body as an unknown “beast.” They panic and alert Ralph. “‘Ralph, wake up!’ The leaves were roaring like the sea. ‘Ralph, wake up!’ ‘What’s the matter?’ ‘We saw-’ ‘-the beast’” (Golding 98). The boys are panicked by the unknown “beast” and alert their leader, Ralph. This “beast” represents the inherent fear within humanity. Despite only being a dead body, the “beast” manages to provoke an irrational fear within the boys because the boys don’t know what it is. This fear of the unknown later…

setting, pain, and death. One of the many reasons Douglas Mawson had to go though the most adversity for science is because of death. On page one of Into the Unknown, Belgrave Ninnis, part of Mawson’s trio, fell into a crevasse along with six other huskies, and their most valuable gear (Into the Unknown, page 1-2). Also, later on in Into the Unknown, as the rest of the huskies started to lose strength and died off, Mawson and Xavier Mertz shot and killed the dogs and ate them-gross. Mertz…

Going into the unknown for new opportunities is more beneficial than living in your daily routine that doesn’t change. Living in your daily routine that doesn’t change every day will become boring and uneventful, as appose to going into the unknown for new opportunities. An example would be the movie Groundhog Day. A weather man is sent to cover a story that he calls “rat”, he gets really frustrated with the story because it is his fourth day on the story. As he awakes the next day, he realizes…

Question: How can the detectives successfully identify the correct suspect using physical and chemical properties? Hypothesis: If identifying unknown substances, using the chemical and physical property skills knowledge learnt, the unknown substance can be further be analyzed in contrast to other evidence to prove the innocence or conviction to…

continuing on until all of present and future life cease to exist. It’s just the nature of living beings. There will always be more to know and learn and we will always want to know and learn more than that. Human beings continually search for the unknown. That idea shows up throughout the books The Odyssey by Homer, and 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke. The problem is that curiosity killed the cat. The more we know, the more danger that emerges. One day our continuous snooping and…

within the experiment. Procedure 1. Molar Concentration of a Weak Acid Solution • Obtain an unknown acid solution (90 mL) and three 250 mL beakers. Make sure the beakers are clean. • Acquire 0.1 M of NaOH solution for this experiment and make sure to determine the specific molar concentration of sodium hydroxide utilized. • Obtain a buret and make sure to rinse it with tap water, deionized…

This is obvious to the reader since his tone of voice contains a euphoric tone. Frankenstein becomes obsessed with the old science to confront the unknowns of the world, which for him is creating life. When he states “command the thunders of heaven, mimic the earthquake,” Frankenstein is already entertaining the possibility of exploring the unknown and understands that it is only possible through the understanding of both the old and new institutions. The Grandeur that Frankenstein is portrayed…

Introduction Background This experiment pertained to identifying an unknown bacterium. This bacterium was retrieved from a member of our group’s hand. Bacteria are prokaryotic, but like all other living organism there are many genus and species. Through experimentation these unknowns can be found can be brought to light. Bacteria can be classified either gram-positive or gram-negative. These groups differ by the composition of their cell walls. In particular, the difference in the composition…

In order to safely dispose of a solution with a pH of 12, the solution needs to be diluted with an acid to neutralize the basic solution. The pH range should be between 5 to 8 to be ready for disposal. 2. A graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, and beaker were used to measure a 60-mL volume. Which of these devices seems to be the most accurate for measuring a 60-mL volume? Be sure to explain what the term ‘accurate’ means. How did you determine this during lab? State some reasons why this…

find out more about Kentaro by sniffing him. Kentaro’s game with Hachiko where the dog smells Kentaro all over in search of a snack shows that animals have curiosity of the unknown. Chimps have curiosity for the unknown, too. David Greybeard, a chimp that gave Jane Goodall’s most exciting discoveries, showed curiosity of the unknown. He wandered into Goodall’s tent, and snatched a bunch of bananas that were set out for Goodall’s supper. Afterward, he usually went up to Goodall and felt her all…
