Sunflower

The first time I ever painted with acrylics was in the waiting room of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. The room, although spacious, well-decorated, and illuminated by dancing rainbows of light from the stained glass windows, was Hades. Empty chairs surrounded me, a deafening silence enveloped, ringing with disquietude. I felt small. That is, until the sound of the metal door hinges unapologetically scraping broke the leaden lull. A man strolled in, toting a leather messenger bag…

all are agreed that the image helps us to remember the subject and to preserve him from a second spiritual death” (196). Using an example of sunflower to interpret Bazin’s idea, A long shot tracking with Alex’s pace showing the surrounding landscape of sunflower. The memory of the past can really be engraved in the present scenery. The brilliant sunflowers, and the ruined walls that had been torn by war. In flashback, the same land is full of smoke and blood. Those two different scene records…

West Virginia is a place that I will always feel deeply and personally connected. I was born and raised there as a child. West Virginia’s environment always made you feel like you were, “Almost in Heaven”. Fall was always my favorite time of the year in West Virginia. It would be that time of year that we started wearing our sweaters during the cooler weather. Fall foliage would begin, turning the trees vibrant colors of red, yellow and orange. Neighbors would get together to start…

As the ETP sludge’s concentration increases the plant growth also increases in the same trend because the available N,P and K is increases gradually when the concentration of ETP sludge increases after incubation presented in figure 1. Moreover, vegetation of the treated soil proved that the presence of sludge marginally promotes the plants growth, while hindering the uptake of Zn and Pb by the leaves and the roots [25].…

“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” –Albert Einstein The bee plays an important part in our developing world, and is what I will be talking about today. I will tell you the different roles of bees, and what is happening worldwide that should scare and even frighten you. Bees are specialized insects that gather pollen and nectar from flowers, they are called pollinators. They play an existentially important role in our daily lives and…

Many different animals develop different strategic foraging behaviours to survive the winter months. The black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus) are a songbird that can be observed throughout North America and remain year round even during the cold winters (Templeton, Greene, & Davis, 2005, 1935). During the winter the chickadees form an average flock size of about six to eight, but this number can vary (Templeton, Greene, & Davis, 2005, 1935). In the flock there is a social hierarchy and…

Over a span of three days, I tracked my diet to see if I was following the recommend nutrition guidelines set forth by the USDA. With the help of the SuperTracker website, I was able to see an average of my nutrients, vitamins, and minerals over the three day span. From these results, I decided which foods could possibly make a difference in the areas that were not up to the nutritional standards. Vitamins and Minerals There were quite a few vitamins and minerals that averaged less than a…

is unified, but never growing to their true potential. One major example of this is as Claudia closes the novel by blaming the town for Pecola’s position in the town, and explaining that the “Sunflowers” of Claudia’s town are too late to grow, too late to show real beauty (206). Which means that the sunflowers are a representation of the people that make up Claudia’s town, and being too late essentially means that their actions are so irrevocable that the every generation that is planted in a…

(1889). This is when Gogh was painting his self-portraits, and after the argument with his roommate. The last one is the Vase with Twelve Sunflowers (1888). This is one of the many paintings he painted in the yellow house. This is the sunflowers he was painting in his room-mates room before he moved in. He ended up painting three additional copies of the sunflower painting. Gogh’s work during his lifetime wasn’t as popular as it is today, however his artwork can be seen in museums across the…
