Trajectory

successful summit of Everest accomplished by Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld. This was significant because this made Krakauer want to become a climber as a child where he describes the summit as “...a subsequent ascent of the mountain helped establish the trajectory of my life” (Krakauer 19). This is important because readers learn more about Krakauer in his early years and his development into becoming a successful climber, one who was able to reach the peak of Mount…

The Apollo Space Program was very important to many Americans and NASA because it dealt with sending astronauts into space and exploring the unknown solar system. That is why on April 11th, 1970, NASA launched three astronauts into space. This launch is known as Apollo 13, or the 13th launch out of Earth’s solar system. NASA sent three men, Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert, into space on the Apollo 13 mission. Initially, Lovell, the commander, and Haise, the lunar module pilot, were…

Since the beginning of creation of language, only one factor has set animals and humans apart- the ability to express thoughts and emotions. Oxford English dictionary defines language as “Words and the methods of combining them for the expression of thoughts.” But when the notion of ‘expression’ is removed from this definition, all that is left is “words”. Does delivering and receiving these words qualify as actual communication? Or does language devoid of expression simply imply mechanically…

I was a recovering teenage anorexic working at a critically acclaimed restaurant—the irony never failed to escape me. Bay Wolf Restaurant in Oakland, California was my first job. It taught me how to love food and myself again. I had moved to Northern California from Southern California for an eating disorder rehabilitation center a month earlier. I learned about the position from a girl at rehab and was hesitant to look into it. I could not afford anything to cause a relapse at this fragile time…

My suffering was prolonged for several years as I tried to persevere in my undergraduate studies. I attended the University of Redlands in order to improve my academic and athletic growth. As a youth, I played sports year-round and excelled in all my courses. My regiment was strict and if followed, I was guaranteed success. I was in the gym by 7 a.m., in class until 3, practice until 7, eating dinner by 8, followed by a minimum of two hours studying. My passions aligned with structure increased…

patient. Aside from this there is only a reference made to it the ‘Conclusion’. I believe it warranted more analysis because the idea of navigating lines especially through the bureaucracy of the American health care system really shapes peoples trajectories in life and really under pins the entire…

Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom (1960) is a pseudo snuff film centred on the act of voyeurism. Although, Peeping Tom predates the horror subgenre, slashers, it still upholds the psychosexual elements that reside in such films (Clover). Released in the same year as Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960), Peeping Tom can be cited as the aforementioned British equivalent, as the male central characters seem to share sadistic and psychopathic qualities. This film proves to be a self-reflexive metafilm as it…

theory as to what happened on the crime scene and answering questions about it. In order to do this, the BPE relies on a type of forensic science called Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) that helps obtaining DNA testing, autopsy results, bullet trajectory, and other relevant information to the case. The purpose of this paper is to explain and direct the reader into a better understanding of what this area of forensic deals with. Education and training of a BPE and directionality of blood spatter…

Eight albums in and we’ve gone from a quiet little bar in anytown USA, steeped in nostalgia and sweetness to something else entirely. It was building from the start and although that only comes through in hindsight and by looking at the trajectory of his career, it doesn’t seem completely shocking that Tom Waits would end up making an album like Swordfishtrombones when he did, in 1983. Rising out of the jazz, blues and pop standard traditions he explored in previous albums, this is a theatrical…
