...see a lot of Chuck Jones style with the UPA cartoon “ Gerald McBoing Boing”. There are a lot of comparisons in the style of animation between “The Dover Boys” and “Gerald McBoing Boing”. I would first like to say that the narrations style is somewhat similar between the two animations. Both use a narration style throughout the entire cartoon. It also seems that both of the animations use minimal quality to the background. Which is the opposite that you would see in most cartoons from that time, and the opposite of Disney. I believe the use of minimal backgrounds for both Chuck Jones and the UPA allowed them to save time and money when creating their animations. This is known to be stylized animation, which was first used by Chuck Jones and then later made famous with animation from the UPA. But not only was the style of animation similar for the two films. I also feel that there are some types of similarity with the way the characters are drawn in “Gerald McBoing Boing” to where they almost resemble the style of drawing for the characters in “The Dover Boys”. It seems to me that the Chuck Jones style of animation is heavily used through the animation of “Gerald McBoing Boing”. But although there are some similarities with each cartoon. There are also some differences between them. Even though the two animations have some similarities, the one thing that sets the two apart is the fact that “Gerald McBoing Boing” does not have the comedic humor...

...THE IMPACTS ON ABORIGINAL PEOPLE AFTER THE FIRST FLEET ARRIVED European settlement had a severe and devastating impact on Indigenous people. Their dispossession of the land, exposure to new diseases and involvement in violent conflict, resulted in the death of a vast number of the Aboriginal peoples. The small percentage of Aboriginal people who did not die during these early decades of the colony, were not unaffected. The impact of the white settlers changed their lives, and the lives of future generations, forever. It is believed that at least 750 000 Aboriginal people were living in Australia at the time of Captain Cook's arrival. These people were divided into around 600 different tribes and had hundreds of different languages. Archaeological evidence suggests that the ancestors of the modern Indigenous people of Australia migrated to the continent more than 50 000 years ago. Isolated from external influences, the Aboriginal peoples developed their own way of life, in accordance with their religious and spiritual beliefs of the Dreamtime. Despite knowing of the existence of these peoples, the British considered the Australian continent to be a terra nullius under English law. Terra nullius is a Latin term meaning 'land belonging to no one.' Eight years later, the British went ahead with their plans to establish a penal colony in New South Wales. On 26 January 1788, the First Fleet, led by Captain Arthur Phillip, arrived in Sydney Cove. The dispossession of Aboriginal peoples...

...Nowadays, people have right to travel and study abroad wherever they are welcomed. This means human beings have a primary human right to mobility not only across states but also across nations. As a new country, Australia values the riches of cultural diversity and community sophistication, and all religions are accepted. This is a vibrant multicultural society to the world, and it has a rich and complex migrant history. Culture comprises of values, beliefs, moral laws, customs and habits. Interaction between cultures is the place of argument and change. Today, Australia is also one of the countries that attract contemporary travelers to visit either for working, studying and pleasure. This trend encourages not only the growth of economy but the improvement for tourism, hospitality and events as well. I would like to share some of my personal experiences of Australian culture since I first came to Sydney for studying advanced diploma 3 years ago. As a Vietnamese student, when I come to Sydney, this multi culture country is totally different from Vietnam. I have been living there for about 3 years, I realize that Australian people also known as Aussies are very friendly, polite and they are speaking English as their first language. The first thing I was shocked is the fact that some teenagers use 2 fingers to make “V” symbol with their tongue but it is not like “Victory” like in Vietnam or United States, it is a really bad meaning in sexual way. In Vietnam, when someone invites...

...Rainforest Ecosystem Functions Ben Barr, Melodie Ocampo, Marline Pierre, Martha Tejada BSBH/ENV100 October 17, 2011 Wendy Armstrong Rainforest Ecosystem Functions The rain forest can be believed to be a living organism; they are a forest categorized by the amount of rain that falls throughout the year. Rainforest are some of this planet’s most complex ecosystems. “They once covered 14% of the earth's land surface and now they cover a mere 6%” (RainTree, 2010). Nonetheless, more than half of plant and animal species make it their home. It is home to some magnificent creatures and even some unidentified species. The largest part of the plants and animals that exist in the rainforest are endemic, which means they do not live anywhere else in the world. For this paper, Team C will discover the different aspect of the rainforest; also, how it functions within itself. Rainforest Climate The rainforest climate is humid, and has rain most of the time. Michael, (2001),"The sun warms the land and sea and the water evaporates into the air. The warm air can hold a lot of water vapor. As the air rises, it cools. That means it can hold less water vapor” (para. 1). When the warm meets, the cold vapor happens, clouds produced, and clouds make rain. Adapting to the climate the plants make up the underlining of the rainforest. Moreover, the rainforest is hot because of where it is to the equator. In addition, its plant life will die out if the temperature...

