    individuals drink at least 64oz of water per day (Schols, De Groot, Van Der Cammen, & Olde Rikkert, 2009). This is due to the fact that as a person ages the amount of water in their body decreases due to decrease in kidney function and possible side effects of medications that may contain diuretics (Schols, De Groot, Van Der Cammen, & Olde Rikkert, 2009). Inadequate water intake is often the cause of dehydration, but there can be many other causes as well including side effects of prescription medication like diuretics or chronic illnesses such as diabetes (Gaspar, 2011). Aging itself makes people less aware of thirst and also gradually lowers the body’s ability to regulate its fluid balance (Gaspar, 2011). If it is hot or the elderly individual has been more active, they may need additional water to replace fluids lost. Elderly people often experience a waning in thirst sensation as they age which makes causes them to not feel thirsty and discourages them from hydrating as often as they should (Schols, De Groot, Van Der Cammen, & Olde Rikkert, 2009). Individuals should include water in their diet as much as possible because it great at hydrating the body and does not contain calories or unhealthy ingredients like fruit juice or soda. Dehydration is so dangerous because many of the symptoms of dehydration (confusion, dizziness, and increased heart rate) can be mistaken for some common characteristics of elderly people and so are often discounted and disregarded (Schols, De…

    done? I have given up, all is hopeless. I will die either from thirst or mutiny, whichever comes first. Captain’s log: July 23, 1867. Out of curiosity, I emerged from my cabin below deck only to find four of my crew members remained. Dave was missing. I assumed he was killed in the fight yesterday and thrown overboard due to a large dark stain on the deck. No one has said a word about the fight. We were all just sitting around wishing for something or anything to happen. It made me feel good…

    At first his thirst for revenge makes him sound like a rabid animal who will do anything to kill. When Marcellus and Horatio first hear and see the ghost they tell Hamlet it’s all a fake and not to listen. That it could be some form of Satan. Hamlet explains that “Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life in a pins fee.” (Act 1 Scene 4 70-71) This makes me seem that Hamlet does not value his life, but he takes into consideration in figuring out more about the ghost before killing…

    Napoleon does not seem to be satisfied with what he has. Instead, he secures his authoritative figure and the pigs’ position so that the pigs are placed at a more superior level to the others. For example, his decision of building a schoolroom exclusively for educating the pigs, not only differentiates the pigs from the labouring classes, but more importantly, it is a clear illustration of Napoleon’s thirst for power due to his intention to indoctrinate the young pigs on how ideal a leader he…
