The Island of Misfit Toys all starts with one toy not liking how he was being treated. He was being beat daily and was considered a peasant in his society. The work he put his body through was very intense labor and dangerous. But he wasn’t the only toy feeling this way. Ever since the government was losing money toys were beginning to get enraged at the fact that they weren’t getting paid for their work. The government had promised all the toys that they had just found new resources to make…

Frederick Sanger was born to Cicely Sanger and Frederick Sanger on August 13, 1918 in Rendcomb, England. At age 18 Sanger went against his family and decided to become a scientist instead of a doctor like his father (Jeffers, 2017). He attended St. John’s College in Cambridge and majored in biochemistry. After he graduated he married Margaret Joan Howe at age 22 and had three children with her. He later came back and worked with Albert Neuberger in order to study the metabolism of…

All animals belong to the supergroup Unikonta. Since these animals are found in almost every environment on earth, it has become possible to study their characteristics and construct evolutionary relationships, noting morphological and molecular similarities and differences. The relationships between the most primitive of animals were determined by the morphological traits of symmetry, tissues, body cavity, embryological development, and molecular evidence. [1] Symmetry and tissues are major…

triggers actions of war and violence. In pieces such as Margaret Mead’s “Warfare: An Invention – Not a Biological Necessity” and Edward O. Wilson’s “The Fitness of Human Nature”, lay down the foundation that war is an innate quality, contrasted by Charles Siebert’s “An Elephant Crackup?” where he shows that humans are the only creatures to ignite violence, which is not the case. Organisms in the world are social or unsocial. But where the problem lies is that there are essentially no unsocial…

Literary Narrative The famous and brilliant opening line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,” from Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities, properly represents my love hate relationship with literacy. Throughout my life, I have either enjoyed or despised reading and writing; there was no in between for me. From loving to read as a child, to being able to write letters to my state representative, my literary…

Adaption is a change in gene frequencies as a result of natural selection (Wilreker, 2016). An adaption will manifest itself as a characteristic of an organism that is some way contributes to the organisms reproductive success (Wilreker, 2016). Bipedalism is an adaption of upright, two-legged movement rather than four-legged movement, and the key characteristic which makes early hominins different from the apes (Kottak, 2015). There are many advantages of bipedalism adaption which Scientists…

Natural Selection is one of the most important aspects of Evolution. Alfred Russell Wallace was the first to discover the process of Natural Selection along with Charles Darwin. Although Alfred Russell Wallace was the first to discover the Evolutionary Process Darwin was the first to publish the basic principles of Natural Selection. Natural Selection is the process by which qualities are passed on from parents to offspring to make it more likely for an organism to survive and successfully…

yet the face had no a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. […] But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible” (Dickens, 55). The Ghost of the Christmas Past shows Scrooge his past days that have made him to be the man he is today. Shown from the past, Scrooge is “rejoiced beyond all bounds to see them” but later he ends up alone as the others parted to spend Christmas with their…

This excerpt from the book Literature and its Times has an in depth analysis of Victorian Life and provides a brief biography of Robert Louis Stevenson. According to Moss, Stevenson was very involved with Calvinism in his childhood which contributed to an active imagination. This active imagination may have contributed to the creation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. For example, Moss shows how religion inspired Stevenson’s writings: “Furthermore, Dr. Jekyll’s resignation and…

importance of this debate survived countless generations of scientific inquiry because it was a critical part of step towards a greater quest to explain the existence of life. For many centuries, the evidence on evolution was often unsubstantiated until Charles Darwin, developed the foundational ideas of evolution, creating a set of postulates that when adhered to, could determine if a species is able to evolve. The first of these…
