Oh thank the Lord above! It was finally over. Getting those colorful and very annoying little squares off my choppers means a new age for me! No more of the dumb nicknames. No more Railroad Tracks, Steel Smile, or Metal Mouth. Those idiots in me class can’t call me that anymore. Three years of being slave to the orthodontists’ antics. Three years of middle school finally behind me. Three years that became the most awkward era of my life are in the past. People say that going through puberty…

The Smirx was supposed to stay hidden, but was recovered by local archaeologists mining for ancient artifacts. The archeologist was Brett Herman, a graduate at Harvard University who recovered other ancient artifacts around the Earth. Brett revealed it to the world; everyone was astounded. Since he was so rich, he lived in a huge mansion in Italy that even the president couldn’t afford…

you know who my father is?” In defense, the movie depicts society’s inclusiveness and pluralism by including Dionne’s Afro-Americanism, and the prevalence of varied ethnic groups such as the Asian, and Middle Eastern extras.

This is because oxygen needs to gain two electrons to become like neon and hydrogen needs to gain one electron to become like helium so they share electrons for each hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom ‘consider’ that they have achieved the noble gas configuration. This covalent bond forms a bent shape in order to share the necessary electrons. Water has many unique properties, one of…

because they no longer wanted to be restricted by whatever their producers or the public thought The Beatles were or should be. This glam element is present in their album cover and promotional art for the Sgt. Pepper album which features the fab four in neon colored, military inspired suits. David Bowie is an performer who took this idea and ran with it. Bowie changed his style and sound almost every album allowing himself to explore whatever musical avenue he pleased. This eccohed the secually…

one is not a doctor and the other is a domestic abuse victim. As oppressed minorities both should understand how offensive their statements would be to each other. Madison’s performance of Smart People also tried to offer transitions with music and neon light projections that took away from the message of the play. I believe the flashing images…

It opens the door to creativity, in-depth thinking, and teaches you to be open-minded. When working with non-print texts you become more creative. A lot of the times there is no…

The first book that was ever read to me in the English language was called “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” --the book that allowed me to become the person I am today. Can you believe that?
