The town seems to be resentful about her return and try to pinpoint the reason of her return. This gives me the first look at how the townspeople seem to be zealous of her past and truly are critical of the choices she makes.

    Greek Hoplites Essay

    The shield known as aspis or hoplon is said to be where the origin of the name “hoplite” derived from. However, as stated previously, the term “hoplite” is not just derived from this shield, but the panoply. The shield is round and is created in about 700 BC. Diodorus states that the term “heavy-armed infantry-men” can be derived from the usage of the shield. The original composition of the shield was mainly wood with a small composition of bronze on its rim (itus). It is a shield that is double-grip which is why there are two handles on the interior of the shield. The composition of the shield by 425 CE was thin bronze. The shield is said to painted blazon and is decorated with an emblem that can be personal. As time progressed, the emblem is replaced with a badge of the state in order to help with the identification of friend or foe on the…

    A class list log is a method or format to record one or shorter, specific pieces of information about each child present on that day. It is quick and easy way for teachers to jot down information about the children. A class list log can be used for many things such as attendance or behavior. It helps teachers to keep track of the things that children do throughout the day. It is important to remember to write down the observations you see as they happen! A class list is also something that a teacher can look back on and make comparisons to! Teachers can learn so much through these kinds of logs. They can learn why certain behaviors occur, about the children’s language, small muscles, and etc. One of my examples of a class list log is to observe…

    P RO PE RTIES OF OBJECTS AND M AT E R I A L S Objects have many observable properties, including size, weight, shape, color, temperature, and the ability to react with other substances. Those properties can be measured using tools, such as rulers, balances, and thermometers. Objects are made of one or more materials, such as paper, wood, and metal. Objects can be described by the properties of the materials from which they are made, and those properties can be used to separate or sort a group of objects or materials. Materials can exist in different states—solid, liquid, and gas. Some common materials, such as water, can be changed from one state to another by heating or cooling.…

    Tesslations

    • 349 Words
    • 2 Pages

    This regular tessellation makes use of the simple square and coloring to create this very eye-catching design. I chose this relatively simple figure of tessellated squares because it forms an optical illusion, based on the black and white coloring pattern used in it. I felt that it was one of the best tessellations to use for me personally because I really like how something this simple can seem to be so complex and because of the way that we view it. Even though it is very simple to create this illusion it is very effective. This makes you think that there is some sort of slant or tilt, yet there is none. This tessellation demonstrates how easy it can be to trick your eyes into having a perception about an image that turns out to be completely false. It is all about the way that our brains work. This tessellation makes use of translation only. There is no rotation transformation and no reflection transformation. The main reason why there is not a rotation and reflection transformation is because of the coloring of the squares and the way that they are lined up with the translation pattern used. The squares are translated down and right, then down and right, then down and left, then down and left, and that repeats over and over, as with all tessellation patterns this can go on for infinity. Alternating squares are colored in black, which then contrast with the white squares to create the amazing optical illusion that makes it appear as though these are not straight lines. If the translation pattern was not used for this tessellation then the interesting optical illusion that it creates would not be possible, the slight variation in where each block starts and stops along with the color on each line much exist to have the maximum effect on a viewer’s mind. The tessellation would still exist if this pattern of squares or colors were altered, but would certainly not have the same powerful image as it does in the current configuration that it is…
