The plot of Honey Spot is about the characters strong friendship and relationships as well as the obstacles that come to face them, the main obstacle being disagreements. Throughout the play there were many disagreements such as Peggy and Tim which were fighting over the choreography for Peggy’s performance to gain a scholarship, as well as a disagreement all readers would have noticed, the disagreement between William and the ranger. Although disagreements in reality can be bad, this play shows that some disagreements can make you think even deeper than you normally would when reading a book. During the disagreement between William and ranger it has made me think more about the environment especially when William say’s “My people lived here
I was born exactly ninety-one years to the day that Dr. Alice Stewart was. Although this may seem to be a relatively insignificant coincidence, I assure you it 's not. My role model, Dr. Stewart discovered how x-rays were linked to leukemia and other cancers in people exposed, leading to many current methods of treatments. Now if I told you my life ambition was to research to find better treatment methods and even a cure for cancer, a coincidence would seem more like fate. Often at family get-togethers, my mother recalls my numerous makeshift experiments she survived through my childhood. From putting tin foil in a microwave, to catching frogs and observing speech patterns, to more elaborate experiments such as finding out how protein breaks
I was unsure of my overall writing skills upon entering this course, but with each individual skill that was taught to us, I was able to connect all necessary components for success. In my previous semester in college I took several general education courses that had lengthy writing requirements and I was able to get these assignments done but not without many struggles and sub-par final products. By actively participating in class and completing all of the assigned work, this course has laid the foundation for me to continue to improve my writing skills.
The lab that I chose to do was the “McGraw Hill Higher Education: Natural Selection - Virtual Lab.” I chose this lab because it was the one that most interested me, as I liked the format of the virtual lab. In this lab, I was able to manipulate both the environment and the allele frequency in order to record and investigate the generational breeding patterns of a group of organisms. The lab starts with me being able to choose from four different environments that I want to put my organisms in. I also get to choose one of the four different allele frequencies that are allowed. I can mix and match the environment and frequencies however I want to. After picking an environment and a frequency, I then am able to move one generation forward. When I move a generation forward, the allele frequency will change. The reason for this is because the organisms with the least helpful phenotypes will be eaten by predators while the organisms with the better phenotypes will live on to breed, thus shifting the gene pool to go in a certain direction. I am able to move a total of 5 generations forward and each and every time I move the allele frequency will change to favor the superior phenotype, thus representing the

During the course of English 102, I took this year of the spring semester. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were impossible. I have not only grown as a writer and a student but as an individual as well. I feel that through my experience of this English course, I have achieved knowledge and self-confidence to step out into the real world. In putting together my portfolio, I could definitely see that I have made an incredible progress from the foundation of this class. My practice of grammar, words and the general structure of my papers has improved massively. Reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, as well as things I have learned in my own writing process is a big accomplishment.
There I am sitting on my couch with a laptop on my lap. I have a paper due tomorrow and I have no idea what to write about. I put my fingers to the keyboard keys and start to type out the first sentence.
Most of the research came from websites that we looked up online such as www.smithsonian.com and www.history.com. However, even though we did have a rather smooth research, we encountered some bumpy milestones. At the beginning of the project all three of us took on jobs that we were quite knowledgeable of; soon after, our typer of the process paper had writer’s block and had to switch with the
Last fall semester was my first semester in college. I took English 111 with the hope of gaining some initial experience with college writing. I am an international student, so it was a struggle at the beginning to understand and meet the expectations of my professor, as well as to catch up with the pace of my peers. However, looking back to what I learnt in English 111, I think the difficulties did not prevent be from having an amazing experience. I was able to learn how to analyze a text, make an argument and support my argument. I had the chance to practice searching for sources and evaluating them. I also participated in several small-group workshops, when I could give and receive feedbacks from other students for my projects. Overall,
Life is filled with challenges and conflict. However only a few can overcome and escape the confinements of their problems, others remain left behind to struggle. Sue Monk Kidd displays this with the imprisonment that Lily deals with throughout the book. While Lily does finds liberation at the end, she first had to break free from the imprisonments of her secrets, T-Ray, and the torment from killing her mother.
Going into this assignment, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I read the first chapter, which gave a lot of information about frogs, and I decided that I was going to like this book. I was previously a biochemistry major, and I have always loved science. The information is presented in a way that is readable, not like a textbook, and I think we all wonder at some point what the future holds for humans if we continue the way we are. At about chapter five, I really hit a wall. Kolbert talks about this scientist Zalasiewicz who says that “he imagines the rats of the future evolving...living in caves, shaping rocks as primitive tools, and wearing the skins of other mammals they have eaten and killed” (p 106). I’m sorry, but for me, I can’t take this guy seriously, and I don’t think he has a place in this book that is supposed to
One of the classes I was most excited for this school year was AP Physics. I had not taken a physics class since my freshman year, and I was extremely excited to begin doing physics at a higher level knowing that I had completed calculus. On the first day of class my excitement was proven warranted. Started the class, with an exciting competition to see what we had retained from our previous physics classes. The challenge was to roll a small metal ball off of a table and through a hole that is exactly the same size as the ball, but you only had one try. This challenge was both exciting and rewarding. The class progressed quickly, it started moving at an extremely fast rate, and seemed to be getting only faster. When the first test came I
Being satisfied with accomplishments only sets people at a certain level of grit for a lifetime. People can never grow more round as a student, athlete, or character without taking shots in life. As a student, I was always great at academic level classes by earning and receiving high grades. Until I was recommended for Dual Enrollment United States history, I had never understood how much extra work I had to put in to be successful and grow in that college level class. I had a test coming up on The American Revolution, I studied three hours to earn my first 100% on a college test. halfway through the year, we were assigned a research paper in the class. I chose the unit I had the most difficulty with because I wanted to have a greater
As I was writing my literacy narrative, I encountered three main problems. The first problem I encountered was properly using grammar and punctuation. Another problem I had was identifying the correct way to use a comma, as well as, making sure I did not have comma splices in my writing. I also had difficulty staying with one story line. I would write about several different topics instead of focusing on one topic. Lastly, knowing where to place my thesis created a challenge for me. In the past, my thesis would sound good, but I had a difficult time knowing where to properly place it.
The purpose of this lab based on the Drosophila melanogaster (the common fruit fly) reactions. Since the fly has been studied and observed for many years, and known for its unique chemotactic attractions to different stimuli, it was an ideal organism for the study being conducted. In the experiment the purpose was to be able to figure out whether the flies would be more attracted to sugar or bacteria. The bacteria, which is found in flies’ natural food source rotting fruit, was represented by the yeast, and the sugar was represented by the maple syrup. The purpose was to be able to identify which substances the flies were attracted to the most
