Symbolism in A Long Way Gone: Memoir of a Boy Soldier Malcom X once said: “Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression” (izquotes) Freedom is fundamental to the growth of humanity. In A Long Way Gone: Memoir of a Boy Soldier, author Ishmael Beah examines the concept of freedom and oppression through illustrating his encounters as a child soldier during the Sierra Leone civil war in the 1990s. The dark influences of war strips Beah of his childhood…

Diels-Alder Reaction Objective: The objective of this lab was to do a diels-alder reaction using anthracene, maleic anhydride, and xylene to create 9,10-dihydroanthracene, 10-, -succinic acid anhydride. Experimental: Anthracene (1.00g, 5.61x 10-3 mol), maleic anhydride (0.75g, 7.61x 10-3 mol), xylene (5mL, 4.71x 10-2 mol), and a stir rod were added into a round-bottomed flask. The round-bottom flask was then moved to the hood where the it was attached to a distillation column, placed on…

INTRODUCTION Conformational isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism whereby the isomers are interconverted by rotations about the single bonds. There be terms used below such as eclipsed conformation, staggered conformation,dihedral angle and a few more. Eclipsed conformation is the conformation whereby the C-H bonds on one carbon is directly aligned with the C-H bonds of the adjacent carbon. When the C-H bond of one carbon bisects the H-C-H bond on the adjacent carbon, it is known as staggered…

Restrictions have been set and laws are in place that make the legal age of alcohol consumption to be 21 years of age. With this law, people still abuse it on all levels. D. Side A: Many people believe that lowering the legal drinking age would encourage young people to drink and increase their chances of being involved in alcohol related accidents. Lowering the drinking age would only encourage teens to consume more alcohol on a daily basis. E. Side B: While people disagree,…

New method of synthesis of oligoetherols with carbazole ring Renata Lubczak Abstract: The new method of synthesis of multifuntional oligoetherols with carbazole ring suitable for obtaining the polyurethane foams of enhanced thermal resistance was presented. At the first step of the synthesis the carbazole was reacted with excess glycidol to obtain the product of (n +1) functionality, where n is number of equivalents of glycidol reacted with carbazole. Carbazole reacts with glycidol without…

compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides etc. Aldehydes and ketones are the oxidation products of alcohols. Depending on the alcohol’s structure, the product obtained will be different. Primary alcohols have one carbon and two hydrogen atoms attached will produce aldehyde and then to carboxylic acid in two steps by oxidation. While secondary alcohols have two carbon atoms and one hydrogen atom attached will produce ketone by oxidation (Kotz, et al., 2015)…

like they have the same opportunities as the people they work with, it benefits the economy with more money intake from alcohol purchases, and more monitoring could be done on 18 year olds that drink in private. Young adults…

fact according to a recent study at University of Texas at Austin “Spending on alcohol ads have shot up 400% over the last four decades.” (Kaufman). It is one thing for an adult of legal age to view alcohol ads in media, but when an adolescent is exposed to so much, it is detrimental to their development. Using statistics and studies on the effects of advertisements on youth it will be clear that alcohol…

obsession. Which is something they do not warn you beforehand about, they just urge you into it. Society’s social norms over the years have vastly gotten so horrendous. Teens getting addicted to such damaging substances (such as marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, etc.) at a young age is atrocious. Often, teens are exposed to addictive substances at their first party, the adolescent will see all the popular people dancing, smoking, drinking and participating in activities that you would not take part…

On a late Monday night in November, I had the chance to attend an Alcoholic Anonymous support group hosted in a church called Forest Hills Presbyterians church. The support group name was not the typical name we mostly hear about an AA group, the name was Progress Not Perfection. Which made me question if it was an AA support group or a group for other meeting but it turned out to be an AA support group. The purpose of the group is for alcoholic individuals to come together and exchange support…
