some of the most important aspects of it. Because of its inspiration to Fitzgerald, certain lines in the book were written and changed specifically because of his love for the cover that Francis Cugat created. Fitzgerald wanted to connect the book with the cover by using it as guidance for some of the major themes and passages in the novel. Fitzgerald 's sorrowful description of the 1920’s is boldly shown throughout his novel: “Fitzgerald uses imagery not only to create vivid effects but also to emphasize the book’s theme of loss” (Cavendish 532). His writing consists of many descriptive passages in order to show the reader the sadness throughout the novel. Francis utilized cool colors for the background, like dark blue, to create a spooky, hopeless, and depressing feeling. On the other hand, he used warm colors, like yellows and oranges, for the city at the bottom of the artwork to give the readers a feeling of craziness while looking at his illustration of New York. The cover, ‘Celestial Eyes’, shortly became one of the most famous book covers in American history after the final copy of the book was published on April 10, 1925. It is even said that it is “probably one of the most iconic images in the literary design history” (Runa). The cover of The Great Gatsby, created by Francis Cugat, is well…

Did you know that genetically engineered bacteria is used to create human insulin? The medication Humulin is given to diabetic people who lack insulin. Scientists used enzymes to “cut” the section in our DNA that codes for creating insulin. They detached the gene and inserted it into the DNA of the bacteria. It resulted in a bacteria that carries human insulin. We’ve all seen genetic engineering succeed, like Dolly the sheep for example, the first ever mammal to be cloned, but will we see it…

cleansing. California was the epicenter of the American eugenics movement. I still couldn’t believe that we made that idea, because I thought it was Hitler and his crew who were the ones who created that notion in being perfect you needed to be white with blonde hair and blue eyes and anyone else should be exterminated. I just did not knew that we had benefactors in America to support this movement and create the perfect human being. While also having the most prestigious scientist from Yale,…

The main character, Benjamin Martin, was portraying Francis Marion during that time period. Throughout the movie Benjamin is portrayed as a family man with strong morals and regret for his actions during the French and Indian War. When in actuality, Francis Marion was known for his love for killing Indians and he also enjoyed raping his slaves as well. This misrepresentation greatly changes the outlook of the protagonist in this film. The filmmakers clearly thought this would put a poor light on…

Discoveries in the field of genetics have given the world hope for a brighter future. With promises of disease eradication, increased intelligence, and longer lifespans, it is no wonder that people believe that this altering our genetic code is the solution to all of our problems. However, with all of these potential benefits, there come potential dangers. A new scientific breakthrough has come our way. Referred to as CRISPR, this new technology is the easiest, cheapest, and most reliable way of…

high quality DNA sample which he used in his study. A Ph.D. Student, at the University of London. Raymond Gosling suggested to look at the samples through X-ray diffraction which was a new technique at the time. With this technique they could not see the atoms in the crystal but they could work backwards from the diffraction patterns and reconstruct the three-dimensional structure that produced the scattering. James Watson, an American biochemistry student at Naples Marine Station, was…

Saint Francis performed many acts of charity and service to the people he encountered within his lifetime. His life was based upon serving other. Although in his early life he did not care for the needs of others, as he grew older he saw the importance and worth of every life. Every person that Saint Francis encountered mattered to him. He saw the greatness in all creation as he truly believed that all creation was God’s creation. He lived out his life like Jesus did, in a life of poverty and…

A gene is the fundamental unit of heredity. Genes determine the genotype and phenotype of living entities. Compared to the past, genetic research has advanced a great deal. For many centuries, it was believed that God had created the human species; however, due to the researches and experiments done by scientists like Hippocrates, Aristotle, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel… it is now accepted that the true force behind evolution, is the adaptation of the genetic code to the environment. As the…

Gabriela A. Hernandez Mrs.Ayub IB Biology 29 October 2017 Falsification of the Davson-Danielli Model of the cell membrane Since the discovery of the cell, the scientific community has been fascinated by its various structures and functions. One of the most important structures being the cell membrane, which after being discovered in 1855, played a key role in research regarding cell membranes. After the discovery its discovery , many scientists put out data regarding the cell…

Have you thought about how one chromosome in our genes can change the way we are today as we? Even though Knoepfler and Enriquez both have differing views of CRISPR and gene-editing using pathos, ethos, and logos, Knoepfler has a more suitable demeanor with him being in the field of science and having experience in his end which makes it more approachable and understandable. Paul Knoepfler talks about the ethical dilemma on designer babies while Juan Enriquez explains the reprogram of life and…
