Youngest Brother Shoulders back, head up. Look him in the eyes. The slow, drawn-out breaths from the air-tank are the only sounds filling the room. No, someone sniffles, a tear runs down a cheek; it’s my mother, it’s my sister. Stay strong. His bloated stomach moves with the sounds, in and out, out of his control. His flat chest quivers, I can see his heart-beating, I can feel mine. His legs lay motionless for the first time in many years. He was always moving. Moving ships off the coast of…

twisted dynamic of two siblings. Bette Davis plays Baby Jane Hudson, an aging actress who holds her paraplegic sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) captive in an old mansion.

predominately patriarchal societies. Historically, Western society has proven exemplary at excluding female voices; leaving literary interpretation from the perspective of feminist theory limited, at least somewhat, to work written by men.

buffoon, a sleepy sailor, or even a hairy hippy. I am so much more than these mere titles. I am a sponge to the world that deposits its ideas into me. I am a filter that chooses which ideas I want to follow. I am a melting pot that takes these ideas and turns them into one unique view of the world, my view.

anemometer had rather disappointing results. For the next while we each took turns trying to figure out how to make it produce a larger voltage. Two of our team members had to leave for class so the last two of us continued working and altering our design. We still had not gotten to a voltage that we were happy with but we were running out of time so we took a video of what we had. My partner then suggested that we try to turn our anemometer vertical.
