For example, in the excerpt about the American flag, where Rankine inquires about the whereabouts of another person’s American flag, the image with the excerpt reinforces this idea of total patriotism. In the image, a man holds a flag that covers most of his face and his body, perhaps capturing the idea of the excerpt; that a person must no longer be an…

The Patriot Act (which was supposedly intended to protect the innocent citizens of america from “harmful” terrorists) was enacted just one short month after a series of terrorist attacks took place, including the 9/11 attack and the anthrax mailing at the Senate building in Washington. Congress was scared into believing that the only possible solution to preventing this from happening again would be to vote for an act that seemed like the smart political move at the time (only when explained by…

innocent or not. This is in hilarious contrast to the idea that a knight is not supposed to harm the innocent. The idea that women are to attend to a man’s needs and are not significant people in culture at all is satirized by the women at the castle Anthrax tending to that knight’s “needs.” Then they try to trick him into tending to their “needs” by getting him to “punish” them by spanking them for…

to stop the souring of milk by destroying the microorganisms. This was done by heating the liquid and then cooling it. This is now known as pasteurization. Vaccinations developed in 1881 when Pasteur went to a farm and gave cows a weakened dose of anthrax and gave the other cows a full dose of the disease. When he later returned the 6 cows he had injected with the vaccination were still alive, while the others had died. These important discoveries of Louis Pasteur set the scene for medicine as…

excessive reaction to adsorbed tetanus toxoid may be given the simple vaccine when time for a booster occurs. In the preparation for the 1990 Persian Gulf campaign, pertussis vaccine was used as an adjuvant for anthrax vaccine. This produces a more rapid immune response than giving only the anthrax, which is of some benefit if exposure might be imminent. Vaccines may also contain preservatives to prevent contamination with bacteria or fungi. Until recent years, the preservative thimerosal was…
