natural history. Brown also served five years in the British army. During his years in the army he was “an ensign and assistant surgeon” (Britannica 1). “President of the Royal Society, Sir Joseph Banks, recommended Brown to the Admiralty for the post of naturalist abroad a ship, called the investigator” (Britannica 1). Brown had been going through college with a career in medicine but later on found that he desired to study plants instead. When Brown was in London for an outing he had noticed the president of the Royal Society, Sir Joseph Banks. Banks recommended Brown to the Admiralty for the post of naturalist aboard a ship, the Investigator, for surveying voyage along the northern and southern coasts of Australia under the command of Matthew Flinders (Britannica 1). This voyage to Australia opened the eyes of Brown and made him realize his passion of the study of plants. Some of the other scientists working during the years of Brown were: Thomas Young, William Henry, Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac. Thomas Young was an English physician who started the wave theory. This theory stated the principle of light interference. William Henry was also an English physician who proposed Henry’s Law. This law states “the mass of a gas which will dissolve into a solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the solution” (Helmenstine 1). Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner was a German chemist who advanced the development of the periodic…

When I was first given this assignment, I had trouble deciding who to write the paper on. For years, I’ve fought a mental battle, trying to prevent people from influencing me— I want to have my own opinions and beliefs. But I realized that the influence didn’t need to concern views or interests. It could be about how somebody had influenced my behaviors, my coping mechanisms, my view of myself. I knew who to write my paper on. An important influence in my life has been my older brother, Matthew…

Standing at the lights waiting to cross Flinders, waiting to cross Swanston. Standing at the tram stop. Walking up and down the steps; walking along the path in front of Young and Jacksons. Jo and Ash had gone into Young and Jacksons once. They went in with a man they’d met on a tram. ‘I’m here on holidays and don’t know anyone – can I buy you a drink?’ ‘Yes,’ Ash said.

went there.’ (Page 45). This recalls the parable of the wedding feast (Matthew 22:1-14), in which, lacking invited guests, the king sends his soldiers out to the highways to gather revelers. This allusion is resumed when Nick states that "I [Nick] had been actually invited" (Page 45). The parable concludes with the reflection that "many are called, but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14).

In verse 15, Jesus makes the notable comparison between…
