Float

going to the beach in floaties and a inflatable tube around my waist. I thought this would be something good to try out due to the fact that our social norms tell us that only little kids that don’t know how to swim wear these to float. But why couldn’t a older person wear floats? So the violation of this norm is having a older person go to the beach covered in floaters. As I got to the beach I didn’t have the floaties on me but I had them in my backpack, as I pulled them out and started…

The Dionysian and the Apollonian in The Night of the Hunter When a story-teller or artist wants to bring the audience into an unfamiliar world, they may employ some classical ways of storytelling to ease the audience in. They may use Dionysian themes to present an Apollonian story to the audience. Charles Laughton’s The Night of the Hunter is a great example of a film doing this. The events that take place in Charles Laughton’s The Night of the Hunter are those of pure horror, it is a story…

When one of the girls mentions, in lines 11 to 13, “I don’t see why God doesn’t just come down and kiss her himself,” and in lines 25 to 28, “ I wish we could walk into that garden and pick an X-ray to float on.” These words may sound like a simple, even childish talk between two girls. They are questioning and imagining things that are unlikely to happen, such as a God sweeping down to kiss someone or floating an X-ray. However, in my perspective, these…

In Chapter Five of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald uses symbolism with colors and weather to convey the intensity of Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship.

In the current healthcare setting that this writer feels would be beneficial for all involved to create a standardized form for bedside reporting. With that being said, the writer is a float nurse at the hospital and works in each department. There is no standardization as to how bedside report is given and each unit different with several viewpoints as to what is relevant or irrelevant. The current policy in the organization is that all direct care staff will do bedside reporting, give a two to…

"The Getaway", "Dark Necessities" and " We Turn Red" feels as if they could float in the evening air as you head out for fun, while "Encore" "The Hunter" and " Dreams of the Samurai” feel like the late night cool down. For those looking for something a little harder, dig in to the dark but energetic "Detroit", a track with a Jane’s…

Drones. Helicopters. Quadcopters. They all have to do with aerospace engineering. The first quadcopter was made in 2008 (Brain,2015). Aerospace engineering is a great career pathway for people who enjoy spacecraft and aircraft. Some questions people have about aerospace engineering are; “What is aerospace engineering? How can you become an aerospace engineer? What are a couple good colleges to go to for aerospace engineering? Why do people want to become aerospace engineers?” All of these…

spot were a stack of rocks. They were silhouetted in the twilight and I could almost believe it were a person standing with me. The rocks and I would nearly always stay at the site until dawn. Just us. Feeling the reborn sun on our backs as it would float into the atmosphere once more. Autumn was the season of rust. The colours of red and orange completely took over Dartmoor, and were all you could see for miles. It was a complete mistake when I came across another of my favourite views. The…

cloth from my pants and wound them around my bare feet. I made each movement slowly and deliberately, trying to regain my composure. After a few moments, I stood and ran for the glimmering water in the distance. If I could make the river, I could float downstream to camp; if I made it to the river, I would live. As I sprinted into the distance, I heard a noise and I looked behind me. Far up the hill I could see blue…
