Sister Aloysius found a ballpoint pen in Sister James’s room once and commanded Sister James to take away any ballpoint pens she found because ballpoint pens do not promote good penmanship. Because Father Flynn uses a ballpoint pen, Sister Aloysius has a hatred for Father Flynn. Finally, Father Flynn adds sugar to his tea. While this fact may seem insignificant
(a) Ballpoint pens: The price elasticity of demand of ballpoints pens tends to be elastic. Now, what does it mean when an item is elastic? Well, according to the textbook, Microeconomics, written by McConnell, Brue, Flynn, it states,” When price and total revenue move in opposite directions, demand is elastic”(pg. 126, para.1). What this means is that when price goes up, demand goes down and when price goes down, demand goes up. A product like a ballpoint experiences elastic demand because it has

New Consumer Products Every day companies compete by inventing by inventing a new product. Some of these things are very useful and we don’t know how we would live without them. Many of these products don’t have much impact on society and fade out throughout the years. Most of us can think of many examples such as: Crystal Pepsi, slap bracelets, pogs, and backpack purses. As we look back at the products invented in the last 25 years, we wonder what type of new products we will invented in

Journaling is a past-time long forgotten. Finding time to write everyday presents a challenge for many, and so does finding a topic to write about when a mundane day passes. Because of this, most people choose to bypass journaling; however, I have recently rediscovered the purpose of recording my every day shenanigans. Just a week ago I noticed a small notebook hiding behind a few unread books while I was cleaning my bookshelves. As I pulled it from its little nook, it registered in my brain what
‘WRITE EVERYDAY’ it is a common advice. Indeed writing is an important and inescapable part of our daily life. When a person learns how to write daily, a whole world of possibilities open for him. He can pen up his thoughts, create a story and can make his own illusionary world. Writing promotes one’s ability to pose worthwhile questions. Writing is something which is enduring, it always leaves an impact on others. It makes thinking visible. Writing daily makes you seem more professional and genius
The Pen Mortality is a fact of life for everyone and has been since Creation. As humans, we have the intelligence to realize and understand this because we possess the ability to reason and to learn. This ability, when combined with the presence of Life that keeps us in existence, beckons us to secure the future in some way and for some reason(s). We need not only the chance at life beyond our own which comes with the birth of our children, but also to leave our own names, our own ideas and beliefs
proved not as interesting as I wanted, and certainly not as aesthetically pleasing, I moved to plan B: creating my own ink by boiling grape peals. The ink was a deep shade of purple (and smelled like wine); I was sure it would write just like ink from a pen and I would have a beautiful project. However my ego got the better of me. As it turned out the fermented ink would not write on my bark surface. Instead it absorbed into the bark never to be seen again. I moved to plan C. Creating a smoother surface
white natural objects shaded with dots and lines. This was a completely new style of shading for me and it is one that I like a lot. Then I started developing my final art piece for the year I took a section of my garden and drew and shaded it in black pen after this I did 2 or 3 more pictures of this section of my garden one in pencil one in collage and one in acrylic.
The narrator of “Penmanship” is a man madly in love in the art of writing. It is through entering the enchanting world of pen and paper that he is able to face the complexities of reality like social cancer (corruption), violence (murder) and fiery emotions (love) with strength and confidence. He could feel “a twinge of sorrow” every time he mails a letter because he had voluntarily given away a part of himself. I think for him (and may I boldly include everybody else who writes) that every word
my emotions in the moment. It is very rare for me not to have a journal and a pen in my bag, ready to scribble down my thoughts. Whether I am sitting in class, or if I am sitting at the base of a waterfall - I love to write down everything that is happening around me. I would argue that one of my favourite things is the satisfactory feeling of flipping through a completed journal. I feel a sense of pride with every pen smudged page that I flip, reminiscing on where I was when it was written. I find
As I sit down at my laptop to write this response paper about California Typewriter, a small part of me feels ashamed it’s not on a typewriter. After viewing the film it’s hard not to feel that way, even just a little bit. Leaving the theater I envisioned writing this response paper on a typewriter, scanning it into the computer, and submitting it that way. That on creative hopeful idea quickly died, though a bit faster than the demise of the typewriter itself. Before realizing the papers had to
The brooch is elegant and majestic. It is in the shape of an owl sitting gracefully on a branch. Detailed and colourful, it is as interesting to look at as the life it has lived. Belonging once to my grandma, the owl is old now – and sleepy. Her eyebrows sit heavily over her beautiful eyes, bright like little diamonds despite the brooch’s age. She is midnight blue and has deep pink flowers in the middle of her body; “Look at me”, she seems to say, “I am beautiful.” Green leaves accompany the flowers
The Connection between Writing and Technology There are times when an idea pops into your head and immediately you need to write it down or lose the thought forever. What is the first thing you grab? Probably a pen or pencil and then a piece of paper, or even the nearest keyboard. These technologies are so common, we don't even give them a second thought; they are just there. With almost every household owning a computer we even tend to take them for granted. Now imagine these writing technologies
