T. Coraghessan Boyle’s short story, “Greasy Lake,” is a work of fiction that is meant to display the absurdities of the American teenage experience. Published in 1985, Boyle is quick to contextualize the work within an 80s teenager’s frame of reference; he opens the story with a lyric from a Bruce Springsteen song, “Sprit of the Night,” which acts as Boyle’s first symbol in the story, a tribute to the teenagers of the decade in which the story is published. But, from the content, it can be…

At this point in the story we are focusing on Jeremy and China's relationship and how strong it seems. We do however notice their naivety in there actions, particularly after they run out of…

ingenious invention of the assembly line. This made most products expensive because of the extensive amount of work that people had to put forth into making products. It took workers about half a day of grueling work to create cars before the Model T. Because of this condition, cars were very expensive and most people could not afford one like today. Ransom E. Olds used the assembly line in 1901 to mass produce his “Curved Dash” Oldsmobile. This made it the first commercially successful car…

Over the past week there has been a lot of new material that I’ve had to learn. While it may have been a hard a times, the information we have learned is very important. In the Taking Sides book, I learned about the controversial issue on institutional childcare. Greg Parks believes yes, institutional childcare is good for children.

He attended Hampton Institute in Virginia, a school run…

maximal positivity during the 300-500ms time range and FN400 was negative-going waveform (Figure 2-3). Paired samples t-tests were conducted to see if modality has an effect on the retrieval at Fz, FCz, F1 and FC2 (300-500ms). After analysis of the data found that there visual and acoustic brands did not differ according to voltage at Fz amplitude t(30) = 1.29, p = .206 and at FCz t(30) = 1.26, p = 216 (Figure 2, Graph 2). Additionally, the left and right lateralization was examined with F1 and…
