Bones of the head and neck

remember much for I did not play considerable time. However, in those memories that vividly stand out to me one is when one of my good friends, Kyle, broke his finger so badly that the bone was sticking out and blood was dripping onto the field. After a not so successful freshman year, our school decided to hire a new head football coach. Seeking an answer, we were informed that our next football coach would be Jimmy…

“Closely resembling the modern device, Davis’ chair was fitted with two electrodes, which were composed of metal disks held together with rubber and covered in a damp sponge” (history.com). Davis’ design had two disks, one attaching to the inmate 's head, and the other to their back. Kemmler’s execution took eight minutes in which his flesh and clothes burned. During his autopsy they discovered that the electrode attached to his back had burned clear through to his spine (history.com). Burning…

Spina Bifida Spina Bifida, also known as split-back, is a serious birth defect in which a baby’s spine develops incorrectly along the neural tube. It’s classified as a form of myelodysplasia, “a group of developmental anomalies that result from defects that occur during neural tube closure” (Favazza, Myelodysplasia). This deformation can occur anywhere on the spine, and if not treated, can lead to spinal injury and both physical and mental disabilities. Currently, scientists are unsure about the…

phrase is often defined differently in the female African American community. When I look at my hair in the mirror and say that it is “natural” I am stating that it is hair that hasn’t been touched by that “creamy crack” but, rather, replaced with a head full of “nappy hair”. We as black women are making it a point that our hair is beautiful in the way that each hair follicle grows into the various hair textures among us. For many African American women, natural hair is a way to protest…

He was scarcely more than four feet tall and he wore a ragged rusty coat that reached only to his knees. His crooked little legs seemed too him to carry the weight of his great warped chest and the hump that sat on his shoulders. He had a very large head with deep set blue eyes and a sharp little mouth. His face was both soft and sassy at the moment his pale skin was yellowed by dust and there were lavender shadows beneath his eyes. He carried a lopsided old suitcase which was tied with a rope.…

Having a good and noble king is dynamic to succession and happiness with a group of people. Also, it could cause the welfare of people to suffer by foreign or outsider king; however, if a group of people has a great king, they will remain joyful and wealthy till they die. Although, not all kings are the good kings, but the ability of welfare’s people is on their reflection. However, his heroism was more than his dragon killing skills and he was courageous, strong and generous. The Beowulf is one…

have been portrayed as disabled or isolated, for example, in Switched at Birth, a deaf character gets nearly hit by a car, starts a kitchen fire, and is robbed while her nearby deaf friend doesn’t help because he can’t hear her cries for help. In Bones, a teenage deaf girl is treated as a homicide suspect because she doesn’t immediately speak to the police (Foss 437-438). As a result of this representation, hearing people assume that deaf people would jump to any chance for a cure. Cochlear…

The burning sensation of the beverage lingered in my throat as I walked the city’s desolate streets. It was a cold, dark night, with only occasional flashes of light from the flickering, barely functional streetlights. As I trudged along, I noted the lifelessness of the town; the buildings were empty, bare, and as dark as the night itself. Decaying, with nary a window left unboarded, most businesses had left the city as crime increased. The drug-fueled gang-violence had been quite a scourge on…
