This essay will reflect my thoughts on chapter 9. In brief this chapter deals with how the ears allow us to be able to hear and process sound. When I first think of sound I think of the frequency. This makes me think of songs that I listen too in order to determine it 's a high frequency or a low frequency. I 'll be able to determine the amount of hertz that are in songs on the radio. I do feel that it would be hard to determine because most of that music is reordered, hearing people sing a cappella would be easier to determine the amount of hertz present. I know what hertz are, but I 'm still not sure how they are actually determined? Are they sounds just determined by our brain if we have unimpaired hearing. How would someone like my brother with a whole in his ear be able to determine frequency? When I think about pitch the first things come to mind are instruments. This reminds me in middle school if you wanted to a part of the band, you got to test each instrument. I always had a fascinating with a flute, which had high a frequency and high pitch. Another instrument was a trombone; this had a low frequency and low pitch. This helped me understand the difference between pitches. I also think about how humans and animals hear different frequencies. Someone my age in there 20 's would be able to hear the door bell ring, while someone in there 70 's may not hear it. This measures how over time our frequencies can. A dog on the other hand can hear very high-pitched

“..the System includes the Situation, but it is more enduring, more widespread, involving extensive networks of people, their expectations, norms, policies, and, perhaps, laws. Over time, Systems come to have a historical foundation and sometimes also a political and economic power structure that governs and directs the behavior of many people within its sphere of influence. Systems are the engines that run situations that create behavioral contexts that influence the human action of those under their control. At some point, the System may become an autonomous entity, independent of those who initially started it or even those in apparent authority within its power structure. Each System
Write an analysis of how Chapters 8 and 9 explore the connection between culture, food and community
McMurphy was a so called a psychopath rite when he first arrived to the ward. Things really came alive when he arrived he immediately took over the ward.Even though everyone in the ward was scared and afraid of Nurse ratchet.Everyone was scared to get electroshock therapy or lobotomy session because it was all up to Nurse Ratchet,so of course no one wanted to get on her bad side until Mcmurphy arrived to ward and everything changed because he was the only so called rebel to stand up to Nurse Ratchet.Since none of the patients had confidence to stand up for themselves he then standed up for the patients and started to push the limits on Nurse Ratchet by telling her to turn on the tv so all the patients could watch the world series,and makeing

In chapter 11 of The Souls of Black Folk, Dubois creates a connection between the death of his infant boy and escaping “the veil.” He discusses the first moment he held his baby boy and how he watched the shadow of the veil fall across the baby; the baby is introduced to a world where “freedom is to us a mockery and whose liberty is a lie.” His child exits this world almost as quickly as he was born into it; and Dubois contemplates why this would happen to him when life is already difficult. Towards the end of the chapter, he changes his perspective on the death of his child, and expresses his belief “…not dead, but escaped… not bond, but free.” He comes to the conclusion that his child might be better off because he was not forced to endure
Hi Amy. I have just wanted to expand on your post. In the beginning of chapter 10, Sacks explores medical history. He argues that the course taken by sound vibrations, from their entry into the external ear canals, through the eardrums on either side to the small bones, the ossicles, of the center ear, to the snail-molded cochlea, was initially worked out in the seventeenth century. It was believed then that sounds were transmitted by the ear, becoming enhanced in the cochlea "as in a musical instrument." After a century, it was found that the tapered shape of the cochlear spiral was differentially tuned to the scope of discernable frequencies, responsive to low sounds at its wide base, high sounds at its narrow apex. At last, by 1700, it was
Professor Dunbar, also states that pitch is learned in early while developing speech(Dingfedler). Music tigers the motor senses and the motor senses help people want to get up and move their bodies. It is like an automatic reaction to the beat. Pitch is what contribute to the reactions of emotions: the louder and higher the pitch, the more happy and alert people tend to be. Also, the lower and softer the pitch, the more calm and emotional people are.
Ralph and Piggy realize that with the death of Simon, Sam and Eric are the only biguns remaining in their group. There are a handful of littluns that still follow Ralph but the majority have went to Jack’s group.
Sound is not only for people who can hear. You can experience sound in different ways. For example. in passage number one, "Sound is All around Us" the author states that, "the energy is released in the form of vibrations" meaning you don't have to hear a loud sound or a low sound. And in passage number two, " Hearing Sound does not Require Ears" in paragraph, "Ears are not Needed for Hearing" tells you that, "the ears are specifically designed to receive sound vibrations that are emitted" this means that you ears don't necessarily use all sorts of sound to hear.
Musicians know that all vibrating objects make sounds. Frequency measure how many times a string vibrates up and down. If a musician changed the length of the string, it also changed the frequency. High frequency will always equal a high pitch. When an octave is increased the frequency will double. Pythagoras discovered different sounds could be made with different weight and vibrations. Due this discovery, they also realized pitch could be controlled by the length of the string.
Arguing systematically he takes the reader through all the senses in question; namely, hearing, smell, touch and taste. For each sense he quotes an example from nature, thus describing how it is an acknowledgement of all senses that completes a space. He talks of registering the speed of wind through hearing and detecting the temperature of the same through touch.
The ears are one of the most complex and interesting systems thats human body has and the sounds we hear are actually in many different parts deflected, absorbed, and also filtered by our different body parts. It's then collected by our pinnae (the external part of or ears), whose dimensions further affect the sound on its way into ear. There, vibrations are translated into signals, which are interpreted by your brain. In the 1930s, two scientists at Bell Labs, Harvey Fletcher and Wilden A. Munson researched this process and what they discovered has changed and affected how we as humans understand the hearing process.
