Thumb

The viewer looks at one victim, one very small child who has lost his leg, who represents all the many individuals who are victims of major natural disasters and feels his pain and sorrow. The contrast of one victim and the many hands making the thumbs up gesture references the fact that for every natural disaster and individual victim there are many people who are not directly affected, those who stand to the side and just look are just watching as tragedy and suffering happens to others. By…

I plopped down in my cold, hard chair in the far back corner of the art room just as the minute bell chimed, signaling the last class of the week would begin in 60 seconds. Standing in groups scattered near the crooked rows of black tables, my classmates excitedly chattered away about plans for the weekend. Since I was one of the few freshmen in this Introduction to 2-D Art class, I did not join in the conversation. Instead, I stuffed my hands into the pocket of my favorite purple sweatshirt and…

behavior or sucking the thumb or pacifier all together it just limits it. The mother should continue to use operant conditioning but use it in a way that shapes Thumbelina’s behavior so she stops sucking her thumb and pacifier all together. A good example would be to use a negative reinforcement. The mother should put a sour tasting liquid, (that is safe for consumption) on the pacifier and on Thumbelina’s thumb so that when she goes to such on the pacifier or her thumb she will taste…

with the exception of spider monkeys, they all have 10 fingers and 10 toes total. Along with their hands and feet, on each finger and toe they all have fingernails, meanwhile they all have opposable thumbs- just because a mammal has opposable thumbs doesn’t mean that they are primates. Their thumbs are an important trait because all primates are great climbers- this is because of their strong arms and legs, and long, grasping fingers and toes. Other specific…

“In its intransitive form, to hump meant to walk, or to march, but it implied burdens far beyond intransitive.” This quote by author Tim O’Brien explains the effect each character from his story, “The Things They Carried” felt during the Vietnam War. O'Brien uses the items to provide a glimpse into each character’s desires throughout the war. The men carried items for necessity, superstition, and by rank.

with sadness when he left, loneliness when he was away, and happiness when he returned, but there is one trip that I remember a little better. I was going to be turning three soon and I knew that once I turned three I would have to stop sucking my thumb. I was quite the Daddy’s girl when I was younger. At the drop of a hat I would do anything for him. I wanted to surprise him and make him proud of me. The perfect chance came when my dad had to go to Europe for a week. A man in a black car came…

Again, on the Solidworks assembly the thumb seemed to work fine. However, after printing and assembling it on the hand, we realized that the thumb wrapped around the bottle in a way that made it barely have contact with the bottle.

We redesigned the thumb so that it would have a larger angle, however, after printing…
