compare it to similar plastics in the same weight category, polypropylene has one of the higher melting points. Throughout the structure, mostly covalent bonds are present in between the atoms. Covalent bonds are strong and are thus difficult to break. This is why a higher temperature, which means a higher amount of energy is needed to melt polypropylene. This makes polypropylene a suitable material to use for most products since its melting point is a lot higher than the room temperature and…

Ignorance is bliss, many people today use this phrase as a means to vindicate their actions and validate their simple and close-minded way of thinking. Whether you 've heard the phrase used in those exact words or nor does mean that you have never heard it at all. This phrase has been twisted and warped into a series of much smaller and more rationalized forms such as, “he or she doesn 't know any better”, or perhaps, “how was I supposed to know?” or my personal favorite “well everyone else is…

The math series Dakota Elementary uses is McGraw-Hill with Common Core State Standards written in the corner of the book. When I asked…

Holocaust Story “Get up!” the fat officer shouts, “All of you, get up! Now!” We start to get up. We’ve been sitting here for what feels like an eternity; no one has a watch any more so I don’t know how long it’s actually been. All I know is that we have been here since last night and that it’s cold. When they marched into the ghetto last night, we had been asleep and as comfortable as anyone could get here. My family shared an apartment with a young couple and their newborn baby, so my…

for a writer. The only times were for a smoke, or too lie up on the roof and watch the planes fly by. The planes were headed somewhere important. Off too burn a couple of traitors, no doubt.Anybody with two functioning eyeballs could see the bombs hanging off the belly of the machines. End of the world shit.

The audience gets a sense that the film was filmed in one go creating a logical coherence between shots. During the initial fight scene, dissolve and wipes were used to speed up the action, which is another way of involving viewers and getting their attention to anticipate what is going to happen next. It seems as if they planned and directed shots in such a way that they can be cut together smoothly and coherently. You could…
