Easter egg

Also, on every Easter we had made sure to paint eggs the night before and on the 4th of July we go to see fireworks. My brother and I growing up also believed in Santa and the Easter Bunny. My family and I have many traditions, but these are just a few. Would I have still had these traditions if my family situation was different? Maybe I would have, but maybe I wouldn’t have. It’s possible that my parents may not have believed in letting us think there was such things as an Easter Bunny and…

one old lady who loved to decorate the front yard of her house. By decorate I mean completely go all out for every single holiday… Holidays I didn’t even know existed. She would put multiple mini statues of Easter bunnies, several lighted up Easter eggs, and my personal favorite the huge Easter bunny costume she stuffed with plastic bags and made it stand up like a scarecrow. Terrifying for a ten-year-old. Is it pretty easy to define what…

ever thought about making a contraption that protects eggs when dropped from ten feet? This machine can consist of popsicles, a maximum of ten balloons, a raw and hard boiled egg, as well as dixie cups, a small plastic bag, and glue. As a machine can protect an egg breaking on the ground, so can machines protect rovers when landed on a planet. Through viewing this, you can find out what type of machine my partner and I will use for our very own egg drop, and where you would see it contrasted in…

Friona has many unique events that distinguish us from the many other bijou towns all around it. There’s the cheeseburger festival, which, being the “cheeseburger capital of the Texas”, is a must. They have Maize Days to celebrate their community’s people and businesses. And then there’s Friona High School’s own Chieftain Challenge that, like its name states, challenges its students. The Chieftain Challenge began with a couple of students trying to come up with a good idea for their Family,…

The egg is composed of 5 parts. The outermost layer is the egg shell. It is made up of calcium. The next layer is the albumen, which is a thick white substance that holds the yolk, which is the yellow genetic material in the center of the egg. The air pocket on the wider end of the egg is known as the air cell and serves as the root to holding the yolk in place without spinning around. The final and most important part of the egg is the germinated spot that the chick…

Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis. We used 5…

“Mise Eire” Bringing Women into the World of Poetry Eavan Boland is known for her poetry being controversial. The subjects of her poems, most notably “Anorexia” and “In His Own Image”, a poem about spousal abuse, were not wildly discussed at the time of their publication, and Boland believed that this wasn’t right. Most of her poems were brash in their own ways, no hidden meanings behind her words, and meant for discussion. “Mise Eire” also has an important role to play in these…

Set in the Easter Rising, Sean O’Casey’s play, The Plough and the Stars, utilizes its setting to discuss the consequences of war and the idea of making a blood sacrifice for Irish independence. Prior its inception, Irish nationalist theatre consisted of works such as Cathleen Ni Houlihan by William Butler Yeats, which evokes a mythological sense of nationalist pride as it uses the figure of Sean-Bhean Bhocht, Poor Old Woman, who needs a young man to help her remove the invaders from her home,…

state of Ireland and its people. In W.B. Yeats’ poem, “September, 1913”, he emphasizes and expresses these opinions. Yeats stresses how nationalism can fuel Ireland, yet criticizes Ireland’s people for their greed and overwhelming self-interest. In “Easter, 1916”, though, Yeats shifts away from the people of Ireland, and instead summarizes the tension between Great Britain and Ireland. Yeats often brings up how the conflict has created “a terrible beauty”. While the people of Ireland are…
