Something I learned about in Herbology 301 is healing. Healing is an important part of our life, which is why i wanted to write about it. Healing spells are needed in everyday life, and if we were to ask someone how many healing spells they 've used in their lifetime, the number would probably be too high to remember. I also learned that mental illnesses are not one-spell-cure-all diseases, which is very helpful to know.
On page 61 of Maus, Spriegelman used an interesting type of frame in order to show a picture of what another picture was referring to. On the left side of the row, there are two boxes with a character explaining that two days previous, Nazi 's had executed 600 Jews where Art was about to be sent to. These two boxes were encompassed by a non framed image showing mice being executed in a gruesome manner. This unbounded row allows for the reader to both witness the mouse who is speaking of the massacre in a close up and the imagery of how the killing unfolded. In addition to utility of the absence of the frame, the picture feels rugged and unable to be contained.

It was hard to identify the infectious agent because SARS presented as flu-like symptoms with a rapid onset and is similar to the common flu (CBC, 2013).

2a. If sunlight were to disappear almost completely, it would leave lasting effects on many organisms such as an earthworm, a shark, a maple tree, a saguaro cactus, or a teenager. While looking at an earth worm, the short term effects would be beginning to see more of the species during the day. Earthworms are nocturnal, so they live beneath the surface when it is daylight and come out once the sun goes down. Because of this in the long run, the earthworm species would eventually become overpopulated; they would be above the surface more, so they would have more time to reproduce.
1) Plants have evolved many ways in which they can survive well on land. a) Identify three changes that had to occur for plants to move from a life mostly in water to a life on land. Three changes that had to occur for the plants to move from aquatic to terrestrial life are the following: Body support: In water, the plants are buoyant and the effect of gravity on them is minimal.
