1.In this unit, we have explored the various parts of culture that shape our identity and perceptions, acknowledging we are
...
acknowledging we are all complex combinations of influences and beliefs. For your first major essay of ENGL 1010, you will examine some of these influences, writing what is called an autoethnography.
Autoethnography is a method that uses personal experience ("auto") to describe and interpret ("graphy") cultural experiences, beliefs, and practices ("ethno"). It is not simply telling a story about your life; rather, it is a way you can help an outside reader dig deeper into how certain cultural forces affect you and why they are important.
Your autoethnography should focus on ONE culture you identify with and include:
• An explanation of this culture to an outside audience (someone who does not belong to the same community). What makes this culture unique?
• Stereotypes, misconceptions, and/or conflicts you have experienced as a member of this culture
• How this culture has affected you and why it is a significant part of your identity

8.For a school project in a pottery class, you are to make a 500ml-vase that has a shape of either
...
ilateral triangle base or square base prism. The FRONT and BASE area of the vase will then be painted by a famous artist who charges $0.05 per square centimeter based on the surface area, and you are responsible for the cost of the paint work.
Before making the vase, you think about optimization learned in math class, and you would like to come up with the optimal shape and dimensions for your vase so that you can minimize the cost. Note: 1mL = 1 cm^3

9.After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. You notice the rainbow
...
nbow is the shape of a parabola.
The equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36.
Graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0.
Create a table of values for a linear function. A drone is in the distance, flying upward in a straight line. It intersects the rainbow at two points. Choose the points where your drone intersects the parabola and create a table of at least four values for the function. Remember to include the two points of intersection in your table.
Analyze the two functions. Answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences.
What is the domain and range of the rainbow? Explain what the domain and range represent. Do all of the values make sense in this situation? Why or why not?
What are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? Explain what each intercept represents.
Is the linear function you created positive or negative? Explain.
What are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? Explain what it or they represent.

Attachment theory hypothesizes that children's relationships with their parents shape habitual patterns of attachment in close relations. Thus, ones childhood experiences should connect to relationship quality during adulthood. Many years ago, a large group of teenage boys had been interviewed about their families. These interviews were coded to provide data in childhood family environment- a measure on which low numbers reflected distant/punitive/cold relationships with parents while higher numbers reflected nurturing/autonomous/warm relationships. Many decades later, researchers attempted to re-contact these same people. A total of 81 men(aged 70-85 years) who had been married to the same spouse for at least ten years and agreed to participate were interviewed about their marriage. The spouses of these men were interviewed as well. The interviews were coded in order to provide a measure of relationship attachment-higher scores reflected greater levels of relationship satisfaction,loving, and caring. Is there any evidence to support attachment theory's claim that children's parental relationships predict relationship quality in adulthood?
