From the start, I think it can be agreed upon that Napoleon dynamite is undoubtedly a unique character whether he could be characterized as a classical anti-hero or not. The strange and seemingly endless quarks he possesses all add up to give the audience, in my opinion, a mixed feeling about Napoleon. In my professional opinion though I do not believe Napoleon would fall under the categorization of an anti-hero. Napoleon just does not encourage very much sympathy from the audience, if any at…
Atomic Theory The atom is the smallest unit of an element. It is composed of two main parts. The nucleus is the central point of an atom. Compacted in that small space are neutrons and protons that constantly jiggle. Neutrons are uncharged particles that add mass to the nucleus without adding a charge. The protons are positively charged particles that are also located in the nucleus and symbolized as p+. The second part of an atom is the electron cloud. The electron cloud is a cloud…
Flashforward The story is centered around a supernatural event called the flashforward that is caused by unforeseen circumstances. Scientists at the CERN particle collider facility in Geneva, Switzerland conduct an experiment in which they hope will detect the Higgs Boson particle. Instead, the scientists "Flashforward" experiencing visions of their lives twenty years in the future then return to discover that they've been unconscious for two minutes. The aftereffect from the flashforward…
The atomic theory has come a long way since 400 B.C.E when the atomic model looked like a billiard ball, it is a very fundamental part of modern chemistry. About twenty four hundred years ago the first supporters of an atomic theory were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus who proposed the theory that matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller pieces over and over, he called these tiny pieces atomos. This comes from the meaning “cannot be cut”. He thought that atoms were…
A redox reaction occurs wherein two or more chemical compounds undergo oxidation and reduction half-reactions, forming new chemical substances. Life can be compared to a redox reaction in that people form different bonds with one another, separating and forming new connections throughout their lives. However, in Redox Reactions there is a substance known as a spectator ion. It does not bond with any other substance nor does it take part in the reaction. This is similar to life in that some…
