problem that results from the parking issue is students falling behind in class. Personally, I've been late to class multiple times because I've been stuck driving around in the parking garage for an hour or two. As a result, my ability to gain knowledge and stay up to speed with the course is hindered. Students miss lecture notes and key information that may be valuable for success in the class. In turn, this leads to unsatisfactory scores on tests and assignments. Parking should not be the…
We all currently live in the most technologically advanced eras we have ever seen, we have access to so much more information than any of our ancestors. We can find almost anything we can think of with a few clicks of a mouse. Now technology is evolving even further with the advancements of “Internet of Things” (IoT). The Internet of Things was a phrase that was coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999, to describe the system that real world objects could be connected to the internet by the use of sensors…
"Nice to meet you, Jonathan." I said in a way of greeting. Jonathan drove the vehicle to the W Hotel parking garage. Once we reached the third floor, a car came out of nowhere and blocked the path preventing any other vehicle from following us. Once on the fifth floor Roger yelled, "Get out of the car." As soon as we got out of the car, Roger grabbed my hand and rushed us out of the parking garage. The Hotel elevator was next to the exit door. We entered the hotel and hurried into the…
I believe that the differences in our responses to the performance task of taking care of ourselves, result from the way that we each see the tasks that fall under this category. I see these tasks as an opportunity to have some time to relax, either before I start my day or at the end of it, my father does anything expect relax when doing these tasks. He sees these tasks as time slots. When he needs to do these tasks that he already believes are unimportant, that he could be and should be doing…

Between third and fifth grade, my family and I moved from my childhood home, which my parents had owned together, to a duplex and then to an apartment. According to my mother, we moved because she needed a fresh start with her new husband. The last move placed me in a different school. I had been at my previous school, Heber Hunt, since kindergarten. At Heber Hunt, I had friends, I knew the teachers, and I felt comfortable. My classmates didn’t often focus on clothes or the stuff we had; we just…
In fact, Oedipa, the main character in The Crying of Lot 49, was trying to perceive and construct the world around a conspiracy, similar to how a television perceives the world in terms of image. Her actions fueled her desire to have the capacity to question and merge many aspects of the world together. Oedipa recognized that the world of The Crying of Lot 49 was fragmented. For example, she recognized in the novel that the world contained diverse groups…
he has an impulse to do “some kind of a wall-to-wall rewrite” (S.L., 3). To some extent, the ending of Gravity’s Rainbow is a rewrite of the ending of Crying of Lot 49. Although the same proliferation of options happens again at the end of Gravity’s Rainbow, the endings of these two novels are in fact drastically different. In Crying of Lot 49, Pynchon merely poses four possibilities of the nature of the predicament that Oedipa faces, which “she [does not] like any of them” (C.L., 141). Yet in…
the established way of life as a whole, and embraced the philosophy of meaninglessness and a rejection of the transcendental meta-narrative. This move has been fully expressed in Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose and Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49 in which both demonstrate a plethora of postmodern characteristics such as strategic use of allusion and irony, and clever employment of intertextuality; per contra, these similar attributes are structurally the same but…
