Psychological Profile After speaking to Ralph for hours, I have seen a clear picture on the events that occurred and his mental state. Ralph has gone through many changes throughout his time on the island. He tells me he used to be a socialized and civilized young boy but in the interview seems very timid and scared. He recounts a strip about the first meeting he was voted chief almost unanimously, "Every hand outside the choir was raised immediately.…
On a psychoanalytical level, what is the Beast? The Beast on the island is the manifestation of all the boys’ fears, both on a mental level as boys afraid of the dark, and also as the symbol of fear for the unknown that all of humanity bears. “‘I know there isn’t no beast—not with claws and all that, I mean—but I know there isn’t no fear, either.’ Piggy paused. ‘Unless—’ Ralph moved restlessly.…

The world is filled with conflicting forces and imbalances. For millennia, civilizations have repeatedly tried to explain the idea of opposite sides and how they affect the world in which they exist. For example, Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang symbols represent the idea of perfect balance and harmony in Chinese culture, demonstrating the polar forces that create and explain the world. Yin stands for femininity and passiveness, while Yang stands for masculinity and activeness, much like the characters of María and Gabriel Márez in Bless Me Ultima.…

Impact of a humanized rat liver model Having a rat model with a more-human like liver will allow investigators to better understand normal and diseased human liver physiology and biochemistry (82). It will allow us to test and compare the ability to repopulate livers with different cell sources which have had limited success in the mouse (3). Primary human hepatocytes have been shown to efficiently repopulate recipient livers (32), however with limited access to large quantities, researchers must examine whether other types of hepatic stem cells can act as potential donors as well. Having an efficient model that can be used to perform repopulation experiments in short periods of time could in theory lead to new therapies for patients.…
The title of the book is “The Other Wes Moore” that was written by Wes Moore, and the major subject of the book is that two boys with the same name has different fates. Throughout the ECR I will refer to the incarcerated Wes as The Other Wes and the author Wes as Wes Moore.

Ratatouille is a 2007 American film produced by Pixar that follows the journey of Remy, a young rat that aspires to be a chef, and his garbage boy turned chef friend Linguini. The whole film summarized into a sentence is basically that Remy’s dream of being a chef and Linguini 's dream of being a success is only possible in the end with the help of the other one, emphasizing the importance of collaboration. However the important take away is not this heartwarming lesson, but rather the way that global communities stereotype those with a standard American accent, such as the one used by both Remy and Linguini. According to Jessica Love of The American Scholar, European accents are typically perceived as high class and knowledgeable in foreign…
