Blake's Raintrees Magical journey

Blake starts in a work camp and ends up in an university in this magical

journey called “Secret under my skin” by Janet McNaughton. The three

minor characters who prove to be vital to Blake are : Lem, Marrella, and

Erica.

Lem is so important to Blake because he gives her an identity. He builds a

scanner to read the chip in her arm to figure out her true identity. The chip

tells her that her name is Blake Raintree and that she is 16 years old. “Blake

Raintree. My name.” (138)

One of the most important characters to Blake Raintree is Marrella Splenders.

Marrella is so important to Blake Raintree because she gives her a defence

against people being mean to her. She does this by being very mean and

always rude to her and putting her down. But by doing this it gave Blake a

defence to her. (You are a very stupid girl. I'm looking for a plant. If I bring

back a rock, they will think i'm as stupid as you.'

The most important character to Blake raintree is Erica. She is the most

important because she was Blake's mother figure. If Erica was not there to be

the mother figure then Blake would grow up without one and she would be

insecure because she would not of had motherly love. “Erica squeezes my

shoulder. “ i think i understand.” I appreciate her kindness ,”(71)

These are the three most important minor characters . All of these characters

proved vital to Blake by forming her personality and character into a strong

good person.

    Fibonacci was one of the most talented mathematicians in the Middle Ages. Few people realize that it was Fibonacci that gave us our decimal point when during fractions or other Math problems. When he Fibonacci was studying mathematics, he used the Hindu-Arabic symbols instead of Roman symbols which didn’t have zeros and lacked place value. Fibonacci also created the Roman numeral system. It's no wonder that such a system caught on so quickly with merchants and other people in professions where day-to-day use of mathematics was essential. With the new system, people could compute sums and differences more quickly, giving them a competitive edge. Fibonacci realized the advantages of this new system, as did most who were exposed to it, so when he returned to Pisa, he wrote a book about it that he finished in 1202. Titled Liber abbaci, meaning "Book of Calculating," the work dealt with the methods of arithmetic in the decimal system (now taught to all elementary school children) and it eventually persuaded European mathematicians to drop the old way in favor of the new. Another famous problem Fibonacci created was Rabbits and and Bees. How fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances. Suppose a newly born pair of rabbits, one male and one female are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at an end of its second month a female can reproduce a second pair of rabbits. The rabbit problem is obviously very contrived, but the Fibonacci sequence does occur in real populations. Honeybees provide an example. In a colony of honeybees there is one special female called the queen. The other females are worker bees who, unlike the queen bee, produce no eggs. The male bees do no work and are called drone bees.…
