Ferris wheel

Hello name’s Cameron, Cameron sydnor and I used to work at a nuclear facility . The chernobyl nuclear disaster was a terrible event, yet very few people actually know the backstory of the plant. Despite the story being fairly interesting. For example did you before the meltdown the leader of the facility once said “the chance of a full scale meltdown is one in a million” clearly this man cannot see the future or else he would have said (scream this) “OH NO THE PLANT IS GOING DOWN WE ARE ALL…

~Sticking to the Script~ I. Felicitous I let out a long sigh as I walked along the beach’s crowded boardwalk, alone. Johanna, my twenty-four year old sister, had pulled me here an hour earlier to have a fun night together (her words, not mine). I was honestly just as happy, if not more, to sit home and do absolutely nothing but lay across my bed eating pizza without any human interactions. I was going to save my social tolerance for her wedding in half a week, but I…

This very informative source touches many different subjects of amusement parks, stemming from historical aspects to what an amusement park encompasses. Right off the bat, Alter argues that…

Nationals. I went to Bubba Gump Shrimp to eat, then to Harry Caray's bar to sit down and watch the World Cup games. It was full of really cool, old baseball artifacts, and had a little souvenir shop which i got a Harry Caray shirt at. I rode a ferris wheel, played putt-putt, and rode a slingshot. Went to this pizza place and I had the best meat lover’s pizza i’ve ever had. It was thick crust, extra sauce, tons of meat and topped of with some cheese but not a lot. To top it off we went to watch…

Quoted by George Orwell, authors write to “desire push the world in a certain direction, to alter other people’s ideas of the kind of society that they should strive after.” It is human nature to achieve an idealistic community, being essentially the “best of the best” as societies progress in history. Erik Carson also implements this as a purpose in his book The Devil in the White City. He described the events before and leading up to the creation of the 1893 World World’s Fair in Chicago led…

heard a walking cane. He furrowed his brows as he looked over to see a man in his mid fifties, he shook his head as he made his way back to his seat by the window. He pulled out his laptop, the newspaper add seemed to need a new repairman, the ferris wheel had seemed to stop. The old man coughed, then released a raspy laugh, looking at the boy. “You believe that no man is available to fix it?” He sat in front of him. The boy looked at him, pondering his answer, “Eh, I guess some are unsure what…

Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City is a contribution to the remembrance of the historical significance the world’s fair had on cities and the overall American way of life. Lasting only 6 months, the fair had an impressive impact on the entire world. Placing itself in direct competition with France, who had hosted the fair a few years earlier, Chicago had America’s reputation in its hands. Larson’s novel follows the short-lived exposition highlighting not only how it came to life, but what…

Additionally, another example of imagery can be seen in The Third Man when Martin met Lime on the Ferris wheel. Both men were on the wheel as it slowly turns moving to the top, giving the illusion of drama and terror approaching around the corner. The wheel reaching the top symbolized the ending was near for Lime and symbolic of him needing to pay for his transgression. The wheel going downward represented the story coming full circle, as it predicted Limes’s death, who was unable to escape…
