Scotch

In his letter, Crevecoeur defines this “promiscuous breed” of people now called Americans as “a mixture of English, Scotch, Irish, French, Dutch, Germans, and Swedes,” objectively highlighting the many nationalities from which Americans are descended (443). He further elucidates his claim by stating that this race of people are either European or of European descent,…

Helvetica is an internationally known, widely used sans serif typeface developed by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger (1910-1980) and co-developed by Eduard Hoffman at the Haas type foundry in Munchenstein, Switzerland owned by Linotype. The steadily popular typeface was officially released in 1957 under the name ‘Die Neue Haas Grotesk’. The original name was kept until 1960, and was changed to Helvetica (Latin for Swiss) by a marketing manager within the company due to expressing their…

The conclusion of World War I signified the beginning of an era of great material wealth and newfound prosperity in America. Such conditions provided the platform on which the social class of “new” money was built during the 1920s. The rising class of “new” money greatly contrasted with the aristocrats of society, who had inherited the prosperity of their ancestors and had never known the economic struggles of the average person. The juxtaposition between these two classes is eloquently conveyed…

scene in the movie where Mr. Ebbs forces himself on to Patsey and she beings to cry. As a result of their relationship, Mrs. Ebbs, Mr. Ebbs’ legal wife, began to treat Patsey horribly. Two cases of this are when Mrs. Ebbs throws a glass bottle of scotch at Patsey’s head, and when Mrs. Ebbs withheld most necessities, like soap, from Patsey in an attempt to punish her for her actions. The sexual advances of the masters, onto their slaves, made the women slaves fearful for their lives. They…

pointed. Numbers and amendments have dependably been a huge figure my life. Instead of running and playing with my companions at the play area, I invested the lion 's share of my energy in move class. Moving to me was more significant than playing jump scotch with companions on the walkway; it was immaculate satisfaction, even at four years of age. Lamentably, what each artist must take in can 't be grasped from a course book; it is increased through understanding and battles. Envision move as…

Crevecoeur’s Letters from an American Farmer. I enjoy reading stories that relate to American pride and patriotism. It had held for hundreds of years as the glue bonding this country together. In his story, Crevecoeur talks of a “mixture of English, Scotch, Irish, French, Dutch, Germans, and Swedes” that would become a “race now called Americans” (What is an American). This description of the American melting pot stands to describe the most ethnically diverse country in…

For a long time people have clashed over food and health. Is it our responsibility to make sure we eat a healthy diet or does that responsibility fall on the shoulders of others? Radley Balko and David Zinczekonov hold conflicting opinions on this subject. Zinczekonov, the author of the essay, Don't Blame the Eater, believes that fast food is at fault for people's unhealthy eating habits, while Balko, the author of the essay, What You Eat is Your Business, believes people are accountable for…

To clean the wells, we used diluted 7X detergent, we rinsed them with high purity water and methanol, blotted them dry with lens paper. The wells were then assembled by sticking and removing a piece of scotch tape from each face of the well and then sticking the well to glass coverslips. While the wells were being cleaned and assembled the dilution team diluted the Texas Red labeled anti-biotin antibody into five different 70 µL solutions with concentrations…

his life forever and caused him great sorrow, this is similar to the narrator in “An Ounce of Cure” whose experience with alcohol didn’t go that well either. In the story the narrator is babysitting for one of her neighbors and finds some rye and scotch on the counter. She knew that she shouldn’t drink that much especially considering she is from a small town and everybody would know. But she goes ahead and pours her two glasses. But her being naive with alcohol caused her to pour far too much…
