...Buzz Aldrin 5th Period ! On January 20, 1930 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Buzz Aldrin was born. He graduated from Montclair High School in 1946 then went to the U.S. Military Academy in West Point. His first name was actually not originally Buzz, it was Edwin Eugene. When he was a kid, the youngest of his two big sisters said “Buzzer” instead of “brother”. The name stuck and was later shortened to Buzz, which he legally made his first name in 1979. Buzz became a mechanical engineer and a United States Air Force pilot then of course he became an astronaut. ! Buzz graduated third in his class from West Point with a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering. The U. S. Air Force commissioned him as a Second Lieutenant where he served as a jet fighter pilot in the Korean War, supposedly flying 66 combat missions. He went on to do many more things in the military before he earned his Doctor of Science in astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He worked in the Gemini Target Office before he got selected as an astronaut. ! Buzz was selected to be the Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 11. Apollo 11 was the first ever manned lunar landing and on July 20, 1969, Buzz was the second human to ever set foot on the moon right behind Neil Armstrong. A few minutes after landing on the moon, Aldrin decided that the most appropriate thing to do was to take communion. NASA allowed the astronauts to bring a small bag of personal items with them and Buzz brought...

...understanding of the relationship between the two. Midway through the movie, after problems continuously mount between Woody and Andy’s new toy Buzz Light-Year, the two began to realize their common interest despite, however, their both rather selfish agendas. On one hand you have, Woody, who’d like to see Buzz completely out of the picture, whereas, on the other, Buzz is preoccupied by the Illusion that he has to save the Universe from Emperor Zurg. Eventually, Woody and Buzz realized, that there are people feelings involved in their nasty hate relationship. The other toys had no idea where Buzz and Woody had gone, as this hatred toward one another led Woody to trick buzz into being flung out the window. The director, however, did a great job at making the viewer have feelings for both Woody and Buzz so your personal feelings wouldn’t side with either of the two. By the end, Woody and Buzz would become the best of friends, aimlessly in search for the van that had left them behind when Andy was moving to a new home. The space freak- toy flying Buzz lit a rocket that was attached to him when the angry neighbor Sid had pre-pared to blow him up. Covering his eyes Woody yelled “Buzz you’re flying”, “this isn’t flying, this is falling with style”, that’s important because Woody constantly reminded Buzz that he is a toy and he couldn’t fly, whereas Buzz, came to the realization that he was indeed just a toy, which showed that the two had come a long...

...In response to declining market share to McDonalds and Wendy’s, BK needed a different direction in how it communicates with their customers. They chose an ad agency that can help them to generate buzz via unorthodox methods that their main target audience of younger males can connect with. They were able to reach their objectives. With its focus on the “super fan,” does BK risk alienating other customers? What are the implications of this? There is always risk of alienating customers when you do not focus your communications methods to specifically target them. However, in 2003 BK found itself in a situation where they were alienating their main customers by not focusing on them, the “super fan.” Since the “super fan” accounts for more than fifty percent of total sales, it made a lot of sense for BK to attempt to get back into good standing with this segment of the population. People tend to visit restaurants in groups and BK knows this. Therefore, by attracting their biggest fans back to the stores they are in turn also attracting their family and friends whom they share a meal with. By focusing on a more targeted audience to advertise to BK did risk losing some customers in the process, but the net net gained a larger more loyal customer base.

