Sociology is used and related to many different shows, books, and movies, but I’m specifically going to be writing about how sociology is related to the book The Lord of the Flies by William Golding. This novel is taken place during World War II, when a plane crashes on a remote island trying to leave Britain for safety, filled with a small group of schoolboys that become the only survivors. The boys’ struggle to find a way of existing in a community with no rules. Who is the leader? What are…
In architecture and civil engineering, sustainability plays a main role. All buildings and any construction could be potentially dangerous if they were built or designed in an inappropriate way. All structures and designs have to be safe and stable to prevent the fatal catastrophe of failing construction. The construction of any large objects, such as shopping centers, cathedrals, bridges, and other usually takes a lot of time. There are many forces that affect the designed construction and…
The modernist era of poetry usually carries the theme of disillusionment, hopelessness, and a generally depressing depiction of life. Louise Bogan’s “Night” takes on a different theme of hope and contentment, despite the irony of the title. Using a variety of literary techniques, from natural symbols to personification, Bogan effectively creates a poem commenting on how life goes on after we are gone but it will still be beautiful and there is still hope. Despite being included as a modern poet…
that pressure. The battles were long and gruesome, especially if the soldiers had low stores of necessities like food and water. Poor quality food along with worn out barrels of the batteries led to death that could have been avoided. Sometimes the shells launched on the German side would hit friendly troops. This lead to fear of that…
The shrieking sirens pierce my ears; the shrill of wailing shells torment my mind, as the rifles’ metal shells puncture my home. I run outside to witness the invasion of hell. Ten thousand strong soldiers approach in battle formations, no remorse, no pity, no heart for even the innocent, who took no part. Only the corpses of wives and husbands and children left in their footsteps. Their treacherous steel contraptions, firing ever more shells upon our small village. My father begins to yell to…
Skating My Way When will we get there? I think over and over again while closing my eyes, listening to the noises. Hearing engines flying across the roaring road. For when we get there I’ll be able to hear the loud music and the wheels move across the floor as people skate. Me I can’t skate at all unless you can count hanging onto the walls skating. As we finally get there I see someone that I would’ve never expected to see. A girl my age with a bob-cut and hot pink highlights. “Hey…
As the Earth goes through time, we began to see that the species that were developing were slowly evolving into the modern day turtles that we see now. They began to lose their rough scaly shell with the N. argentina and the N.oweni and began to develop a more smooth texture, needed for swimming. This is where we discover the genus Meiolania (“small roamer”). The species within Meiolania have been known to be on earth until about 2000-3000 years ago living between the Oligocene-Holocene eras and…

Some were already orange.that day was so fun. I was on a fieldtrip to Atwood. on my second day there we went to the kishwaukee river to test the river's…
in society. So in fact that would mean the servants are of higher rank than say a merchant or fisher. The royal female’s narrow green coffin artifacts are of a white painted black stone on their feet, green flowered urn to hold grave goods, colored shell & starfish ornaments, popcorn kernels, gemstones and round, ruffled silver bracelets. The thirteen markers of a royal female. Except her urn is the wrong color and she had fish, which indicates royal males. She is missing her body and her head…
The full life span of this turtle is unknown. (NOAA, 2014) The Olive Ridley was named after its olive green, heart shaped shell. (Olive Ridley Project) Hatchlings appear as black with green hues on their sides and then later develop their nice olive tone. Olive Ridleys have 5-9 costal scutes (this separates them from the Kemp’s Ridley) and they have 1-2 claws on their flippers…
