a good movie has to be an action‚ comedy‚ or horror movie for me. Second‚ the movie itself has to contain a plot worth watching. To further elaborate on the subject‚ here are my favorite 5 movies. Which of course is The Matrix‚ Fight Club‚ Saw 2‚ Half Baked‚ and Snatch. The Matrix is a movie about a computer hacker Thomas Anderson has lived a relatively ordinary life. But to his intelligence he thinks is in the year 1999‚ that is until he is contacted by the enigmatic Morpheus who leads him into

‘Unrelated Incidents’ and one other poem. The language employed in poems ‘Unrelated Incidents’ and ‘Half-Caste’ effectively portrays the discrimination both poets receive. The writers’ use of language shows how they feel and how they deal with the discrimination. Both poems show positive diction. ‘Unrelated Incident ‘ is written as third person‚ making it feel we are being directly spoken to and half-caste is written in first person so the reader can empathise with the characters feelings. ‘Unrelated

HALF-CASTE and PARADE’S END M-meaning Half-Caste is a poem written by John Agard‚ and is a protest about the way he is treated because of his mixed parentage. He believes that humour is an effective way of challenging people’s opinions. He mocks the idea of mixed race people being ‘incomplete’; he is baffled and amused at the idea of being a half a person; he is angry that people are prejudiced and narrow-minded. He speaks with his native accent in English and this along with his anger makes his

Abstract: Finding the half-life of Aluminum-28 is the purpose of this lab. The class met at the Radiation Center and exposed small amounts of aluminum to energetic neutrons and watched the samples decay. After creating a table with background count and gross counts of the aluminum remaining at fifteen different one-minute intervals‚ this allowed the net counts per minute at each interval to be found as well. Next a graph of the net cpm verses time was plotted. After each interval was plotted

despite there being many varieties. Looking for Alaska by John Green and Half my Facebook Friends are Ferrets by J. A. Buckle both have excellent examples of the theme of friendship with the main characters‚ Miles “Pudge” Halter in Looking for Alaska‚ and Joshua “Josh” Walker in Half my Facebook Friends are Ferrets. Through comparing and contrasting‚ the differences and similarities between the two events will be examined. In Half my Facebook Friends are Ferrets‚ the major event in which the theme

part one of this experiment was to discover how the properties of an electrochemical cell works. An electrochemical cell is based on an oxidation-reduction reaction and is composed of two half reactions: an anode and a cathode half reaction. Oxidation typically occur at the anode and reduction at the cathode. The electrochemical cell produces an electrical current which is driven by the potential differences in the two half reactions.
