Movie night

Last night, me, my extended family, and friends had thanksgiving dinner at my cabin. Just after dinner, talking, and dishes, me, my brothers, and my cousins watched Star Wars episode 1 to start a Star Wars marathon. I liked it, its pretty good. After the movie, we went home because we were tired.

Analyzing Captain America's Letter (Original)

  Captain America: The Rhetorical Soldier Near the end of Captain America: Civil War, Tony Stark (aka Ironman) reads a letter from Steve Rogers (aka Captain America, or Cap for short). The letter is delivered by FedEx to Tony at the Avengers’ compound. (Full text of the letter is included at the end of this essay.) In the letter, Cap shares his honest feelings about Tony, talks about his partnership with Tony’s parents, and shares his hope for the future of the Avengers. In analyzing the text of this letter, I see that its purpose is to show Cap’s true feelings about his relationship with the Avengers and with Tony personally.

The purpose of Roosevelt’s trip was for Muir to convince Roosevelt to put the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove under the control of the U.S. government. After seeing the valley, Roosevelt signed a bill that gave control of Yosemite to the federal government in 1906.     Geographic Areas...

Roots of Knowledge

Roots of Knowledge Introduction When I saw the Roots of Knowledge for my first time on February 16, I was amazingly interested in it. The subjects I love to do are history, music, and nature.  There are many questions I was asking myself: What were the origins of this idea? Who had the idea for creating this window? Who is the artist? What are the ideas or the meaning inside the art of the window?  I will discuss each of these questions in this paper. The Making The the project was created by Tom Holdman, his artists at Holdman Studios, Roots Media, and students from UVU. The way they made the windows is quite interesting. First, they used mind maps to separate it to different eras and timelines. Second, they converted it into a sketch and put it in Photoshop so they could find different images and put them in one window. Third, once they had the design, they put it in Illustrator and created red lines so they could piece out the glass and bring it to the painting r...
