embryo. Even though it is proven to make these altered kids smarter if they survive, they may not be normal. The national debt of the U.S is trillions of dollars(OI). We could be spending taxpayer money on something that have a higher chance of working. These are some reasons why it’s an awful idea. Even though some people may say that changing human genes so people don’t feel pain is a good thing, it’s really not. To start off, scientists might be able to alter the genes so humans can’t feel…

An Examination of Feminism in Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is often lauded as a novel of great importance in the world of feminist literature. Of course, the titular character is relatively independent, she wants things for herself, and her idea of a good life does not begin and end with marriage. There is much more to Jane than that. Jane Eyre was surely very feminist for the time, and does have a solid handful of human values, but to put it on a pedestal as some sort of Great…

So I am sick. Welcome to the club, right? Well, last night I went in to Urgent Care because I felt awful. I got there around 6:30pm. They told me it would be about an hour or so before I would be seen. Around 7:15 or so (they close at 8 ) a man came in with his little boy lying on his shoulder, the little boy was clearly so sick. (He was probably 2-3 yrs old or so). The guy working at the clinic told the man that they were at full capacity and were no longer taking anymore patients for the…

because I knew that I was never going back to my foster family, who had lived in Texas, and when I went to bed that night my life would be changed forever. Being adopted has shown me that family comes in many forms. When I first got adopted, it was something I was ashamed of. People come up to me and say, “ Oh, you’re the girl adopted from Texas”, or “ You’re Brennan’s sister that is adopted, right?” It was very difficult to fit in with people because they knew my family.While I was out in…

history does not repeat itself, whether it’d be the events of his own past or the world’s. As he teaches children about the Holocaust, he constantly preaches the idea that being different is okay as during the awful time, those who were different were persecuted and eventually terminated, something that should not be repeated and thus he always tried to find those who are different through various discussions and assignments. For example, Herr Silverman assigned his students to write an essay…

War is an awful thing. War makes people do terrible things. While war can form great bonds between people, war destroys greater bonds between people and nations. The books In My Hands, and Night, both tell the tales of what happened during the massacre of the Jews. During WWII, many Jews were captured and put into concentration camps by the Nazis in Germany and were later killed. In My Hands is about Irene and how she survived pretending to be a German girl, while she was actually Polish, and…

The quote “Wilderness needs no defense. It only needs defenders.” by Edward Abbey talks about that the wilderness shouldn't need its own defense, but should have people who support it and protect it from the people who do harm to it and the ones living in it. In certain ways the wilderness and its animals do have ways of defending itself. For example, when small animals take shelter in Joshua Trees when being attacked by larger animals the tree acts as a defence to the little animal. Another…
