tesseract, which in result nearly causes Mrs. Murry to faint. Meg later found out this is what her father was working on before he mysteriously disappeared. The next day while walking, Meg and Charles Wallace run into one of Meg’s classmates, Calvin O’Keefe. Calvin led Meg and Charles to the house of Mrs. Whatsit and encounter Mrs. Who. She promises that she will help Meg and Charles find their father as well as introduce them to Mrs. Which and her magical abilities. After some more talking, the “Mrs. W’s” reveal they are supernatural beings and teleport the kids to their home planet by means of the tesseract. Here is where the “Mrs. W’s” introduced the three kids to the dark cloud known as “The Black Thing” which is threatening their universe. Next, the kids are teleported to a medium (the “Happy Medium”), which tells them famous philosophers and artists on Earth are fighting against the cloud and its darkness. Finally, the kids arrive on the planet of Camazotz, which is entirely engulfed by the Black Thing, thus making everything behave in a mechanistic way. They later find a man who says he knows where their father is, but in order to find their father Charles Wallace had to deliberately let himself get mind-controlled by the man. Once Meg and Calvin found Mr. Murry, he the used the power of Mrs. Who’s glasses to tesser out of Camazotz without Charles Wallace, who is still under the control of the IT (the brain of the “Black Thing”). While tessering, Meg becomes paralyzed…

I like the quote "Expect to be called a stand patter, but don’t be a stand patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don’t be a demagogue," in the speech given by Calvin Coolidge at Massachusetts. It might have a different meaning but to me, it means not to be what people call us. This is a common problem in the world today. We live by what people call us; our every steps and breaths are determined by people. A few weeks ago in my Chem class, a friend of mine asked me a question. She said,…

repeal of Prohibition, many small beer manufacturers that had existed before did not return to the market. Although in retrospective review of the 1920s it is often considered the last period in US history, when the capitalist system remained dependent on the unregulated domination of robber barons, the role of the federal government continued to grow. In addition to supervision of compliance with Prohibition, the government assumed new roles and responsibilities, such as creating and…

Introduction Historical Situation Christianity in the early 16th and 17th centuries went through a very rough and turbulent ride. Some may even argue that we are still feeling the effects of this time today. This was a time of great progress and change in the Catholic Church and much of Europe. This time saw many great minds and brought about many reformers. Some of the many were Huldrych Zwingli, Martin Luther, John Calvin and Erasmus. This in my opinion was the start of one of the most…

(Reece, et al. 2012, p. 190)(Molecules, Genes & Cells Laboratory Manual 2016) . Photosynthesis can be broken down into two parts, light dependent reactions and…

The verse that I chose for my history of interpretation is Romans 9:6-16. This verse is significant in soteriology because it signifies that God is the only one that has the right to decide whom will be saved and whom will be damned. In other words, God saves individuals he thinks to deserve a place in his kingdom and perish people who do not deserve a place in heaven. This passage is also important because it teaches Christians about divine election, how individuals are predestined to salvation…
