The Mesopotamian civilization and the Yellow river civilization both had characteristics that showed an advanced society. Mesopotamia had a form of centralized government named Hammurabi's code which is a set of the laws written by King Hammurabi. The Yellow river valley civilization had oracle bones, a form of religion which were shoulder bones of animals that were thrown into fires and read by priests to see what would happen in the future. Mesopotamia achieved greatness because of a written…

The defining moments of our lives are remembered by specific details. The memories of these moments can easily be triggered when least expected. Good or bad, a particular sight, a distinct scent, a familiar noise, or a sweet taste can bring back a moment as if it was being relieved. Esmeralda Santiago faced an experience that took her back to the days of her childhood in the short story “Guavas”. Santiago passed through a fruit display in the local grocery store when she was caught off guard.…

I do believe that there are circumstances under which a person should take calcium supplements. Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body, yet so many people still have trouble consuming enough calcium rich foods. Calcium is by far the most important mineral for our structure. One circumstance under which a person should take calcium supplements is if a doctor specifically prescribes a patient a calcium supplement due to having any kind of deficiency. Another circumstance is if…

Molecules are a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. Molecules are three-dimensional entities and therefore should be depicted in three dimensions. My group decided on the claim that as electrons are bonded to a central atom, the greater the electron repulsion, causing an increase in the bond angles. Bond angles are the angles that are formed between two adjacent bonds on the same central…

According to statistics as of 2012, veterans are taking their lives at an astonishing rate of 22 a day or more.

From WW I to present day PTSD is a very real and misunderstood by many. Ever sense there has been war there have been signs of PTSD according to history. The signs are in…

rose, because it symbolized love and romance. Some other common symbols were the myrtle, scallop shell, mirror, and pearls. The myrtle is a plant that symbolizes love and is the Hebrew symbol for marriage; this was a sacred plant to both goddesses. Peals were known as a symbol, because they are known to be precious and delicate, describing the goddess compared to Ares/Mars, the god of war. The scallop shell represented the myth of her forming from sea foam. Lastly, the mirror was used to…

clubs, after-school plans, and any social events like the plague. I marked my days as only for academics, completely ignoring all the other opportunities high school laid within my reach. Fear of what the future held for me meant I reverted into a shell that I was yet to break out of, classes and…

carbonate ions which are necessary in the creation of coral shells and skeletons decrease significantly. (Australian Government, n.d.) Therefore, more acidic seawater impacts coral significantly, dissolving their shells and skeletons, and hindering their ability to absorb calcium carbonate. Ocean acidification not only impacts coral and the animals that rely on coral as their main food source, but the animals that make calcium carbonate shells such as snails and clams (How does climate change…

Joseph Cornell was an artist known for his shadow box art. He kept his interests separate and together by creating these boxes which also reflected the small wooden house in which he lived. The script is made of compartments rather than having one event trigger another. A character may come into a scene or Cornell may move out of a scene and the scene completely changes. It is not always clear if the stage directions are to only be followed or if some are to be read. Sometimes there are…
