I chose the novel “The Art of Racing in the Rain”‚ by Garth Stein‚ because my English teacher at the time told me that a dog was the main character. I was intrigued about the fact that this book was written in the dog’s point of view as I felt it would be interesting to hear how the dog felt and read its thoughts. I am a dog person‚ so naturally I would choose the book that was written about a dog. I enjoyed this book because it was a feel good story‚ while relating to everyday life in almost

Moreover‚ many misconceptions exist regarding people with ASD and before I move on‚ I would like to address some prominent myths about autism. Due to the popular movie Rain Man‚ many people in America and elsewhere believe that every individual with ASD is an Autistic Savant‚ as in they are exceptionally gifted in a specialized field‚ such as artistic ability‚ musical acuity‚ and more (Sicile-Kira‚ 2). This is a falsehood‚ as only ten percent of people with ASD have astounding gifts and are considered

or maybe hopelessness‚ causing students to give up on their educations when they had an opportunity to go further. When people feel that there is no hope or chance‚ they will give up. This is what is happening to high-school students leading them to drop-out of school despite the fact that a high-school diploma could be so beneficial to their lives and the fact that it can be prevented. In the article “High School Dropouts Costly to American Economy”‚ Sarah White said‚ “The teachers didn’t care‚

This document describes the experimental process of developing a non-mechanical hot plate wind and rain sensor. It aims to discuss practical aspects of the necessary hardware to fulfil such a function and different software approaches to controlling such a system. Specifically‚ it discusses an experiment based on 30W hot plates controlled by Labview in an attempt to measure changing wind and rain conditions. It also looks at the data gathered in this instance and calibration of the sensors. Finally

The physics concepts that were illustrated in our egg drop project were momentum and energy. In the project‚ we saw how momentum increases as a normal egg without anything to slow it down would crack. That was because the longer that the egg fell‚ the more momentum the egg gains. We also saw that by adding resistance during the fall‚ such as a plastic bag “parachute”‚ would slow down the egg enough so that it would not crack when it reached impact with the ground. The other concept that was discussed

dropout of their high school‚ it is only stealing valuable knowledge from them. It is obvious that the high school drop out rate is increasing rapidly. Why might the rate of high school students be increasing‚ and why do students make such a dramatic change on their life? Some of this may result from the lack of parental guidance‚ bullying in our high schools‚ or teen pregnancy? First of all‚ parental guidance can be the most important element in a student’s education. Students who lack parental

Edward Thomas wrote “Rain” during World War I. His use of the image of rain and his word choices create a mood which is somber and dark. All alone in a house‚ the speaker listens to the rain is confronted with thoughts of death. To Thomas‚ death would be a welcome relief from the misery in which he is living. Thomas says “Remembering again that I shall die / And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks / For washing me cleaner that I have been” (Thomas 3-5). To the reader it makes mood clear

ACID RAIN Acidified particulate matter in the atmosphere that is deposited by precipitation on to a surface‚ often eroding the surface away. This precipitation generally has a pH less than 5and some times much lower depending upon the concentration of acidic components. Acidic deposition principally by the pollutant gases such as sulphur dioxide (so2) and the nitrogen oxides cause acidic deposition. The burning of fossil fuels‚ such as coal‚ forms Sulphur dioxide. that contain high quantities of

my egg drop project I made a contraption with a garbage bag‚ yarn‚ cardboard‚ Popsicle sticks‚ and hot glue. First I cut a medium sized square out of cardboard. Then I stuck Popsicle sticks in the shape of a square with three sticks on each side. After that the sticks were hot glued to the card board from top and bottom. And in order for the egg to be seen from the bottom I had to cut a circular hole into the bottom of the piece of cardboard. To suspend the egg I made a rubber band net. First I took
