Snowflake

The mask that I made for this class is a play on the transformation masks of the Kwakiutl tribe in the Northwest Cost of North America. The masks of the Kwakiutl tribes would represent an animal and would open up into a mask of a human. When dancers where wearing the masks they would be transformed into the animal they were representing. I decided to make a mask that on the outside was a sleeping person but on the inside would show the different personalities. The different symbols inside the…

Scene one(exposition): As the snowflakes fall onto my face I continue to walk to my home with my friend Georgia when we suddenly hear a screaming burglary alarm going off. I rushed over to the nearby house to discover a broken window I tried to pick up some of the glass but sliced my finger like an onion whiles doing so. Georgia and I continued to the front of the house to go inside and see what was going on when "thump,thump,thump" we heard footsteps. We ran to the back to catch the stranger…

Sun shining overhead, the sound of waves gently rushing ashore, the slightly salty smell of the ocean, and the feel of my toes in the sand – this was what I had been anxiously awaiting for weeks. Spring break in Florida was an amazing seven days! Since my parents retired and bought a house in Florida, they have been spending their winters soaking up the sun, while the rest of us stay here in Kansas and suffer through the long, cold, dreary season. This year my kids and I were able to visit over…

In the poem “I am Going to Start Living like a Mystic” Edward Hirsch describes his view of his natural surroundings as he walks around a park. A walk through the natural world could be like a pilgrimage as stated by Edward Hirsch. Looking at the trees, the sky, the snow, and all the beauty that nature has to offer, as a human one wonders and expands upon his or her idea of nature and its tangible limitations. However, at the same time one may lose focus and fall into delusion, as the human heart…

My first experience of snow was like a snow globe, except it seemed whoever was shaking it wasn’t going to stop. Snow Globes are a model of a scene surrounded by particles of fake, white matter resembling snow, but when shaken it turns to a magnificent snowstorm. While I have many snow globes at my house collected from my childhood, this was the first one I was in. I think a lot about the countless times my dad has told me of stories of his childhood. His numerous adventures of snow days,…

I think I read this book in a span of two days. TWO DAYS! In a book nerd's dictionary, that's pretty much a synonym for "SO KICK-ASS I FLEW THROUGH THE PAGES", and no, it's not just because of the cover, which I agree is absolutely mesmerizing. To be honest, this is my first book by this author (I had wanted to read SEKRET before, but I haven't gotten the chance to buy it yet... a travesty, I know, don't remind me), so I didn't know what quite to expect. Would it be purple-prose-y? Would it be…

watch us my team was pretty excited for this game. The game started off with a roaring screech from the whistle. Already I could tell that this game would require a lot of determination.Throughout the whole game the score was back to back. Snowflake would be up a couple of points then Alchesay. Being the very aggressive player I was I jumped up to get the rebound. As soon as I felt the ball touch my hands I turned around to take the ball back to our basket. Then something…

patriotism to show the love in Christmas and winter. Patriotism is when advertisers use products to show the love and support of their country. For example in this ad, Nexium shows a picture of a woman in a winter spirit and holding a plate of snowflake cookies. This ad expresses the theme of Christmas and winter. Winter is a time of a year where everyone looks forward to. It is also the time of the year where Christmas comes, many people have a break and enjoy the holiday with…

science is a brilliant masterpiece that explores the adversity of human error inside of the popular subject. One major myth that is debunked within the documentary, is fingerprints. Everyone is raised with the idea that our fingerprints are like snowflakes, not one is the same. However, looking at the case of the Madrid Bomber and Brandon Mayfield, who was so wrongfully indicted of the bombing because his fingerprints matched the ones at the scene. In the end, the fingerprint analysis had shown…

Have you ever dreamed of going to a state where the trees are green all year long, and during winter, the ground is covered with sparkling snowflakes? Well, then Washington is the place for you, with the perfect climate for skiers, snowboarders, and even snowmen builders, or in the summer, a beautiful pool to relax in, while being bronzed by the late summer sun. Granted statehood in 1889, Washington state was named in honor of George Washington; it is the only U.S. state to be named after a…
