The Ice Palace

It was a typical morning in Park City, Utah. Wil Cruz woke up to the sound of his alarm, at 5:30 a.m. and immediately looked out his window. Fresh snow had fallen overnight, about a foot or so, and icicles hung from the lip of his roof that almost reached the base of his house. He got out under the layers of blankets spread around his bed, and went to watch the weather channel. His best friend Jake was already watching, waiting anxiously for the report. “It’s another great day here in Park City…

The wind whipped bitterly by and I pulled up the fabric on my face, looking forward at the ski track in front of me. I knew the race ahead was important, but all I was concerned about in that moment was how frigid my legs felt. He turned around and I jumped, ever so slightly, because when his face had been revealed, I could see the stark horror of the burns on his face. I was talking on the phone with my sister who was on a cruise to the Bahamas, when unexpectedly a loud HONK interrupted our…

As it can be seen in the previous figure, the Bubble Column PBR is a simple conceptual design. The figure simply illustrates the basic flow in the column. The gas enters the bottom of the column through a diffuser causing the gas to break into thousands of small bubbles making it easier for the algae to absorb the carbon dioxide in the gas. Once the algae have consumed as much carbon dioxide as it can, it releases oxygen in the form of gas, which leaves the column through the opening in the…

Glaciers are one of the most vital physical features we find on the planet that regulate many of its natural systems ranging from the Earth’s oceans to the atmosphere. Glaciers cover over ten present of the worlds surface area and store roughly seventy-five percent of the world’s fresh water supply, making it an essential component for the planet’s hydrologic cycle (Bennett, 2017). Throughout recent geologic history, glaciers have had a profound effect on the landscape, topography, and climate…

So in the short story account the teenaged boy broke through the thin ice and was holding onto the surrounding ice, wet, half frozen, fatigued and afraid. He clung to the edges of the remaining ice pack all by himself in this freezing nightmare with no others around to offer him any assistance out of this frigid hole. In this apparent hopeless state he considered many times to release his grip and let go of any chance of rescue. No one came nearby for him to call for attention so he felt all was…

Despite Aspen breaking America’s heart before the Selection, things get much worse for her, she gets selected. “ I whipped my head back around, and there is it was.

I looked like I was in love, And some idiot thought that love was for Prince Maxon.”(Cass,2012,56) Honestly, America couldn’t even imagine being in the same room as Prince Maxon, or even being the next daughter of Illea.…

observation was conducted of a single ice cube in water. While confounding, this particular experiment –as is promised by observations of all types- certainly provided some interesting results when employing the five senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste, and even when noting emotional states of the observer. Initially,…

structure as shown in Figure 2.  The twigs provide a guideline for how wide the walls should be.  This step is helpful for guidance when hollowing out the shelter. Step 6: Wait for 90 minutes.  In this time, the snow should settle and begin to form ice crystals making the structure sturdier. WARNING: If the snow is dry or grainy allow the pile to sit longer than the 90 minutes. Step 7: Hollow out the structure.  Make sure to put on a hood and to tighten all open areas on outer shell…

isolates himself from everyone around him, stereotyping people everywhere he goes. Constantly complaining about the phoniness and similarities of others, Holden himself is a hypocrite.
