It is pouring rain and you are numb cold. Your face is grim. Thunder and lightning crack across the sky. Your hear a sound, louder than the thunder. A cannon flies through the air and with a thunderous sound, crashes down on the mud and dirt before you. You are safe, the walls of the earthworks you had helped build earlier are still holding together. You see another cannon fly through the air towards you, but the effect is no different. The walls are sturdy, they can be torn down by the cannons,…

writings that once existed on Socrates, only a few have actually survived entirely. One of them is a play written by Socrates’ contemporary Aristophanes on 423 BCE. In his comedy “The Clouds”, Aristophanes ridicules the character of Socrates on stage for all of Athens to see and enjoy. Despite the fact that “The Clouds” survived entirely, its reliability becomes complex and questionable due to the inconsistency with the writings of Socrates’ other contemporaries, as well as with the Athenian…

their long term memory. They can look at patterns they see over a weeks span, different types of clouds, temperature, and variation over time. Having students participate in an interactive activity like observing and recording, they will most likely always remember doing this because it is something different. Showing pictures on the Promethean board is much different than experiencing the weather, clouds, or climate…

turns out that Daisy and Gatsby were once in love, when they lived in Louisville (a Midwestern town, thus a signal of integrity in the novel). They still have feelings for one another. Daisy whispers to Gatsby, “I’d like to just get one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around” (p. 95). This absurd image of romance and escapism speaks of childhood. However, it also carries a certain gravity. Compared to Tom Buchanan’s hard preoccupation with money, and Gatsby’s friend…

The autumn breeze was cool against his skin as Steve walked through the numerous gravestones at Arlington. The grave stones were a light grey that looked less grim in the bright sunshine than they would have had it been a grey and dreary day. That was good though, because Steve had been aiming for a day that was bright and as cloudless as possible. The day didn’t have to be gloomy just because he was here to visit the graves of several of his old friends. Old friends that had passed on and left…

favor or overcome adversity by modifying customs and laws, whether it is for a noble cause, such as the American Revolution; or for a selfish purpose, like Strepsides does to avoid the debts in the Clouds. Aristophanes depicts the bizarre logic of characters like Socrates and Strepsides in the Clouds, a satirical comedy, to convey his animosity toward the new education along with its “Inferior Argument”, furthermore advocating an elimination of the new education. Some may assert that the issue…

other people or inform society with knowledge and to enhance it. He parallels Greek society with our future culture through the difficult parent-child relationship, along with the youth and elderly becoming a danger to society. In perspective, the Cloud exemplifies certain issues involve in American society. Many people refuse to examine certain beliefs like “the best interest” or “best moral” because they like to deny the truth like Strepsiades and his debts. They were given to him fair and…

Despondency The bitterly cold air is blasting into my face and the rain is clattering down onto my skin like thousands of bullets being shot at once. As Arthur and I dash through Deauville Avenue, goose bumps start racing on my limbs. My plump lips are turning blue like an afternoon sky. Inelegantly, I fall through the doors of a petite boutique determined to find something to keep me snug and warm. I catch a glimpse of a sleek, smooth, silky scarf. Flabbergasted, I stand in awe…Wow!…

of time, and the heavy rain will last for days without stopping. The after effects of the rain were all very difficulty because of the heavy humidity after the rain. The soaked soil will cause humid temperatures but without any disappearance of the clouds. Throughout the clip it showed how cloudy Costa Rica was even if it was not raining, but it was a warning sign of the heavy rains that were coming. Overall, the rain in Costa Rica seemed to be a drastic weather change with no warning of rain to…
