    Steinbeck presents Candy as a character to be pitied in many ways: When Carlson demands that Candy removes the dog from the bunkhouse‚ this makes us pity Candy as he feels he has to apologise for the smell‚ even though he has “.. been around him so much” that he no longer notices “..how he stinks.” The old dog has been with Candy for a long time‚ it is his only companion and Candy ‘squirmed uncomfortably’ when Carlson told him to shoot the dog. This statement shows that it is hard for Candy to

    The rain clambered on our small tin roof as I rolled my stone across our floor. The smooth stone glided over out bumpy floor‚ past my mother‚ who rested in her rocking chair‚ placid‚ the stone continued through the small room until it‚ at last‚ reached my brother‚ Rory‚ his sharp nose deep in a book‚ only his shaggy hair peeking above it. Without looking up‚ his left hand reached down to the floor and gently pushed the stone back. As the stone traveled past her once more‚ my mother stood‚ and announced

    affects the resistance of a piece of wire. Wire is made up of atoms. Electric current is a flow of electrons‚ and it is these electrons that collide with the nucleus of the atoms. Every time this happens‚ it causes resistance. The build up of friction is what produces the heat. There are many variables that could affect the resistance of the piece of wire: • Length • Potential difference • Tension • Temperature • Diameter • Shape • Material of the wire I have chosen to do length because

    investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Resistance is a force which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit so that energy is required to push the charged particles around the circuit. The circuit itself can resist the flow of particles if the wires are either very thin or very long. e.g. The filament across an electric light bulb. How is it measured? The resistance of a length of wire is calculated by measuring

    resistance of a wire Introduction: Resistance is a force‚ which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit. Resistance is measured in Ohms. George Ohm discovered that a circuit sometimes resists the flow of electricity. He called this ’RESISTANCE.’ He even came up with a rule for working out the resistance of a circuit‚ which was: R= V ÷ I V- Volts I- Current R- Resistance Ohms law says the more resistance means more energy is needed for the current to pass through the wire. Resistance

    Hirschi’s Social Bond Theory Describes D’Angelo Barksdale in The Wire Travis Hirschi’s dissertation‚ which eventually became a well-respected and commonly used book in criminology‚ had within it one of the most influential theories of crime that was tested with data and supported with results. The dissertation became known as Causes of Delinquency and was published in 1969 (Kozey‚ 2012). The general theory states that delinquency takes place when a person’s bonds to society are weakened or broken
