Time management

“Laika” and “Flotsam” “Laika,” by Sarah Batkie, and “Flotsam,” by Jeremy Allan Hawkins both deal with the idea of being lost. While “Laika” uses space and Laika the dog as a parallel to the narrator’s sense of isolation in the world, “Flotsam” approaches the idea of being lost through the description of a ship floating astray in space. Where they differ, however, is in the use of space in the pieces; while “Laika” uses space as an accessory to the fiction narrative being told, “Flotsam” is…

can get this from sleep deprivation. What if we could get rid of this problem, of sleep deprivation. There is one way in which we could have smarter, and better feeling students. One factor that is causing sleep deprivation is the early school start times. Says that childrens brains are not funcitioning properly before 8:30 A.M. Studies show that eighty percent of middle and high schools are starting to early. Waking up at the crack of dawn isn't fun for any body not the teens that have to…

the certain edge that somehow detached history from prehistory is the certainty that there are already written events in the past to clarify history and this is still nonexistent during prehistory. Thus we can conclude that prehistory is the span of time before the era of recorded history. History can be explained as a record of the events that happened in the past. Prehistory does not record the happenings due to the fact that there were no recording facilities available in the period implied…

I am reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The first chapter is about a group of kids that are trying to make a virtually unseen man named Boo Radley, come of his house. In this journal I will be predicting and characterizing. I predict that the kids will not meet boo for many reasons. First, Boo is always locked up and is rarely seen. The Radley household is closed weekdays, as well as Sundays. Normal townsfolk would usually go to church, and after that, would talk and chat…

people imagine time as a constant. Physicist Albert Einstein illustrated that time is an illusion that it is relative which it can differ for different observers depending on the speed through space. To Einstein, time is a fourth dimension and space is described as a three-dimensional field, which provides a traveler with coordinates such as length, height and width showing location. Time provides one more coordinate direction although conventionally, it only moves forward. Time travel…

Happiness Is a Choice Happiness is something everyone strives to acquire. It can last five minutes or it can last for many years, and true happiness is not something everyone gets to experience in their lifetimes. However, whether happiness was acquired or not is completely up to the person. Here are three major proofs that happiness is a choice and not something out of our personal control. First of all, one must not be a pessimist. In other words, if something terrible happens, it is not…

Mine however are not too extravagant. I have short term goals, and long term goals. My short term goals are to be healthy, get a job, find my own place and get a car. My long term goals are bit more time consuming. These long term goals include: finishing school, finding career, living somewhere I love, and being happy. For the short term goals media plays a big role as far as me pushing to be healthy. I am overweight and strive to have a better body…

The summative assignment I reviewed was incredible! I can’t believe a student was able to do that. I guess with a lot of dedication and effective use of class time can do that. For the next two and a half months I will have to use extremely good use of my class time. For this class time to be used effectively, I will have to do multiple things. This includes no distractions. I would need to focus on the work at hand, and not the people around me. I need to focus on myself so that I can strive to…

Time and Space in Novel and Cinema In his 1957 academic work, Novels into Film, George Bluestone breaks down differences between literature and cinema. He goes on to analyze the process of adaptation and the ways in which time and space are used differently in the two mediums. Film and literature essentially share many characteristics, such as plot development and characters. But, unavoidable changes will happen through the process of adaptation. Bluestone argues that cinema relies on the…

mean that something was not actually memorized. This can be explained through not learning something, or by overlooking it. One of the examples in the textbook is questioning specific details of a penny. Even though a penny is something we see all the time, it can be difficult to remember what exactly it looks like since we do not genuinely pay attention to it. Another cause for this can be trying to multitask, such as…
