Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Four friends go out for lunch three of them Order cheeseburgers at a cost of 4.75each one friend orders. A slice of pizza for 2.55 and all of them purchase a drink for 1.20each they decided to split the bill equally how much is each friends share

Answers

Answer:

Individual bill = 5.4 units

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Total number of friends = 4

Cost of cheeseburger, C = 4.75Quantity of cheeseburger, Q= 3Slice of pizza, P = 2.55Cost of drink, D = 1.20Quantity of drinks, Q = 4

To find how much each would pay;

First of all, we would calculate the total cost incurred by the four friends using the mathematical expression;

Total cost = CQ + P + DQ

Total cost = (4.75 * 3) + 2.55 + (1.20 * 4)

Total cost = 14.25 + 2.55 + 4.8

Total cost = 21.6

Since they are sharing the bill equally, we would divide the cost by the total number of friends.

[tex] Individual \; bill = \frac {Total \; cost}{Number \; of \; friends} [/tex]

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

[tex] Individual \; bill = \frac {21.6}{4} [/tex]

Individual bill = 5.4 units

They talk too much with each other and say the words i.e.  "my love" or "my heaven" when they speak to each other that make their friends annoyed and unhappy so we can say that these two actions make their friends fed up from them.

white dolphin chapter 1 summarry

Answers

Answer:

Kara is isolated and lonely, bullied at school for her dyslexia, and struggling to deal with her mother's mysterious disappearance. Her one escape is taking to the waves in her father's boat, Moana - but things hit rock bottom when she realises that her father, who is struggling to find work, may be forced to sell his beloved sailing boat.

Meanwhile, Felix resents his wealthy, well-meaning parents for taking him to live in a sleepy Cornish fishing village, far away from his home and friends London, but things change when he discovers a passion for sailing. Kara and Felix take an instant dislike to each other, especially when Kara discovers her father is planning to sell Moana to Felix's family - at least until a young dolphin, washed up and stranded on the beach, unexpectedly brings them together.

But helping to save the dolphin brings the new friends up against new, more serious challenges: finding out the truth about the disappearance of Kara's marine biologist mother, and protecting the delicate reef in the bay from commercial dredging.

In addition to Kara being dyslexic, Felix has cerebral palsy. Other characters’ attitudes towards him are convincingly diverse – one relative informs Kara that she should feel sorry for the disabled boy, while some of her own age group find it an excuse to ridicule him. Kara’s own views are also forced to change. She initially finds him bitter and unpleasant, but it soon becomes evident that his animosity is in no way connected with the fact that he happens to be disabled but rather due to the fact that he resents his parents for the move to the seemingly dull seaside town.

Exciting yet sensitive, tender and thought-provoking, Gill Lewis's second novel follows in the tradition of her first book, Sky Hawk, to tell a carefully-crafted tale of nature, friendship and the importance of protecting our environment.
