Figure It Out

At the Penn Museum, I observed an Attic Red Figure Stamnos. The piece was created in Attica, Greece in approximately 490 B.C.E. and is attributed to the Kleophrades Painter. According to a publication by the Archaeological Institute of America, the Kleophrades painter was a prominent artist of Athenian vase painting. The Kleophrades painter, a name assigned to the artist because his true name remains unknown, has almost ninety works that have been attributed to him. Archaeologists and Art…

Policies are developed according to the changes in society, such as crime rates. Crime rates are recorded in crime surveys, like the Crime Survey for England and Wales, and some are conducted by institutions like the police. These official statistics can be factors in policy development, but unofficial statistics, such as those found in opinion polls and self-report surveys, can also shape the developments in policies. There are many ways that have been developed over the years to try to create…

I feel that I am very open to trying new experiences and have a very creative mind. However, on the personality test I scored relatively low in that section stating that I typically don’t seek out new experiences. I disagree with this because I am constantly looking for new ways to grow and learn. For example, with work, whenever my manager is seeking someone to take on a new task I am generally the first to volunteer. I am on the Health and…

I saw some of my classmates who were raised by single mothers, but the gravity of their situations never fully penetrated my psyche. I had no idea that so many may have envied the way I lived. I was always the odd man out, and I got used to that; further burying myself in books. I was good in school, so I kind of skated. I was smart and I knew it, and I leaned on that crutch. I did not have to work hard for anything in school. But if I had known then what I know now…

Considering Fun Home as a mystery novel, Bruce Bechdel’s death serves as the inciting incident which spurs Alison Bechdel to look through the “clues” -- memories, letters, photographs, etc. -- to formulate a judgment about her father’s life. Throughout the novel, it’s clear Alison’s relationship with her parents is tumultuous. Due to her father’s uptight, perfectionist nature, Bechdel finds it difficult to attain his approval and criticize him; moreover, she describes showing him affection “an…

up next on beam. “Up next on beam is Julianna Smith.” announced the announcer. My heart was pounding, my palms were sweaty, and stomach started hurting even more. I mounted on the beam. I did my first skill which was a back handspring step out, layout step out. I stuck it perfectly. I feel so confident when I’m on beam. This was the only time that I felt like I could do anything in the world and that was how I felt now. After I did my standing full twist, I knew all I had to do was stick my…

the question. Linette told me that she never felt like she was not equal when participating in the community (2017). Then continued to describe one of her songs “Boys Night Out”. When her husband, Ren, (the guitarist in the band) was getting ready to go out with some of his guy friends, Linette told him she was going to go out with them too. She then told me that she was just like one of the guys, treated equally (2017). Since it was not the first time that I heard a punk rock band say they have…

He says that “...they swim into a hole where there’s a lot of bananas. They're very ordinary-looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in they behave like pigs...after they eat so many bananas they can't get out of the banana hole..they die.”(pg.14). It is a very strange way to explain an imaginary fish that you just made up to a young child, it’s a rather sad and grim concept. Unless you look at the whole thing as a way for Seymour to express his complex thoughts…

of Foodservice Business research, it states “Indeed, the menu outlines your strategic marketing plan and serves as the first impression for a customer” (McCall 440).
