The Normal

There was the normal Go-Carts and then there was ones that you could only drive if you had your driver license. Well all the kids were to young so we just did the normal ones, and had a blast. Then another night we had family cookout and camp fire. We cooked burgers and hot dogs, also had smores. We spent a lot of the time chilling out around…

Frost’s uses a solemn and cynical tone of voice. “Out, Out-” starts off with beautiful imagery of the countryside, but it soon turns dark as the poem progresses. During the time this poem was written it was normal in day-to-day life for a child to do a grown man’s job. A child lost his life by “Doing a man’s work, though a child at heart” (Frost,24). He stated in the poem: “No more to build on there. And they, since they / Were not the one dead, turned to their…

Normal flora is the colonisation of human tissues by a diverse mixture of microorganisms. This colonisation begins at birth with pioneer species, depending on physiochemical factors. The normal flora inhibits the skin, oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital and conjunctival membranes. They are commensal bacteria; getting shelter and nourishment from the host without causing harm (Gould, 2012). To a healthy individual, most normal flora is harmless, however some…

stated that you cannot always judge a book by its cover. The Landlady is a murderous woman whose guests never leave her Bed and Breakfast alive. From the moment Billy sees the Bed and Breakfast, it is clear that both the place and Landlady are not normal. An example from the story is, "We have it all to ourselves," she said, smiling at him over her shoulder as she led the way upstairs. "You see, it isn't very often I have the pleasure of taking a visitor into my little nest." The girl was…

What defines abnormal and Normal behaviour? Society, laws, age groups and religious beliefs are just some factors which determine how people’s behaviour is viewed. For example in the UK it is illegal for girls under 16 years of age to get married; however this is not the case in more than over at least 30 countries worldwide, the UK multicultural residents, attempt to continue to practice their traditions regardless of the law breaking social norms. Underage forced marriages are a still problem…

Normal gastrointestinal bacteria have many important functions in humans. Some of them include nutrient metabolism, xenobiotic and drug metabolism, maintenance of structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, immunomodulation, and protection against pathogens. Scientists studying the human intestinal tract have discovered that there are over 35,000 microflora species in the human gut. For nutrient metabolism, GI microflora works to get nutrients from the breakdown and fermentation of…

In Dean Spade’s book Normal Life, healthcare justice and systemic issues regarding gendered treatment and access to healthcare are discussed in depth, with a focus specifically on the effects of injustice and inaccessibility to transgender and intersex individuals. Normal Life was extremely personal in terms of the subject matter, which made it difficult to read through; however, I found myself nodding along as he outlined and went into detail on the various mechanisms surrounding the…

It is easy to find out who won a war, and it is easy to find statistics on casualties and fatalities. What is less accessible however, is the intangible component that is mental survival. We know that many of those who survive wars develop some level or form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but we pay less attention to the mental state that exists for these soldiers during the war. During the most widespread war in history, WWII, countless individuals abandoned their lives of normality…

Well, I'm really enjoying everything. I work in Monty Kipps' own office (did you know that he's actually Lord Monty??), which is in the Green Park area. It's me and a Cornish girl called Emily. She's cool. There's also three more yank interns downstairs (one from Boston!), so I feel pretty much at home. I'm a kind of an intern with the duties of a PA – organising lunches, filing, talking to people on the phone, that kind of thing. Monty's work is much more than just the academic stuff – he's…

I don't think I am normal, in fact I know I am not normal. There are many things that do not make me normal, but one of them stands out the most. You see, I don't like to eat my food if it does not smell good. If the food I eat smells bad it doesn't matter how it taste I won't eat it. If there is ever an occasion when I have to eat the food because my mom is making me, or I don't want to refuse food from someone. I either tell them I am not hungry or I do what most kids do, cover my nose. I want…
