Straight edge

When thinking about M.C. Escher’s work, one would think of geometrical birds flying across the print with a landscape shown underneath, cubes and spheres overlapping one another, and weird surreal prints of inverted architecture. That is because he is most famous for his mathematical tessellations, which are tiling shapes overlapping one another creating a pattern that could be endless. Instead of just using any old shape, he used animals and other objects that made it more difficult for him to…

I realized where I had run too. Above me were towering trees, grown in a way so a little path was made. Following this path, I was lead to a small clearing shaped in a circular pattern. Collapsing into one of the bountiful bushes that littered the edge of the clearing, my emotions broke loose as I cried my heart out. Suddenly, I saw a flash of motion on one of the trees. Assuming it was an animal, I stifled a scream as I tried to hide. I closed my eyes in terror, tensing up. The sound of…

realizes that he needs to mature, and growing up isn’t as scary as he had originally thought. He walks around the lake a few times, trying his hardest to find any signs of the ducks. When he doesn’t see any ducks, he tries harder and goes near the water’s edge to try to find them. He “damn near fell in once, in fact”(154).Which shows his determination to find the ducks and that he will not rest until he finds an answer to his question. His determination is a complete attitude change from before…

I believe that men and women should not play sports together. Every person has had a time in their life when they had an argument about which gender is better. On a playground in grade school every child has been in an argument saying “boys and girls drool” or vice versa. In this day and age those same kids have grown up and women have gain equal rights with men which they deserve. There’s an argument saying that men and women should be playing sports together as well. However, there are a lot…

Individual versus Society The Encyclopedia of American Social History, reflects on the conformist culture in the nineteen-fifties as “The conformity and blandness that troubled social critics like Riesman and Mills became the target of a small but influential cadre of 1950s humorists, novelists, and poets who formed the vanguard of a counterculture that in the next decade would become much more influential” ("The Postwar Period Through the 1950s,” 1933). Ken Kessey, author of One Flew Over the…

majority of materials, for instance it can cu though timber and woods and many more materials. Another advantage of using a band saw is that it is equipped with a miter gauge and a rip fence and many more, as these features would help you to make a straight cut when needed. A band saw contains narrow blades as that would be a major advantage because it will help to reduce waste, as a wider blade would give a lot of wastage because it would eat more materials. Disadvantages of the bandsaw One…

thought to have been rolled the paint in rather than paint out as it was moved from Ferrara to Rome in 1598 explaining vertical cracking in the paint. Looking closely at the painting cracking is visible, notably on the right hand side and near the edges. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the work was cleaned with an old-style varnish that before long had darkened the work with a yellow tone, leading to a further cleaning in the mid-nineteenth century. The most important and discussed…

While designing any aerodynamic body an unspoken assumption of bilateral or mirror symmetry is taken into consideration. Argument against this bilateral symmetry states that “once the velocity of sound is exceeded, the laws of aerodynamics change in such a way as to make it seem inadvisable to arrange the components of an airplane side by side or abreast in a supersonic stream unless there are compelling reasons for such an arrangement.“ 2.1.1 Wave Drag This type of drag is formed as a result…

Moving barns wasn’t exactly ideal for me, especially considering that the one we were moving from was only 12 minutes from my house and the new one was 30 minutes. I didn’t really want to move because there was beautiful scenery , with a pond to walk around that was surrounded by grass for Izzy to eat. Even though the barn was always quiet we had issues when people were there. We only had few people there who were nice to us and the rest were mean and ugly with what they said and what they did…

Heeled boots clicked against the hard wooden floor, taking a halt in the center of this rugged and filthy bar. Her dark blue eyes surveyed the room with contempt coating her face; a bunch of unsightly ruffians and brutes littered the premises. A deliberate cough escaped her throat, “Excuse me?” she spoke her voice, but her statement disappeared among the noise of the other conversations. Standing her ground, she repeated herself louder — the same result as before. The ebony haired woman…
