Moving Train
906 wordsIt is a quiet, Saturday afternoon, and the overcast humidity of the air gives me an obscene sense of nonchalance. Time in hand, I peruse a 'Survival Handbook', a sort of "Pessimist's Guide to the World". It was given to me as a Christmas present, and its perverse implication of Murphy's Law amuses me. I would assume that its pleasant uselessness would appeal to all who share my insatiable appetite for superfluous information. A smile creeps onto my face as I remember the one objective truth abou...

Shift In Attitude To Womens Equality
2,582 wordsa) Whilst women werent trained in medicine during this time period, their traditional roles as healers and midwives were still important ones but women only ever performed them.

They would also hand down certain recipes by word of ...

Movie Strangers On A Train
311 wordsStranger On A Train According to me, the model of 'the classic cinema' is respected in the movie Strangers On a Train. The movie starts on a train, where we are introduced to the two main characters, having a conversation. The subject of the conversation is basically the most important part of the setup. By listening to them, we could predict the direction that the story was going towards. Throughout the rest of the introduction, we are introduced to the rest of the important characters. The fir...

Final Day
584 wordsTaking Care of the Children Last year I was able to work with a group to teach others about issues dealing with the children of today. I was approached by a group to put on an eight-hour seminar that concerns children. No one was sure what they wanted except that it would be with a church group that had a day care that operated during the day. I decided to take on the project and began to do my research. The topic of children brings up a lot of different areas that you can go. At first, I starte...

My First Flight
760 wordsPlane Nuts The date was May 26, 2005, and was a day that my life would change forever. I walked out of the flight attendant group interview session (a "cattle call" if you will) with a good feeling. Now, I played the waiting game, will I or won't I receive a letter in the mail inviting me to training. What seemed like an eternity, in actuality was a week, I received the letter. I ran upstairs to my apartment, and on the way up noticed it was a very thin envelope. I opened the letter with a bit o...

Neurosurgeons
438 wordsThis is the book that every neurosurgeon would like to have written his or her version of, but probably hadn't the time. It is the account of a neurosurgeon's training from medical school to the end of residency, in this case in an American training programme in the 1970's and 80's. Although aimed at the public rather than at neurosurgeons, I could not put it down. Of course, I am biased: I am probably much the same age as the author and shared many of his experiences, or at least the British ve...

One Scene The Train
881 wordsThe General (1927) was one of Buster Keaton's more famous films and one of his personal favorites that he made. He was known as the Great Stone Face but Buster Keaton was just able to keep his composure in the center of mass destruction and chaos. Many other silent actors like Charlie Chaplain often used facial expressions and reactions to get a point across but Keaton always remained calm and relaxed whenever he was on screen. The General (1927) was an epic war film and one of the most expensiv...

Being Cruel To The Blacks
875 wordsThere is sufficient evidence in the two stories to fully agree with this view, however there is also evidence which shows that the weak and powerless can use the rich to their advantage. For example, in 'The Train... ' it would seem as though the young husband had exploited the vendor by buying the carving at such a cheap price. However, it is possible that the price paid by the man was more than what the vendor expected in the first place. In 'The Tall Woman' the odd couple live a very happy li...

There after numerous hugs and hellos, I go to the kitchen where fragrant aromas find their way to my nose. Here is where we talk of present day things such as my aunt's job as a teacher or my other aunt's job as a government worker. The real stories, however, don't start until we are all seated over macaroni and cheese...

Types Of Pilot Jobs
1,175 wordsOut of many careers, there is a great deal of training required to succeed in the world today. The thought of most people is that the more education you seek, the more money you can make. Doctors, lawyers, and many others must go to school far more than the regular 4 years of post education. Nevertheless, I feel pilots don't make enough money for all the cost, risk, and training required. "Lake Powell flight 659, turn heading 340 o, cleared for ILS 34 R into Salt Lake City".
