    A Separate Peace Literary Analysis

    One of the most asked questions for A Separate Peace is: who exactly is the protagonist and antagonist? Most would agree that Gene is the protagonist, however is it Gene or Phineas that is the enemy? I believe that the real ‘bad guy’ in this book is Gene. He envied Phineas from the very beginning but didn’t admit it until a little later on. Whether it was getting away from trouble, having a natural athletic ability, or simply being modest and humble about things, Phineas seemed to have been better at almost everything.…

    Marie Curie Accomplishments

    Her accomplishments are seemingly never-ending. After earning her master’s degree in science and physics in only three years, Marie Curie went to achieve bigger and better things – things that most people can only dream of accomplishing. Marie was actually paid by the Society for the Encouragement of National Industry to investigate the magnetic properties of different steels. It was not too long before Marie started to notice unusual activity from uranium, which she would eventually discover to be “radiation.” After years of sleepless nights spent working in the lab, Marie, with the help of her husband, discovered that thorium and uranium gave off radioactive waves. Pierre Curie later proved that these waves could damage flesh, but could also be a way to treat cancer and other ailments. Marie, as well as her husband, went on to discover two new elements recently unknown to man, those being polonium and radium. Marie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for her scientific achievements, but the awards did not stop there. She later became the first person ever to win a second Nobel Prize. Although Marie Curie’s life was brought to an end by overexposure to radiation, she will forever be remembered as a driven and dedicated individual, who would not let anything get in the way of her one true passion –…

    Lise Meitner: Mother Of The Atomic Bomb

    Lise Meitner - One of the most majorly underlooked physicists due to her gender and all of her work being credited to a man, her partner. Lise Meitner discovered fission, the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts in 1945. Although she had nothing to do with the actual creation of the actual atomic bomb, Lise Meitner was known as the, "Mother of the Atomic Bomb," due to her being the first to realize that uranium could undergo a runaway chain reaction that could be used as a bomb. She refused to work on the Manhattan project. During her life she worked on the physics of radioactive substances while heading a section of Berlin's Kaiser for 30 years. This led to the clarification of nuclear physics, which was all done…
