the makeshift stove. "You'll find out soon. Now go change! It must be hot in that coat." Shou laughed and headed to their bedroom. Once inside, he removed the sack from his coat, freeing the duckling and letting it walk around the bed. The duck took a few steps and quaked softly before sitting down and falling asleep. "Shou? Are you done? The food's ready." his wife, Jun, called from the kitchen. The man stole one last glance at the sleeping animal before walking to the table. His…

You don't even have a bill like us. You can talk with us when your cool.” Platypus was shocked. He couldn't believe he wasn't cool. “I’ll get a bill” platypus told himself “no matter what.” Platypus went on shore and thought how he could get a bill. “Hey you” platypus heard.…

They also lived underwater. So one afternoon after a particularly hard day for Evan he decided he was going to make a robot so fun that all the kids in the neighborhood would have to be his friend. It took him awhile but finally he decided to make a duck robot, one that had blue eyes and a orange beak with red feathers. After 16 days he had finally done it! He made the duckbot but thought to himself, what are people going to say about just one duckbot? That wasn’t fun enough, he needed…
