Sonic Drive-In

“Then one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you,” stated Ewan Mcgregor. With every adventure comes a story, it might not always end how you want, but adventures create memories to never forget. A couple weeks ago a dear friend of mine and I had an all day adventure, spur of the moment but a day we’ll never forget. We took a road trip to Little Rock, attempted to take a nap, went to the gym and worked-out, then somehow ended up covered in mud from head-to-toe! One late…

going to the movies as a teenager. He went to the place he spoke highly of, the Dome Drive-in. As he was reminiscing of his younger days he said “we always, always went to the Dome Drive-in after football games on Friday nights, everybody was going to be there.” Carmike theater is a popular feature in Catawba County, a good place to go with your friends and/or girlfriend (Matt). Even though it is a much longer drive than his local theater the Big D draws people even from Burke County (Thomas).…

Robert Hayden’s sorrowful “Those Winter Sundays” demonstrates how the utilization of allusions, consonance, symbolism, and alliteration establish a dramatic and emotional effect. Beginning with the word “Sundays,” Hayden references Christianity, generating images of a resurrected son, sacrificed by his own father. Building upon the same tensions found in this familiar story, the speaker shares bittersweet remembrances of Sunday mornings with his father. Like the Christian story of God’s son…

come to mind because everyone knows that GM only makes big cars and trucks. Believe that and you deserve to be associated with the word “misinformed”. Chevrolet has been pumping out great small cars for the past three years in the form of Cruze, Sonic and now the 2013 Spark minicar. It’s about a foot and a half shorter than a Honda Fit. Spark could possibly be the best urban runabout sold in the states if you consider the word “value”. It’s more roomy, refined and useful than fortwo and iQ,…

Three…Two...One… Beep...Beep...Beep. My day starts off my my alarm clock waking me up at 7:20 and I press the snooze button so I can get an extra five minutes of sleep. Three...Two...One Beep...Beep...Beep turn off my alarm. I looked at my phone to see what time it is and it is 7:20. I stretch my body so I can get out of bed and then I rub my eyes to get the eye bugger out if I have any. Then I hop out of bed and put on my sandals. I open my door and walk down the stair slowly. While walking…

innovative idea, drive-thrus restaurants. These drive-thrus were absolutely covered with attention grabbers such as neon lights, flashy colors, distinct building structure and memorizable logos. These were all advertisement tricks to allure new customers and nine times out of ten they successfully worked. Carhops were also very vital to drive-thrus (there were so effective some restaurants even kept them ex. Sonic, Frisco's, Ruby’s, etc.). A few years later McDonald Brothers Bar Drive-In was…

truck. Little did I know I would hunt by myself and kill the biggest buck of my life! First thing in the morning we loaded our hunting gear into the truck and my dog, Cletus into the back. I buckled my seat belt as we pulled out of the driveway. The drive to Port Gibson was only two hours, but the excitement made it feel like all day. We finally arrived at deer camp after what seemed like an eternity. While Dad went to unlock…

noise-pollution level produced by high-speed trains due to the fact the trains ran through dense neighbourhoods and many tunnels. “As they drive through, air pressure builds up in waves and, when the nose emerges, can produce a shotgun-like thunderclap” (4). The loudest noise emerged of the trains from the tunnels on the line. This dynamic was so forceful that it was creating sonic booms that may lead to the residents, within an area of 400 meters away, suffer from intense headaches. From…

The field of engineering impacts our society in many, many ways. There are the most obvious impacts, technological and technical improvements (means of transportation, electronics, resource distributions services, et cetera), but there are impacts that may be somewhat vague, such as global and societal impacts. Both impacts must be weighted equally by the modern, citizen engineer. As an engineering student in southeast Ohio, one of the more recent and relevant examples of engineering impacting a…
