Hearing Rod Sterling’s comments were extremely helpful. After watching my first episode of the Twilight Zone with my Dad a few years ago, I always wondered where the ideas for The Twilight Zone spawned. Thus, when the students asked the question, “Where do ideas come from?” I was delighted to hear Sterling’s answer. His answer was quite profound. Sterling simply answered that ideas come from “one’s experiences.” I thoroughly enjoyed how he showed that story is personal and comes from the…

composer wrote the piece. Piazolla is a big fan of using the guitar to play a rhythm on the body of the guitar. The flute for the most part is always playing lyrically and with as much musicality as possible. The use of vibrato and body movements was key in order for the musicians to really let us know the mood of the piece. The piece…

film made from digital bits. With computer technology now available to filmmakers, this tool finally gave them what they needed to match their imagination. They had new qualities to work with such as wireframe, which is a digital base almost like a skeleton, that aids in texture mapping. In this process they add surface qualities to the wireframe to create an image. Using all these qualities, new techniques, months of work, and hundreds of hours on the computer converting all the math involved…

Because everyone differs from one another, each person’s opinions and interpretations of everyday events will vary based on how the information is perceived. These differences are especially noticed when reading and analyzing works of literature. Poems, for example, often lead to an audience with very different interpretations of the meaning being conveyed. Although Natasha Trethewey’s poem, “Artifact,” is a rather simply structured and straightforward poem, the connotations of the diction can…

Charles Darwin is a scientist that came up with the theory of natural selection to explain variation and evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype (Zimmer&Emlen, 2013). This means that in an environment where the condition is constantly changing, species that stay in that environment and use it as their habitat adapt to the changes of the environment to survive the changes and their off springs are also able to…

dangerous passes, within the safer boundaries of the more ancient settlements, armies larger than those that had often disposed of the scepters of the mother countries were seen to bury themselves in these forests, whence they rarely returned but in skeleton bands that were haggard with care or dejected by defeat. Though the arts of peace were unknown to this fatal region, its forests were alive with men; its shades and glens rang with the sounds of martial music, and the echoes of its mountains…
