On February 23, I had to opportunity to see the new Black Panther Movie, and I thought it was good, with a really good line here and there, but it was not anything spectacular. I am sure, though, that it will be a better live action Lion King adaptation than the one coming out with Beyoncé in it, as the plot of Black Panther mirrors the original Lion King. The Acting was good, as good as we have come to except from a Marvel movie, but nothing ground breaking. Chadwick Boseman and Letitia Wright…

It seems that his bad thoughts are dominating his mind, and he can’t control them. Shakespeare uses this technique to show the personal progression of Macbeth and shows him gradually turning into a tyrant, that he becomes later in the play. However, in the early stages of the play, Macbeth is perceived as a…

problem not just in Africa, but also in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the northern Mediterranean”. Desertification is spreading all over the world. Many livable, natural environments such as forests or green lands now are just sand and scorpions. As in Marquis’s poem, he creates a little cockroach named Archy to blame humans for what has happened to the…

Everything around me was so... empty. A neverending sea of black surrounded me yet these small spherical things floated from me... bubbles? How do I know of this information? Why is everything becoming lighter? Brighter? The sea of black illuminated as a sphere of white grew and expanded in front of me. It grew and grew until it covered all of my vision. And the words and voice spoke to me. It was cheerful, bright, feminine and oddly robotic. "Welcome A.I. Bermonte to Duel Dimensions"…

recognized the area, and her breath caught. The cave, less than a hundred yards away. She and Levi promised not to mention it to anyone. Her mind raced to that awful day—Jake’s jealous fight—Angela’s denial of her pregnancy. Levi had recovered from the scorpion sting and returned to the ranch. He came up to the house after Jake left to check fences. She didn’t invite him in; instead, they stood on the porch. He held his hat in his hand, rubbing his fingers across the worn brim. “I’m beholden to…

The Permian Mass Extinction Introduction There are five major extinctions in history: the Late Devonian, the Ordovician-Silurian, the Permian-Triassic, the Triassic-Jurassic, and the Cretaceous-Tertiary. Known as the Big Five, these extinctions exceeded all others in size and destruction, each killing more than 60% of species from that period. Each one acted as a bottleneck, allowing the survival of only a fraction of the organisms that had been thriving before, from which evolution and life…
