On the painting by Vladimir Kush: Eye of the Needle, the first thing that grabs the reader’s attention is the giant needle in the middle of the desert that is abnormal due to the size and location. Within the needle there is the needle’s eye, that is also of abnormal size, big enough for the camels to go through. Right at the edge of the needle’s eye there is a camel that is followed by an infinite amount of camels all through the dry grounds of the desert and back towards the horizon. On the other side of the needle’s eye, there is a man holding a rope around the neck of the first camel. The way the man is standing and pulling on the rope can be visualized the same way someone stands when playing tug of war. There seems to not be enough force from the person to pull the camel through the eye of the needle and keep them moving.
The location is best described as a vacant desert where the only living creatures surrounding it are the man and its camels and the accompany of

sun’s illumination. The enormous needle and the eye represent a turning point or a hard obstacle for both the camels and the person. When threading with a needle, cloth is connected together through the use of thread however, in this situation the camels are being brought all together to the journey through the needle. By the small amount of gap between the camels it almost appears as if the camels are threaded closely with one another as they follow the first camel, the leader who is getting ready to enter a turning point or encounter a change in its life. By the way the first camel is standing on the edge of the needle’s eye, the camel shows fear fear of change or fear of what waits for it at the other side of the needle’s eye. Camels are known to live mainly in deserts however, humans are known to be capable of adjusting to different atmospheres and environments in different parts of the world. Humans can learn to adapt to live in warm, cold, wet or dry environments. This explains why the person has already overlooked its fears and has crossed to the other side of the needle’s eye, unlike the camel. The camel is not aware of what is on the other side of the needle which is why it has paused, as an illustration of fear to cross over. For the camels, a whole different world may wait on the other side that could be filled with different creatures and different environments, those in which they are not ready for or will probably will not learn to adapt. The thought of not being able to adapt also creates terror because when animals are not able to adapt to new habitats, they usually die. Death, is without a doubt a common fear for many, yet it is normal because it part of being alive. On the other side of the needle’s eye across from where the camels are located, there is also an empty desert land area. On the far end there some small hills where a river begins and goes through the high canyons. The river is quite long, not fully filled with water, and it goes past through where the camels and the person are headed to. The dry hills and canyons are vacant with no sign of anyone else being around. Along the hills are small houses on the mid right of the image where people could live, however there is not a single soul outside to give the reader a clue that there are people currently living there. The vacancy illustrated in the painting can cause the reader to conclude that those left in the desert are experiencing some kind of hardship. The dry and dark colors create an environment of loneliness, where everyone who is left should relocate somewhere where there is hope for life or a better environment. The clouds that appear in the illustration are in the shape of some living creatures that are also leaving or escaping. The clouds are drawn towards the left of the picture as if they are aiming for something or somewhere else other than where they appear to be. At the far end of the drawing there is the sun, the only star in the drawing that gives light and illumination to the man and his camels. No matter where someone or something is in the world, the sun will always be there to illuminate the path. The sun is drawn half way on the drawing, creating a beautiful sunset. The sunset can help the reader conclude that it is about to get dark. Once again, that fact that the sun is going down and it’ll soon get dark may create pressure on the man to try to get the camels over and continue the journey before it gets to dark. With the hundreds of camels shown on the drawing it may take time to get them all across the needle’s eye and could come across other obstacles once it becomes dark. Needles are created with a pointed tip on one side, sharp enough to undergo cloth that are in this situation: challenges.
The other side of the needle is usually smooth, it is where the needle’s eye is located and where the thread (camels) go through to create a connection. With the man and power of all of the camels together, they will all get past the needles eye and confront what is on the other side. The force that the man shows while trying to get the camels to the other side, also shows an illustration some sort of rush to get through probably before the sun goes down. As hard as it may be, the camels are all being thread together, with no camel left behind. The stop the first camel assembles shows some sort of fear and curiosity of what it will have to face once it crosses. The camels are one behind the other, possibly hundreds of them ready to cross the needle’s eye without knowing what waits for them on the other side, not knowing what is next, whether it may be death or a different
life.

