This paper will look at the Haida traditional uses of trees, shrubs, flowers, ferns, and mosses found on the archipelago. Due to the cool and wet climate along with the nutrient-poor soils, conifer species such as Western hemlock, Sitka spruce, and Western red cedar dominate Haida Gwaii’s forests (Banner et al., 2014). However, the deciduous red alder tree dominated the forest at the beginning of the trail as the earlier part of the trail was new growth. This is because red alder thrives in disturbed sites such as old logging areas, and it is fast growing (Pojar & MacKinnon, 1994). According to Tollas, the red alder tree contains a brownish red dye that was used for cedar weaving. Next up was the Western hemlock, Tollas explained that because of it’s dense canopy, very few plants can be found growing underneath. However, the branches of the Western hemlock served as bedding material due to its softness. Next, the Sitka spruce, distinguished by the thin bark that breaks into small scales, was especially valuable to the Haida due to the medicinal purposes in the pitch. The pitch could be used as a topical medicine for burns, slivers, and other skin…

Beginning this chapter Adler explains the different levels of reading . Staring with grade school but Alder seems to find the reading requirements a failure. Alder believes that our schooling system is failing students in teaching them how to read. The schooling system in America lets students move up to the next level of schooling without showing any improvements in reading. Alder points out that we should interpret a schooling system like France. The method used in France is called…

At the Totem Wall, he asks for Anyu the Hunter, Tootega the Crone, Yuralria the Dancer, and Chu the Beaver. The heads are surprised that he addressed them by name and asks Seth what he will do to pass the wall. Seth says he will purge the evil behind the Alder Door. The heads accept his offer and let him go inside. When facing the Standing Dead, Seth almost loses his grip and becomes frightened, but he starts insulting the animate corpses which made him less scared. Seth makes it through the…

Do you know any over-achievers? Do they seem responsible and in control? If the answers are yes, chances are that those people are the firstborn children in their family. Those people could also be only children. All individuals that fit into one of these categories are most likely to succeed. Firstborns tend to be high achievers and strive to meet near impossible goals. There is a multitude of traits that firstborn people tend to have. Alfred Alder writes in his article, Alfred Alder Research…

constant hum of a lopsided metal fan was beyond me. But that's exactly what Alder Quinn's very existence was, an annoyance. No matter what was happening, you could always be assured of one thing; he was doodling absentmindedly in class instead of paying attention. How he got away with it was beyond me. I wouldn't have minded it if it wasn't for the fact that the class was Past World History 594 Advanced Honors, which on the easiest day was a blur of information that I couldn't seem to retain…

Introduction: As it is taught throughout school, all living things are made up of cells. These cells are carry out all the necessary functions to keep the human body well maintained including chemical reactions and other complex tasks. In order to carry out these functions, it’s vital for the cell to possess a membrane. Cells create cholesterol, which is a cyclic fatty-product that maintains the cells permeability. Cholesterol is also synthesized to create steroid hormones, and also vitamin D.…

At three years old his younger brother died in the bed next his. Likewise, Alder suffered from rickets and at the age of four he almost died from pneumonia (Schultz, Duane P 2009). His childhood was filled with illness and envy toward his older brother and other kids physical abilities. As a result, this is where Alder says most of his theory develops from, his inferiority feelings toward others and trying to overcompensate his weakness. However, after many years of developing his theory, in…

Diels-Alder Reaction Objective: The objective of this lab was to do a diels-alder reaction using anthracene, maleic anhydride, and xylene to create 9,10-dihydroanthracene, 10-, -succinic acid anhydride. Experimental: Anthracene (1.00g, 5.61x 10-3 mol), maleic anhydride (0.75g, 7.61x 10-3 mol), xylene (5mL, 4.71x 10-2 mol), and a stir rod were added into a round-bottomed flask. The round-bottom flask was then moved to the hood where the it was attached to a distillation column, placed on…

Introduction In 1950 the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Otto Diels and Kurt Alder for their description of an invaluable chemical reaction (The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1950). The reaction they described was for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in a six membered ring with exceptional control of its stereochemistry in one step (Diels-Alder Reaction Gains Nobel Prize). This was an important discovery due to the fact that six membered rings are abundant natural products and man-made…

The various inventions of mankind have not only become pieces of humanity, but necessities to humans themselves, and many would admit after generations of inventing that their lives would be much different without some of these breakthroughs. But -undoubtedly- the invention with the hardest hit on society is the drug, heroin. In 1874, a medical professor named Charles Romley Alder Wright changed the world with the release of the drug (at the time a medical supply). After being…
