Hoping to find something to write about, I rummaged through the short stories I received in my four years of literature class. Although I never read, let alone considered reading any of the novels they required for us to finish, I insisted on keeping all the short ones because of how much I enjoyed them. ‘Harrison Bergeron’ was written in bold on the first line of the well-kept brown paper. I don’t recall the story itself but I knew that I wanted to write about it as I held the papers in my hand. I had that same intriguing feeling when I first saw the title. Choosing to read it again was definitely not a wrong decision. I forgot about how much I loved the story when I first read it almost two years ago. I usually gravitate towards romance or…
I thought that both were very powerful stories and both really drew my attention, but in my opinion I think the book was more captivating and powerful because it told the whole story in so much detail. And the book made me more interested and I understood more of what he was saying in the book. I feel that the speech was very interesting also but it didn't really make me that interested and it didn't make that much of sense. But the book had a lot more detail I feel like and also I just feel…
Aqueous-Minerals Reactions: Chemical reactions involving aqueous species and mineral species are heterogeneous and slower compared to aqueous species reactions, thus modeled as rate dependent chemical reactions. This means that when mineral species (N_m ) are not is equilibrium with the aqueous species, the minerals can either dissolve or precipitate. As shown in equation R11 of an example of calcite dissolution/precipitation, a mineral species (Calcite) is involved in a reaction with only…
In response to this scenario, I would first schedule a meeting with the author and their literary agent (if they have one) to have a discussion and ask some fundamental questions in regards to the acquisition process to get a general understanding of the idea, plan, and content of the book that he proposed. If it sounds promising and has potential to become a success, I would then proceed to request for a copy of the manuscript so that I can read it and get a deeper understanding of its content.…
each element in the empirical formula. An empirical formula is the smallest formula where the subscripts are whole numbers. To find the molecular formula, you must multiply the empirical formula by a conversion factor. You find the conversion factor by dividing the given molecular mass of the molecular formula by the molecular mass of the empirical formula to get the conversion factor, which you must round to a whole number. You then multiply the conversion factor by the empirical formula to…
What are adverse reactions? When you start a new medication or therapy, you should watch for serious side effects, called adverse reactions. They occur when a patient experiences undesirable and unexpected effects to a health product. Under Health Canada guidelines, “health products” include drugs (prescription and over-the-counter), medical devices, and natural health products, such as herbal supplements or vitamins. Not all reactions to health products are considered adverse reactions. Some…
At the Penn Museum, I observed an Attic Red Figure Stamnos. The piece was created in Attica, Greece in approximately 490 B.C.E. and is attributed to the Kleophrades Painter. According to a publication by the Archaeological Institute of America, the Kleophrades painter was a prominent artist of Athenian vase painting. The Kleophrades painter, a name assigned to the artist because his true name remains unknown, has almost ninety works that have been attributed to him. Archaeologists and Art…
From the Sinek Video: 1. What did he say about the "Feeling of Fulfillment"? Sinek introduced the concept by discussing the Marines and the fact that they would do anything for one another. They believe in doing good for others and have fulfillment in putting themselves at risk for the wellbeing of others. Although he uses this as an example he reassures us that the feeling of fulfillment is not limited to the Marines. It can be extended to us and in our daily living. According to Sinek, the…
My first reaction in regards to Karla’s case was that of an emotional one. My heart goes out to Karla. She is going through a very hard time and really needs our help. I feel bad for her and want to help her in anyway that I can. My thought that we need to approach Karla to see if she wants to do a DNA test to find out who the father is and ask if she wants to bring charges against her step-father. My opinion is that we need to provide Karla with all of her options and support her with whatever…
Antigone was my favorite reading from this class so far. It relates to the overall theme of the class because the characters own ideas drive them insane causing them to become mad. One can infer that Creon is considered to be mad because he is very irrational, did not take anyone else’s feelings into account when he drove three people to ultimately their graves. Many considered Antigone to be mad because she is does not conform to social expectations for women (or men). She is deviant because…
