The theater buzzes with energy and excitement, magic flowing throughout the room for the first time in five years as Eddie Redmayne appears on the silver screen. The crowd roars to life as four men from Baltimore take the stage, a sight I have waited to see so long that it nearly brings me to tears. The world of the Norse Gods springs to life as I join the teenage demigod Magnus Chase on another death-defying adventure. A sea of blue and gold overtakes Rider Stadium on a beautiful June day, and…
Experimental At the outset of the experiment, the available food dyes were identified as: FD&C Blue #1 FD&C Blue #2 FD&C Green #3 FD&C Red #3 FD&C Red #40 FD&C Yellow #5 FD&C Yellow #6 Given that the food dye was of a purple color, a hypothesis was formed that the color profile contained either FD&C blue #1 or blue #2 and red #3 or red #40. To determine which dyes were present, a spectroscopic reading was taken of the purple Gatorade using an Ocean Optics Spectrometer, connected to a…
On December 25, 2017, I received a Genuine Dickies work coat, registered identification 123187, at the Wal-Mart Supercenter at 1601 Albert Pike Road in Hot Springs. The coat was large and gray with black inner lining and sold for $29.97 plus tax. This entire line of jackets appears to be defective, and I have already returned two of them and now the third coat is falling apart. This product was given to me as a gift, and I do not have the receipt. I had worn the first coat for less than three…
interesting and less annoying to look at. There are many colors: Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, and so forth. We use these colors for drawing, coloring, printing on the computer, watching tv shows, and playing video games. My experiment is, “Does color affect test scores?”. How I am going to do this experiment is I will first collect supplies and participants for the experiment. Then, I will make the tests on white, red, and yellow paper. Next, I will have the participants take the…

Flames rushed skyward from a structure less than a mile away across the sagebrush. At the height of another dry desert summer in July 2013, Chris Tucs, a novice member of Carson, New Mexico’s volunteer fire department, was working in the yard of his off-grid home when he saw the blaze. He threw a few shovels into the back of his truck, hitched up a trailer loaded with 300 gallons of water, and sped to the scene, looking up from navigating the ruts in the road to see flames shooting through the…
Marissa Woo Ms. Barwise ENG 111 12 October 2016 The Red Effect You scroll through the emoji list on your phone for the salsa dancing lady in a red dress. Why are you using this emoji? Do you like red dresses? Does the dancing lady symbolize how you see yourself? Does she represent how you’re feeling? Perhaps she represents how you wish to see yourself, or how you hope others perceive you. In her poem “What Do Women Want,” Kim Addonizio uses a red dress to symbolically communicate her desire…
"What are you still doing in bed?" The woman throws open the curtains letting the blinding sunlight fill the room. "Just leave me I don't want to see anyone today" I pull the blankets over my head to escape the bright light. "You have already missed breakfast and everyone is wondering were you are" she says pulling the blankets from my hand and throwing them to the foot of the bed "Now come on, get up" she walks over to the wardrobe and pulls out a simple blue and white dress that Sansa had made…
Exquisite Adversity His blue striped tie rested against the navy silk-like dress shirt he chose to dress himself in for the occasion. The color complimented his combed red hair as it shined, more so from the sun, while its natural state was a shade darker. He had tucked the tails of his shirt into a pair of black dress pants held on his hips by a black belt accenting the shined black shoes that put the final touch to his attire. The cuffs on his sleeves were buttoned, and the collar of his…
Candy canes are not only a sweet treat, but a symbol of Christ and Christmas time. Candy canes have been displayed and eaten at Christmas for decades, but their origin can be more difficult to decipher. Christianity has played a large role in the symbolism of the candy cane, but much of the candy’s history is too uncertain to fully know the truth. The first account of anything resembling the traditional candy cane lies in Germany around 1670. A choirmaster wanted to create something that…
