Echo

My memories are bleak, I have little recollection of the events that lead my friend, Montresor, to chain me within this recess. I remember I saw Montresor at the height of Carnival, dressed in a dark grey robe. I approached him, and he greeted me with a smile. I just assumed that he wasn’t mad about what I had said. This surprises me now, but then I had enough alcohol that it seemed as if everything were fine. After some conversation, he said that he received a pipe of amontillado, yet he didn’t…

I wake up the next day to Lefty stroking my hair. As I slowly open my eyes, I gaze up giving off a satisfied smile. “Good morning, Beautiful,” Lefty said as he leans in to kiss me. He places a gentle kiss on my lips as he asks, “how are you feeling this morning?” A faint laugh comes from me as I answer, “better now that I see you.” Lefty smirks as he settles himself back in the bed. He lays on his side face to face with me as he continues to run his fingers through my locks. I bring up my hand…

Echo is a beautifully crafted story filled with adventure, mystery, and a powerful sense of hope and heart. The story starts off with a little boy named Otto who encounters 3 sisters named Eins, Zwei, and Drei who are held under a spell. The only way for them to break this spell is for Otto to pass on a harmonica to the right person. When Otto sks the 3 siblings how he’d know, who is the right person, the sisters simply reply by saying “ You will know.”. The setting of the book, then changes to…

The Echo of the Digital Divide Before we may determine if online hate material may be regulated, we have to consider if the Internet can be sufficiently monitored in limiting the dissemination of hate speech. Despite attempts to embargo harassing transmissions in the form of filters, IPN bans, and reporting for content removal, the incongruities between international laws restrict the limitations invoked on actionable material. Web sites may proclude ‘fault lines’ by requiring the user, as a…

Echo intensity is commonly used to assess muscle quality as an outcome measure in muscle physiology research. Muscle quality is an indicator of overall functional capacity and is negatively correlated with echo intensity (Watanabe et al., 2013). Echo intensity is defined as the mean pixel intensity in the muscle and is determined by gray scale analysis using B-mode ultrasonography (US; Watanabe et al., 2013). Lean muscle has low echogenicity while muscle with higher amounts of fibrous and…

2A: The computing innovation that is represented by my computational artifact is the Amazon Echo. It serves as a home speaker/personal assistant. Coming in two different versions, the Amazon Echo or the Amazon Echo Dot, both home speakers can virtually turn any home into a smart home. This innovation takes the iPhone's “Siri” to another level by performing thousands of skills such as adjust your home’s temperature, play your favorite tunes, and even order a pizza. Just by simply using the sound…

In “An Echo Sonnet” by Robert Pack, the speaker, who is trying to write, is thinking to himself with his internal voice. The echo repeats the ending word of each sentence, but also sometimes changes returns a word that sounds similar to the previous word. Although the echo seems to be only repeating the voice, it reveals the subconscious thoughts of the speaker by altering the words. Pack utilizes the call and response format and changing sounds of the echo to convey purpose of artists, who…

The Wasp and the Echo: The Oneness with Everything In A Passage to India, E. M. Foster explores various conflicts between the Indian and the English in a dramatic setting. Foster is a master of realism; however, what walks side by side with the realistic plots like the trial and the friendship is the mysticism, which reflects Foster’s extraordinary ability to grasp the essence of the Oriental spirit. Realistic descriptions in many colonial literary works sometimes cannot suffice to present the…

I volunteered over night with my friend, Lauren, at the ECHO homeless shelter in Atascadero. Many students had negative comments on their volunteer experience, claiming that it was very boring and they felt as if they had not actually helped. Lauren and I took it upon ourselves to bring ice cream and water melon slices to pass out to the residents so we could introduce ourselves and establish a connection to hopefully avoid being bystanders like my other classmates. I was prepared to help the…

“Echo,” a poem by Christina Rossetti, reveals the universal longing for a loved one departed and the nature of one’s thoughts as they echo without a person on the other end to respond. The speaker in the poem, perhaps a woman, appears to have lost her lover to some kind of death. She wishes to be reunited with her lover, either in dreams, or in her own death. The speaker utilizes sestet stanza units, specific meter with metrical variations, and repetition to enact the experience of longing.…
