The Tortoise and the Hare

We all know the story about The Tortoise and the Hare. For this project we will use the Tortoise and Hare story line. 

In our story, the bunny was confident that he would win the race, so he did not work hard and lost the race. The bunny solicited the hare to find out why the bunny lost the race. The hare shared his experience with the bunny, now the  bunny knows he needs to train harder to win the race.  In our story the bunny will win the race.

Use the initial scene in the  Attached File section.

Write a program to make the bunny hop over the two obstacles, then hop on top of  the third position of the trophy podium, and finally he hops on the first place podium. Turn the bunny’s feet backward and forward to make it look like a hop. Use the height and distance functions to guide the upward and forward movements, respectively. During the upward and forward movement the bunny is moving forward toward the trophy.

Make sure that the tortoise reaches the finish line after the bunny, by increasing the duration parameter of the move function  Once both the tortoise and bunny reach the podium, they should turn and face the camera, and the bunny raises his arms and say, “I won!!”  Include comments for each major instruction in your code.

florida issue

/in /by

You will write a short mini-play that explores or comments on some local South Florida social, political, and/or economic topic or problem.  If it is a problem, do not preach or directly offer a realistic solution.  It can have a leaning towards a side of the issue, but of should not feel like a one-sided argument.  It can also simply not lean toward any side, but rather show the complexity of the issue that could engender a discussion of the topic after a performance.

The piece should be approximately 3 to minutes long.    That tends to about three pages of dialogue, at 12 pt. font.

All the possible views and angles and solutions of your chosen problem should be discussed thoroughly before the creation of any theatre piece.

Once youve explored the issue, decide what kind of style best addresses the issue.  You have to think of not only the topic/problem, but what would be the best way to present a story concerning it.

The purpose of this assignment is twofold:

Explore how theatre can be a tool of social commentary, causing dialogue among both the artists and audience on the complexities of the issues. Immediate solutions wont pop up from these. If the answer to any situation were easy, it would have been done already.
Get a taste of what its like to do theatre, at least write a play.

You will get to choose the topic/problem.  It may be a problem that is very specific to South Florida, or something that is common to many U.S. metropolitan areas, but has its own flavor in SoFLA.  Examples

Problems with Immigration
Traffic
Crime
Race/ethnic relations
Sexuality
Comparison/contrast to rural America
Problems due to suburban sprawl
Religious issues
Medicare fraud (a big topic for South Florida)
Language barriers
Political rivalries
The sky is the limit!!!
The scene may present a beginning middle and an ending (like the Aristotelean plotline we discussed in class), and it would probably be best if it did. However, it does NOT have to.  It can present a more static or loosely written plot (think back to our lecture and readings of certain Asian styles of theatre).
It can be ANY style of theatre.
Straight up Realism
Poetic Drama
Satire
Dance/movement oriented theatre
Sky is the limit!
The scene may have a personal resolution for the characters without clearly offering a solution for the social/political/economic problem on a larger scale. In other words, the scene can show the effects of the problem on individuals, and through that the audience gets a sense of the bigger picture.
As far as format, remember its a playscript,, not a short story.  You may search online for templates and examples; there are a multitude of sites.

Zeus Modification

Recreate the Zeus world.  In this world, a philosopher has been zapped by lightning and is scorched to show he has met a tragic ending.  However, the philosopher is still in the scene and the user can zap him again. 

Revise the program to allow the user to zap each philosopher.  Make each zapped philosopher fall down below the ground, where he can’t be mouse-clicked again.

Include comments for each major instruction in your program.

-Download the initial scene for the project
-Create the methods and events
-Once you have it ready, then perform the modifications  in this project
-Each philosopher that is zapped should fall below the ground where he can’t be zapped again
-The Lightning Bolt should not be seen as it returns to the cloud
-The sound should play

climate change and the effect on polar bears

/in /by

I am supposed to be writing a paper for my Comp 2 class on solutions and recommendations to my overall assigned topic which is climate change and the impact it has on polar bears. It is 700 words minimum and needs 4-6 citations from 2 different sources. And each solution should have at least one citation from a valid source. I pasted the full list of instructions that are shown on the assignment page for the paper.
I would like this paper to sound educated but not overly informative, but enough where it shows that a decent amount of research was done if that makes sense. Thanks.

You will be researching solutions and making recommendations.  Your solutions need to be supported by research.  Look at what has been tried in the past and evaluate how well it worked.  The number of solutions you propose is up to you.  You might want to propose three solutions and then make a recommendation based on which solutions you think would work best.

Recommendation reports usually begin with a description of the problem.  You have already completed this section when you wrote the technical description paper defining your problem.

This report is going to focus on the solutions to the problem you presented in the technical description.  The recommendation report answers the question, “What is the best option?”

Your job is to do more than provide your client with a recommendation.  You need to provide data to support your conclusions.  The reader will check your research, your logic, and your conclusions before accepting your recommendation.  This means that you must provide research to support your recommendations. You will set up your recommendation report as follows:

Introduction

Your purpose statement should indicate that the document is a recommendation report.  You should provide an overview of the main points to be presented in the paper.

Solutions

You need to decide which possible solutions you are going to present.  You should present more than one solution.  You might want to discuss solutions that have been tried in the past but have not been successful.

When you present the possible solutions, make sure you are very clear and have research to show that this solution is a viable and logical solution that has been tried in the past.  If the solution was successful, give data showing that it was a good choice. Clearly describe the solution as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

Recommendations

After you have presented all of the options, choose the one option that you feel would best meet your client’s needs.  This should be based on effectiveness, cost, support needed, etc. At this point in the report, you can argue for this recommendation over the others by stressing its advantages and providing data to support your argument.
