This project is about taking photos, these photos should be about every part of story and also there should be some sentences which represent the relationship between the photo and that particular part of the story.

 

1)Exposition:

Quote: ” why don’t you wear your gloves? Have you lost your gloves?”

Explanation: This quote represents that Walter Mitty’s wife thinks that he is so careless and she should manage him.

2)Rising action example # 1:

Quote:” “yes?” said Walter Mitty, removing his gloves slowly. “who has the case?” Dr. Renshaw and Dr. Benbow…” …”

Explanation: This examples show how everything can make Walter Mitty dreaming. In this case when he was putting his gloves off, he began to dream about being a surgeon.

3) Rising action example #3:

Quote: “Walter Mitty began to wonder what things was his wife had told him to get. She had told him, twice before they set out from their house to Waterbury . in a way he hated these weekly trips to town –he was always getting something wrong.”

Explanation: This quote shows that although he is good at dreaming, he is so careless in his real life and it’s explaining more about him.

4) Rising action example #3:

Quote: “without rising from his chair, Mitty let the man have it on the point of the chin. “you miserable cur.”. “Puppy biscuit” said Walter Mitty.

Explanation: This quote shows that his dreams maybe make him careless sometimes but in some cases they help him to manage his life and remember something.

 

5)Climax:

Quote: “I was thinking. Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?” said Walter Mitty. She looked at him. “I’m going to take your temperature when I get you home.” She said.

Explanation: I believe this quot is the climax of the story because Walter is finally trying to tell his wife about his dreaming world but she can’t understand his aim and it shows that this world is just for Walter not anyone else.

6)Falling action:

Quote: “At the drugstore on the corner she said, “wait here for me. I forgot something. I won’t be a minute.” She was more than a minute. Walter Mitty lighted a cigarette…”

7) Denouement:

Quote: “He put his shoulder back and his heels together. “to hell with the handkerchief,” said Walter Mitty scornfully. He took one lastdrag on his cigarette and snapped it away…”

The short story “The secret life of Walter Mitty” is about a man who is dreaming all day and he can’t manage his real life well. He should be more alert during day but he is dreaming all the time, so his wife gets angry in these situations but Walter doesn’t care and keeps dreaming. During this story, the author shows some examples of  expressionism and realism. Expressionism is mind concepts like flashback, dreams, pause of live time and etc. One of examples for expressionism is when he put his gloves in his car, he thought that he is a surgent and he suppose to do surgery for a millionaire banker. Realism is real life and the present tense. For example when Walter is talking to his wife, it’s realism. There will be continuation of this story below.

The firing squad was ready and waiting to hear the Walter’s order. The criminal had conjuror and he was waiting for his death with indescribable fear. Walter was enjoying to see his fear and he had a cruelly smile on his lips. “Guns ready…Firrrre” Walter shouted to the firing squad. He heard huge sounds of bullets and he felt a pain in his head. “why are you standing under rain? You can’t see this fast rain and sleets?” asked Ms. Mitty. “Go inside the car otherwise you will get cold.” Walter said. They were coming back to home and Walter was waiting for traffic light. On the mirror he saw an ambulance that was coming very fast and it was alerting to other cars to open the way. When the ambulance was passing the crossroads, Walter saw that doctors are doing something in the back of the ambulance. It seemed that there is an emergency case.

“Doctor do you think he’ll be alive till arriving to hospital?” Nurse James said. “I don’t know. It seems that his blood pressure and his heart beat are stable now. If he would stay till arriving to hospital, there will be more help there.” Said Doctor Mitty. “Damn it… his heart beat and his blood pressure are getting lower. What the hell is happening?” James said. “It should be a heart failure. We need to arrive to hospital as soon as possible. Tell the driver to drive faster.” Walter said. “we need more speed Frank. Drive faster.” James said. “I’m doing my best bro. There is a traffic light in front. I’m trying to pass it as well.” Frank said. “James come here. We need to do CPR. His heart beat stopped. If we don’t do it immediately, we will lose him. I will start it…”.

WEEK 17. Sin Law

There is a law that can help us to solve a triangle, “Sin Law”. For using this law, you should have at least 2 side and one angle or 2 angle and one side. For example in \Delta ABC the law is:

\frac {a}{sinA} =\frac {b}{sin B} =\frac {c}{sin C}

Example: In \Delta QPR , \angle Q=30, \angle P=60 and side p=3. Find the missing sides and angle.

180-(30+60)=90

r^2=q^2+p^2

\frac {3}{ \sqrt {\frac {3}{2}}} = \frac {q}{\frac {1}{2}}

q=1.8

1.8^2 + 3^2=r^2

r=3.5

Mexico trade war’s ‘disruption in the marketplace’ felt apple growers in B.C

Mexico is slapping a 20 per cent tariff on U.S. farm goods including apples. An esscalating trade fight between the U.s and Mexico may affect B.C apple growers in the Okanagan experts say. Mexico is the biggest customer of Washington state apples, buying up to $250 million’s worth each year. But Mexico now wants to slap slap a 20 per cent tariff on U.S. farm goods including apples in response to the Trump administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminum.

“It’s a disruption in the marketplace and it’s hard to see how that will shake out,” said Glen Lucas, the general manager of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association.

The concern, he said, is that Washington growers may look to send more of their product into Canada if they are unable to sell to Mexico.

uring a previous trade war involving the U.S. apple growers in 2010-11, British Columbia did export apples to Mexico but Lucas says he doesn’t see it as a business opportunity to export more fruit — it’s more of a stop-gap measure.

“It’s not like we’re developing a new market, it’s just a reaction to some market pressure,” he said.
