The first probe we did in class was on September, 26th. In this probe we closed our eyes, and sat in silence for sixty seconds. As soon as I closed my eyes, I instantly felt different. My eyes once closed felt heavy, and slightly burned. It was almost as if I had been told keep my eyes held open for sixty seconds. I was no longer wide awake, and mind raring to learn and to go, go. No smell hit me, as the classroom was a scent free room , and I was sitting next to a girl who likely showered every day. I could taste the salty sweat on my lips, that gathered due to the hot humidity outside. My ears searching quickly caught the steady hum of the lights overhead. Not focusing too deeply on the hum though, as my ears inadvertently bounced …show more content…
Probe # 2:
The second probe we did was on October, 3rd. During this probe no one was allowed to take notes, except for three elected students. These students then put the notes on D2L. During this probe, at first I was stressed out. My neck was tight, and my legs were jittery. My eyes bounced around the room. Quickly taking note of the power point at the front of the room, other students, and passer byers outside the windows lining the far wall. There was a cool breeze coming in through the classroom window making my skin feel slightly chilled.The feeling of stress quickly dissipated as class progressed though. My legs slowed, and neck relaxed. I found myself sitting back in my chair, listening to the class as it went by. In class we talked about symbols, touching on connotative and denotative meanings. I found that I was understanding the information more fully than I usually do, and was much more interested . I was more focused on listening and comprehension, rather than on trying to annotate in short what was being said.
The were times however when I lost focus, and I did find it harder to come back to focus than usual. Usually when I lose focus, I concentrate on writing my notes, or drawing a small picture in my margins to help me to regain focus. This time around though I couldn't do that, and I found myself taking longer to regain focus. I tried countless things to regain focus for instance, keeping eye contact with whoever
“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.
I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy. I love my country for giving me refuge when times were tough, thus, I was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated

Throughout history many races and cultures have been discriminated against for various reasons and there have been many different methods used to discriminate against them. To focus on one race in particular the African American race was discriminated for a long period and was discriminated in various ways throughout this time. The longest and most prominent method used was slavery, then after slavery ended segregation was another method, and lastly African Americans not being treated equally or having the same rights was another method that was used to discriminate against the African American race.
They ran out of the bank Tom firing his gun; they went out to our car. Carl almost ripping the door off the car. He plugged the key in the ignition, the engine of our car started running. It started, and he rocked his foot to the gas pedal, burning the gas so quickly you could smell it. They mic’d up with Quincey and told which traffic lights to turn green and which to turn red so that they can get through the Berlin traffic faster. The problem was we were moving so fast that instead of turning the car, we would skid and leave tire tracks of the car. So the police could get a general idea of where we turned and which direction we were heading.
The room was set up to look like Geppetto's workshop with a large bed in the centre and a naked woman laying on it. There was a cameraman whose thick framed spectacles emphasize his intrusive owl eyes: peepers that could out-stare Yakuza gang-lords. His deep vertical wrinkles on each cheek look as if this thing's creator was an incompetent child artist that didn't have an eraser to correct the mistakes from which he or she doodled. His wiry body gave off a hatchling figure, and the aquiline nose and vulture sunken head added to the concoction of miscellaneous bird parts.
While walking through the hallways of the Rayburn House Office Building, the echos from my footsteps intimidated me and caused my heartbeat to increase dramatically. However, I made the decision to transform these puzzling and frightening feelings into motivation. This is because seeming powerless in front of a powerful political leader, such as the representative of North Carolina David Price, was not an option. At this point in my life, I felt as if it was my duty to advocate for my community and take action against the social injustices that were robbing the humanity from individuals in my community. It was my duty to be transparent and honest about the problems affecting my community enough to make David Price want to help and take
The development of mobile applications offers new solutions for communication among teachers, parents and students so as to expedite notifications and guarantee the receiving of the information and help school to pursue its work privately and securely, As Laura Briz-Ponce(2016) suggets.
We, as humans, have come a long way in terms of tools. We started out using rocks, sticks, and simple things found in nature. Now we use heavy, complex machinery and synthetic plastics to generate and design anything we could possibly think of. In an effort to understand the ways of earlier humans differently, I was tasked with researching and creating a tool using the methods from prehistory. In this ethnography, I will be describing the tool that I made, explaining modern tools in today’s society, and speculating how I would fair in prehistoric times.
The three women are in a café lit with plenty of sunlight on the outskirts of Nagasaki. Behind the café, a still pond under a small stone bridge can be seen. This bit of blue is at the foot of a mountain. Madame Chrysantheme (MC) is sitting upright on a mat with a forlorn face, staring straight ahead. Yuki (Y), sitting on a mat to the left of MC, has a smile on her face and stares up with bright eyes to Madame Butterfly (MB).
Experts say that "within the first two seconds of meeting someone you have already made your first impression." Although no one likes to admit it, everyone is guilty of quickly assuming a person's character based on what they wear or the activities they take part in. In the event that advertisers were to assume anything about me, based on the ads on my social media, there would be an obvious trend. A trend where horses are involved. Of course, like anything, there is evidence to support my theory of the so called trend. The fact that I purchase horse related objects online would suggest to some that I have a life involving horses. My interests outside of school would also give outside observers ammunition to make assumptions about me. Of
I am seeking to obtain a Masters in Business Analytics from California State University, East bay. My purpose to join this program has grown over the time. Since my school days, my favorite subjects were Mathematics and Science, which laid the foundation for my inclination towards engineering. I qualified various entrance examinations (including CEE with State Rank 111) and was placed in 0.1% of engineering aspirants. This helped me getting admission to Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, which is one of the most prestigious institutions in India. My affinity towards programming languages, which I started studying at high school and the field of Computer Science, motivated me to take Computer Engineering as my major in undergraduate
The meaning-focused input (MFI), as suggested by Nation and Newton (2009), is one of the four strands that are required for a well balanced language course. According to Nation (2009), learning vocabulary through reading is one of the activities that promote this strand. Some results of the present studies provided some evidence for the MFI strand. The findings suggested that, the degree of effectiveness of intensive reading activities, in which learners infer the meaning of new words from context, in facilitating L2 vocabulary learning may depend on different factors such as reading strategies, knowledge sources, contextual clues and number of encounters of target words. While contextual clues significantly contributed to knowledge of
