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…

As I moved into middle school there was something missing. A huge part of my life that had been there forever was gone. It was like a huge hole was taken out of me. For the first time in my life, I did not have recess. A wonderful time to spend with friends, to hang out, and to have fun. Recess is such an abbreviated period of time, but everyday I remember waiting to run outside and play around with my friends. Once we got outside I was ecstatic, and wanted to run, jump, and talk to friends.…

It is very important for historians to be cautious when they analyze primary sources. It is crucial to review the context carefully in order to try to discover the original meaning and theme of the source. I reviewed three images that were prominent to me and did my best to incorporate the context while analyzing the images. The first image is titled, “A cheife Herowans wife of Pomeoc, and her daughter of the age of 8 or 10 years." (Theodore de Bry's Engravings). This piece shows a glimpse into…

Process information: Interpret and discriminate Mrs. Checketts’s paper thin skin is observed. Normal skin varies in thickness from 0.2 to 1.5 mm depending on individual’s age (Estes 2013). As the skin ages, the thickness of the dermis decreases and becomes translucent due to loss of the rete pegs (McCance & Huether 2010), Mrs.Checkett’s thin skin is therefore a normal biological process and an anticipated age related change. A small pressure injury is noticed on Mrs. Checketts’s coccyx.…

Primary sources add a different point of view for historical events. With a first-hand account it is easier for a reader to understand more clearly from someone who was present. A secondary source states the event in a more informational way that does not depict as much of a personal emotion. Both documents are valuable and it is important to acknowledge the importance of seeing both primary and secondary documents on a subject. Without primary documents we may end up with a lack of detail and…

Ugh, will this day ever end? Sweetie Belle thought, laying her head on her desk. It had been a usual day at school for her. She didn't like going to school, she would rather go out crusading with Scootaloo and Applebloom. But she needed her education to graduate school, so she sighed and tried to pay attention. Cheerilee was talking about something from the Gryffindor war in 1849 against Ponyville. As Cheerilee was going on and on about the subject, Sweetie Belle couldn’t help but stare at a…

I always felt like reading was a waste of time unless it was something very interesting. I always loved reading stories with topics about history, romance, twisted stories about death and other things. I was sitting in the hard, black school chair when Ms. Seitz came in the warm, cozy classroom flipping her orange hair. We have this daily routine where we go over the agenda and announcements. I was sitting beside my classmate, Javier, when Ms. Seitz, with a smile on her face, announced that…

Saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the local columnar cactus of the very few that is found in Tucson, Arizona. These giant cactus can grow between 14 m to over 20 m while weighing over 3200 lbs. These cactus are heavy because of a desert adaptation which allows them to retain water by expanding its core. This allows the species to survive the extreme hot and dry summer conditions of the Sonoran Desert. However, this cactus doesn’t have high fitness in the cold conditions, so the…

Lexi's reading interests include, fantasy, horror, humor, and as she says,…

“I don’t know how it works, but it works.” Inadvertently, lead singer Millie Perks perfectly encapsulates the essence of emerging Gold Coast indie-rock band IVEY. Nominally, Millie is referring to the intricacies of IVEY’s song writing process; offering a mere throwaway line, before providing deeper analysis. However, underlying this, she indicates something far more resonant. She’s right, IVEY are a paradox, and yet incredibly simple. Ostensibly, their prosperity seems unlikely, having to…
