As stated by sadhu,” the scorpion’s dharma (that is, its basic characteristic or duty) is to sting, while his dharma is to save. If the scorpion, even in the face of danger, did not abandon his dharma, how could he -- a human being – abandon his?” Which portrays that even the animals that are seem as inferior to humans do not give up their ideals, then humans should maintain their…

contrast both of them. First, I’m contrasting Greg to Mike. Greg is a fourteen year old who has trouble in math and wants to join a basketball team, “His father… lecturing endlessly about his poor efforts in math.” and “It wasn’t often the Scorpions took on new players, especially fourteen year olds…”, states “The Treasure of Lemon Brown”.

In particular, marine snail, Conus geographus toxins such as μ–conotoxins GIIIA, GIIIB, and GIIIC affect the Nav channels. These toxins block current flow thereby reducing membrane…