Three hundred and thirty-four years later in the future, Carl Landsteiner, a Viennese doctor, performed a very simple experiment with blood in 1901. During his experiment, Landsteiner noticed "clotting in some samples of mixed blood and not others". (Tucker, 10) Landsteiner separated his samples into three groups: A, B, and C, according to how they clotted in his experiment. Today, the blood type C is known as type O blood. When Landsteiner was grouping these blood types, he happened to look over type AB. AB occurs in about 3 percent of the population. Later in 1907, two researchers, Jan Jansky in Czechoslovakia and William Lorenzo Moss in the United
During its years of development, specifically around in 3500, the ancient land of Egypt was located close to multiple continents, these continents being Europe, Asia, and Africa. It was separated into different divisions, mainly geographical, there being four major physical geographic sections. The first was water-based, the Nile Valley and Delta, the second two were deserts, Eastern Desert and Western Desert, and the last was the Sinai Peninsula. The ancient Egyptians also considered their land to be separated in two more divisions: “red land” and “black land”. The desert surrounding Egypt was the “red land” section because it was barren. The area served as a means of protection, as it divided Egypt from enemies that wanted to attack and ...
The desert is home to Jassim and Salwa Haddad. Leaving their native Jordan for the American deserts of Arizona, heat is their habitat. Unfortunately, the sun serves as the only source of warmth in their cold relationship. Married and childless by choice, Halaby's reader meets the Haddads in the center of their unconscious rut. Jassim's career as a successful hydrologist, which cemented their roots in America, consumes him and he is aware of little else. His life revolves around water – unpredictable, ever changing, H2O. This first love keeps Jassim's wife suppressed in his peripheral vision, where she has remained for far too long.

In the article, “The Great American Desert”, Edward Abbey (1977) is trying to convince the general public that the desert is not a place for humans to explore. He talks a lot about the dangers of the desert and tries to convince the readers that the desert is not worth wasting your time and going and visiting. I disagree with Abbey. Anyone who has some knowledge about the desert and takes a class or is accompanied by an expert who knows a lot about the desert should be able to venture out in the many great American deserts.

This picture to me is saying that even when a mule deer has died and the only thing left is bones and its horns, there is still life with that deer. The deer has lived a life that none of us could have imagined, no one but that deer could tell the story of its life. The mule deer is a symbol of living and how nature can be so hard on animals. The picture makes you feel like the deer is staring at you and that maybe it is trying to tell you something. I know the excitement that comes with hunting and when you shoot that deer and come up to it, there is nothing in this world that feels better. It is really hard to explain the feeling that comes with hunting, but this picture is a deer that has died and it could have been by a hunter or it could have been just old age or disease. It is hard to tell with this picture what has happened to the mule deer.
The Sahara desert is known as the largest dessert in the world, it covers a third of the continent of Africa. The thing about the desert is that it is always changing, new vegetation is sprouting and animals are dying and being born. During the day the desert is very hot, about 50 degrees Celsius, but at night time temperatures can drop very low. In the night is when the desert rains, for temperatures are too hot during the day for clouds to accumulate above them, and water is limited so there isn’t much precipitation.

While one person lays with their wrists circumscribed to the worn leather of the gurney, another person holds two skin-piercing needles. The individual holding the needles is an inexperienced technician who obtains permission from the United States federal government to murder people. One needle is held as a precaution in case the pain is too visible to the viewers. Another dagger filled with a lethal dosage of chemicals is inserted into the vein that causes the person to stop breathing. When the cry of the heart rate monitor becomes monotone, the corrupt procedure is complete. Lying in the chair is a corpse when moments ago it was an individual who made one fatal mistake that will never get the chance to redeem (Ecenbarger). Although some people believe that the death

Generally the land that is considered dry lands is still used by primitive technologies within herding and farming. This weak land is put on even l...

Foremost, the Nomadic People of the Paleolithic Age depends heavily on the moving herds of animals for food and sometimes even clothing. Therefore, nomads of Paleolithic Age follow their preys and move with them as the various animals migrates as the season changes through out the year. Even though the nomads' food source was usually abundant and finding of shelters were not much of a problem, but the ongoing journeys with the hunted animals provides little security against several other different big game predators, that preys upon both men and the animals nomads travel with.
