Strontium Isotope ratios are used in archaeology to track human migration.86Sr abundance is constant, but 87Sr forms through decay of 87Rb in rock. Rock age and initial Rb/Sr ratios vary geographically, making87Sr/86Sr a location tracer. Strontium, weathered from bedrock into groundwater then taken up by flora and fauna, can substitute for Ca in tooth enamel. Enamel only forms during childhood, specifically the early first and second molars mineralize during early childhood; the third molar during late childhood/adolescence. Thus 87Sr/86Sr ratios reveal where individuals grew up. Archaeological samples are precious and scarce; mass spectrometers are ideally suited for measuring isotope ratios in such samples. It was hypothesized that individuals…

Identifying and knowing the compatibility of a fish is an important aspect to know when deciding where to place it. There are many different types of fish but it is easy to identify what the fish is, based on its physical appearance. Also, based on the appearance it is easy to determine whether it is ancient or modern. Compatibility is a key aspect to meet the fishes needs and safety. Identifying fish is based on what physical appearances the fish may have and what tanks they are separated…

I am often struck by how often people throw around the words “I’m sorry” without giving much thought as to what these two small words actually mean. I do not know if you have really thought about the true meaning of them, so I would like to point them out. I’m sorry, means I am sorry; but, are you really? Sorry when we look it up in the dictionary means: wretched, useless, or pitiful. Now, do you want to hook up the phrase I am with that? I personally, feel that I have value and therefore…

O Pioneers and Ethan Frome are two classic, exciting novels. Even though the two plots of these stories aren’t much alike, the have similarities so often, it’s eerie. From the cold, harsh winter that the stories take place in, to the fact that they were written 2 years apart (1911 - 1913). These stories were not meant to relate at all, but the more you read, the more similarities you may find throughout both books. I find it funny that the similarities are not more recognised in the reading…

In her realist novel, Ethan Frome, Edith Wharton strategically crafts a story that highlights the contrast between two opposing archetypal images, winter and darkness versus summer and light, in order to draw forth a comparison between the effect that both Zeena, Ethan’s wife, and Mattie, Ethan’s love interest, have on Ethan. Zeena’s stark personality and depressive aura causes her to exemplify the desolate qualities of winter, dragging Ethan into a life classified by lonely days and even…

With bountiful snowfall and harsh winters, Edith Wharton establishes an inhospitable setting for her piece of literature, Ethan Frome, which gives the book a frigid and depressing atmosphere. The cold nature of the book explains the protagonist’s, Ethan Frome’s, need to search for companionship in other people. The fear of existing alone and forgotten in the gelid winter appears to be too much to bear for Ethan Frome. He pounces on the first opportunity that arises and marries his mother’s…

Young women from around the country began to advocate workers’ rights and especially women’s rights. Prior to the fire, women were treated like trash by being paid little money for their labor and they had to work in nasty, unsanitary conditions. This caused the Factory Investigating Commission to take an interest in factory…
