“Look, J!” M exclaims happily. “It’s a fox!” J turns around to look at M. She is pointing to a small creature peeking out from behind a large tree. J frowns, slightly disappointed there are any ordinary creatures like foxes in such an unordinary place. She turns away from the two, going back to the rusted compass in her hands. The fox moves from behind the tree and M gasps, causing J to turn back to the younger girl. Her mouth drops open. It’s no ordinary fox like she’d originally thought. No,…

Persephone straightened her skirt. She was more nervous today than she'd ever been before. Interviewing the Malfoys was a huge task, and to make it easier, she'd decided to interview the youngest member of the family, Draco Malfoy. When Mr. Malfoy came into the room, she stood and shook his hand, and invited him to be seated. So far, he seemed withdrawn and quiet, not the evil mastermind so many seemed to view him as. She decided to just dive in. "Mr. Malfoy, would you mind just telling me a…

Daylight saving is when we spring forward an hour at 2:00 am on Sunday, March 12, and fall back an hour on November 5 (2:00 am). Daylight savings originally began in during WWI in order to reduce the amount of fuel consumed by artificial lighting. It was then removed until WWII. But WWII is long over so why do we still have it? Most people think that it helps with safety, less car accidents if there is daylight at the end of the day. However, this “benefit” only comes at the cost of the loss of…

by stating that one of the three colors that the human eye is sensitive to is the color yellow. However, according to Lilienfeld et al. (2014), the Trichromatic theory actually suggest that the human eye contains specific photoreceptor cells, specifically cones, that are responsible for colored vision and are sensitive to the colors red, green, and blue. Also, the paper incorrectly defines the location of the rods and cones within the eye by stating that these photoreceptor cells surround the…

door and it started to crack. Eventually they broke thru and saw him. I could see the craziness in his eyes. Acting fast, I took one massive swing and got him right across the face. He screamed and ran right out our back door and into the darkness. I stayed inside with marcy and called the police. They arrived asked me to describe him, but I really didn't get a good look at anything, but his eyes. They took a few blood samples of his blood on the…

Kinds: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases. According to the National Eye Institute glaucoma damages the optic nerve which can lead to vision loss and blindness. There are many different kinds of glaucoma. The most common kinds are open-angle and angle-closure…

Congenital optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a condition in which one or both optic nerves are not fully developed, giving the appearance of abnormally small, pale optic nerve heads upon fundus examination (AAPOS, n.d.). In comparison to the size of the disc, the retinal blood vessels appear larger than normal, when in actuality the vasculature is of normal caliber (Kaur et al, 2013). This non-progressive developmental abnormality is typically characterized by a combination of neurological,…

Glaucoma is an eye disorder where there is pressure in the eyeball that can cause loss of vision. The pressure that is created is known as “intraocular pressure”. It mainly affects the optic nerve. If caught early enough, treatment can be done to prevent major vision loss, or for your vision to worsen. Glaucoma cannot only develop just from your drainage system malfunctioning. Babies can have an underdevelopment of the drainage system in their eye, which can be inherited, but is very rare. This…

reached a large room with rows of ugly striped curtains. Behind one, we found my mother. However, the patient did not resemble her at all. Her face and neck were bandaged, but the swelling was clearly visible. She could not speak, but when she opened her eyes, they smiled at me. Then, they shifted and focused on my aunt who translated their meaning immediately. “Kiss your mother goodbye,” my aunt instructed. Once home, I sat with my grandmother and sketched, page after page, as thoughts raced…