...Gilliland1 The New Guinea Rainforest By: Maranda Gilliland Gilliland2 Maranda Gilliland Ms. Percefull Introduction to Geography 4 01 2012 The New Guinea Rainforest The island of New Guinea is the second largest island in the world. It is located one hundred kilometers north of Australia. It also has one of the largest tropical rainforests in the world, and is one of the last remaining expanses of tropical rainforest left in the world. The New Guinea Island still has parts that have been untouched and in some places on the island, the natives have never seen a white person. The rainforest however is being rapidly developed in the areas that are accessible. In the rainforest there are a large variety of plants and animals that are only found in this location. This is one thing that makes the New Guinea rainforest so special and unique. It is definitely a place worth preserving. It is also one of the few places on earth that the indigenous people still live on the land. There is a threat to the forest and all that inhabit it. People are logging and mining the forest, which is destroying it. If it is allowed to be destroyed and demolished, thousands of species of rare plants and animals along with homes of the people who live there will be destroyed along with it. The New Guinea Rainforest along with all other rainforest has life in it that should be protected, the destruction of the forest has dire consequences and effects on everyone, whether we realize it or not...

...Australia seems to be stuck between its economic interests, which lie with China and Asia, and traditional ties with the America. General Peter Leahy warns of US-China collision FORMER Australian army chief Peter Leahy has urged Australia to tread warily in expanding its military ties with the US to ensure they do not "lead to increased tension and even conflict" with China. [pic] the Australian, 12 April, 2012 Warning against becoming "caught" between the US as its security guarantor and China as its economic underwriter, Professor Leahy has welcomed Australia's decision to play host to US marines, but noted that "too much of a good thing" could put unnecessary pressure on China. His comments, in an opinion piece in today's edition of The Australian, came as the China Daily state-owned newspaper hit out at Australia's expanding links with the US, warning they could spark a collapse of trust and endanger Sino-Australian economic ties. In a strongly worded editorial, the newspaper yesterday also warned that the Gillard government's decision last month to ban Chinese communications giant Huawei from bidding for work in the $36 billion National Broadband Network had created the perception in Beijing that Australia wanted to obstruct Chinese companies. But, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insisted her nation wanted close and peaceful relations with Beijing, Julia Gillard rejected the Chinese newspaper's suggestion that Australian foreign policy was...

...STUDY ABROAD INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS – MAN 4956 AUSTRALIA – SUMMER A 2012 CITY-AS-TEXT ASSIGNMENT PART A As I embarked on my 20 hour trip to Sydney, Australia I couldn’t help but to wonder what lied ahead. I have had certain interest since I was a child in visiting this country but as many people do, I had certain preconceptions. The only thing I knew of this country was what I had seen on TV on the Discovery Chanel about the animal population; which the country is home to more than 140 species of marsupials (animals with pouches to carry their young), including koalas, wombats and the Tasmanian devil, now found only in the Tasmanian wilderness. Australia is also home to many unique animal groups thus creating in my mind a fear for both the marine life and other animals known only to reside there; and no there are no kangaroos bounding around downtown. I was also concern about the culture shock, I had this idea that Australians where more tall, light skin, blue eyes, blonde hair, but that quickly change upon my arrival ; there’s a diversity in culture (mostly Asian) and both man and women were not to tall. My idea of an open fields and small dessert like rural areas and under developed city quickly changed upon my arrival, while much of the land is grassland or desert, Sydney is a highly developed city with an economically advanced mixed economy. The city is much developed with so many places to visit like: The Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbor, which overlooks the...

...and export of uranium is harmful for Australia Issue 3: Environment It has been argue that for decrease the environmental damage caused by uranium mining, the rehabilitation method and strict regulation are should be carried out by every mine owners in Australia. One of the previous study also showed that the Ranger uranium mine has fulfilled the proper tailing control and has had great water management system for every Northern Territory’s mine companies to cover the tailings and waste rock produced by uranium grounds (Harries, et al, 1997). In addition, by this rehabilitation method it could modify the prior environment hazards, for instance it was found an uranium mines was reinstated under modern accurate environmental controls in Nabarlek, Northern Territory (Hancock, et al, 2006). Despite the fact that there is a rehabilitation method and strict regulation enforced by Australian Government with the aim to control the environmental damage, nevertheless nowadays the environmental problem from uranium grounds still exist, the improvement for reduce the damage was not completely success. It has been proofed that the water level to release the uranium wasted was 450 times higher than entire Australian drinking water level (Wu, et al, 2007). Furthermore, critics said the rehabilitation method was a successful story, where this statement could not be verified. For a case, the restoration of Radium Hill uranium mine in South of Australia still contaminated by soil which this...

...Harrison are extrapolations of the Australian identity and the issues and concerns contained within the places, people and the wider Australian community. The societal issues of missing children and national and personal identity are artistically weaved into the stories of the plays. Audiences are not only entertained by these strong pieces of Australian Contemporary Theatre (ACT), they are encouraged to connect with and appreciate the message within. Cameron’s portrayal of an idyllic Australian neighbourhood provides the ideal setting for the message he conveys throughout RM. The sinister characteristics of suburbia are buried deep under the perfect veneer of Flaming Tree Grove, behind the closed curtains of each house. In contemporary Australia the picturesque understanding of a friendly neighbourhood is no longer relevant as nightmares of children going missing and being unable to trust your neighbour occur constantly and nobody can be trusted, this clearly elucidates Cameron’s vision in which he comments on “proximity does not equal intimacy”. The corruption of innocence does not only affect the immediate family of missing children but also extends to the community as each person is trapped within the internal world of Flaming Tree Grove. The fractured fairy-tale motif runs concurrent throughout the entire play. Fairy-tales, which teach morals and warn of wrong doings, are overturned as Ruby is taken upon a visit to Grandmother but the ‘wolf’ is unknown and the huntsman, Ray...
