Hard left

her body exposing both of her breasts. Her hair is up and she is wearing some sort of red cap. Her skin is fair and her cheeks are red. She is barefooted and is holding the French flag in the air in her right hand and a rifle with a bayonet in her left.

To the right of Lady Liberty is a young boy. His skin is darker…

material that makes me fully immersed in a flurry of vivid memories, I go down to my desk. Turn on the light. Every idea comes after several pages of sketches. Then, I move my step into the crazy maze of writing. First a right turn, Korean, and then a left, English. I find myself at a dead-end. Back track my steps and begin again. Twists and turns constantly leading my path, round and round in circles. Trying to find the right way. Some make it out but I am still fighting to find the right way…

In order to understand exactly what Left Ventricular Hypertrophy is, it is important to be able to break down the word. The prefix Hyper- means over or more, and the suffix -trophy means well-fed. Therefore, LVH is the thickening and/ or the enlargement of the left ventricle. Under normal conditions, the left ventricle of the heart is responsible for the big push that sends blood through the aorta and to the rest of the body (Sheir 2015, p.560). When the left ventricle becomes thickened, or…

Directly in front of our battalion (regiment?) there were one or two German battalions (regiments?). On our right was a _______ of Prussian Guards and on our left a Saxon _______. On Christmas morning, some of our fellows shouted across to them saying that if they would not fire, our chaps would meet them halfway between the trenches and spend Christmas Day as friends.

Then as Devon, Ethan, and Anthony go in they are…

Each of the letters (a,b,c, and d) represents a particular condition. The stimuli were randomized so that no one participant saw more than one condition per set. For example, participant 1 would see (1a, 2b, 3c, 4d, 5a, etc.) and participant 2 would see (1b, 2c, 3d, 4a, 5b, etc.). This sequence was continued for each of the 24 participants. This way, there was an even number of judgements across conditions for each participant. In addition, fillers were used to ensure that participants…

When observing the core issues in politics, the majority of society is either moving to the extreme left or moving to the extreme right on issues, such as, gay marriage, abortion, global…

the article, Caffeine Improves Left Hemisphere Processing of Positive Words written by Lars Kuchinke and Vanessa Lux (2012) hypothesized the “link between the left hemisphere (LH) will have a positive advantage in emotional word recognition” (p. 2). The increased dopamine in the brain and caffeine administered is anticipated to increase word recognition by enhancing the process of positive words by the effects of caffeine. This study help others’ understand how the left hemisphere processes and…

In the midst of the trees on campus stand two intimidating creatures lurking. Two aggressive and tense looking panthers lock eyes as one guard its prey from the other. The muscles are represented realistically and dramatically throughout the shoulder, back and thighs. The heads are locked together in a chilling stare. The panther guards a deer while another panther approaches on a higher rock seeking the other panther’s prize. These animals appear to be on the verge of battle for the prey.…
