    Duckweed Hypothesis

    This experiment will evaluate duckweed and its ability to remove nutrients and toxins from water sources. Thus, duckweed will kill the organisms that require similar nutrients, yet aid the organisms that would otherwise die to toxins. Specifically, if one was to place Elodea plants in a tank with duckweed, then the Elodea will die due to the lack of nutrients from the duckweed having used the nutrients for its own benefits. Furthermore, if one were to place an organism such as Daphnia in a tank with Duckweed, then the duckweed would remove any toxins present in the water and provide a food source to the organism, thus sustaining the life of that organism.…

    In response to this article I would have to say that it is quite an unprepared protestor unknowing of his own stupidity. He calls out the scientists fighting the overgrowth of this knotweed saying this and that, with reasonable arguments in my opinion, but then concludes with an overwhelmingly lacking solution of his own. John Stahl states, "I'm not sure how good knotweed will be as a paper source but it doesn't matter." Let's review John's solution . John's solution was to use knotweed as a paper source, yet he does not even know if it is in any sense an effective paper-producing resource other than the idea that it holds plenty of cellulose. Instead he uses examples of other plants that are useful in paper production, which have nothing to do with knot weed. He actually strays off topic a couple of times. Once with a discussion of mosquitoes and another with questions of God. And though I can tell his motives are honest with a great deal of emotional relevance, I do not see much as to logic or preparation into the essay.…

    There are a multitude of ways in which a person can be enslaved. Sometimes, the captivity comes from a physical source, like a prison. Other times, it comes from within one’s own mind. Confinement can come, too, from other people, especially loved ones. Barbara Kingsolver’s novel The Poisonwood Bible explores these types of captivity in conjunction with themes of love and betrayal.…

    History is everything but a great man’s biography. It’s what causes great men to rise, and sacrifice their lives for others. It’s what causes millions of deaths. In 1933, a genocide by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany killed six million Jewish people. This was one of the deadliest genocides in the world. Its horrifying stories are still told today through the books like The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Yellow Star, and much more. Similarly, Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli is another novel that keeps history alive to make sure the children of today understand their ancestors and cruelties of the past.…

    I predict that Charlotte Grimké and her daughter Hetty Handful Grimké, will achieve freedom from being enslaved to the Grimkés, a white aristocratic family. It is likely that the two African-American slaves, Charlotte and Handful, will adorn freedom because they are determined. As a means to earn money, Charlotte urges Sarah’s mother, missus, to allow her to be hired out to other white people, which will allow her to obtain a portion of the revenue by applying her sewing skills. However, missus is reluctant to allow Charlotte to work for other employers due to her irrational fear of Charlotte working harder for them, which in turn causes Charlotte to clandestinely and illegally hire herself out. Charlotte is deceitful, dishonest, and tenacious due to her thirst for freedom. She is willing to deceive her white owner, which may…

    Comedy is a form of cognitive reappraisal, which Drew Hayden Taylor effectively integrates throughout Motorcycles and Sweetgrass to address tragic issues. Personally, I agree with Thomas King, that bombarding the reader with tragedy only results in their lack of interest. I believe that Taylor masters the use of humour to introduce sinister issues; he uses humour as a lubricating tool to ease the tension of the plot and maintain the readers engagement. Particularly, in chapter fourteen, I was intrigued by the way that Taylor glazes over the concept of the fallibility of humanity through Virgil's visit with Wayne. Due to their lack of knowledge, Virgil, and sadly, the entire population of Otter Lake, fall victim of humanity’s tendency to judge…
