In “The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part Time Indian” the author, Sherman Alexie, develops characters through his use of figurative language. Alexie’s use of figurative language has a considerable impact on characterization and development of a character's personality and background. Alexie uses similes to develop characters’ background and provide the readers an image of a character in the past. Arnold Spirit says, “I started wearing glasses when I was three, so I ran around the rez looking…

Sherman Alexie is by far one of the most controversial authors in American and Native American literature history. His most notorious works focus on the despair, poverty, and alcoholism that were known to circulate amongst the Native American people, some of which he experienced first hand. He is best known for using a bold, outspoken style in many poems, novels, and short stories. At one point in time, the author states that his “only purpose is to teach children to rebel against authority…

The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian is about a fourteen-year-old boy, Junior. In the book, we see how Junior deals with loss, poverty and starting a new life away from the reservation. He explains being poor feels so shitty but, he can't do anything about until he realizes he can be better of the reservation. The history behind the Indian reservations with for the poor “uncivilized Indians”. The poor part about it is true because people we're from the reservation did not have the…

The mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK, pathway is a chain of proteins in the cell that relays an extracellular signal from the Ras protein to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell. This pathway consists of multiple phosphorylations as MAPKKK phosphorylates and activates MAPKK which then phosphorylates and activates MAPK. At the end of this cascade, MAPK phosphorylates various effector proteins (Alberts, 557). This signaling pathway plays an important role in cells as it results in complex…

Hypothalamic programming of systemic ageing involving IKK-b, NF-kB and GnRH (Zhang et al., 2013). Cellular senescence is when a cell’s replicative mechanism becomes arrested. This was phenomenon was first described in Hayflick’s experiment. Cellular senescence is usually due to protect the cell from becoming cancerous but it also plays a prominent role in aging (van Deursen, 2014). While senescence describes a halt in proliferation, cancer development is the uncontrolled proliferation of…

a. Status/pg.96: the position that someone occupies in a social group (also called social status). Status is something that all of us seem to be worried about even though we should not be. What some define status as varies from person to person. Some strive to have a high status in society some people do not care. Gang members care about their status than the average person. A gang member especially in MS13 cares about his or her status because the higher they are in status the more respect…

then reassemble. This will cause the cycle to end as the G-Protein is now again in its inactive heterotrimeric, GDP bound state. Once the G-Protein has left the receptor, the receptor can then go onto activate other nearby G-Proteins. This leads to signal amplification as the receptor, when bound to an agonist, can activate multiple…

nuclear power plants, where there is a need of evaluation and detection of radiation level and temperature change. The fiber optic sensor are application specific and are based on chemical and physical phenomenon which are then combined with electronic signals through more custom designed protocol. Thus varied uses of these sensors leads to the fragmentation of the market where these sensors find their application in Parameter measurements such as temperature, pressure, strain, vibration,…

Clinical Question 2 – Genetics, Oncology Limit your answer to no more than 3 pages, not including references. I will only read your first 3 pages. A 54 yo woman is diagnosed with malignant melanoma on the posterior neck. The lesion has a horizontal spread of roughly 12 mm although borders are quite irregular. She undergoes surgical resection with wide, grossly clear margins. Pathology report suggests features consistent with an ulcerated lentigo maligna melanoma to a depth of 4 mm. • Describe…

Calcium is the richest mineral in our body holding many functions during the human development. Ca2+ controls many cellular processes such as: metabolism, gene transcription, fertilisation, proliferation, hypertrophy, secretion, exocytosis, cardiac ventricular mechanisms, neuronal dopaminergic pacemaker mechanisms, contraction, coordination and thinking, (Rubin, 2016). These processes can occur anywhere between a few microseconds to hours to complete. The basal Ca2+ concentration of…
