Siren

Have you ever noticed that alarm clocks never come with the option of sirens for your daily wake-up call? Perhaps this is for good reason - I do not recommend it to anyone on any occasion. On November 1st, 2003, I was abruptly awakened by the horrifying sound of sirens, a sound that did nothing but put a deep pit in my stomach as I crawled out of bed that Saturday morning.

Well, then his father Zeus destroys his ship in a sea storm. When he escapes from the sirens and his entire crew was killed. These where all indicators that Odysseus…

2016. Nervousness griped my heart harder than my younger brother who was gripping hand so tightly that I was sure his knuckles were whiter than ebony. We were sitting in the back of my aunts small car as we drove silently through the streets with sirens blaring, and police lights all round. We slowly worked our way through the city going through seemingly every single back alley in Dallas. My Aunt and my Grandparents were thinking so hard on finding a way back to the hotel and to total safety, I…

We're driving to Tenaha to go see my aunt, because my dad hasn't seen her over two years.

Few historical events have created a symbol so impacting on the American psyche as the Arizona Memorial. Americans over the last few decades have taken the pilgrimage on the Navy launch taking them there. Let’s review how it happened. Ensign Parker held the Jeep as he bounced around the wet and muddy road to Opana Point, with Captain Smith and Ensign Jones, to reach the Army radar site. The Commander dropped the Ensigns at their destination, saying he will be back with their relief at 8:00am. It…

This government regulation is the context that creates the affection of ability to act. The story showed that the action can be affected by the context of the story, especially the insanity or the…

around to see where it came from to ensure safety. Furthermore, a sudden change, contrast or movement in stimuli will also catch our attention. In particular, repetitive stimuli often draw our attention. Flashing lights, ringing telephone, whirring siren, and chiming doorbell are some examples of stimuli we often attend to (Brignall, 2015). Size will also have an impact on selective perception. Kshitij Anand (2012) states that “the size of the object or stimulus…
