Venom

The stinging cells are used primarily for catching prey and protection. When another creature comes into contact with the tentacles containing the stinging cells, depending on the size of the creature, it will either become paralyzed from the venom from the string or be scared away by the pain of the sting. So the cnidarian in question either acquired a meal or avoided danger. Yes, because jellyfish are a cnidarian and all cnidarians are capable of…

stared to dose off. On one occasion I told him I was going to submit a story to a magazine. His face had a new look of displeasure. His real thought on my writing streamed out viciously. “You’re not ready and they will never publish you.” He caught the venom and exited the conversation. I put on my best poker face only wanting to see the true him escape into the real world. I didn’t want the generic lawyer critique, I needed to hear what the writer in him…

The second sentence of the novel immediately introduces a ghostly element to the novel, describing how [house] 124 was “full of a baby’s venom”. The juxtaposing choice of language snaps bitterly and causes immediate discomfort within the reader, who does not expect a baby – the quintessence of innocence and purity - to be responsible for such tyranny. The ghost is also described as being…

table that had a jellyfish-like robot with 10 arms carrying different knives and types of equipment. The doctor gestured me to lay on the table and I did what I was told. The doctor walked over, holding the venomous serpent by the head, pushing its venom into my skin to travel through my veins. “T-the anesthesia should work after a few minutes, but t-tell me why you broke the law of getting pregnant.” The doctor stuttered while setting up his robot, sweat dripping down his…

couples or two women. The cultural purpose of the Tarantella dance is to cure the bite of a tarantula. There are three possible origins of the Tarantella dance. But the main idea of all the origins was to make bitten victim dance, to sweat out all the venom of the tarantula. Up to this day, the Tarantella dance is stilled dance, not to cure a tarantula bite, but to keep the tradition…

What politicians say matter a lot. Jean-Paul Sartre has rightly said, "Words are loaded pistols." A case in point are the increased hate crimes in the United Kingdom and the United States now and in Nepal in the wake of the Madhesh Movement. Xenophobic and Europhobic words of British leaders inspired the nearly 50 percent rise in hate crimes in Britain. Several British leaders campaigned for Britain 's exit -- Brexit -- from the European Union deploying bigotry, xenophobia and Europhobia --…

When talking about the movie Frankenstein, it’s commonly accepted and known that the monster is referred to as Frankenstein. Which sparks an interesting question, which is the real monster in the story? Is it Victor Frankenstein, the creator? Or is it the monster? In this paper I would like to introduce a third option. Through a thorough analysis of the story, I am going to explicate how the monster is a vivid reflection of its creator, Victor Frankenstein. In this paper, I will be citing…

for their crops. For example, if the soil is too acidic, farmers would mix in calcium oxide, a base, to make the soil habitable for their plants. Neutralization reactions can also be used to treat insect stings. When insects sting a person, their venom is either acidic or basic, and a weak acid or base, depending on the sting, can be used to treat it. For example, wasp stings are basic, therefore they can be treated with a weak acid, such as vinegar. The acid reacts with the base, and the…

mentions raping women in this song as well as lyrics like: “The only motherfucking Wolf here, I spit venom” or “Bite her in her fucking neck, bite her in her fucking neck/ Bottom of the fucking lake, bottom of the fucking lake/ Call my gang of wolves and bats, call my gang of wolves and bats/ It's a full moon tonight and these hoes ain't acting right”. Tyler raps about being a wolf, which spits venom, which is a wolf combined with a vampire. This combination almost perfectly fits the…

What is Justice ? You may think you know, but Justice has many meanings in society. Everyone can have their own personal definition or meanings to justice. In my opinion, justice is when there is equal fairness in a situation in which there wasn’t before. Another way I look at justice is avenging yourself or avenging someone when you felt someone has been doing wrong towards you or someone else. In the play “Hamlet” by Shakespeare and the story “Killings” by Andre Dubus, we will be looking at…
