...Observation of Humming Birds Observation: When taking a hike, you notice that a ruby-throated hummingbird seems interested in your red hat. It hovers over the hat and then darts away. Question: Do ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer some colors more than others when visiting flowers? INTRODUCTION: There have been a number of researches and experiments done when it comes to ruby-throated hummingbirds. The ruby-throated hummingbirds are the only hummingbirds found in Northeast United States. They have great color vision, like many birds, and can see ultraviolent spectrum, unlike humans (1996, All About Birds). PREDICTION: Ruby-throated hummingbirds do prefer some colors other than others when visiting flowers. CONTROL EXPERIMENTAL METHOD: I will conduct a control experiment with 10 ruby-throated hummingbirds, using red, yellow, orange, and purple flowers. I will observe the Hummingbirds over a period of 5 weeks. I will then take pictures of the birds 10 times a day, to see which flower they prefer. RESULTS: In this experiment, I found that the ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer the red and orange flower over any other color. They flock to the red flower, by 1% over the orange. I feel that orange is a close color to red and if the hummingbirds does not get a chance to get to the red flowers, then they will flock to the next best thing. CONCLUSION: Based on this experiment, I accept this hypothesis. I do not feel that there is a need to conduct...

Though he never said a word to anyone, he would hum in a deep voice the National anthem. As he walked and passed anyone, he would just put his head down and keep humming. Never did he mess with anyone, but the neighborhood kids were so cruel to him. They would scream No face is coming, No face is coming, and gathers behind him imitating his walk. Most of the time he would ignore them, but every now and then he would stop, turnaround, lift up his hairy face and growl at the kids, rrrrrrrrrrr. And they would all start running. And if you were brave enough to look back, you could see him smile for a brief second.

...If the case between Philip Malloy and the school district was taken to court, the school district would win. That is because Philip Malloy was actually not suspended for singing, Philip was actually humming not singing, and overall Philip was being disruptive and disrespectful. Philip Malloy was not suspended for “singing. “She’s wrong. That’s all wrong. No way I’m apologizing.” (Avi 74)That shows that Philip had a chance to apologize and not get suspended, but he still didn’t apologize.“He has been suspended for two days-effective today-for causing a disturbance in Miss Narwin’s class.” (Avi 88i)That shows that Philip was suspended for creating a disturbance, not for singing.“Miss Narwin: Did you have to suspend him?” “Dr. Palleni: The rule two infractions in one week.” (Avi 90)That shows that Philip already went to the Vice Principle twice that week, both for infractions....

This only digs my holoe deeper that it wasn’t Mrs. Narwin’s doing or opinion that got him kicked out of school.“Anyway, I got this Mrs. Narwin. She’s a real b*tch….” Pg 52 Why would a ninth grader speak like that to an adult, during the 1900’s, unless he didn’t like the person, in fact despised, them.This proves that Philip does not like Mrs. Narwin at all.This next issue makes you think a little bit more. “Is someone humming?” Pg 60.This proves that Philip was humming disrespectfully during the national instead of what singing like he claimed he was doing.Philip went out of his way to make a fool of himself and annoy his class and teacher to try to get out of Mrs. Narwin’s class.“I don’t know the words.”pg 212. This proves that Philip was humming because he says he doesn’t know how to sing and “singing” without the words is called humming , which is different from singing. If he had known the words it would have been a benefit to his testimony, because he could have proven that he did know the words and was rightfully singing that he was singing the national anthem, there then proving that Mrs. Narwin was guilty of...

...The Cotton Field Tamia Denise 8B This composition will be about the daily life of a slave. From the time they wake up to the time they go to the field.

Before the sun rises, all the overseers on the plantation go to each of the four cabins (there are five people in each) and in unison bang on the side of the cabin. The slaves then all get in a single file line, reach down with their left hand to put their sack onto their right side, and in unison step forward twice and then turn to the left.

...On page 46 of the text she states, “I’ll turn it down,” when Montag once again asked her to turn off the parlor. This shows that she listens to commands, and usually does as she’s told. She’s also humming constantly in the book. When you consistently do something over and over again, it’s usually grown into a routine. In this case, her constant humming causes her to seem robotic and as a routine. On page 53 Captain Beatty states, “Life becomes one big pratfall, Montag; everything bang, boff, wow!”. Relatively speaking, this quote means that life is a routine. SInce Mildred is use to humming and doing as she’s told, it’s become a routine. Doing the same things repeatedly causes you to seem like a machine or a robot who does things over and over. This is how Mildred grows to seem...

Music or sounds help the audience associate and connect certain scenes with their implicit meaning. Wilson’s love for his daughter joined with a regret over lost time that might have, or should have been spent with her, leaves him bound to investigate and avenge her untimely death. “Tell me about Jenny”, is Wilson’s quest to find out what happened to Jenny and his quest causes the narration and action in this film. Wilson’s memories (flashbacks) of Jenny are what keeps him driven in his search for answers. The reoccurring sound motifs in this film are wind chimes, the sounds of the ocean (waves), Wilson’s humming and a unique melody of piano music. These reoccurring sound motifs aid the audience’s understanding of the film’s non chronological temporal order of the story.

The piano music motif is associated with Wilson’s quest for the truth about Jenny’s death. The piano music is used for different purposes throughout the film.
