an essential. Nearly every drinking beverage in America contains caffeine such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks. As Gladwell mentions the growth of caffeine, it has become one of the most useful/common drugs. Caffeine has become addictive to the point where everyday working people rely on the usage of caffeine to continue their performance while keeping focus on what they are assigned to do. Moreover,…

After the extraction, recrystallization, and determination of melting points for the unknown compound #4 were performed, and observations were noted, the results were obtained. The two compounds yielded were 4-tert-butyl phenol and triphenylamine. The masses obtained of each compound were 0.071g and 0.298g. The melting point ranges obtained are as follows; for the first the solid started to melt at 94 ˚C and was completely melted at 98˚C, and for the second the solid started to melt at 115 ˚C…

Woodrow Wilson proposed his resolution to World War I known as “Wilson’s 14 points” during the Treaty of Versailles. Wilson’s ideas and his “14 points” were shut down by the other countries’ representatives during this peace meeting. While a majority of the Allied members favored the traditional punishment for Germany and her Allies, Woodrow Wilson was more forgiving toward Germany saying “Victory would mean peace forced upon a loser, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be…

I work up early on a low-pressures, and luminous day, and got up and unblemished the house to make it look like a brand new shoe. This about the first time I rode a roller coaster at Mall of America. Walking to Mall of America the wind was characteristic with joy of wonder inside my ear. When I arrived the amusement park was voluminous like the inside of an mansion. Entering the amusement park I decided which roller coaster to ride. Love is a roller coaster because of the unbalance emotion you…

The sixteenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book by the title of “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because the book has taught me that the little things around us can make a big difference. The seventeenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book called Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because it shows how many people who live in the U.S work full-time are receiving poverty- level wages and the…

sarcastically. The last major obstacle was "the dirt bike hills". They were small, but they could upset you more than the other obstacles. I was screaming, "Wheeeee!"at the top of my lungs for the rest of the ride. When we pulled into the starting point, I was panting like a dog. Right after we climbed out of the roller coaster, I ran over to look at the pictures. The rest of my family walked over to the pictures to look at them with me. I cracked up at my brother's and dad's picture. Right…

Malcolm Gladwell's article, “Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted,” is a rhetorically successful argument that depicts why social media is not an effective tool in organizing social or political activism. Social media was just rising in popularity and worldly politics were tense at the time, so Gladwell had a wide audience of readers. In his article, Gladwell describes multiple examples of protests that had no means of social media during these events. Consequently, these…

Overcoming Roller Coasters Everyone has an experience in their lifetime where they had certain expectations going into something, based on someone else’s thoughts or opinions that happened to be completely wrong. Sometimes it makes the experience better, sometimes worse. I personally had an event be completely different than my mind set, but in my case it was truly for the better. When I was in elementary school, my mother went on about the horrors of roller coasters, mainly ranting about news…

The roller coaster: a device that has been around since the early 17th century. It has immensely changed since it’s origins though. Its size, shape, structure, and overall look has developed into what we know and (for some) love today. Its gargantuan size originated from a way of ice sledding, believe it or not. Though it looks very different today, the first design was only a slide, on an icy path. Even back then though it was not one for changes. Soon after the first invention of the roller…
