    Your 80 year-old great aunt, Persis, was placing a canning jar on the top shelf of her pantry when she stepped awkwardly off the stool and twisted her leg at the hip. She felt a sharp pain in her hip and, after collapsing to the floor, found she could no longer stand. She was taken to the emergency room where an X ray showed that the neck of her femur was fractured. More detailed X ray images revealed reduced bone mass in the head and neck regions of the injured femur, in the ends of other long bones of the body and in the vertebrae. Surgery was necessary to repair the fractured femur and a biopsy of the bone tissue indicated that the composition of the osteoid was normal. Healing of the fractured femur is proceeding slowly.…

    If you are at the age of eight or older you are more prone to hip deformities. This could have led to surgeries and a longer recovery time. Mr. Dodrill was lucky enough to have been diagnosed early. He did not have to undergo any surgeries and the recovery was a lot easier for younger children. For they are still young and have a greater potential of growing a new and healthy bone. During the 2 years of traction his body replaced the dead bone with a new bone. However, the new bone is a woven bone (a softer bone) that is very weak and delicate. The longest process is reossification (when the bone hardens) and needed time to develop and become stronger. During the middle of this process he was then transferred to the brace. Once reossification is complete the femur (thigh bone) has fully healed.…

    The question of the chapter tackles the question of why the Old Deal failed. Edsforth breaks his answer up into three different sections, but the main thesis is that Hoover's administrative policy and movements towards recovery were the reason for failure. The author asserts that this is largely because, "Hoover recovery program failed because it rewarded conservative financial business making". There was an increase in lending to banks in the hopes that this would generate investment which would in turn lead to employment and spending. However, "fear of failure-not risk taking for profit-dominated individual and institutional decisions". The second issue that Edsforth describes is how Hoover failed to create jobs or relief for those that were suffering. The theme of the chapter is the inadequacy and mismanagement of Hoover's administration…

    I think Loewen chose the four quotes to get the reader to think about how important it is to have an understanding of the truth about our real history. Not the stories that are played out in history textbooks, but the real facts about American history. These quotes help set the stage for Lowen’s thesis by encouraging the reader to start to think about if what they were taught in school was really how it all happened. Loewen’s thesis is that history textbooks either misguide readers in the facts of American history or leave some of them out all together. In either case it creates a false sense of greatness for the story of the Pilgrims and the founding of America. I think Loewen’s thesis is the ninth paragraph after he asks the question “What has gone wrong”(para 8).…
