Cece’s partial deafness interferes with her life in many different ways. Cece’s deafness causes others to think and act differently around her. People really only cared for Cece because she has a disability. They only paid attention to Cece because she was different. Cece was also not very well known to everyone. Cece is an outcast in her school. The result of Cece’s accident caused others to help more ways than usual. On page 65 it say’s that Ginny make a big deal out of her hearing. She even talks very loudly around Cece. Cece had confronted Ginny and had said “ YOU DON’T HAVE TO TALK TO ME SO LOUD AND SLOW, I CAN’T STAND IT!”. This helps prove the point of my overall position because from the start Cece had said that it felt like Ginny was watching her. In one of the comic panels, the author had put dashed lines going from Ginny’s eyes to Cece’s hearing aids. This represented that all the time Ginny was only paying attention to Cece’s hearing aids. Some other examples that supports my overall position is that a girl named Bonnie said “ Wait a minute are you deaf? Is that what the cords are for because I know SIGN LANGUAGE. Cece, you are special”. Bonnie didn’t do this to any other people, only because they are not different. The only reason Ginny talked so loud and slow was because at that moment she had seen her hearing aids. Why is it that right at that moment when she had first seen her hearing aids, she assumed that she couldn’t hear? This proves that people do have…

Plant Growth Lab The world is full of variety of species that help make the Earth a unique place to live in. Many of the species that live on Earth are plants. Plants can be Bryophytes or Tracheophytes. Bryophytes are non vascular and lack roots, stems and leaves. Tracheophytes can be spore producing or seed producing. Seed producing Tracheophytes can be Gymnosperms or Angiosperms. Gymnosperms have seeds that are enclosed in a cone and would include Pines and Coniferous trees. Angiosperms…

hard rocks or soft sphagnum moss. Despite predicting that they would have a preference for a softer area, both pill bugs spent more of their time in the rocks than in the moss. This suggests that Armadillidium vulgare has a preference towards environments with hard surfaces over soft ones, possibly due to factors like light or surface area. However, certain experimental errors such as material density and poor handling may have skewed the accuracy of results. Introduction…

I chose Wicked Plants by Amy Stewart over the others on the list of approved books because it sounded more interesting and more relevant than some that just focused on one branch of Botany, instead of the entire wicked spectrum like Stewart does. I like how she breaks up the world of devious plants into seven distinct categories. The plants are reported on alphabetically with relation to their crime, but with a heading that falls under one of the seven wicked categories; deadly, destructive,…

Seed Dispersal Lab Max Bellinger Period 1 2-8-18 Seeds are dispersed three different ways, through water, wind, and by animals. When a plant goes through water dispersal, a light, buoyant seed is produced to be able to float down rivers, streams, and oceans. An example of a plant that uses the water dispersal method would be…

Throughout many of the texts this semester, categorization of people is present throughout. Categorizing others, according to Donna Haraway, is “domination of ‘race’, ‘gender’, ‘sexuality’, and ‘class’” (Haraway 2003: 321). While for organizations sake, categories and labels seem to be very helpful, authors Donna Haraway and Philip K. Dick challenge this norm. They contest that such practices of categorization are archaic and harmful to the victims, and we need to break past these traditions. To…

is only a special who is below, or not equal to, the humans who were unaffected by the dust. However, if we take into account the organism/machine binary from Donna Haraway’s “A Cyborg Manifesto,” he is actually more “human” than the non-specials. This organism/machine binary is the relationship that humans and other living beings have with technology. In A Cyborg Manifesto by Donna Haraway, she claims, “ we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short,…

shirt, a light blue jean jacket with patches of punk bands on it, her bell bottomed jeans were a color of deep denim blue. He noticed her pale and lightly sprinkled freckles on her delicate face. Her eyes were sparkling blue, like a diamond on display. As soon as she gazed over he turned away. “Hey man, having fun?” Said Eric. “Totally dude.” Later on into the night…….. “Stop ruining this beautiful music! “ Protested Fez and Jackie to the crowd, which paid no attention to their pleads.…

That 70’s show, airing from 1998 to 2006, told of a group of teenagers; Eric, Donna, Jackie, Kelso, Hyde, and Fez, and how they kept themselves busy in a small town of Wisconsin. Each teen has a very stereotypical personality; we have all beauty no brains Kelso, independent and outspoken feminist Donna, and rebel without a cause Hyde. The teens wear the exact clothing one would picture when reminiscing about the 70’s – funky patterns, t-shirts with your favorite band that your parents could not…
