Prague Spring

The chapter “...So Does Season” from How Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster demonstrates the use of season associating with characters and the setting. As said by Foster, spring is associated with “childhood and youth” (186) because of the new birth of flowers and nature; however, the birth of Frankenstein’s creation takes on the day of a “dreary night of November” (Shelley, 56). This quotes foreshadows hardships on the life of the creature because of the on a “dreary night”…

According to the International Snowmobiler Manufacturers Association, the average age of a snowmobiler is 44 years old, and there are over 3,000 snowmobile clubs worldwide involved in trail grooming and family activities (Snowmobiling). From the day I was born, I have been a part of a local snowmobile club because of my parents’ love and commitment for the sport. With over 3,000 active snowmobile clubs worldwide and at least 250 in Minnesota, there is the opportunity to become involved, but the…

Biology Field Study Draft Part A Bulimba Creek is a perennial stream located in the eastern and south-eastern areas of Brisbane (Committee, 2016). The creek covers an area of 122 square kilometres and runs through 20 of Brisbane’s southern and eastern suburbs as it makes its way towards the Brisbane River (Committee, 2016). As a result of the creek covering such a large area, Bulimba Creek is a very important part of Brisbane’s ecosystem and society. Although Bulimba Creek is a part of…

with the green leaf clothes, based off of this I believe that the main focal point is the head. Each of the plants and flowers that make up the sculpture are very realistic and life like. The negative space around the flowers and plants that make up springs face make them look even more realistic. Both sides of the face are fairly symmetrical. The lines that make up the sculpture are curved and arced creating a graceful but also intense energy. The sculpture as a hold is still, but the plants…

Blackstone Lake began in the late 1880s with the arrival of the Conger Lumber Company. Once the commercially viable pine had been fully exploited the process of stripping hemlock trees of their bark for the leather tanning process began on the lake in the spring of 1900. At the time the Rankin Bros., headed by James Rankin on Blackstone, were supplying the Conger Lumber Co. Another sawmill operator in the region was the Mitchell Lumber Co. set up by Thomas Mitchell in 1898 (later this would…

Description of area: Larchwood Lake can be found in central New York, outside of Laurens New York. Buried in the woods, Larchwood Lake was a Boy Scout camp in the early 1960’s. Around 1988 the Boy Scouts sold the land to residents creating the Larchwood Lake Homeowners Association. The lake was manually increased to twice its size. Today the lake has a long almost swan like shape. According to The Biological Field Station Larchwood Lake is “near pristine.” The lake is not that deep, it has a…

cozy themselves like if they were next to a warm fireplace. The boisterous sound of your father yelling, “go Eagles” at the television fills your eardrums. Ah, fall is upon us. There’s nothing that is quite comparable to fall: winter, summer, and spring always try to curtail fall’s reign of dominance, but their attempts always seem to fall short. Therefore, fall is undoubtedly the superior season because of its perfect weather, beautiful environment, and the fact that it hosts football.…

most part in the other states, but Oklahoma is one of the areas where their territories overlap. Today, Henry is standing in the middle of the news station. He is surrounded by shiny equipment and metal desks. Winter, Summer, Spring, and Fall are gathered close. Although Spring is notorious for his tornadoes, all of them, including Henry, have stormy expressions. I carry Henry's coffee across the expanse of hardwood floor and finally get within earshot of the conversation. It's my first time…

Long ago in a very large marsh there lived a community of frogs, there was also one toad who lived there to, no one liked the toad and no one treated her fairly because she had warts all over her body, the frogs would always tease and make fun of her for being the only toad in the marsh. The toad had grown up in this marsh so she never met another one of her kind and she had always wanted to, she wanted to move and go find other toads to live with but the marsh was surrounded by a large dry…

Title: Ecological Interactions of Living Organisms in Beaver Creek Statement of the Problem: How do the organisms in Beaver Creek interact with the biotic and abiotic portions of the ecosystem? The sample was taken from Beaver Creek (a tributary of Tookany Creek) in Glenside, Montgomery County, PA. The pH of the creek was 5.5, and the stream velocity was detectable (greater or equal to walking speed). In the area of collection, the stream width was one meter and the depth was 14 cm. There…
