You may not be David after the dentist, but there are just some things that make you ask yourself: is this real life? As the saying goes, you learn something new every day. Here is a list of real-life things that you may not have known actually existed until now. Get ready for your mind to be blown away. What looks to be Rainbow Clouds is actually a phenomenon which is also referred to as a Fire Rainbow. The experts at Amusing Planet say it's something called a circumhorizontal arc, which also sounds pretty cool. It looks to me that if the Care Bears where real this is where they would live.This dog's name is actually Roo. She thinks she's a kangaroo, hopping around on her hind legs, while using her tail to balance herself. The Romanian puppy was born with …show more content…
“The first time you saw her, you would think it is a kangaroo.” Said Nikki. From the looks of it she's doing just fine hopping around like a kangaroo. This pup here is pretty amazing.Mouse Deer can be found in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. Even though they are called deer, they do not in fact grow antlers. A full grown Mouse Deer only weighs about 4 lbs and stands only 12 inches tall, making it one of the smallest ungulates on earth. To say I had absolutely no idea that these things existed is an understatement. I mean really a Mouse Deer! Who Knew?Officially called the AeroMobile 3.0. It's made by Slovakian company AeroMobil. It was unveiled last year as a road-ready vehicle with stowable wings that can navigate both city traffic and the airspace in between landings and take-offs from the world’s airports. It's scheduled to be released to the general public in 2017. Ok, Ok now I'm getting pretty excited. Where ever the sign up sheet is for one of these is I'm there. The only thing that worries me is if you want to drive one its a safe bet that you may need to have a pilot's license. 2017 will be here before you know it and I can't wait to
Wouldn’t it be amazing to travel anywhere you wanted to go in the world without a plane to take you there? Well, we’ve all wanted the ability to fly at least once in our lifetime. We would have the luxury to travel anywhere we wanted and we wouldn’t have to worry about the constant struggle to find enough money just to get to the destination. We would learn more about the world by seeing things through a new perspective if we could fly ourselves to it in the blink of an eye. Judith Oritz Cofer as the author shows us this ability through the characters in the short story, “Volar”.
They gather the sheep and then come back to wrap Teofilo up in a red blanket.
Finian’s Rainbow and Flahooley are two renowned musicals created by E.Y Harburg and Fred Saidy, and were played at the Harlem Repertory Theatre located at the 133th street Arts Center. This intimate theatre was founded by Keith Grant, a well known professor at City College of New York. This small center is greatly supported by the Yip Harburg Foundation. The interracial cast of both musicals is something that stood out to me and I appreciated the thought that Grant placed in this entire production. These two musicals have been ongoing and playing at the Harlem Repertory Theatre for nearly two years. Finian’s Rainbow (music by Burton Lane) has been revived many times but Flahooley (music by Sammy Fain) is hardly ever done. However, the songs from Flahooley have been kept alive because its original lead, Barbara Cook, has sung them in many of her cabaret shows.
From the author of Gravity's Rainbow (1973), the famous apocalyptic novel of World War II, comes Vineland (1990), a trip into the California of 1984: a Reagan-era wasteland of yuppies, malls, food-preservatives and, above all, the Tube: the Cathode-Ray Tube. The opening line of Gravity's Rainbow, "A screaming comes across the sky," which describes a V-2 rocket on its lethal mission, finds a way into Pynchon's latest work, albeit transformed: "Desmond was out on the porch, hanging around his dish, which was always empty because of the blue jays who came screaming down out of the redwoods and carried off the food in it piece by piece."
“Can’t Help Falling In Love” was a top hit from the original singer Elvis Presley. His album was called Blue Hawaii. “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” was also a big hit sung by Bruddah Iz who was actually born and raised in Hawaii. These songs were made many years ago, but their beautiful tune still live on today through covers. The cover I chose is called “Can’t Help Falling Over The Rainbow” and it is sung by Kenny Holland and his little sister Capri. They posted their video on YouTube on September 19, 2016 and since then 165,126 people have heard/watched it. When my mother and brother listened to the mashup, they surprisingly acted the same way. They both enjoyed how the music mashup sounded and they were able to connect with the lyrics. Because of this, my mom related more to the song “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” while my brother connected to his favorite song “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” With these two songs made into a mashup, my mother and brother were able to feel the song through its lyrics and conveyed their happiness with swaying side to side and singing along. They both, happily fell in love with the mashup.
