Tapestry

the bad news, I sit and think to myself why should I even care I got what I wanted. Why did I feel so bad about it though? It was my plan to not get accepted but not be a second year senior. Excited to go buy cute glass and plastic glasses and tapestrys for my new life in college and new room. Leaning towards moving to Tallahassee or Gainesville. I forgot to even think ohh wait I 'm a second year senior and I 'm not moving any time soon. Upset about my moving situation was I selfish or was…

My fingers raced between the motherboard and the back of the case. I guided cables through the case cutouts like a weaver maneuvering threads in a tapestry. The satisfying “click” of plugging in each cable to its spot on the board drove me to completion. Now that everything was plugged in, I had to work on the most painful part: cable management. Remembering what I learned from YouTube, I routed the cables behind the case until they made two distinct paths. The cables were two rivers flowing…

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) mark a historic and effective method of global mobilisation to achieve a set of important social priorities worldwide. They express widespread public concern about poverty, hunger, disease, unmet schooling, gender inequality, and environmental degradation. By packaging these priorities into an easily understandable set of eight goals, and by establishing measurable and time bound objectives, the MDGs help to promote global awareness, political…

These people have employed various modern forms of culture from the time of the 1900’s to show the Australian people the rich tapestry of Aboriginal life and culture. Two very good examples of this are NITV on the SBS television network where Aboriginal Australians’ are creating their own series, show and both sports and news programs. The other is Gadigal radio where Aboriginal…

Shakespeare’s tragedy, Hamlet, presents a series of characters with complex relationships. Hamlet’s relationship with his father provides the foundation for which all others will build from, including Hamlet’s interpersonal relationship with himself. Hamlet is presented as a tragic figure whose sanity is undetermined. Throughout the film Prince Hamlet rambles on about the world around him and the thoughts that haunt him. Shakespeare seems to use Hamlet’s insanity as a way to narrate his play, as…

is Clotho whereas the two smaller stars are Lachesis and Atropos. These names are from the three Fates in Greek mythology that oversee the allegorical strands of life. For instance, Clotho spins our lifelines, Lachesis weaves the thread into the tapestry of our lives, and Atropos cuts the strings. Gnaritus is a Goldilocks planet in that it is just right for human habitation chiefly due to being the right distance from its suns, and the right size to have an atmosphere. There are only two…

The Fall of the House of Usher, by Edgar Allen Poe, uses a rational first-person narrative to illustrate the strange effects the Usher estate has on the three characters. Everything about the house is dark and eerily evil. The mansion appears to create fear, which is in turn, driving the occupants insane. The narrator of the story is a mysterious and challenging character to understand. The audience is never given the name of the narrator as his significance in the novel is mainly concerning…

“A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time. Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh.” In comedy, the only characteristic shared between comedies is their want to make people laugh, and it can be difficult to pull off such a seemingly simple task. As defined by the New Oxford…

Orthodoxy and Catholicism have a place in amongst over 35,000 Christian organizations (Jacobsen 7). I attended a mass at St. John 's Catholic Church and a service at St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church, and the similarities and differences that I observed were extremely intriguing. Both services recite similar prayers, like the Nicene Creed and Our Father, and they celebrate the Eucharist during mass. While the Orthodox Church is demographically Greek, the Catholic Church represents a…

Alexander Calder came from a long line of artists. His mom was a painter, his dad and grandfather were both famous American sculptures. Since art was an everyday occurrence in Calder life, he grew up always loving to create things and was encouraged to do so. He even had his own little studio as a young child where he made his own toys. Even though he loved making things growing up, he never saw art as a career in his future. Calder wanted to do into engineering and his parents encouraged that…
