Some may say in an unbearable voice, “Writing is so boring! I don 't want to write, be creative, or write essays about any historical event.” I was not surrounded by many lovers of writing growing up. That is why I appreciate writing as much as I do. It is the sense of being unique and not following the crowd of literacy haters that gave me my gratitude. It is a way to transform my inner thoughts into something worthy of pen and paper. From little jots about cats and dogs from my youthful days…

The task in which I was given was to create a presentation, using Microsoft PowerPoint 2013, to advertise The Redhill Academy. The information given to us was that the presentation was for an adult audience, and that we could not use any of the pre-set templates in the software. To begin with, I decided to create a design for my presentation. I did this as I wanted my presentation to look consistent and professional. I used the Slide Master feature in PowerPoint to create the design as it meant…

From 1914-1918 America was struck with fear and anger, as WW1 was laying waste and destruction though out the world. In 1917 the United States entered WW1 fighting against Germany, causing many men to be drafted or pressured into volunteering to protect the country. Many propaganda posters at this time were emerging to get more men to enlist. Harry Hoops created one of the most capturing propaganda poster of the time titled Destroy this Mad Brute Enlist. The image depicts a large gorilla…

EXT. DOWNTOWN SEATTLE – DAY A couple walks alongside a busy road, both man and woman looking straight ahead. The man, THOMAS, is a tall, lanky man. His hair is gelled up and he has generic work clothes on, along with carrying a suitcase in his left hand and a fedora hanging from a finger. The woman, JACKIE, only a few inches shorter, is skinny with extremely long hair. Sunglass hold her hair from falling onto her face. She is carrying a large book under her right arm. The book thumps down…

This morning, king Charles (The townspeople and farmers refer to him informally as Charlie or KC) received word that a fire-snorting dragon was again terrorizing the countryside. The monster is scaring the people of his kingdom, and several of the farmers have left their land. He summoned his legion of knights and advisors to the castle for a meeting. Once before the king sent the royal knights to stop the giant lizard from roaming the lowlands and raising havoc in the kingdom. But…

An artist’s job is to depict a story, or emotions, through their piece of work. Every viewer may feel differently towards a piece of work because it may portray a different meaning for everyone. Donatello’s David and Bernini’s David, are based on the same biblical story, however, they capture David at two different moments, making the viewers have different emotions towards each work. Even works that are based on the same story, can make the viewers feel different emotions due to the pieces…

When you consider the thousands of years between the first lutes and modern lutes, it’s actually quite remarkable how similar the lutes of the past are to more recent lutes (like the guitar and orchestral strings). We can learn a lot about Greco-Roman lutes by looking at their predecessors and descendants. The lute spread much like languages do. Just as regional dialects develop, so, it appears, did lute preferences. The lute did not develop linearly from Mesopotamia, through Greece, and…

The experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of one’s ability to balance and walk on a 2x4 platform that is approximately 332cm or 11ft long, while blindfolded. It is known that vision impairment is associated with poor balance. We predicted that the subjects that were blindfolded will have poor balance and will not be able to walk very far on the 2x4 platform. In this experiment we had a total of eight (8) test subjects. First we allowed 4 individuals to walk the 2x4 without a…

Fill the Shoes- Mr. Cunningham The moment everyone anticipated was before us. The sound of the gavel striking the wood filled the courtroom, it rang in my ears like a fire alarm. The decision was announced. The verdict was ruled guilty, with sweaty palms and shaking legs I stood up with the feeling that my heart had dropped into my stomach. I couldn’t begin to make sense of the arousing situation around me. Each step I forcefully took, I contemplated the case in my mind. Everyone around me was…

“Do you think this is a Galra ship?” Keith asked; he was looking for any Galra that could pop up. He had his red bayard in his hands, his grip tightened around the handle. He was watching, waiting. Expecting anything to attack them. It made him uneasy that no one emerged. There was only silence. “Doubtful.” Shiro answered. He could sense that Keith was uneasy; so he rests his hand on Keith’s shoulders in a soothing manner, “It doesn’t have the usual Galra insignia on it.” “Not to mention that…
