    In the book The Misfits, the events in the book largely affect the characters and how they feel about themselves. At the beginning of the story, Bobby believes that it is best to not make ¨waves,¨ or draw attention to yourself. He also thinks that people are dealt a hand. Some people get a royal flush, and others get a pair of deuces, and some get a string of cards that no matter how they are played will never add up to a winning hand. He thinks even if you try and never give up, and if you look at the bright side of things, you probably won't get anywhere. But, as he later learns through a series of events, it will pay off to try and to put effort in a cause you believe in.…

    One of the ways that the producers made the film fun and easy for all ages to understand, was they used little, fuzzy, blue birds to act out the story. The bird’s actions and expressions made it easy to understand that they were not very nice. The ending revealed the true intentions of the film. It describes very clearly how bullying happens and what the consequences are. The consequences of the birds were that they all got flung off the wire and lost all of their feathers, because of their actions toward the friendly bird that they did not like.…

    Robert Owen

    • 2889 Words
    • 12 Pages

    Robert Owen was born on May 14, 1771 in Newtown, Montgomeryshire, Wales. He was the sixth of seven children. Robert Owen was a unique person because he focused heavily on helping out the poor, and earning profit in a way that was highly unusual. He felt that keeping his employees in a safe working environment was essential to the success and quality of the product. Robert Owen insisted on decent working conditions, livable wages, and education for the children. Owen believed that if human beings were treated humanely, both productivity and profits would increase. The outcome of the New Lanark community, which quickly gained international fame, demonstrated Owen’s idea that people are influenced by their environment or surroundings. In the New Lanark community, Owen enhanced his workers environment; he also managed to obtain an increase in profit and productivity. In 1824, Owen and his family moved to the United States in order to pursue his Utopian ideas. He did so by purchasing 20,000 acres of land in New Harmony, Indiana. Unfortunately, the two year experiment of the New Harmony society was a total failure for Owen. The community failed due to the lack of individual sovereignty and private property (Gorb 131). Owen’s life was filled with both success and failure in his plans and ideas. This paper will explain how Robert Owen managed to be successful in Scotland with the creation of the New Lanark community, and contrast this success with his experiment that failed in New Harmony, Indiana.…

Robert went to London after the death of his father as an apprentice to the painter Sir Peter Lely. Hooke’s inability to withstand the fumes of the pigments in the paint caused him to spend little time with Sir Lely. He then enrolled in Westminster School of Richard Busby. Where Busby saw the potential in Hooke for his mechanical skills and took him into his own home. In 1653 he left Westminster and went to Oxford and took the position of chorister at Christ Church.

He was first to hold this position which was meant to be temporary, but was made permanent in 1655. Then in 1677 He was appointed Secretary to the Royal Society a position he held until 1682. In 1670 Robert Hooke released his law of elasticity which states that the stretching of a solid body is proportional to the force which is being applied to it. He was a fossil enthusiast and was the first to observe a fossil under a microscope. In 1665 Hooke’s book Micrographia was released the book contained elaborate drawings of various specimens that he had viewed under a compound microscope and elaborations on what he was viewing such as his theory on the cell, which he describe as a channel in the plant. Micrographia also contained Hooke’s theories on the fossil. Robert Hooke was also a colleague of Newton but he and Newton were not on the greatest of terms due to the fact that their ideas clashed at times and Newton did not give Hooke the recognition that he deserved for work that…
