Philanthropy is (extended haiku version)

Philanthropy is
like a wish for those without
bringing joy to all
Philanthropy is
for all,to all, by all but
without the kindness
all my be helpless
for some can not help themselves
Philanthropy is

Fort Monroe

And then i'm there. At first glance i see the fort wall made from a stone and morter to old to identify and the row apon row of houses inside the fort. I can smell the gun powder from the cannon fire that they have been shooting off all night now. As I walk i start to become oblivious to the smell of the B.O. or the popcorn and rockcandy i'm eating but i do start to notice the fireworks way off in the background just behind the fort walls.I climb up the rusted metal stairs to the top of the wall and i'm hit by the cool breeze that comes from the sea as i notice the boat on the water thats shooting off the fireworks.I try to use a napkin to get the butter and sugar off of me fingers but i am still in aww by the fireworks. I love Fort Monroe on the Fourth of July.

Advertisement Analysis

     The advertisment i have chosen to review is the Dentastix dog sticks advertisment. The main goal of this advertisment is to get you to purchase Dentastix. The advertisment uses a variety of techniques to convince you to do so.

     Through the use of the first technique, purpose, the advertisment aims to say that Dentastix could help prevent your dogs breath from becoming dangerously smelly. One can assume that since the words "against bad breath" is off to the side in front of the dentastix ,and since the bird is dead that the dog did not use the Dentastix that this advertisment is showing what could happn if you do not use their products. The  use of the cartoon fashioned dead bird and the innocent looking dog add humor.

     /I believe the tone of the paragraph is humor. I believe this ,for two reasons. One, is that the bird is dead, on its back, mouth open, in a humorous, and cartoonish style death. The cartoonis style death is usually associated with a funny way to die such as a anvil falling of a mountain side hitting a character on the head. Another way this shows humor is through the white shape behind the Dentastix that looks like drool.

     In conclusion, the Dentastix advertisment uses tone and purpose in various ways to get you to puchase their product.

Rectangles rectangles

Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle WXYZ with sides in a ratio of 4:1. What is the ratio of the areas of the two rectangles? Say a rectangle has the dimensions of 1x1 its area is 1 say the other rectangle has dimensions of 4x4 its area would be 16. 16 is 16 times bigger then 1(duh) i'm not to good at explaining but i will try.

all rectangles are 2 dimensional shapes

a way to make ratios a little easier is to but the ratios to X

like so 4X:1X

which means that there are 2 sides that 4 times bigger then X

and there are 2 sides that are 1 times bigger then X 

so both numbers become squared like so

(4^2)X:(1^2)X

4 squared is 16

1 squared is still 1

so the new ratio is

16X:1X

meaning the areas are always 16 times larger

Suppose the dimensions of each rectangle are tripled

doing this will cause and increase of area in both rectangles

but the rectangles' areas will still be within the ratio

like so

16X*3:1X*3

equals

48X:3X

48 is still 16 times large then 3