...The Evil Nature and Evil Omen “Design” by Robert Frost and “I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died” by Emily Dickinson use natural objects as symbols. In the poem “Design,” life forms within nature are connected and under the influence of a greater consciousness. In “I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died,” Emily Dickinson talks about seeing a fly as she takes her final breath. By focusing on natural objects within the poems, both poets reveal the negative nature of their chosen symbols. In the poem “Design,” a spider symbolizes death; in “I heard a Fly Buzz When I Died,” a fly figures as the omen of death. In first stanza of “Design,” Frost describes a spider as “dimpled,” the flower like a “froth,” and the moth like “white satin.” However, in line 4, the spider, flower, and moth are also described as “assorted characters of death and blight.” Frost chooses his words carefully throughout the entire poem. Deirdre Fagan and Robert Seltzer state that “he intentionally contrasts the white innocence of the description of all three characters with the seemingly horrific actions they undertake. Even the spider, which is apparently the exterminator, is described in terms usually applied to infants (‘dimpled’ and ‘fat’)” (Fagan and Seltzer 49.) At this moment, it is difficult to understand how innocence could turn to death and evil. Frost describes the moth as being made of “satin cloth” and the spider as a “snow drop spider” (Frost 7). These reveal Frost’s appreciation of the beauty of the...

...Mr. Bowen (Buzz) McCoy (Managing Director) enjoyed a welcomed opportunity to collect his thoughts and engage in personal travel. Accompanied by his friend Stephen, Buzz embarked on a trip of a lifetime in Nepal as they hiked the Himalayas. Half-way through their trip, they would need to ascend an 18,000-foot pass over a crest in order to reach the village of Muktinath, an ancient holy place for pilgrims. Buzz, who had suffered pulmonary edema six years earlier, and Stephen, who was starting to demonstrate signs of altitude sickness, were joined by four backpackers from New Zealand. As they rested at 15,000 feet, one of the New Zealander’s that had gone ahead came staggering down with a body over his shoulder. An almost naked, barefoot body of an Indian holy man (Sadhu) that had succumb to the elements and was suffering from exposure and hypothermia. The New Zealander, not wanting to jeopardize his chances of reaching the pass in time, left the Sadhu with Buzz and the Swiss group that had caught up to them. Once they had clothed the Sadhu, and realizing that this delay could jeopardize their chances of crossing the pass, Buzz and the Swiss left the Sadhu with Stephen. Stephen waited for the Japanese team to arrive and asked them to take the holy man down to the village. Once they gave him something to eat and drink, Stephen and the Japanese also continued their ascent, leaving the listless holy man alone. The moment the Sadhu was “entrusted” to Buzz by the New Zealander’s...

...I was reading Sunny Side Up,a graphic novel book by Jennifer L. Holm. Sunny Side Up has 224 pages, the pages are mostly pictures and barely any words, so you could finish it a couple days or hours or mixtures, it depends if you read fast or not. According to an Amazon customer they think this is an amazing book, “Absolutely awesome book, although my daughter and I weren't expecting it to be a comic. But I REALLY love how it has flashbacks back to her previous summer and things that happened to her brother, Dale.”I think Sunny Side Up is more for 6th grade and up, because of the Dale, and the grandpas situations and I don’t think those pictures are appropriate for little ones. The protagonist is a girl named Sunny. Sunny is a...

...story that goes with this poem starts out on a farm, life on a farm is rough and work never stops. If the work stops than there is no way to provide for the family. Now the poem starts out with a boy doing a man’s job, most likely his father’s job, which is cutting wood with a buzz saw. The first line in the poem starts off with, “The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard” (Frost 1). The first thing that pops into mind is a wild animal, namely a wolf, which is being territorial about its land. In this case, the buzz saw seems to be against the child doing a job not fit for him and is demanding its original owner. This is where the problem subtly presents itself because the buzz saw is acting like a wild animal being territorial about who uses it. Of course the child does not realize the problem but he will soon. But when his sister comes out to let him know supper is ready everything goes wrong, “His sister stood behind him in her apron / To tell them ‘supper.’ At the word, the saw, / As if to prove saws knew what supper meant, / Leaped out at the boy’s hand, or seemed to leap” (Frost 13-16). Right here the saw “leapt” at the boy at the word “supper”, the result is the boy’s hand being cut off. This goes back to the boy doing a man’s job and the saw “feeling” that there is an intruder in its territory, so the saw...
