Every December we’re treated to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and each year young kids are introduced to classics like Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat, yet the wider public does not appear to know much about the man behind these famous works. To gear up for the release of the CGI-animated film Horton Hears A Who!, we aim to change that by presenting five things you didn’t know about Dr. Seuss, the most familiar and beloved pen name in children’s literature. 1- Dr. Seuss adopted his pseudonym by drinking gin Geisel’s
This museum has so much to view in such a small place that it is incredible. I ended up spending about 1 hour and half just exploring and looking at their collections. The first floor was a bit confusing to get around but loved it all. From taking a mug shot, to being inside one of the intmate cells, the intmate cells were the real thing, they had the actual matress intmates would sleep on they had the little sink they used and the toilet that was fitted into such a compact space, I wouldnt be able to imagine myself sleepin in those beds, and i specially cant imagine my self been stuck in that cell for hrs, months, years. Another great collection that I was astonished by was the collection of locks and handcuffs, wow, I never imagined that so many diffrent handcuffs have been manufactured, diffrent size, shape,
It seems to me that throughout the years TV has become more popular, and most people have at least one TV in their house. Comparing Fahrenheit 451 to our world exposed how close we are to becoming like them. With the government controlling us, ad our addiction to TV; we have to battle against ourselves to prevent becoming like the world of 451. We do have our differences to 451, because we do not burn books. I find it I retesting that Bradbury wrote this book in 1953 and does an excellent job at predicting what todays society would be like.
Natasha Humphreys Hasting Comp 1010 8 March, 2012 Breaking Down the Boob Tube We are all way too familiar with the box in the living room called a TV. What most people do not pay attention to is the variety of shows on this television. Most people are creatures of habit and watch the same show, the same channel or the same genre of shows. Television programs differ in many ways and the best way to compare them is by genre. For those of us that seek adventure, TV shows offer programs that vary from actors to themes to genres and have one of two purposes: to entertain or to inform.
They only “let the nigger” in the bunk house during Christmas and then only purely for their entertainment. Steinbeck regularly refers to his colour, “dark chin…Pink palm” and “pink ears” this shows how significant and important colour was in this society. The contents of Crooks’ room indicate several things. The mix of animal’s medicine amongst his own medicine shows his lowly status. He also has a lot of books and “reads a lot”, which suggests that he is quite intelligent and has a degree of education as well as self-respect.
The misfit toy ad works very well because it compares the AT&T iPhone to a bunch of toys that were the toy that every kid had to have at Christmas time. Now the toys have been forgotten about because there are better toys or better versions of those toys out now. The jack in the box says, “Hey look at the new guy,” and then the pink and white poke-a-dotted elephant asks what the AT&T iPhone is doing there because it can download apps and browse the web.

CREDIT BARRY BLITT In the late nineteen-sixties, Carolyn Weisz, a four-year-old with long brown hair, was invited into a “game room” at the Bing Nursery School, on the campus of Stanford University. The room was little more than a large closet, containing a desk and a chair. Carolyn was asked to sit down in the chair and pick a treat from a tray of marshmallows, cookies, and pretzel sticks.
He became interested in arcade games when he was a small child. His father always took him to the local bar when he was on “babysitting duty.” Henri soon fell in love with the games and received his own pin ball machine as a Christmas present (Doane Henri 2013). Arcade games have been around for quite some time now. Some refer to them as coin-op machines. The newer machines are all involved with other popular video games that people like.
Introduction: Popcorn is the number 1 snack food in the world and runs a close second in the United States to potato chips. Popcorn is eaten in virtually every country in the world. Out of every 100, 99 people have eaten popcorn. Americans eat over 1 billion pounds of popcorn each year, or 70 quarts for every man, woman and child in the U.S., enough to fill the Empire State Building 20 times. In the U.S., popcorn is the most popular snack food eaten at home; beating potato chips, pizza, cookies and candy bars.
We hold on to stress and anxiety instead of getting rid of it with enjoyment. Seven out of ten adults in the United States say they experience stress or anxiety daily, and most say it interferes with their lives as reported by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). Video games can provide that fun for us all. Or can be an escape from reality. When it was eight years old my parents went through many custody battles over my brother and me.
