For the Third Quarter SSR Project I chose the book Both Sides Of Time by Caroline B. Cooney. I settled on this fiction book not only because I’ve read all three books in Cooney’s series Time Travelers Quartet, but it just so happens to be my favorite out of all of them. This book is gripping to me because of the events happening in the book. A hopeless romantic going back in time, involved in two love triangles in two different centuries, then forced to leave one that she loves either way. I relish
First, there is my dad’s side of the family, or the Duffy crew. The Duffy side is surprisingly ordinary. I don’t know of many people that can say that about their families, but I believe my dad’s side is as normal as any family can get. He has
FIrst and foremost, there is a difference between the musical West SIde Story directed by Jerome Robbins and the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare seen in the first scene of each. In Shakespeare’s tragic play, two houses are feuding. The two royal houses are the Capulets and the Montagues. Juliet is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague. And then in West Side Story, there are two gangs in New York that each lover’s family is a part of. Maria’s brother is a part of the Puerto Rican gang called ‘The
“With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not one, but truly two”(Stevenson 42-43). According to Robert Louis Stevenson in his piece of literature and its them in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde there are two sides to a human mind. Stevenson beliefs that the human being has two sides, the good and the evil and

West Side Story is set in New York during the 1950’s, meanwhile Romeo and Juliet takes place Verona around 1530. Shakespeare’s beloved tragedy is written as a play with iambic pentameter throughout.

argument is a successful negotiation should end with mutual agreement. By the end, both party’s relationships should not be severed or damaged in anyway. Efficiency is also very important because no one wants to feel like he or she is wasting his or her time. The longer a negotiation lasts the more of a risk a person will lock in to a position. With any negotiation, the positions will flex and change as the sides reach a compromise. The more a position is set and focused on the less attention
One of these renditions is a play called "The West Side Story". West Side Story is an energetic, widely-acclaimed musical, a modern-day, loose re-telling of Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet tragedy of feuding families. The two stories are similar in a multitude of ways, even though their settings are centuries apart. Romeo and Juliet is set in the 1500’s, and West Side Story set in the 1950’s. Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story both have a lot in common as well as major differences
competitive tendencies. Distributive bargaining as described in our textbook is where both parties negotiate to their advantage. Each side always keeps their opening position, resistance point and target in mind while negotiating. The goal for this type of negotiation is to influence the other party (anchoring is a good example of this and is brought up in class a lot) and to find out as much as you can about the other sides positions, mainly resistances points, so you can get a deal as close to their resistance

I will be talking about the body language, costumes, colour schemes, the sounds, music and camera angles used in each of the films. Both these films are about two lovers who fall in love despite being in rival gangs or families, which eventually leads to both lovers from both the films to being killed or

the laboratory with the use of the U-tube, as seen in this question, to highlight explicitly their differences. Diffusion is often considered the more straightforward of the two conceptually, while osmosis may come off as counterintuitive, however both actions exist and are of extreme importance to biological processes. Diffusion is the movement of molecules (of sugar, of dye, of salt; etc.) across either a permeable membrane or no membrane, from a region of higher concentration of said molecules
the time of war displaying the idea of opposite forces uniting on the occasion of Christmas and exchanging Sainsbury treats. This text promotes the idea of being together despite being in opposing army sides in battle by using the setting and symbols of Christmas and chocolates.

Blind Side” and the “Freedom Writers,” are two different genre films, they follow different itineraries and ideas. Movies can be seemly different, but can have the same message. “The Blind Side” and “Freedom Writers,” are the perfect example of demonstrating how stories can follow different plotlines, but can hold the same meaning. Furthermore, both movies share similarities of people dealing with huge obstacles and overcoming life-changing events that impacted their lives every day. In both films
The force is calling, a power that has the ability to lure oneself to one side or the other. The two forces that make up the galaxy of Star Wars is the light and the dark side. The force is an energy field created by all living things in the galaxy. The force is connected through midi-chlorians which are organelles that live inside each individual. The higher the midi-chlorian count the more connected you are to the force, making you more valuable. The theory of evolution is that the midi-chlorians

On one side of the painting you can see machines with their cable lines buried into the ground, skyscrapers and smoke stacks while on the opposite side, flowers with their roots buried in the ground, figurines, what looks to be a pile of rock with cloud formations showing both sun and moon. This painting depicts representation for both Mexico, in which Kahlo is originally from and the United States, in which she was currently
takeover of the Western Front. After this battle, both sides dug trenches to maintain their positions. Both sides entered into a stalemate over the next four years. Each side battled from trenches making very little progress in their efforts to defeat each other. The trench warfare that took place over a few hundred yards of territory and cost both sides enormous casualties. Trench warfare proved to be a failure for both sides. The trenches built by both sides started as simple ditches. These foxholes were
Many subtle battles between good and evil have been waged since the beginning of time. Whether it be wars between cultures or countries in real life, great battles in literature, or final fights in films, the conflict never ends. This fact is evident in the movie, The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon. As a group of heroes brought together to save the world, the Avengers obviously represent good. Loki and his army of aliens represent evil as they try to take over the Earth. Throughout the movie,
