Epidemic Typhus is caused by Rickettsiae prowazekii, and Murine Typhus caused by Rickettsiae typhi. This bacterium is spread most commonly by the bite of an arthropod insect such as lice, fleas, mites, and ticks. When an arthropod feeds on a human host or rodent who has the typhus disease, the insect then contracts the bacterium. It then is able to grow and reproduce inside the intestinal cells until it is released in the fecal matter…

I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The chapter is about two kids, the finches and they meet Dill. The kids are trying to get Boo Radley to come out of his house. In this journal, I will be predicting and characterizing. As I keep reading the story I have predicted that they will not meet Boo Radley. Boo Radley is locked up. When he stabbed his dad with scissors he was locked up in the courthouse so the kids will not be able to see him. The sheriff had no heart to put Boo Radley…

I. Invention a. Research Recourses I think Abby did a really good job with her research. She found information from some good creditable sources that was very relevant to what she was speaking about. One source however, The Examiner, isn’t really the most creditable. I think she could have found a better source in place of that. On her outline, I have no idea where her sources are in her speech and I got sort of lost when she gave her speech so I didn’t get to write it down. b. Methods of…

subsequently goes on to describes the meeting of the wolf with grandmother, “Off with his disguise, that coat of forest-coloured cloth, the hat with the feather tucked into the ribbon; his matted hair streams down his white shirt and she can see the lice moving in it” (217).It can be argued there is skepticism by the reader of what the intentions of the wolf are because after killing granny he dresses up. He could have very well easily stayed naked as a wolf and when the girl came to the door…

camp, Auschwitz. He then got nicknamed “The Angel Of Death.” They made that nickname the surviving symbol of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” Mengele was the chief provider for the crematoria and gas chambers. One time it was reported that one block had lice, and he solved…

In the trenches, you can get lice and trench foot. Trench foot is the exposure of your feet to wet, cold, and unsanitary conditions. The trenches were filled with muddy water, human waste, wounded soldiers, and dead bodies. Not only does All Quiet on the Western Front give many examples…

Being trash is more than just being poor In society, people tend to judge others so fast without giving them a second look; the rich are looked at as successful and the poor are looked at as trashy. However, to be trash goes far beyond the limits of how wealthy a person is. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Miss Alexandria refers to the Cunninghams as “trash” because they are poor, but to be trash is much more than that. To be “trash” is not solely based on wealth, but morals as well. The…

The 18th centuries were a time of elegance and knowledge, but the most striking of all were the over-the-top fashion and beauty statements. All people in this time were poised, graceful, and their makeup and fashion always looked intriguing. Some things that played a role in the fashion and beauty world were shoes, makeup, teeth, hair, and even wigs! Shoes had many purposes in fashion and everyday life. Makeup was what made men and women look “perfect”. Having white teeth was wanted by everyone.…

I am reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The first chapter is about a group of kids that are trying to make a virtually unseen man named Boo Radley, come of his house. In this journal I will be predicting and characterizing. I predict that the kids will not meet boo for many reasons. First, Boo is always locked up and is rarely seen. The Radley household is closed weekdays, as well as Sundays. Normal townsfolk would usually go to church, and after that, would talk and chat…

said in chapter eighteen on page 196, “... the food was infested with rats and maggots.” Which only furthered the spread of disease within the camps. These infestations also carried over to their confines, which were infested with mosquitos, rats, lice and other disease carrying creatures, so it should come as a shock that Louis contracted beriberi from the inadequate nourishment, and housing he received while in the hostile camp. However, if the men ever spoke out against any of the injustices…
