Physiology of the Circulatory System Activity 1) When a person goes from a prone position to standing up‚ all of the blood rushes from to the feet due to gravity. This causes reduced blood flow back to the heart‚ which in turn causes reduced cardiac output. The baroreceptors help to increase blood pressure and heart rate as seen through the baroreceptor reflex test‚ with a resting systolic heart rate of 54bpm to a baroreceptor reflex heart rate of 70bpm‚ an increase of 16bpm. 2) Having high blood

I read your response about George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”. It’s very interesting how you tried to figure out what the author was imagining. I agree your response in that the story is “too close to recent historical events without being close enough”. I agree because he was only 14 when the Russian Revolution happened since he was born in 1903. Also‚ I don’t think he had much information about the Revolution to write a book about it. I wouldn’t if he was at Russia when he was 14 but it’s most likely

In 1984‚ Orwell asserts that knowledge of the truth grants power and thus must be both feared and valued. Whilst knowledge can be used to seize dominance over a population‚ which Orwell warns against‚ it can also be used to attain control over oneself; personal freedom. The threats to acquiring true knowledge‚ whether it be the control of information by the corrupt‚ the curtailment of independent thought‚ or apathy‚ must be fought against to avoid the surrender of liberty. Through the exploration

Reflection on “Shooting an Elephant” “I was hated by… people” and “the only time…been important enough” are words that jump out at me revealing Orwell’s low self-esteem and low self-worth. His essay describes the events that turn his luck enabling him to feel a pseudo-sense of control and authority over the Burmese. Opportunity presents itself in the form of an elephant running amok‚ leaving a trail of destruction and death behind. Unfortunately he gives in to pressure exerted by the locals and does

3: In Paragraph 4‚ Orwell uses a simile to compare "phrases tacked together" to "sections of a prefabricated henhouse". That shows how prose consists of words that aren’t necessarily chosen for their meaning‚ but instead just because it’s easy. In Paragraph 12‚ Orwell uses a similie to compare someone "choking" to "tea leaves blocking a sink"‚ which shows how the author knows what he wants to say‚ but sometimes he has too many "stale phrases" in his head. In paragraph 15‚ Orwell uses a similie to

The search for one’s identity and one’s reason for existence is almost inevitable in the course of a human life. In George Orwell’s 1984‚ however‚ this is not the status quo. Under a dystopian totalitarian government referred to by the name of its figurehead‚ “Big Brother”‚ the citizens of Oceania are oppressed‚ stripped of their individuality‚ and exist solely to serve the state even‚ or rather especially‚ if it requires betraying one’s family‚ friends‚ or neighbors. Winston Smith‚ the story’s protagonist

Animal Farm‚ written by George Orwell in 1945‚ is an allegorical novel which is also a reflection of Joseph Stalin’s rule during the Russian Revolution.

Through exploring the speeches made by Squealer‚ the power of propaganda is revealed as he manipulates the thoughts of the animals to the advantage of the pigs. First of

when not afraid of what will happen. Orwell claims they were a “ragbag of anecdotes” and he unconsciously wrote a “hymn to a liberty”(1). Another reason is that Twain was a social critic and his deteriorating career became questionable and unclear. A third reason was that he had tended to show weakness in his character. His autobiography was tweaked and changed because he was a believer with siding with the stronger side whenever possible. Another reason Orwell disapproved was because his writing

sympathy towards the elephant and a slightly more complex feeling towards the author who‚ although he kills the elephant‚ suffers inwardly during the process and appears to be affected by the Burman crowd’s greed to strip the carcass. In the society Orwell lived in‚ hunting was common amongst gentlemen and is less challenged morally. This is revealed by “one never does…” The use of this inclusive pronoun brings the reader to a circle of experienced hunters and indicates Orwell’s assumption of the reader’s

courage are some of the most important things to have while going through conflict. Bravery can help you through a conflict tremendously. Just like it did for Sophie Scholl did. Sophie Scholl was a girl growing up in Hitler Youth. But she didn’t agree with what the NAZI’s did. This is so unusual because people‚ (especially kids) believe what people tell them. So she rebelled. She cut her hair short and did other things to rebel and protest NAZISM. She was
