Cisneros uses rhetorical devices in her story “Eleven” to not only explain the story but also to show Rachel’s feelings throughout the story. As Rachel talks about her past on her eleventh birthday, the various rhetorical devices serve to allow her to express her feelings to the reader, more so than if she had just used literal language in its place. Without the figurative language, the story would be much more simplistic, as it would be unable to convey the main focus of the story, that of Rachel’s
Art And Mathematics:Escher And Tessellations On first thought, mathematics and art seem to be totally opposite fields of study with absolutely no connections. However, after careful consideration, the great degree of relation between these two subjects is amazing. Mathematics is the central ingredient in many artworks. Through the exploration of many artists and their works, common mathematical themes can be discovered. For instance, the art of tessellations, or tilings, relies on geometry

------------------------------------------------------ [IMAGE] A regular triangle for this task will have the following area: 1/2 b x h 1000m / 3 - 333.33 333.33 / 2 = 166.66 333.33² - 166.66² = 83331.11 Square root of 83331.11 = 288.67 288.67 x 166.66 = 48112.52² [IMAGE]A regular square for this task will have the following area: Each side = 250m 250m x 250m = 62500m² [IMAGE] A regular circle with a circumference of 1000m would give an area of: Pi x 2
The Fencing Problem There is a need to make a fence that is 1000m long. The area inside the fence has to have the maximum area. I am investigating which shape would give this. Triangles: Scalene [IMAGE] The diagram above is not to scale. Instead of having the perimeter to 1000m, only in this diagram, I have made the perimeters of the shape to 10, only to make this part of the investigation easier to understand. We know that the base of all the shapes is 2. The lengths for the equilateral
and is used lots in places (most things use rectangles for design- basic cube .etc). To start with what type of rectangle gives the best result. A regular square or an irregular oblong? I start by having 4 individual squares. [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE][IMAGE] Goes to [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Regular square irregular oblong Now look at how many sides are exposed on each shape- å sides of each cube internal1 å sides of each cube internal2 [IMAGE][IMAGE]Ratio
The perimeter must be 1000m, and the shapes can be regular or irregular. First of all I will experiment with different rectangles, the different triangles, then pentagons. Then I will experiment with more regular shapes (or whatever type of shape has the largest area) to see the effect on area changing the number of sides has. I predict that the largest shape will be a regular circle, and the more sides a shape has and the more regular it is, the larger its area. (Taking a circle as having
Religion as a Form of Expression in the Millennial Generation Throughout the world today, hundreds of different religions exist, and though many have very different beliefs, the similarities between them are almost convincing of a first religion among primitive mankind. But throughout the centuries, different systems and people have evolved, often causing more tension than any other cause. Religions of past and present have often been the source of meaning in people's lives. People in the past
dancing was my hobby. Where I was freely expressing my feelings without fear and intentionally avoid impressing others which is very suggested to Victor Hugo’s quote, since he talked about how music doesn’t have contain lyrics and still be music with expression which can be used in dancing.“Dancing In The Moonlight” by toploader is my music choice, since it brought back so many relevant past of my lifetime such as changing my life from introvert to extrovert throughout high school life. Actually,“Dancing
T-Totals and T-Numbers [IMAGE] This is a T-shape! It allows us to gather information into algebraic formulas to explain the relationships between numbers. [IMAGE]This is the T-Number. It is the central part of our research. If you add up all the numbers in the T, you will find the T-Total! For the T above, the T-Total will be 1 + 2 + 3 + 9 + 16 = 31. 2) Using algebra, we can work out a formula for this T. On a 9x9 grid a T would look like this: [IMAGE] From this we can
Investigating a Ski Jump Background Knowledge: I will use formulas in the prediction to predict what will happen. The main formulas I will use will be Loss of potential energy = mgh m=mass g=gravity h=height Ek =1/2mv² Ek= kinetic energy v=velocity In the experiment the ball bearing will begin with potential energy. In order to predict the distance the ball travels I need to find out the horizontal speed of the ball upon leaving the rail. I will do this by making Ek equal to mgh to
The results show in these chart indicate that there is no cultural gender difference in expression humor or laughter. However, there is difference in what all culture believe humor is. This information is important because it explains why something are important to some culture and not to another. The authors agrees when they quote “in Japan, unlike in the United States, humor is not considered an important coping device. American media praise the use of humor [regardless of occupation] especially
There is no doubt that without the feat of explorers then, there would be no world as we know it now. It is merely the manner of how this new world was “discovered” and how the natives of the land were handled and viewed that draw true reservation. I will give a brief description of the views that Columbus, Cabeza de Baca, de Verrazzano, Hakluyt, and Champlain had of the natives of the land they inhabited.. I start off with he who sailed the ocean blue in 1492, Christopher Columbus. Columbus view
thought and adopted a new one based on opposing principles, his quest to expand knowledge of language has become an intricate yet significant part in the way language is analyzed today. A brief synopsis of both seem to point out there multiple expressions of language and each factor into true acquisition of knowledge as it pertains to one’s world. Language is essential to the communication system between humans to ensure vitality and therefore its very form is innate. The forms of language can be
Expression of Self-worth in Homer’s Iliad The story of the Trojan War as played out in the Iliad is perhaps most gripping for the focus on the role of the individual; the soul is struck by the very concept of a decade-long war and a city-state razed to the ground for one man’s crime and one woman’s beauty. As such, the dynamic between Helen, Paris, and the Trojan people they have doomed is a fascinating one. For while Prince Paris is hated by all of Troy, his right to keep Helen is challenged
Musical Expression and Musical Meaning in Context 1. Some preliminaries. There is a growing body of work in the philosophy of music and musical aesthetics that has considered the various ways that music can be meaningful: music as representational (that is, musical depictions of persons, places, processes, or events); musical as quasi-linguistic reference (as when a musical figure underscores the presence of a character in a film or opera), and most especially, music as emotionally expressive
The Transformation of Beowulf In the length of the poem, Beowulf goes from abandoned child to gallant warrior to King. This transformation, expressed in the tone and content of the poem, shows the importance of the relationship between lord and thane and expresses the ultimate value of that connection. From the difference in battle scenes to Beowulf’s speeches, it is clear that he has gone from a somewhat self-loving hero to a selfless king. Within this change he also goes from serving a lord to
Self-destructive Self-expression in The Yellow Wallpaper In "The Yellow Wallpaper", a story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the conflict centers around the protagonist's inability to maintain her sanity in a society that does not recognize her as an individual. Her husband and brother both exert their own will over hers, forcing her to conform to their pre-set impression an appropriate code of behavior for a sick woman. She has been given a "schedule prescription for each hour in the day; [John]
Dubliners James Joyce wrote the book Dubliners; Joyce expresses many different types of emotions throughout the book. The emotions portray individuals in society, and light and dark. The emotions of individuals are examined throughout the stories by other members in society. The stories that express the ideas are: “The Encounter,” “Eveline”, and “The Dead.” The symbolism of individuals in society expresses many different situations that are happening in the characters lives. The symbolism
complicated than this and freedom of expression has to be restricted at certain circumstances. ‘Expression’ can be implied in various forms such as verbal, non-verbal, visual and symbolic. In general, these include the works of art, radio and electronic transmission, print media, dramatic works including theatre, motion pictures, drawings, engravings etc. The freedom of expression is a basic constitutional right. However, exercising freedom of expression can be irresponsible in narrowly
