I would definitely say that this film broadened my understanding of the great depression in a way that a lecture never could. I have learned about the great depression many times throughout my education but I never realized how desperate these people really were. Tom and his family's trip is a great example of this. It amazed me that Tom’s entire family fit in a single car and drove across the country to look for work that wasn’t even guaranteed. Then the family found out, from a man in the…

Introduction In the present decade alone, there have been 47 oil spills around the world with at least 500,000 tons spilled. Many coastal economies are heavily dependent on ecosystem services such as tourism and fisheries. It is estimated that the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill will have caused the loss of $8.7 billion in revenue and 22,000 jobs for the commercial fishing industry in the Gulf. (Natural Resources Defense Council, 2015) New methods of preventing oil spills and reducing…

Being raised in a strict four person family, I have always been told what to do, what not to do, and to not stray from the right path. “Focus on your future, Bethany,” my mom would always tell me, and so I did. Focusing constantly on grades and schoolwork, I dared myself to make time for a social life, and instead, I became quiet and shy. I remained shy to the public for years until one traumatic day during my seventh grade year. This particular experience single handedly changed my future by…

Within novels, the incorporation of morals or events introduced in the initial sections throughout the remainder of the book is a common occurrence. This is evidenced within the pages of The Five People You Meet in Heaven, where the protagonist, Eddie, encounters Joseph Corvelzchik, often referred to as “The Blue Man”, who informs him of the interconnected nature of life, and how the notion of random acts is entirely inaccurate within the forty-eight page of the novel, where he states, “That…

A ball, and a feather dropped at the same height will hit the ground at the same time when placed in a vacuum space. This is because acceleration of motion is the same for both object, and in this experiment, we are going to calculate accelerated motion using inclined planes. In this experiment, we will see whether “distance traveled is directly proportional to the square of the time”, and “if speed of a falling object depend only on the height from which it falls”. This experiment will give us…
