Gregor Mendel: A Great Scientist Gregor Mendel was a scientist, born in 1822. He lived as a monk for a long time, most of his life.

“A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor has been one of the most interesting stories I have ever come across. The story revolves around a family who decide to go on a vacation to Florida, toting along their grandmother. Along the way, the family encounters ‘The Misfit,’ a runaway criminal. O’Connor writes the characters of the grandmother and The Misfit, who at first glance seem so different from each other, yet throughout the short story, share underlying similarities. The…

Symbolism and Morality in “The Masque of the Red Death” Edgar Allan Poe likes to keep his readers guessing. Poe writes in analogy, in questions. There is nothing immediately obvious about Poe’s short stories. Readers must read through the lines, literally and figuratively, to define his work. “The Masque of the Red Death” is no different. “‘The Masque of the Red Death’ suggests that we might stay alert to Poe’s tendency to be ambivalent about, to disguise, and to vary his treatment not only of…

At the end of the day, as the tropical sunset fills the vibrant sky hues of magenta, scarlet, purple, violet, and dark orange, I pat my sister Courtney on her sunburned shoulder and say, “You know, it’s okay that you were too scared to jump off the waterfall today. Our fears are what make us…

Group 1 Elements Referring to the table created from observing the characteristics of the three elements from group 1, Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium, we can see that they all share the appearance of being lustrous and metallic, with a silvery-white presentation, and it is also known that they are all alkali metals.
