priest. Had died in the back drawing room. Air, musty from having been long enclosed, hung in all the rooms, and the waste room behind the kitchen was littered with old useless papers.” (19) We see Joyce mention a priest who had passed and left an odor long after. The “Air, musty having long enclosed” makes it seem like he was left alone to his own dealings where no one would find him, a man alone with his thoughts. The air “hung in all the rooms” as if a ghost was lingering around, giving the…

Can you imagine what it would be like to not be able to smell anything? Research shows that many people take their sense of smell for granted and would likely not consider losing it as a catastrophic thing. However, if you stop and think about how much of your daily life involves smell, it actually could be a terrible loss. Smell effects our emotions, our moods, enhances (or sometimes detracts from) our atmosphere, and most importantly, our sense of smell has a great deal to do with our sense…

were able to discriminate more mixtures than the men and hence the researchers received a data set that contained a huge range. In addition to that, the study used 17 females but only 9 males and since females are shown to be better at discriminating odors; it is likely that the researchers received majority of their values on the higher end of the spectrum due to more female participants and fewer on the lower range. Thus, their calculated average of humans being able to discriminate 1.72×1012…

American Freedom American freedom is something that we can see, smell, and even hear through many different mediums. It is not just an idea but a real concept that is represented by many different people and symbols throughout American history.

American freedom cannot be seen but it does have many major symbols that…

young men leaving. The essence is its own presence since it’s only noticed just after an individual passes by. Then there are hints of life and activity nearby because gradually, there’s a smoky whiff detected from a pit close by that evolves into the odor of meaty, juicy ribs being cooked. To say there’s only life when humans are involved, however, would be denying that occasional breeze and even the warm smell the waves of heat give off. Though all seems calm, these little acts of nature…

Although almost ten years have passed by, I can vividly remember the day I moved into my house. I remember walking in and inhaling the fresh smell of cinnamon potpourri from the moment I entered. Dancing across my nose, the smell of cinnamon made me feel at home; it reminded me of the times I would bake apple pie with my sister at my old house. The sweet yet spicy fragrance gave me a sense of safety and comfort even though I was in a completely different territory. Not long after, I had…

The film adaptation of the novel Perfume: The Story of a Murderer directed by Tom Tykwer did a great job in resembling the novel. I felt that the film followed the novel closely, which really helped me understand the story better. Reading the novel is helpful to understand the film because the novel is the original story/script. When novels are adapted into screenplays, the writer has to do what is best for the film, which can result in the writer cutting out or changing certain things like:…

unaware of any surroundings besides the scent of semi-processed hemp. The section between my forehead and temple was throbbing with an unusual pattern of pain. It was unbelievable that one’s nose, and body, would soon adapt to such undermining of an odor. After a few moments of mere unconsciousness, my senses collaborated together and the world was beginning to take shape. I remembered that I was here to learn my new trade of rope making from my master, Samuel Gray. Other than his name, I only…

One of my exceptionally most loved spots to go in my extra time is the shoreline. A shoreline is a national geographic nature made landform that is almost a waterway. It normally comprises of free particles, which are as often as possible made out of sand, rock, shingle, stones, or cobblestones. The particles living on a shoreline are every so often natural to the causes, for example, mollusk shells or coralline green growth. Shorelines normally show up around territories along the drift where…
