In this essay, I will use the scientific method to determine the possible cause for two different scenarios. The scientific method allows a person to go through predictions, develop hypotheses and testing those hypotheses to determine if they are true or not. If the hypothesis proves not true, the next hypothesis testing begins until a proven determination is found. In the first scenario, I went into my kitchen to prepare breakfast for my family. Upon entering the kitchen, I proceeded to get…

The theme of innocence, or lack thereof, is explored in “Prayer Before Birth” and “Once Upon a Time”. MacNiece writes “forgive me, For the sins that in me the world shall commit” while Okara writes “There was a time indeed they used to shake hands with their hearts, but that’s gone, son”. Both poets attempt to show how innocence can be corrupted by the world. MacNiece tries to justify the sin that he will inevitably combat, crediting it to the world he lives in, while Okara believes that he…

Recently, it has been published that the snake exhibits diurnal activity patterns in its primary habitat of open pine forests on sandy soils with an abundance of herbaceous vegetation (J.B. Pierce et al. 2014).…
There is a flaw in most medical insurance companies. Most citizens in America are paying double for medical insurance. They are paying a monthly premium and on top of that when a medical emergency occurs and the customer is billed they pay 100% of that amount until the deductible is met. Deductibles are applied to benefit the medical insurance company. I agree that a deductible should be paid but just not the substantial amount that companies charge. The deductible may vary from each plan. The…

I went to the people in the distance and noticed that they were all students from my school. I cut them free and I found an…
