She wears black and dyes her hair unnatural colors to hide where she really comes from, a rich family. She also hides her love for playing piano because she does not want to be classified as a rich kid, but doing so gets classified as a punk or a goth.

One way that Eric Walters was able to confirm relationships are important to a person’s life was through the interaction between Jed and the injured eagle he found. Earlier in the story, Jed explains to the reader how much eagle’s mean to him and to his Tsimshian culture. “ An eagle is more than a bird, it’s part of our heritage and history” (Walters 47). So, naturally, when Jed noticed a bullet hole through its body, he felt the obligation to nurse it back to full health.

Consequently, this relates to the point of humans having an unbreakable relationship with their pets because any pet owner will…

"The farther from Charleston the better! I hope nothing freaky crawls out of that hole" snapped Jenny Rainier. "Get your mind off science fiction and let's get on the move." Winston's remark silenced the refugees. "I suppose so, Mr. Fitch" mumbled Jenny. The air hung low, heavy, and thick. The occasional wall of wind nipped at they group with its coldness.

Using all of his weight, he pulls down on the ropes, hoping he could break the small ceiling beam. No matter how hard he tried the board wouldn't crack. He started pulling on it a second time when he hears a female voice behind him.…

to frequency. Ideally, a filter will not add new frequencies to the input signal, nor will it change the component frequencies of that signal, but it will change the relative amplitudes of the various frequency components and/or their phase relationships. Filters are often used in electronic systems to emphasize signals in certain frequency ranges and reject signals in other frequency ranges. Such a filter has a gain which is dependent on signal frequency.…
The following describes filter types, what they do and how they perform. Along with definitions and detailed graphs, we are hopeful this information is both useful and informative.…
