Step-Stair Investigation
For my GCSE Maths coursework I was asked to investigate the
relationship between the stair total and the position of the stair
shape on the grid. Secondly I was asked to investigate the
relationship further between the stair totals and the other step
stairs on other number grids. The number grid below has two examples
of 3-step stairs. I will use Algebra as a way to find the relationship
between the stair total and the position of the stair on the grid. I
will use arithmetic and algebra to investigate the relationships
between the grid and the stair further. The variables used will be:
Position of stair on grid = X
Sum of all the numbers within the stair = S
Step Size= n
Grid size= g

The poem “My Little Residential School Suitcase” reflects the pain and hardships that Petiquay had experienced at residential schools. The residential schools wanted indigenous children to forget about their culture and learn about European culture. He talks about how he, and fellow indigenous children were physically, emotionally, and sexually abused and were taught to forget about their culture and language. An example of this statement would be, “my mother carefully prepared my little suitcase / She took care to put in it everything I would need / My clothes, some toys I would never see again / I was six years old on this first trip / In my little suitcase, my mother had also put / all the love she had, without forgetting the love from my father” (2-8). Here, Petiquay is talking about what had happened before he
The poem “Behind Grandma’s House” by Gary Soto is a poem about rebellion, through the eyes of a boy who desperately needs attention, who has a lack of respect, and who ironically receives a lesson from his grandmother as a consequence from his behaviors. During the reading of this poem, the reader can feel somewhat caught off guard by its abrupt and disturbing ending. However, after analyzing the author’s own idea of who he was as a child, and the behaviors that may have been expected from him, it gives the reader a better understanding behind the inspiration the author used for his work, more specifically “Behind Grandma’s House.” Many articles have been wrote about Gary Soto’s life and work. However, there is an article titled “About Gary Soto: A profile” by Don Lee, which gives the reader a better understanding of Soto’s background. It also helps in understanding the character that is being represented in the poem.
Home Depot was founded in 1978 by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank in Atlanta, Georgia. With their store, Marcus and Blank revolutionized the do-it-yourself home improvement market in the United States. Home Depot began as a very basic store, operated in a large, no-frills warehouse. Home Depot carries over 35,000 products, with national brand names along with the Home Depot brand. At the start, Home Depot was able to offer exceptional customer service with knowledgeable employees who could guide customers through home renovation projects. Since its opening, Home Depot has experienced incredible growth, and today is North America's second largest retailer, and the largest home improvement retailer. Internationally, Home Depot has expanded into Canada, Mexico, and is beginning to operate stores in China. Home Depot's competition includes Sears, Ace Hardware and Lowes (the main competitor).
It is essential that when using evidence-based practice guidelines to choose a treatment, that variety of research methods are applied so that the best relevant data can be produced. Such methods include qualitative/quantitative research, randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews. Both qualitative and quantative methods produce valuable data. Quantative research produces numeric evidence that is necessary for practice and can be measured and qualitative research produces descriptive data about the subject by using patients views etc. which can also be applied to clinical practice (Broeder et al, 2010)
Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote the poem “An Obstacle” as an autobiographical about her struggles and tough times and facing the obstacles . Gilman lived in Hartford, Connecticut. She was known for her short stories but mostly know for her semi-autobiographical “The Yellow Wallpaper” but she wrote serval different poetry collection and was surely a remarkable female writer of her time and was a role model for authors and readers all over the world. The next year she discovered she had inoperable breast cancer and then committed suicide on August 17, 1935 with overdose of chloroform because she couldn’t handle the stress and struggles in her life anymore. These struggles are revealed in her poem and its heartbreaking quotes like “He got mad
My interests in the STEP programs lies within the fact that it will aid me in achieving a full ride to college. Throughout my whole life, I have been blessed with many amazing things that my parents have worked hard for. By being able to receive a full scholarships, it will be my way of thanking my parents for what they have done for me throughout my whole life. As a result, if I am not able to achieve a full ride scholarship, it would be a huge disappointment. By being apart of the program, I hope to gain knowledge about the steps required to improve my chances of going to a good college and information that will help me become a better human being. In addition, while I am there, I would like to acquire new friends that will hopefully be apart of my life in the future.
“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” is separated into three sections which incorporates shifts in time for more suspense. The story is told in third person. The time starts in the present, actual time, when a man dressed in civilian clothes is about to be hanged off the bridge. When he is hanged he imagines he could scape death by swimming in the river below him. Than to let us know why he is being hanged and some background of his life, it flashes to the pass. In this section is where we discover the name of the man being executed (Payton Farquhar). The third section jumps back to the present where Payton falls through the bridge and loses consciousness and appears
Jessica Alba once said, “My theory is that if you look confident, you can pull off anything – even if you have no clue what you're doing.” This quote describes how Jessica perceives confidence. She says you can portray confidence, even if someone doesn’t know what he or she is doing. However, this is a different way most people perceive confidence. Confidence is knowing what is happening at all time, and being intelligent about things. But Alba’s quote contradicts this. The way people perceive miscellaneous items differ in many ways. Some of the ways people comprehend these items can be contradictory to what they are. People view items, ideas, and events differently, as shown in the themes of “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” “And of Clay Are We
It is common for different writers and filmmakers to place tension into their own works in order to inspire different characters into action or to get certain events to occur. In Ambrose Bierce’s short novel, “An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge,” Bierce makes sure to include this tension surrounding Peyton Farquhar and regarding his hanging using vivid descriptions. At the end of the story, it is revealed in a twist ending that his “escape” was just an illusion and he had really been hung. Robert Enrico’s short film adaptation, An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge, tries to portray and imitate the tension that was stored in Bierce’s piece. Subsequently, Enrico attempts to show this tension visually and audibly, and uses different camera shots and
A painting can not be reproduced and is created solely by the artist, who owns the piece. It is created on a single media via a brush and paints. Conversely, a print can be reproduced thousands of times as long as the carved wooden block has not worn down. The artist draws the outline of the print onto a sheet of paper, and it is sent to a carver. The carver places the image, face down, on a wooden block, typically cherry, and cuts through the paper, in the same manner as the brush strokes. Once carved, the block is sent to a painter who paints one color onto the block and transfers the paint onto a new sheet of paper in a rubbing motion with a hand tool. Should the piece require more colors, a new block is carved from a stamp, one block for
Interpretation The graph 1shows the extraction of the components on the steep slope. The first 5 components are the part of steep slop. The components on the shallow slope contribute little to the solution. The components nine to nineteen are the part of shallow slop. The big drop occurs between the sixth and ninth components, so first 5 components are used for further analysis. The scree plot confirms the choice of six components.
From my understanding of the quote “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference” by Robert Frost, sometimes taking the less popular choice or doing something different from what everyone else is doing can benefit you. I can apply this to my life by being a leader rather than being a follower and by not doing what everyone is doing just to fit in. I think this quote was used in the movie to prove that it is okay to think for yourself and not follow the crowd. The point of the quote was to tell that you can benefit from making the less popular decision. Being your own person and making your own decisions is very important in prospering as an independent adult. If you follow the crowd
Someone is descending the stairs, one ponderous step at a time. The child crouches into a corner and puts
The stairs feel wet and slippery from the leaking of the slide. Im so high up that I'm shivering. I can see the slide from where I'm in line now, and all I see is people enter the slide and then they're gone, if I were to chicken out now I wouldn't be the first. Many people walked back down the stairs but I know I won't be one of them. Looking at it, this slide makes all others look like absolutely nothing. Im now right next to the slide and it looks so frightening that I almost run down the stairs, but I don't. Now, it's my turn, and all that's left is for
