    Bcom 275 Message In A Tunnel

    There is a major difference in how information is portrayed depending on the audience. Often times, when informing the population of terrible news the audience is looking for as many facts as the journalists will put out there. The miners and the families of the miners trapped in the Chilean copper mine collapse wanted to know everything that was going on and exactly what was going to be done in order to rectify the situation as well as how soon the workers could come home.…

    How does Steinbeck create mood and atmosphere in section 6

    The description of the setting in this chapter is very different from the previous one, but also very similar in other ways. It is different because the mood is generally more threatening and ominous, but also because our vision of the characters in it is different, and we have fears, hopes and general suspense coming from the previous chapters, while in the first description it was a completely new setting. It is much more ominous because small bits of the description make a fundamental difference. For example, there is the snake gliding smoothly on the pool surface, only to be eaten by a silent heron. There is also the presence of wings, which puts everything in motion and can be quite creepy sometimes at night when suddenly it goes away. There is an uneasy stillness and Lennie is also much more preoccupied and sad. This chapter is also very similar to the first however, because it is in the same location, at the same time (sunset), and with the same characters. Even the same words are repeated and the dream is a central point of discussion.…

    Twin tunnels

    The goal of the Twin Tunnels is to divert water from the Sacramento River, and around the Bay and delta area to distribute it to San Joaquin Valley agriculture business and also Southern California's cities and surrounding areas. The total cost of the project is estimated to be above $69 billion. State officials are want to try to put the project in without voter approval. The tunnels are a part of a restoration idea called the "Bay Delta Conservation Plan" or the "(BDCP)". While the "BDCP" tells people that the projects are a “conservation measure,” the only actual benefits are "state and federal water contractors who consider their water supplies unreliable" and also the union who would employ the workers for this project. Basically, the habitat conservation and restoration part of the "BDCP" is not much more than a "overpriced9 project that will destroy the Delta. And to add on to all of this if the Twin Tunnels do not deliver water at a reasonable cost, the undefined financing for the project would most likely make for a massive tax bill for ratepayers, taxpayers, and water agencies. This would place a large economic struggle on the State of California, and their approval would be far from positive response. In the event of the utility companies failing to par or being sued, the property owners in the areas that contain this project and the state treasury will be responsible to repay the costs.…

    Underground Railroad

    Knowing ones self is an invaluable gift. Many people believe they know themselves by knowing what they like or dislike, how they dress , the company they keep and so forth. There is an underlying and overlooked complicity to really know ones self. For many of us it is only in our imaginations where we come from. Given the fact we know we are from parts our parents, grandparents , great-grand parents, what does that mean ? Where did we come from? In this society with the ideas of ethnocentrism, I believe the same mentality is applied to individuals everyday life meaning, only the here and now matters and what is presently happening impacts the future. This idea has been passed to Americans because todays America is composed of the majority of citizens, besides Native Americans, form different geographical positioning and embracing different cultural views. The forced assimilation of these various different cultures has led us in the direction of who we really are individually and as a culture. There are individual struggles recorded in History that truly have molded who are and how we have become who we are.…

    Underground Railroad

    The Underground Railroad was a road to freedom which consisted of an enormous system of people who helped fugitive slaves flee to the North and to Canada. It was run by many Caucasians, or abolitionists, but mainly African Americans, or slaves (Heinrichs 8). The Underground Railroad was a danger which many risked their own lives to save the ones of slaves. This wouldn’t have been able to happen if it weren’t for their secrecy and braveness. The Underground Railroad was an immense success due to the secrecy of the operation that slaves used to gain freedom.…
