Based on the Article “California tries one solution to water problems-treating seawater” I think that California should not build this seawater plant. This is because it is too expensive, It doesn’t give us a lot of water, and It is harming our environment. The first reason why I think that California should not build this seawater plant is because it is too expensive. The text states “The project is expected to cost $1 billion.” This is a lot of money. The text also states that “Customers in…

Three inmates of the Alcatraz Prison escaped on June 11, 1962, and were said to have died in the frigid waters of the San Francisco Bay. Although there is evidence supporting that conclusion there is still no for sure explanation if they actually died or not. I think that they survived the escape because of their clever planning. They could of died but there is still no proof that they did. There is evidence that could help prove that they did survive. So did Frank Morris, along with John and…

In the great mystery about the Alcatraz escapees is one of the most creative jailbreaks of all time. The question is did they make it alive or did they die in the process? Based on the evidence I believe that they lived and that they escaped. I think that there plan worked. The first pieces of evidence comes from a video called “ did frank moore survive?” it says that there was a raft and footprints leading away from it on Angel Island.

Correctional Facility Paper: Alcatraz Elizabeth Phan Introduction to Corrections July 20, 2017 Look out onto the San Francisco Bay and you see a big rock that is approximately 22 acres with some abandoned architecture on it. Well, that there is Alcatraz Island. Before Alcatraz became the tourist attraction that we know of today, it was used differently throughout the course of California history.

In the book The Tree of Knowledge, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela explain this idea of perceived reality and the theory of the cognitive thought by breaking down the concepts of…

The Francisco Goya art piece I chose was Por que? (sic) [Why?] because it evoked the most emotion in me. Throughout the exhibit, there were many jarring pieces of art.
