The theme of nature is effectively used to depict Cummings’ idea of transcendentalism in relation to childhood, self-discovery and new experiences. In the early nineteenth century, English literary works were greatly influenced by the Romantic Movement, where writers looked to nature for inspiration. Similarly Transcendentalist ideas were developed around the same time and are associated with the movement as well. A method Cummings uses to incorporate the idea of transcendentalism in his poetry…

Spongebob, a sponge, and his friends (other sea creatures), who live under the sea. Spongebob is portrayed as a happy and caring male character, breaking gender roles that men are not caring and compassionate. In the show, Spongebob and Patrick, a starfish and Spongebob’s best friend, are constantly playing unsafe games together. In the particular episode I viewed, Spongebob and Patrick played six games involving hurting one another physically, but this did not impact them in the cartoon. This…

Caden Hall-Cooke Ms. Marton Language Arts 7-5 16 November 2017 My Favorite Place is... My Favorite Place is Sea Aisle City, New Jersey. My family and I went to New Jersey in the beginning of July, 2016. It was a 12 hour drive, but before we got there, we stopped in Pittsburgh and that’s 5 hours away. We stayed with our grandparents, cousins, aunt, and uncle. The next day my family left and I left with my aunt and uncle with their two kids. We got in New Jersey at about midnight and my parents…

We walked towards our destination with excitement in our. We were surrounded by trees and other park visitors. I heard the sounds of the other visitors, laughing after having been on a rollercoaster, screaming of the ones going down a rollercoaster. I could smell the sweet candy and the salty french fries beckoning me to spend my money. I can feel the water drops of the impending rain storm hit my head. We got to our destination and put our supplies in a locker for safekeeping. Putting my phone…

The Leonardo and the Aquarium are both great museums, but there are many differences, while there are also many things in common. Today I will be comparing and contrasting the Leonardo and the Aquarium. These two museums are full of many fun things to do, Let's start with The Leonardo. The Leonardo is a large museum up in Salt Lake City. The exterior of this building looks very interesting. It has large flat pillar like structures panning around the building, some with interesting designs and…

When thinking back to my past, my favorite memory is my trip to Puerto Rico. I got to travel with some of my close friends and really cool adults. We were in Puerto Rico for seven days, and every single day I got to discover the culture and learn something new about the island and the people living on it. We were able to explore the nature there, try Puerto Rican foods, speak in Spanish, and tour historical sites. We left at four in the morning to board our plane. When we arrived on the island,…

overwhelming. Every time right before I jump in the water, I undergo a wave of excitement and thrill. The best sight I ever endured underwater was when I was diving in Grand Cayman with my father. We went swimming through caverns that were lined with starfish, coral, and crustaceans and ran into millions of silversides (schooling fish) just swimming along. The fish moved so swiftly according to our motions as if we were controlling them. The cavern must have been there for thousands of years and…

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Henry Dorely Zoo Aquarium. This aquarium, located in Omaha, Nebraska, may be just about as far away from the ocean as it gets, but thanks to taxes and donations, everyone in this land-locked region can get a look at coasts around the world. And because this particular aquarium is the largest aquarium found in a zoo, there is a lot to see. Featured here are eleven exhibits, including the Open Oceans exhibit, and a Cold Pacific Oceans exhibit, as well as the…

The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the most amazing natural and physical environments in America. Spanning from grassy fields up to the jagged mountains of the Cascades, down to the many islands in the waterways of Puget Sound. I am fortunate enough to call this land home. I have lived here my whole life and have no intention of leaving. For some it's a mountain conversely for some it's a tiny hole-in-the-wall coffee shop, a beach, a road, a bed, a view, a place to call their own, but for…

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system for most living things. There are only a few animals that do not have a brain like starfish or jellyfish. The brain is located in the head. It receives messages from other organs. The brain is the most complex organ. In a human, the cerebral cortex has more than a billion neurons. Each of these neurons are connected by synapses. These synapses are connected to several thousand other neurons. Neurons communicate with one…
