I believe Margaret Drabble’s statement, “Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts,” to be quite true. Throughout history, people of all ages have wanted to be accepted and belong to a group rather than look at the facts and measure what is true and false. It is very evident in our society today that not only do we want to be accepted and belong, but we also are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter what the consequences turn out to be. I agree with Drabble’s statement and believe that it is true all around the world. If you were to step outside our society and look back at it objectively, I can assure you that you would see evidence of this.…

The Psychrolutes marcidus also known as the blobfish lives in the deep waters of Australia and Tasmania, as well as some of the waters of New Zealand. The blobfish also survives in the Sunlit Ocean Zone which gets light underwater. The temperature in this zone ranges from -3 to 40 degrees celsius. This type of fish can be found in the waters as deep as 100 meters to 2800 meters. The pressure is 60 to 120 times greater than at sea level. The blobfish's skin is mostly a gelatinous mass with a density less than water. This is one of their many important adaptations. Their flesh allows the fish to float above the seafloor without using most of their energy while swimming. Due to its low density flesh, the blobfish's shape and appearance is different…

In my children's book, there were several characters but the main protagonist was Froggy. Froggy acted like an actual child who is afraid on their first day of school. A child who is afraid that the teacher won't like him or her or that he or she won't have any friends. The book is fictional which has no realistic events but only believable things that can occur on the first day of school. Such as: not being prepared, being nervous, and embarrassed in making a fool out of yourself. Froggy has amazing parents and friends who are great characters, but the best character is Froggy. The author created him as a funny character filled with imagination and joy, he is filled with ideas and excitement.…
For this assignment, the blog I choose was Thefbomb. I choose this website because I find it interesting how people my age, current or rising college students, are approaching feminisms and becoming aware of what is happening. Thefbomb is true to their word of being “a blog/community created by and for teen and college-aged women and men who care about their rights and want to be heard.” It is true to its word because of the way the page is set up, the main page has recent news/articles, and then there are tabs set up that categorize it all into different sections. But it’s not just that but the page also allows for others to contribute to the page. There is even a creative page to poems and personal stories.…
Should it be a right of every citizen to bear arms? The public, politicians, and many organizations have pursued this question, which in return has transformed this issue into a widespread topic. The various shootings across the United States have led me to the debate of the government controlling firearms. In the beginning of our country’s creation, the Founding Fathers constructed the Constitution to define the United States’ government. Inside the Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, which was signed in 1791. This includes the Second Amendment stating, "…a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Throughout the years, the debate on firearm control has increased after many citizens have questioned the safety of the public. It is up to the liberal lawmakers and the citizens to acknowledge firearm rights and recognize the laws constitutionally. Many wonder which is constitutional on the opinion of firearm control.…
In most people’s eyes, the word sick is the meaning of an individual’s health being subpar. My definition of sick is true definition and much more. I have several different meanings of the word.
