Tom Lehrer

to every genre of music there is and trust me when I saw everything I MEAN EVERYTHING! One of my hobbies is searching up random things and learning about it. For example I memorized a song called The Elements By Tom lehrer. I also play video games with people like Ryan.L and Lian from the other class. I play video games like Dust: an elysian tale, online chess, League of legends, and The Bridge which is a puzzle physics game that I absolutely adore. I spend a lot of time by myself and usually when I’m bored I walk to the library at the thornhill village and get a book to read. I love reading my one of my favorite reading genres is mystery. I also love historical fiction and mystery. Books like Neil Flambe and The Mechanical are my personal favorite. My dream is to be a professional stalker. Yes I want to know where everyone lives and I want to do it NOW! Okay before you call the police I just have to say that was a joke, a J-O-K-E. No but seriously I have many dreams and they do NOT including being a professional stalker. Now my hopes for my job in the future right now is… Being an engineer, researcher or a professor. I absolutely love physics and chemistry. I also LOVE teaching people things that I know. For example I love teaching people The Elements by Tom Lehrer. I might be a singer IF I ever get good at singing. So in conclusion, I’m a weird Persian kid that’s 12. I’m turning 13 in November. I love learning. I love music. I love cooking. I LOVE EVERYTHING. Yes I…

Don't say that he's hypocritical, Say rather that he's apolitical. Tom Lehrer – “Wernher von Braun” July 20, 1969, 10:56 p.m. Eastern Standard Time: Half a billion people watched with pride as an American airman from Ohio took the first step onto the moon. He and his two compatriots had traveled almost 400,000 kilometers through space––the culmination of two decades of research and 150 billion dollars. The American flag planted on the Moon proved a capstone moment in the space race. This…

Lehrer’s article he argues the potential an e-reader has. He claims, “here is the wonderful thing about the human brain: give it a little time and practice and it can make just about everything automatic.” (quoted in Lehrer) His point is that we have really never gave e-readers a chance to work. We always shut down the chances of actually making it comparable to an actual book. He states, “the human cortex is the fact that there are actually two distinct pathways activated with sight of…

reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever. I don’t take no stock in mathematics, anyway.” (16) But ironically Mark Twain chooses such a character to be the narrator and main character of his novel. As seen at the end of the book, Tom and Huck reunite and Tom hatches a plan to help Jim escape from the shed. Tom says that their plan needs to be like the ones in the books. “Why, hain’t you ever read any books at all?—Baron Trenck, nor Casanova, nor Benvenuto Chelleeny,…

Huckleberry Finn, he wrote in 1884 (Samuel). Mark was born in Florida on November 30, 1835 to John Marshall and Jane Clemens. Twain grew up in Hannibal along the Mississippi River, which held “some of the happiest moments of his childhood” he stated (Samuel). Mark Twain was said to be an “American humorist and novelist, captured a world audience with short stories of boyhood adventure and with commentary on man’s shortcomings that is humorous even while it probes, often bitterly, the roots of…

Discussion Questions for “Run, Lola, Run” 1. Why do you think Tom Tykwer’s film was so extraordinarily popular, not only in Germany but throughout the world? I think the film was popular because it was a fusion of the fast-paced nature of American films with the artistic elements of German film. That makes it appreciable to several markets, worldwide. 2. The film tells the same story three times. Which elements are exactly the same each time? Which elements change? Are there any elements which…

important role as one of the themes throughout the entire novel titled, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was written by one of America’s greatest writers in all of its history, Mark Twain. As the novel acts as an extension of Mark Twain’s other publication, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, it goes on in the point-of -view of Huckleberry Finn and his adventures after trying to leave his “incarcerating” establishment and his drunk and abusive father, who in fact…

with a piece of iron. Hannibal inspired several of Mark Twain’s fictional locations. Twain became one of the best storytellers in the West. Twain became somewhat bitter in his later years. In 1935 Ernest Hemingway wrote, “ All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn”, making an interesting point. Huck Finn took years to perfect and write, and often Twain pushed it aside, but it was finally published in 1884. After seven years of starting to write the…

Module A Within our daily lives, we are provided with an abundance of visual images from a variety of sources. From daily television shows and commercials, to the billboards seen on the way to school or work, by using prior knowledge and background experiences, ideas start forming. Visual messages are also conveyed in traditional forms such as films, novels, picture books and more. This is displayed in the film ‘Run Lola Run’ by Tom Tykwer and the picture book “The red tree” by Shaun Tan,…

I’ll go to hell.” (191) At this point he rips the paper up as well as the shackles that society had put on him from a very young age. Right now Huck has already matured beyond what several adults will ever be. He would consign himself to hell in order to do what he thinks is right even though everybody else would tell him differently. He has clearly seen for the first time that Jim is his friend and that Jim is just as human as he. Huckleberry is even mature enough to step out of his childish,…
