How Does Investigation Lead to Discovery? Most people don’t think of exploring the moon when talking about Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. Sure, they both are explorations, but one was on Earth, and the other was on the moon. But they are both capable of answering the question: How does investigation lead to discovery? Investigating, or searching, studying, testing, questioning, experimenting, and finding every possible answer is key to finding new things, but how? The Captain’s Dog (TCD) and Flying to the Moon: An Astronaut’s Story (FTTM) will help with that. The Captain’s Dog is about Seaman, the dog who went on the famed expedition of the Corps of Discovery. FTTM is about Michael Collins and his flight to the Moon. Investigation in TCD and FTTM led to discoveries in many ways that can all help answer the question: how can investigation lead to discovery First and foremost, TCD ended up in a lot of discoveries. The main reason of the expedition was to find, if at all, a Northwest Passage, to allow for easier trade in America. When the Corps investigated this, they discovered there was no Northwest Passage. Along the way, they discovered new animals, like the buffalo, which was a very important discovery as it was one of the most critical food sources. Another thing they discovered was the camas root, a bulbous plant that, after ingesting too much, “had some of them (the Corps) with so much pain in their bellies they could barely stand” (224). When this…

When thinking of successful people you automatically think about how hard people have worked to be successful. In the Outliers book "Malcolm Gladwell" argues that we should look at the world that surrounds successful people. For instance their culture, family, experiences, and their upbringing. Gladwell has made an interesting argument about how people become successful. In this paper, I will be talking about how Bradley Byrne, US Representative for Alabama became successful using some…

Ethel Provo was born and raised in Ramer, Alabama, a small town outside of Montgomery Alabama. Ethel wasn’t born in a hospital; she was born at home by a midwife. The midwife was a close friend of the family, and delivered most of the babies in the area at that time. Back when Ethel was growing up Ramer was a small town where everyone knew everyone. People didn’t bother locking doors back then, because they felt safe and trusted their neighbors. She said there wasn’t much to steal, because…

stood in front of the door as federal authority tried to allow the students to enter. After winning his first term as governor in 1962, Wallace became the foil for the huge protests in which Martin Luther King Jr fought against and destroyed segregation in 1963 and secured voting rights for blacks. In addition, both speeches fought for they think is right. They both have powerful words and phrases that went down in history and will never be forgotten. Even though their speeches have different…

The Giants Stood Upon Many people today are well aware of the amazing feats done by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. From the nonviolence in the Montgomery Bus Boycott where he picked up a following, to the historic March on Washington where he delivered his awe-inspiring “I Have a Dream” Speech (History.com 1). There is no doubt whatsoever, Doctor King was an incredibly influential person in the Civil Rights Movement whose legacy would never be forgotten. However, Isaac Newton once said “If I have…

King was not the initiating figure of the Civil Rights Movement as many people think, it was at the meeting in his church on December 5, 1955 that he was elected into the presidency of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) (49-50) and would soon after start to become the public face of the Movement. Contrary to popular belief, “Dr. King was not a confirmed believer in nonviolence” in the beginning stages of the boycott (53). Nonviolence would later become one of the most important aspects…

Have a you ever heard of the Montgomery Bus Boycott? Well, Martin Luther King Jr. was one leader involved. I once met Martin Luther King Jr, who is great with speaking; he inspired me and others by standing up for what he believes in. We met in a huge office in Montgomery, Alabama when I was being interviewed to be Martin Luther King Jr.’s personal assistant. Our first interview is 1, 1955. I don’t have much time because they are planning to start the boycott on December 5,1955. I need to go…

movement lead to a tremendous impact on segregation in the south. In the 1950's and 1960's King established a large group of people who followed his nonviolence movement in the fight for equality. King and his followers organized marches, sit-ins and bus boycotts. All displayed no violence from the African American's but a lot of violence from the white people; which was their whole goal. The Selma to Montgomery march was a huge part of the whole nonviolence movement. As the march proceeded,…
