Magnifying glass

poetry develops through repeated exposure to books and daily opportunities to hear stories read or told, and to choose, handle and look at books for oneself. A book that draws upon the child's own background of experience is something like a magnifying glass as it focuses on and enlarges one aspect from among the multitude of experiences in which the child is involved. Thus, carefully selected books can deepen and enlarge a child's perception and understanding of himself and of What he sees and…

The romantic novel, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was written to expose the major flaws of the puritan society, the most prominent being their blatant hypocrisy. Hawthorne creates traits of dishonesty and fraud in many of his characters but presents one in particular to highlight these weaknesses in all the others: Mistress Hibbins, “the bitter-tempered widow of the magistrate” (I:49) and the witch of Boston. Hibbins’ primary functions in the novel are to reveal to the reader what…

An Austrian Jew Physician Eduard Bloch had treated Hitler childhood until youth, however, he also treated Hitler's mother Klara Hitler when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Bloch tried everything to save Klara, but she eventually died. This moment was supposedly when Hitler began to start his anti-Semitic view. [Though, I found it strange that later during Hitler's reign that he protected Bloch after Anschluss and he called him a 'noble Jew'. Probably because he took care of Hitler.]…

A mole could be seen as ugly, while someone else sees it as a beauty mark. Man and science is usually a good thing when it comes to better health and longer life. However, the outside should not be looked at with a magnifying glass, but instead be taken at a glance. When a person looks at a painting they don’t get so close that they cannot enjoy the full picture, but rather they stand at a distant to soak it all in. The same is true of a person’s outward beauty, you should…

Exposure to most of the traumatic life experiences that have whittled away at some of my peers has, thankfully, evaded me; however, even subtle experiences can revolutionize a previously held belief. I have learned to not ever take an experience for granted and learn from each of my mistakes. Each and every person only has one life to live on earth; why waste something so precious by making the same mistakes? As a child I was forced to grow up rapidly. Responsibility, maturity, discipline, and…

Psychology Today also touches on the idea of cultural integration in its 2008 article, “Plight of the Little Emperors.” Almost every Chinese child grows up under the the metaphorical magnifying glass of their parents. At the earlier stages of childhood, they are unaware of what they are being trained to be, a student at a high level university. Then, when they reach their adolescence they’re thrown into the world of the National College Entrance…

the most active people online. “Sadists just want to have fun . . . and the Internet is their playground!” Overall in this article, you can see how much they put into emphasis that knowing more, means liking less. Social media puts you on a magnifying glass, everyone has the capability to see what you post and you have the incapability to remove it completely. They continue to say constantly that social media was suppose to help people understand and be more compassionate with people, but…

officer walks up to a car, asks for license and registration, and when not given (or presented with questions as to why this is happening), pulls out his gun and pulls the trigger. Stories like this (Ferguson) horrify the public and create a magnifying glass of the imbalance the criminal justice system supports. Many officers, like you stated in your discussion piece, pull over and arrest people of color simply because it is easy. According to the Department of Justice, African Americans are…

reinforce our judgment but does not help make it more accurate. Gladwell explains that better judgments can be executed from simplicity and frugality of information. If the big picture is clear enough to decide, then decide from this without using a magnifying…

slowed down so much, then the arrow would appear to be at rest. However, Zeno did not have the technology to do that, so with the theory of time being slowed down so far that the arrow would appear to be motionless at the human eye, if one had a magnifying glass to zoom in on the arrow’s head, the arrow would appear to be moving. There would be no way to make the arrow appear to not be moving, unless it is with a photo, and even then, the arrow would be blurry because it is in fact moving.…
