Snaps

On Wednesday, 9/7/16, UNCW held its ‘Concert on the Commons Series. I had the opportunity to enjoy this event during my lunch break between classes at the fisher center. The ‘Naughty Feats’ were preforming down at the amphitheater. During most of the concerts they sung covers and towards the middle of the concert they began to show some of their original works. They were pretty enjoyable. I am not certain if they were a well know small local band or if they were just a student band that formed…

Growing up is bittersweet and it’s not just the things you read about in your biology textbook. It’s not sepia, not dull and faded and it’s not quite black and white either, nothing about it is that easy. Growing up is the deep purples and soft browns. It’s the scars from falling off your bike. It’s the smell of your bookshelf and the dark grey clouds that linger outside and sometimes inside. It’s about learning to let go, and how to hold on. There is always fear there, the fear of growing up,…

Jacques Louis David was both a genuine artist as well as an apologist and propagandist for violence. Genuine means to be actual, real, or true and David’s art displays this well. David wanted France to snap out of its slow decline into decadence and instead enter a golden age. He believed France could achieve this by striving to be more like the Roman republic. At first, he stood by the side of the royal family, even offering to paint portraits of them. However, when the revolution began to take…

Raising the Minimum Wage in America Millions of American employees are working countless hours every week to earn inadequate wages that result in many families to live in poverty or depending on paycheck to paycheck. Bernie Sanders has the right approach when he quotes, “the current federal minimum wage is a starvation wage.” It is time for a change so the American population needs better wages, the American population should increase the minimum wage to benefit every American business and the…

The instruments present all belong to the String family; Cello, Violin, Viola and the Double Bass are all present in the Scene. This creates a very peculiar sound, no Brass instruments to create the usual ‘Noise’ affiliated with action and no Woodwind to soften the sound and calm things down. The sound is very rough, the high, screeching Violins create excitement as the action becomes more frenzied, so do the Violins. Each knife blow is accompanied by ‘screams’ by the high violins. This goes on…

create up to 140,000 new jobs. OxFam also explained that low-wage workers obtain about $243 billion a year in federal benefits. “45 percent of America’s 10 million restaurant workers rely on government assistance, and 32 million low-wage workers use SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, popularly known as food stamps)” (OxFam, 2014). They go…

In the article I read it talked about how the House of Representatives just passed a bill that would cut the food stamp budget by 40 billion over the next five years. SNAP is the actually problem most people call it food stamps, so for this paper I will refer to it as food stamps as not to confuse anyone. This bill would also improve the requirements that people need to meet to gain food stamps by elimination so called “loop holes” in the system. Ever since the depression and The New Deal social…

The fishing line you use in freshwater cannot do well when you’re out in the ocean. This realization hit me one time I got invited to a saltwater adventure. As this body of water is practically endless, the fish have varying weights. They can be as long as your thumb or as heavy as a toddler. You can never assume the size you’ll catch, but you bet I didn’t get any when I took the line for lakes that day. This is enough reason for you to learn how to select a saltwater fishing line properly.…

offense get ten yard penalty or the spot of the foul, whichever is further from the line of scrimmage. There are also defensive penalties. Encroachment is called when a defensive player crosses the neutral zone and contacts an offensive player before the snap. If encroachment is called, the defense gets penalized for five yards. When a defensive player makes a significant contact with a receiver who is five yards past the line of scrimmage and the QB is in the pocket, it is called illegal…

Walter is very lonely and is overwhelmed when he snaps back to his real life. He is not very good at anything like driving or remembering what his wife told him to do. This may be because these are very ordinary things and Walter seems bored with that lifestyle. When Walter daydreams, he dreams of exciting…
