Jessica Arroyo English 116 11 April 2012 Life is hard. There are two things we need to succeed in life. We need to understand that nature is a key player in life‚ and that it has a greater power over us than we do it. We cannot control nature‚ nor can we impact what it has in store for us. If nature‚ such as the weather‚ decides there’s going to be a storm this weekend‚ well the best we can do is prepare for it. If nature creates us in one mode‚ who are we to go against it and try to change our

Chapter 25: History of Life on Earth Synthesis of Organic Compounds on Early Earth * The Earth probably formed about 4.6 billion years ago‚ and was bombarded with rocks and other material until about 3.9 billion years ago. * The Earth then cooled‚ allowing for the formation of oceans. Scientists hypothesize the general atmosphere‚ or at least some regions‚ were naturally reducing environments‚ meaning that they added electrons to compounds. * Activation energy provided by lightening

1. Before you read‚ decide which of three explanations for the extinction of the dinosaurs you like best. Write an explanation of why you like it. Sex: Testes function only in a narrow range of temperature. (Those of mammals hang externally in a scrotal sac because internal body temperatures are too high for their proper function.) A worldwide rise in temperature at the close of the Cretaceous period caused the testes of dinosaurs to stop functioning and led to their extinction by sterilization

Height of Ball Drop v/s The Depth of the Crater | By Tejas Shah‚ IBDP Year 1 | | | | | | | * Aim- To find the relationship between the depth of crater and the height from which it is dropped. * Research Question- Does the height from where the ball is released affect the depth of the crater. * Hypothesis- If we increase the height of the drop of the ball; the depth of the crater would increase. This is because as there is loss in potential energy subsequently there

How do the height and kinetic energy of an object affect the diameter of its crater when it hits sand? Theory: The theory being looked at here is the transfer of gravitational potential energy (GPE) to kinetic energy (KE). At a point of drop of an object‚ the potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy of the object just before it impacts the floor: GPEPosition of drop = KEBefore impact The measure of the crater that the ball produces after impact should reflect on the change in kinetic energy

Your Own‚" Flannery O’Connor descriptively characterizes the battles within oneself with the characters of Mrs. Crater‚ Tom Shiftlet‚ and Lucynell Crater. The realistic and truthful tones of their actions suggest that through personal obstacles and flaws‚ triumph can be obtain by being truthful. All three characters of the story are realistic and truthful in a different way. Mrs. Crater could be considered the most truthful character in the entire story. She does not avoid the truth of her daughter’s

Lucynell Crater is the retarded daughter of Mrs. Crater. She has a childlike mind and is unable to speak. She is a simple spirit and lacks comprehension of her surroundings. “She ha[s] long pink-gold hair and eyes as blue as a peacock’s neck”(O’Connor). She was almost thirty but could

The use of irony helps to show the true identity of Mr. Shiftlet while the theme shows the struggle humans face in redeeming themselves. Mr. Shiftlet is in need of redemption from the beginning and is given that opportunity by helping out Mrs. Crater. Mr. Shiftlet seems like a trustworthy man to Mrs. Crater but in reality‚ he has bad intentions. He could care less about Lucynell‚ he cares

do what we consciously know is not the moral ideal. Aristotle defined moral weakness as a person who‚ "knowing that what he does is bad‚ does it as a result of passion." In Flannery O’Connor’s short story‚ “The Life You Save May Be Your Own‚” Mrs. Crater and Mr.Shiftlet’s actions reveal what truly causes a person to act immorally‚ which in their case are material possessions. From the beginning‚ it is clear that Mrs.Crater is seeking to lure Mr.Shiftlet into her home so she can gain his services
