Fahrenheit - Fahrenheit temperature scale
Fahrenheit (symbol °F) is a temperature scale originally proposed in 1724 by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), after whom the scale is named.
This original scale has been subjected to some revisions and adjustments reaching the current Fahrenheit temperature scale on which 32 °F is for the freezing point of water and 212 °F is for the boiling point (at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure). The normal body temperature has been considered in developing the scale that required an adjustment of normal human body to 98.6 °F.
Fahrenheit temperature scale was common in English-speaking countries until the 1970s. However, most English-speaking countries have officially adopted

  • Overview Of The Hot Zone By Richard Preston

    820 Words  | 4 Pages

    The most thought-provoking book I read this summer was The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. Not only is this book fast paced keeping you with the urge to read but it also focuses on real events leaving the reader to wonder why it is said that history repeats itself. I chose this book to focus on because of the close connection the story seemed to hold to recent events in history. The Ebola outbreak was the center of the media’s attention recently because of all the harm it caused in Africa and the fact that a virus could be so destructive, managing a large scale outbreak, is a massive threat to life as we know it. My reason for taking AP World History was really quite simple.

    Food is used symbolically all throughout the book, with the same purpose which is to describe characters and setting. In the last quote, Marie was described alongside her father, to have been tired through the symbolic use of food, even though the quote didn’t directly state it. Another example of food being used as a symbol is seen when Werner finds Marie in the attic. In this scene Marie and Werner were opening a can of peaches with a hurry that demonstrates the extent of their hunger. Although their intention is to actually eat the food, which contradicts the main point, it’s what they do at the end which demonstrates how food is used symbolically.
