Commonly known as the Killer whale, Orcinis Orca, isn’t actually a whale: its part of the dolphin family. (Ocean Today, n.d.) It does share a lot of the same characteristics of dolphins, but the Orca has some unique features of its own. Its camouflage coloring for example, is counter shaded, black on the top and mostly white on the bottom. If you are looking down from above, the black on the dorsal side mixes with the dark waters of the ocean. If you’re looking up from below, the white on the…

Poof! With one flick of her wand, the fairy godmother turned Cindy into a gorgeous girl with a beautiful blue dress and two crystal slippers. At this moment, Cindy was on top of the world, but would magic proceed to something good happening? Or would Cindy have a rude awakening to reality? What meets the eye in the remade version by Disney is merely a mask that hides the real gore and bitterness of the original “Cinderella,” leaving out details to preserve the happiness of children around the…

Kong The Adventurous “Thank you Mom but I can do it on my own.” My mom glanced back at me with a blank expression. “KONG! You can do somethings on your own, I know you can, but somethings… you are just too young of a unicorn.” My mom explained to me firmly. “I guess!” I confessed. Me and my parents live together in a magical place known as Uni-Landia, where all the amazing unicorns of the world live. Me and my family live outside (like all unicorns do) right off of Rainbow Dash Street. The…

I like to think of my life as if I am walking a border, an imaginary one, where I am halfway between sanity and insanity, where nothing is ever certain and nothing is ever uncertain, and where life’ pieces fall in and out of place like a game of snakes and ladders. Nostalgia is a feeling that is all too familiar to me. I often find myself reminiscing about the past, thinking of the girl I once was, of the dreams I once had, of the life I once led. Although I have only lived a short time, sixteen…

It’s A Small World It’s the summer before my seventh birthday and I am invincible. It’s my first time at Disneyworld and everything is perfect. I am with my entire family, my sister, mother, and father. My heart flutters and I feel a surge of excitement. The ferry carrying us from the parking lot towards the magical kingdom is finally getting close to that iconic castle that I have seen so many times on TV. It is easy to forget we are riding a boat across a small lake that separates this…

Observation The concert that I attended was a jazz concert. The concert started off with music. It was during the intermission, the musicians introduced themselves. The music is not written down on the program. Rather, it was stated orally. The group of male musicians was consisted of a pianist, drummer, bass, and saxaphone. Many times, the group would be playing a polyphonic texture. However, there were other times where they would suddenly change into a heterophonic texture. The heterophonic…

What if I told you 20 hours is all it takes to learn something new. Not a lot of time, wouldn’t you agree? Josh Kaufman states in his Ted talk called The first 20 hours that with “45 minutes a day for about a month” one can go from being completely incompetent to the point where once you complete your 20 hours of practicing you will be amazed with the results (9:13). Josh Kaufman believes that with his 4 steps one can learn anything. He formulated this method with intensive research. Through…

He caught the ball with eight seconds left in the game. A defender ran towards him, one hand in the air to try to block the shot. As he jumped up, the entire crowd held their breaths. Everything was moving in slow motion; his arm extended and the ball spun out of his hand, gliding up into an arc headed towards the hoop. As the ball neared its highest point, the shot clock went off, and the shrill buzzer pierced through the silence. Everyone in that arena was focused on one thing: the basketball,…

Final Sports Exam: Question 1: I consider the Nike Corporation to be an amoral employer because of the financial incentives to make the cheapest product in a capitalistic business culture. In America, the issue of moral and immoral conduct in the business world is often sidelined in favor of an amoral position on the necessity of earning the greatest profits through the lowest costs cutting measures in terms of employment. The issue of Nike sweatshops as an immoral factor in the show industry…
