Newton! Newton is one of the most beautiful and calmest towns that I have ever lived in. It has the best restaurants and doughnuts! The town is also well taken care of and has great school districts along with many wonderful sports that start in middle school and are offered to the students. You don't see many run down buildings and all of the houses are nice and well taken care of. There are many wonderful reasons why you should move to Newton. First of all Newton is known for the the delicious doughnuts at Drubers. Yes, Newton does not have very many restaurants but the restaurants that we do have serve the best food. La Fiesta has very very tasty appetizers! The food is also to die for! Drubers Doughnuts has the best glazed doughnuts…

The role of Museum There are serval reasons that why people visit the museum. First, museums make people feels good. Not only there are lots of things that people can go and discover it, but also they can have a truly memorable experience with lots of happiness because they enjoy the time that they spent at the museum. Even though people do not like or interest in art or history, they can still find something that will grab their attention. For example, the museum usually has “interactive”…

The Smithsonian Museum is made up of nineteen museums spread out over an area in Washington DC. My favorite museum of all that we visited was the Air and Space Museum. Then my next favorite museum was the Udvar-Hadzy Center. At the Udvar-Hadzy Center it costed six dollars to take a test flight in a plane, which I found really outrageous because it was six dollars for a test flight for like five minutes. Although overall it was a really cool place to visit and I was blown away by how big some of…

University this fall and room with Penelope Smith. She has conducted multiple mastermind plans. She managed to steal an African princesses crown, sell it, convert the money into three different currencies, convert it back, and render it untraceable. She ghosted the stock market, which is illegal, and did quite a few other things. We need you to catch her doing something illegal, because we don’t have sufficient evidence to arrest her.” That was why Kate was attending Georgetown University with…

to choose the website that made me want to visit their museum the most, and compare and contrast it to the site that made me want to visit their museum the least. I planned to write about what attracted me to the museum that I wanted to visit and why I may not want to visit the museum that appealed the least to me. As I began viewing all the websites for the different museums, I did not expect there to be such a huge difference in the appearance and layout of the websites. After really digging…

A defining feature of any collection, whether it be of curiosities, natural specimens, art works, or other objects, is the presence of an underlying system of thought — an episteme — that shapes the way in which a collection grows and evolves. Differences in these epistemes can vary widely across the centuries, and the present paper will discuss the differences between two genres of cabinets: the Wunderkammern, or “cabinet of wonders”, of the 16th century during the Renaissance; and the…

One of the major ideas it seems Shelley attempts to assert through this novel is the danger of unchecked intellect. Since Frankenstein attains his problematic knowledge of natural philosophy on his own, he is not successfully checked in his actions by any other scholars or intellectual mentors who may have prevented him from taking his intellect too far. As a result, Frankenstein’s unfettered knowledge leads to a series of questionable choices ultimately leading to a destructive result. Most…

The W.M. Keck museum is Nevada’s second oldest museum. Founded in 1908, it has become a museum within a museum as many of the methods to display artifacts used in 1908 are still used today. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. A museum’s job is to allow for everyone to enjoy and to be inspired when they visit the museum. That is not an easy job as people experience museums differently and to be accommodating for everyone is difficult, especially for the Keck museum which is now constrained…

This gave him an opportunity to observe and study the wide range of natural phenomenons. These studies contributed to his theory on evolution. In 1837 Charles went to London to finish work on his Journal known as The Voyage of the Beagle. He arranged his collections of fossils and bugs and was impressed by the likenesses of the species showed. He studied all of the samples vigorously, down to every line, spot and, organ and noticed that each had developed in their own way from ancestors. Some of…

career. Based upon my interest in the natural world, my skills in mathematics and the natural sciences, and my creativity, I believe that I am suited to apply my abilities to create a career for myself in the field of environmental engineering. PERSONAL EVIDENCE Before one decides to pursue a career in any field, one must consider their personal interests, experiences, and motivations for participating in a field as well as the working conditions that they wish to have in their employment.…
