.... Tolken wrote “Lord of the Rings” by sitting in his backyard and imagining everything coming to life.^2 He thought about all the “what if” possibilities. But this method of storytelling can be used in much more subtle and/or sophisticated ways than in science fiction or fantasy novels. Through such works as the short story Dreams and the novel “Headhunter” by Timothy Findley, the film “the Matrix”, and the short story the Telltale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, one can see how a writer can use the concept of the imaginary invading reality to write their story. In Dreams, by Timothy Findley, the main characters, two married psych ....

Independent Studies V 1 WHAT WALT DISNEY WORLD REPRESENTS I worked in several capacities while I was down in Disney World.

.... dated to about 2900 BC. This flood left a few feet of yellow mud in the Sumerian city Shuruppak, the ruins of which have been found at Tel Fara about 125 miles southeast of Baghdad. Some but not all Sumerian cities also show signs of this river flood at the beginning of the Early Dynastic I period. According to the Sumerian King List, a legendary king named Ziusudra lived in Shuruppak at the time of the flood. There was also a flood myth about king Ziusudra which includes several story elements very similar to the Genesis flood myth. Shuruppak was also the flood hero's city according to the Epic of Gilgamesh. The flood myth in the Epic of Gilgamesh was adapted from an earl ....

.... also began loosing extra pounds without changing my quantity of food consumption immediately. Bittersweet aspartame is a diet delusion. Controversy has surrounded aspartame since it’s creation in 1879. On a large scale, the public remains uninformed of the hazards of this popular chemical. Why aren’t people asking “What is this stuff made of, and why is the FDA forced to put a warning label on every product containing aspartame?” The average diet pop drinker doesn’t realize how much of this chemical he or she is consuming on a daily basis, or the possible effects aspartame toxicity could have on the body. What is it? In 1879, while deve ....

.... World or developing countries, land conversion is a serious problem; this is because the population increases in such countries are comparatively great and the growing number of people need more land to live on. Increases in food supply cannot keep up with rapid increases in population. In other words, the world population could outstrip its ability to feed itself. More than half the world's population lives with hunger and malnutrition everyday in spite of the fact, that most countries are self sufficient in food supply. This situation exists in most of the Third World because the foreign assistance programs used to improve agricultural output, generally go to the wea ....

.... of the most versatile and talented player in basketball. He can pass like a guard, rebound like a power forward, score like a shooting guard, and run and jump like few others. The floor general is very important to the team because when the team is down by two the floor general will always make the basket to pull the team ahead. He also keeps the team focused and helps bring the younger players around. The leader is Michael Jordan, a player who everyone knows. Michael Jordan is the most recognizable athlete in the world. He is not only the top player of his era but is quite possible the best player ever to wear the uniform of an NBA team. What amazes me about Michael is he ....

.... cases ever. In July of 1949, at a small airforce base in Roswell, New Mexico, a small, brightly glowing object was observed to crash land at about 11:30 P.M. There were many people who had seen the crash, and they had described that it was "brighter, and fell much slower than any meteors" they had ever seen. At St. Mary's Hospital in Roswell, two Catholic nuns, saw the crash, directly north of them, and logged the crash to have occurred on July 4, between 10:00 and 11:30 PM. Southwest of the base, Corporal E. L. Pyles looked to see what at first he thought was a shooting star, only it seemed to be to large to be one. He t ....

.... were on a converor belt. This process is the first opportunity a defendant has to encounter a judge after being arrested. Most of the individuals had been arrested the day before and were then being arraigned on the following day, which goes with our notion of a fair and speedy trail. The crimes which I saw ranged from driving without a license to drug offenses, which seemed to be the crime of choice for the day. The assistant District Attorney had the task of presenting evidence against each and every individual as if it were their personal case, which I found to be straining. The action taken by the judge varied on every case, some defendants were jailed for seven da ....
