Justin Taglianetti and I decided to construct a simulation of the Sydney Harbor Bridge located in Sydney‚ Australia. Our bridge‚ opened in 1923‚ is a steel arch bridge that is connected at the helm by two towers. It has hinges on both ends to allow for expansion and contraction of the steel during times of heat and cold. This prevents the bridge from collapsing in on itself and permits the eighteen centimeters of size change during a normal day. On our bridge model‚ we changed the idea of it being

My frosted breath hung like cigarette smoke in the mid-October air. Why is it so cold? my face seemed to scream. Toes sliding around in my shoes like ice cubes‚ I huddled behind the mass of fellow cross country runners as we hurried towards the field house at Glenbrook South High School. For the first time since late March‚ frost dusted the grass‚ turning it an icy green. Although I was wearing three layers of clothing‚ each thicker than the previous‚ every breath I took sent shivers running down

Drive Safe The Frontier Post‚ an English newspaper mostly based in the Middle East‚ released a particularly powerful advertisement in 2013 to promote safe driving. At first glance‚ it would appear that the advertisement is a picture of a firearm‚ front and center‚ placed in the spotlight of an otherwise gloomy backdrop. In reality‚ the advertisement depicts a set of car keys‚ cleverly arranged to resemble a revolver. Underneath the gun lies a very somber message‚ “Takes one life every 25 seconds

Rhetorical Analysis – Food Inc. ‘Food Inc’‚ is an informative‚ albeit slightly biased‚ documentary that attempts to expose the commercialisation and monopolisation of the greater food industry. The film attempts to show the unintended consequences resulting from this‚ and for the most part this technique is very effective; however there is an overreliance on pathos in lieu of facts and statistics at times. ‘Food Inc’ starts off with a camera moving slowly through supermarket shelves with

You have an island hopping campaign that had some of the most brutal and deadly battles of the entire war. The war in the pacific showed great feats of code breaking‚ leadership‚ and willpower. You also have some of the most skilled admirals going up against each other in historical naval battles like The Battle of the Philippine