The Brilliance That Is Cloud Atlas Some authors have the natural ability to enthrall the reader from the beginning, weave plots that are both entertaining and suspenseful, and end the book with the reader asking, “How in the world did he do that?” David Mitchell does just that in his award-winning novel, Cloud Atlas. Cloud Atlas is a science-fiction book that employs six different plots simultaneously yet separately.
The FAA works on the gradual incorporation of rules and considerations in order to guarantee security and privacy. The U.S. Congress expects that in 2015 commercial drones will be ready to fly under regulated circumstances, but experts said that it would be until 2020 that unmanned aerial system are fully integrated. Nevertheless, laws will be published step by step according to their complexity and grade of autonomy. First small drones will be allowed to fly than larger ones, first drones operated by a ground-based pilot than automate long distance flights, and areas wi...
In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, there are flying cars used to track down Montag in part three. In the last section of the book Montag is running from the government because he is under arrest for having books and killing Beatty. Ray Bradbury introduces the flying cars when he says “Two dozen of them flurried, wavering...and then they were plummeting down to land, one by one, here, there, softly kneading the streets where, turned back to beetles, they shrieked along the boulevards or, as suddenly, leapt back into the air, continuing their search”(119). While these flying cars seem so futuristic, the real world is beginning to develop flying cars of its own.

Peace is the antonym to war, an oxymoron, two terms rarely used in conjunction with one another. Throughout John Knowles’s, A Separate Peace, peace and war cross paths in many occasions. During the primary years of World War II, the students at Devon School went through much pain and distress but also built stronger friendships and harmony during their high school career. And just as the world works through the kinks and unoiled gears of life, the students dealt with the agony. They might not have all made it out alive, but they all learned something from it and became stronger through the experience. Where peace and war collide are some of the most momentous events in their lives that they remember forever. The summer before Phineas breaks his leg is a significant time when the students at Devon first experience peace and war. Other times are during the Winter Carnival and the moments prior to Phineas’ death.
In the physical sense, a rainbow appears after a storm in the sky. It is made up of seven different colors. As it forms an arch, we may look at its shape as being a segment of a complete circle. From the rainbows physical dimensions, Shange draws out other qualities that suit the fluidity and logic of her choreopoem. While it can appear a simple natural phenomenon we take for granted, Shanges choreopoem delivers the rainbow as a complex sustaining figure which forecasts a change in the weather and a change in the life of `the colored girls.' The rainbow is a powerful symbol in Shange's choreopoem. It is not only beautiful in one sense, but it's meaning is rather complex. There is more to the rainbow than its seven colors.
Thomas Ruggles Pynchon was born in 1937 in Glen's Cove, New York. He is the author of V., The Crying of Lot 49, Gravity's Rainbow, Slow Learner, Vineland, and Mason & Dixon. Nothing else is known of this author (not exactly true, but close enough to the truth to make that last blanket statement passable). He has attempted to veil himself in total obscurity and anonymity. For the most part, he has succeeded in this, save for a rare interview or two. In 1974 he received the National Book Award for Gravity's Rainbow. He would have been awarded The Pulitzer Prize as well, but his blatant disregard for narrative sequence led to a rift between the judges and the editorial board. Ultimately, the book was not selected. In fact, no book was chosen that year in the Fiction Category, the first (and only) time a work of fiction did not receive the award. The controversy that followed was considerable. Keeping this in mind, any attempt at an expurgated plot synopsis is laughable at best, therefore will be somewhat refrained from. However, given the brevity of this paper, it is possible to address the setting(s), the chief protagonist, and some interpretations concerning the title of this book.
After reading the novel, The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles, it was difficult to imagine how one could transform the novel into a satisfying film. How could one imitate such descriptive settings and emotions without the advantage of Paul Bowles' wording? Also the novel does not have the plot of a typical movie, even an action or love story, and the ending is not conclusive. Could actors today play the deep and complex characters as they are portrayed in the book? These were some of the complications I considered when deciding how I would produce the movie.
