The Day After Tomorrow

The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 science fiction movie directed and produced by Roland Emmerich. The movie depicts the disastrous event of an abrupt climate shift, which is accompanied by several natural disasters such as tornadoes and flooding, causing a new ice age in the Northern Hemisphere (The Day After Tomorrow). After its release the movie received very negative reviews from the scientific community for being scientifically incorrect and showing natural events that are barely possible to occur.

Though I do not remember, even to this day, what exactly took place that day, I do realize that it was my fault for jumping the wrong way off of a jump. Also, I realized how many other times I needed to take responsibility, such as cheating on an exam and getting caught for it. I also realized, that I needed to apologize to my father and mother for scaring them by making the mistake I did. I glanced at my helmet the day after my wreck, and noticed a large indent on the top posterior part, which…

for evolution; organisms that are “picked” by natural selection evolve and pass on their genes. Drastic changes in environment, such as the nuclear apocalypse in The Day After, or the frigid blizzard-hurricanes in The Day After Tomorrow, can alter natural selection and by relation evolution. All catastrophes- natural or manmade- have a direct impact on the evolution of man as a species. Man can greatly impact natural selection in many ways. For example, we selectively breed organisms to get…

Game day. I wake up and that is my first thought. Although it is not the first game of the season, so many emotions are running through me. Western Dubuque is a great team. There is crappy weather coming our way.I need to eat breakfast. Their leading scorer is 2nd in the state for goals. All of these toxic thoughts flooded my mind. One thing I did not know that morning is that I would take the biggest emotional and physical blow later that day. The feeling I get whenever I step on to the field…
