Turn-On

The turn out rate for 18 year old's may not be very high over all, but I personally know many 18 year old's who are very interested in voicing their opinion on the presidential election. People didn't like the idea of lowering the voting age to 18 either, but…

Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is a disturbing and a complex novel that depicts the horrific transformation of a man into a disgusting, oversized dung beetle or “a monstrous vermin.” This “transformation” is the reality of the world that the character lives in, but no one in that world is able to see it. Kafka demonstrates this reality using his extraordinary, one of a kind writing style which portrays everything illogical as logical, unreasonable as reasonable, and incomprehensible as…

In the book Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer, the Mt. Everest disaster is told from the personal account of Jon Krakauer. There are many causes and effects that led to the Mt. Everest disaster. Many of the causes could have been prevented had they been more prepared for a disaster to happen. One major cause of the disaster is storm it limited visibility so that people could not see their way back to camp. Another cause was that the guides assigned to help the inexperienced climb the mountain let…

since our current sources of energy are dirty and finite. Current non-renewable power sources include coal power, natural gas power, and other fossil fuels. These fuel sources create heat, which boils water and makes steam. This steam turns a turbine, which turns a generator, which makes electricity. The advantage to using these sources is that they are inexpensive. The disadvantage is that they are dirty sources of power. They all pollute in one way or another. The fossil fuels are not…

great for utilization in clinics and research about the development of the human body. This work consists of identifying how undifferentiated stem cells become the differentiated cells that create the organs and tissues. Scientists turn genes on and off in order to turn these undifferentiated cells into specific cell types. Cancer and birth defects are some serious medical conditions that can happen during cell…

love that was shown to Frankenstein and the way he turns out concerns me. It makes me think that I might turn out rotten for the abundance of love I receive. Frankenstein’s mom gives him so much love and care. We are introduced to this when she claims “my children she said my firmest hopes of future happiness were placed on the prospect of your union” (Shelley 40). If I was to receive this amount of love from someone, I wouldn’t expect that I would turn out as a self absorbed person who forgets…

Prokaryotes, specifically bacteria, have feedback regulatory mechanisms like eukaryotes do to make tryptophan. Tryptophan is one of the 20 amino acids which we all need. If there is a lot of tryptophan made, then you turn off the enzymes that are involved in tryptophan synthesis by binding and causing a change in shape of the enzyme (negative feedback). In addition, repressors are proteins that bind to the operator and prevents expression of the gene. However, the repressor is unable to bind to…

means they are getting to be a part of the community and becoming more mature. Even the land is the same--flat. In the book, Jonas is part of this community where everybody is the same, everything is the same (pg. 104-106).

One day, Jonas realizes that sameness is not right, so he makes a plan with the Giver, who…

When I fall, I skid on my back for a moment and sink into the warm water. I bob calmly up and down while I wait for the boat to turn around and come get me. I just hoist myself back up using the weathered, yellow handles and the boat starts up. Just like that, I’m going again. Falling down while water skiing is a much worse punishment. I am going strong, then out of nowhere the…
