- 14881: Genetics Engineering
- Genetics Engineering Hollywood has been showing it to us for years. Frankenstein, The Six Million Dollar Man, Jurassic Park, etc.; the list goes on. All these movies show man's instinct to create. This fiction of playing God in recent years is becoming a reality. In 1952, deoxyribonucleic acid was discovered(Dewitt, 1994). The spiral staircase molecule, DNA. DNA is the building block of life ... parents will know everything about him or her. If they will be artistic. Will she get breast cancer? Will he be tall or short? Is he a genius. Ten years from 2005, these questions won't even have to be asked. Made to order babies. Made to order babies?!? Is this where we are headed? It's only a matter of time before a president's hair clippings are swept up at a barbershop and then used to detect what diseases he has or is susceptible to. The rich may one ...

This novel takes place during the future in Elm City where all houses are fireproof, people drive jet cars, and firefighters burn books ... firefighters burn them and store them in his house. One day, Montag met Clarisse McClellan, one of his neighbors. Clarisse was a 17-year-old girl who had no fear of speaking her mind. "Let's talk about something else. Have you ever smelled old leaves? Don t they smell like cinnamon? Here. Smell." (pg.40) In this passage, we are shown that Clarisse McClellan plays an enormous role in the book in that she awakens a love and desire in Montag ...
- 14883: Acid Rain 10
- ... and can be absorbed by the roots of trees. This causes the trees to starve to death because they are deprived of their vital nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. Sometimes the sulfur dioxide doesn’t get converted to sulfuric acid. In fact, there is a large amount that can float into the atmosphere and return to earth unconverted. But when the gas returns to earth, it clogs up the stomata ... such as amphibians, fish and insects. Many of these species lay their eggs in the water making them extremely vulnerable. When it comes to materials, acid rain is a problem. For example, flags that aren’t put away get eaten by the acid rain. Also books and old art are affected because the ventilation systems aren’t designed to prevent acidic particles form entering the buildings of such places as libraries and museums, which eventually gets circulated throughout. Finally the effect on humans. The most serious problem that we have with ...
- 14884: Snow Falling on Cedars: Ishmael and Hatsue
- ... with Ishmael for what it was. She realized she did not really love him and that she was still learning what love really is. She moved on with her life, whereas Ishmael could not. Ishmael’s view of love did not change throughout the novel. He met Hatsue as a child, and formed the idea that he loved her through his limited knowledge and through his adolescent view of relationships. His ... she would not be happy with him, and later he found she had married someone else. He could not accept the fact that Hatsue would never be with him. When Ishmael had proof of Kabuo’s innocence late in the novel, he hesitated in bringing it forward. This reveals much about the type of love Ishmael had for Hatsue. His love was definitely the same love he had as a child ... her with the evidence and she told him again that it would make her very happy if he would find someone else, he could not. His life was miserable because he could not accept Hatsue’s decision and true feelings. Hatsue and Ishmael did not work out because they were incompatible. It was not due to circumstances; not the war, the camp where Hatsue was taken, their parents, or Kabuo. ...
- 14885: Superconductivity
- ... physicist. It is the ability to conduct electricity without resistance and without loss. At that time, it took liquid helium to get extremely low temperatures to make a substance superconduct, around 4 kelvins. That wasn't very far from absolute Zero (The theoretical temperature at which the atoms and molecules of a substance lose all of their frantic heat-dependent energy and at which all resistance stops short.) Kelvin believed that ... as the temperature got close to absolute zero. But others were not so sure. Kelvin was wrong. The colder it gets, the less the lattice shakes, making it easier for electrons to get through. There's one theory that explains best what happens in a superconducting wire: When a conductor is cooled to super low temperatures, the electrons travelling inside it would join up in some way and move as a ... to that was phonons. It is believed that packets of sound waves (phonons) that are emitted by the vibrating lattice overcome the electrons natural repulsion making it possible for them to travel in team. It's as if they were all holding hands together. If one of them falls in a hole or bumps into something, the preceding electron would pull him and the following one would push. There was ...
- 14886: The Entertainment Universe
- ... as much physical pain as possible. The dance eventually gets so extreme that a young man in the crowd snaps his neck and dies. The man does not stop his ravings and the crowd doesn't stop their dance. Instead the man becomes entirely deranged, screaming at the body of the young man that he is now going to hell where he rot in flames of agony for eternity. The crowd ... The discourse of the artists is exhibited to the mass populace in movie theaters, prime time television and auditoriums filled with thousands of people. The lunacy is able to occur because we control it. It's the mass populace that buys the records, watches the movies and pays the salaries of the artists. It's what we want to see, hear and feel because the entertainment universe consists of our very own nightmares and dreams. It is that which we desire most but can't have. It is the ...
- 14887: Rae, We Pray For You
- ... that certain enjoyment that exists in life. It is what separates the human race, from all others. Logic and reason that we possess in such high quantities as human beings apparently are lacking in Carruth’s case. It seems to make little sense, especially in Carruth’s situation. He seemed to have everything going for him, having achieved his dream to become a professional athlete and supporting his parents and relatives on this newfound fame as he had always promised. Yet, something ... action, not even as a last resort to most who have their wits about them. It seemed as though Carruth felt that he had no other choice. He seemed to take the classic, “I don’t like you, so I’ll beat you up,” mantra of the playgrounds to a much harsher end in this case. With Carruth you must question many things about him, his sanity, his maturity, his ...
- 14888: Fifth Business

Leading up to his departure to the War he never really saw much of Mary, mainly because Mr. Dempster told him to stay away, but also because every time him saw her he couldn't hold back feelings of guilt and remorse. This troubled Dunny, much more then he would ever let on. On the other hand, Boy was doing as well as ever, possibly due to the fact that ... Dunny knew this as well but it was too late to do much about it except leave. While Dunny was away at war, Boy was still finishing school and in the process of stealing Dunny's girl while he was away. Boy and Dunstan had been competing for Leola all their life up until when Dunny left. This loss for Dunstan could have been avoided if in fact he had ...
- 14889: Civil War-sectionalism
- ... a free society without freeing those in bondage. John Adams seems now more like Nostrodamus when he voiced his concern about the slavery issue for future generations. He did not know it, but the couldn’t have been more right. As time went on the United States of America grew as two separate nations. The Industrial Revolution gave Northern living its own culture, as the development of machinery and capitalism took ... changed to cotton, the South became more and more dependent on it. Their entire way of life was based on that forced labor system. They would stop at nothing to protect it. During the 1850’s this devotion to slavery came to the forefront. Expansion was on everyone’s lips, and the slave holders were looking for a place to expand their holdings. Many of the Northern politicians were against expansion, for fear of Southern dominance, but once the issue became inescapable, they ...
