    All that is required of the person is to drop a marble into the first bucket so that everything can be triggered. In this simple machine, there are 5 different types of simple machines. Each one has different purposes. For example, the inclined planes in our machine allowed objects to roll down a slanted platform more easily than a straight platform. The wheel and axle and pulleys were used to trigger different objects. In our machine, the wedge and lever is used to hold things up. The wedge’s purpose was to allow the inclined planes to stay up in the right position. The lever was used to hold up the car; it prevented the car from continuously running down. Our machine is also very simple to run, even though when you explain it in words it sounds really complicated. This machine has many triggers to start many parts of the machine so that the machine can run smoothly. Overall, our machine was a…

    The most dominant shape in the piece is circles, the wheels are fairly large and are what the viewers eyes are directed to. The wheels are placed beside each other, when the work is activated the first wheel spins and moves closer to the second, causing them both to spin. This creates a strong image of two identical shapes moving in sync because of a transfer of energy. This transfer of energy causes the viewer to stop and think about the meaning behind the work and the intentions of the artist, it draws the viewer in more than if the wheels did not move. The movement of transferring energy may imply that the artist believes that one's energy can affect another.…

    I decided on the poem “To a Daughter Leaving Home,” for its overall simplicity matched with the deeper meaning that I found within. It stood out to me immediately as I was able to relate to both the underlying connotation as well as the literal experience of learning to ride a bike.
