Cat's Eye

One of the main themes of Cat's Cradle is the role of religion on people. Vonnegut concerns himself with the idea that religion is a means to restore optimism to a world damaged by the cold truths of science and reality. A good example of this is the religion of Bokononism in San Lorenzo. When telling about past of this religion, Julian Castle explains, "when it became evident that no governmental or economic reform was going to make the people much less miserable, the religion became the one…

Retinoblastoma is highly sensitive to radiation. External beam radiotherapy is used for cancers that are in both eyes, or extend in to the bones of the eye, or when an eye contains a tumor larger than 16mm. It is also used when the tumor is near the fovea, multiple tumors are present, or it can be used to treat the eye socket after the eye has been removed. Plaque radiotherapy is for cancers that are in one eye, or concentrated, which creates less collateral damage usually seen in external beam…

(IADLs) would have on my day. My experience consisted of an eye-patch covering up my left eye for 12 hours. Some of the activities I found to be the more difficult were: putting on make-up, tying my left shoe, focusing on the television, walking downstairs, focusing on a PowerPoint in class, and riding in a car. Riding in a car was the most difficult. Before the experiment I have been prone to motion sickness. After wearing the eye patch for just three hours, my equilibrium and sensory…

harmed by products. But the big question is, that is sometimes overlooked is, is it ethical? The answer to that is no. With animal testing, animals are forced to digest cleaning products, inhale toxic fumes, forced to have harsh chemicals put in their eyes several times, and forced to mutilated while still alive to see their reactions (ProCon.org). Animals are forced to suffer for hours, days, and years until their…

“What were you thinking?” The cat’s snarl cut through the air. “You could have been killed, Brightpaw! How many times have I told you that that side of the territory is dangerous?” The brown tabby stood in front of Brightpaw, glaring down at her with wide yellow eyes. She stared back with defiance gleaming in her own eyes. “You told me to be independent! To take charge of my own education! I did exactly what you asked, Quailfang.” “That's not what I meant, and you know it.” Though their…

is important to not only test the central vison but also at the peripherals of the retina. This is because individuals tend to not notice vison loss at the peripherals compared to central vision as when an individual views an object they move their eyes and fixate on that object by using their central vison and not their peripheral. Visual acuity is highest at the fovea and lowest at the peripheral which ensures high visual acuity at fixation. A way to measure peripheral vision is the Humphrey…

Madame Marie de Thorigny or Hélène de Thorigny; two women from the same wealthy family that Largillière had painted for in the past. The viewer’s eye begins in the upper left-hand corner and is captured by the peaceful spilling of water from a fountain into a soft hand. An elegant woman’s supple fingers curl, feeling the water. She gazes into the viewer’s eyes with rosy cheeks and smooth skin. The viewer is taken aback by her overwhelming elegance. Her hair is of the latest style, her dress is…
