Science Essay

Have you ever thought how stem cells actual help people? Well not only does it help with cancer and spine problems it also helps with babies born with birth defects. Stems cells are beneficial to so many things but there are a lot of controversies. 

Meanwhile everyone might have different opinions on the stem cell, but there is only one way to explain it and that is. The cell is essentially “blank” and it’s capable of changing into any other cell like skin, muscle, or a nerve cell (What is a Stem Cell?). These cells can be used as a repair system inside the body, and as long as the person alive, the cell will help out other cells (NIH Stem Cell Unit ). Scientists are trying to figure out if these cells can cure cancer or at least help out in the cure for it.

Even though they haven’t figured out if it can help cancer, yet, that is ok there is so many other things it can do. Stem cells can help damaged cells. If patents are exposed to a growth condition and develop in desired stem cells such as muscle cells these can be provided by stem cells.(NIH Stem Cell Unit ). The Amniotic Fluid was found to have stem cells that tell after the fluid is attracted from the abdomen and tested for birth defects (What is a Stem Cell?).

Although they have done great thing, there has been a lot of controversy on this research topic about what might all happen in the future or in the present. There is a big disagreement on this research because people think it takes away the right of the embryos as a equal person (Stem Cell Basic ). There might be other reason why, but really that’s the main reason why people don’t like this idea. Plus, the progress on this has been slowed down and it’s because of all the political controversies (Stem Cell Basic ).

Although people stand to agree to disagree the number of disadvantages is less the advantages. So think to yourself, why wouldn’t you want to save lives? What if you or someone in your life were in their position wouldn’t you want the same? So ask yourself why there is so much controversy if stem cells are so beneficial.

Maybe There is a Happy Ending

A/N: This long piece is suppose to represent word choice and context. Although I know that some of the wording is sad but I want you to know this is not true.
The moon creeps up as I walk on the cold ground, the trees peering down at me. The smallest chirp by a bug makes me jump out of my skin. Crack! I scream like a girl in a horror movie. The time flew by like I was having fun but I can tell you I was not.
9 hours earlier….
“Hey Mom,”
“Where were you?” She says, drunk as usual, but who can blame her. She was sixteen when she first had me her so-called-boyfriend left when she told him she was expecting me. She was so happy at first but then he left. He took everything…our house, food, money, everything. When she first saw the door had been closed by bank with the slip that said how long we have to move out that was dancing in the air as the wind spins it around like the horse on the broken merry go round at the abandoned amusement park.
“I was at school.” I say confused “Mom, are you ok?”
“Of course I am, honey.” She says as she stumbles over to give me a hug. I thought I would fall over here; dead body weight was overcoming just like a whale would be. I can’t help but fall which doesn’t help me at all. Actually, she sits there dazed confused on top of me. I see rage in her eyes as I help her stand up.
“Why did you make me fall?”
“I didn’t try to. I’m sorry, Mom!”
Just as she lifts her hand to hit my face, I quiver in fear like a puppy in the snow of a cold winter. I open my mouth but nothing comes out. Last thing I remember was waking to the TV on one of those old time soap opera that Mom likes; the drama filled ones almost like the teenage Barbie dolls life.
I look in the mirror in my bathroom; it looks like someone poured paint on my face. I try to cover it up but the make-up keeps smearing from the silent tear dripping down my face like the drips of water off a melting icicle.
Wham! The bathroom door flings open with my drunken mother and her creepy new boyfriend.
“What are you doing?!” he screams.
“I…I’m…I’m—”
“Stop stuttering, spit it out!”
“I’m nothing, I’m nothing. I’m doing nothing. Leave me alone!”
“That’s no way to talk to Carl.” Mother says slurring her words.
“Sorry Carl.” I give him the most disgusting look I can as I push by them trying to get to the creaky front door. Just as I open the door, Carl yanks on my hair. I feel like a doll in the hands of a four year old. Carl’s holding my hair, throwing me back into the wall; I touch the back of my head the pain quickly lingers down my body.
I rush to escape turning the door. Hands numb, feet numb, body is just unaware of everything going on. That’s how got to this street because I just kept running but I can tell you this story is not over there is more for you to adore. I walk into an old school diner when suddenly I see a very familiar pair of warm inviting eyes. I look away quickly because being seen all alone in soaked clothes, hair a mess, bruises everywhere on me will not help the little image I have at the most pathetic school I know. Jake is the popular guy I know. Letterman jacket, quarterback, blonde perfect hair, he’s every girls’ dream and sadly even mine.
Jake slinks over to my booth and into the seat across to me. I avoid all eye contact just so he can’t see the bruises, as much as I would love to look into those deep blue eyes. They’re so loving, filled with so much hope not evil and disappointment like I usually see.
I mumble to myself, “What do you want?”
But he hears it, anyway.
“I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
“I’m fine!” I snap.
“Okay, geez.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to-“
Just I as say the last word he pushes back my wet hair which already made a puddle on the table and he lifts my chin. I just hear the gasp from him. I can’t bear to look him in the eyes. So I do the only thing I really know how to do.
I ran.
I never looked back when. I think I am alone I start to walk but the moon creeps up as I walk on the cold ground, the trees peering down at me. The smallest chirp by a bug makes me jump out of my skin. Crack! I scream like a girl in a horror movie. Suddenly hands over my mouth and I’m getting spun around but as I open my tear filled eyes. I see Jake. I was mortified and happy. He cups my face gently like you would a baby in your arms. He touches my skin. The pain is like needles, I jump back.
“I’m sorry. Don’t run off.” He says to me. I sit there silent not knowing what to say but this day the day that I dreaded the most. You know the day you actually had to talk to the guy you’re madly in love with but he didn’t even know you exist. He doesn’t even know my name, I think.
“Love—”
Gosh, I curse that name. I never understood why my mom didn’t choose one like Hannah, or Abbey, something like that. Wait; did he just say my name? I wanted to die right there and then but I didn’t.
He grabs my hand and smiles but I look away trying to hide my cheeks that are almost as red as my high tops. Just when I thought this night couldn’t get any better, I hear him say the things I never thought he would say to me.
“Love, remember when we were little and I held you upside down in the well. I stole your ribbon from your hair.’’
I laugh and so does he. Just as he reaches into his back pocket and says “I have had this since that day.”
He lifts up a ragged, torn up ribbon a faint green color. He kisses me and whispers in my ear
“I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
The words Iinger in the air like I’m scared but I’m not; not now at least. He pulls me close; I can feel this body heat against my cold as ice body. He truly does love me.

More Then What You Might Think

I feel like the real meaning behind these two poems are very similar they both represent loosing nature in one way or another. I think the author’s purpose for writing “Big Yellow Taxi” is showing that never take anything for granet. Some things are way greater than others but the small things are usually the best things. In the other poem “Field Below” is representing that she misses the nature of her old home or life.
The mood for these poems are both very sad and depressing. The tone for both of these poems are heartbroken. With the music the first one sounded happier then the words did. On the other hand the other song it diffidently sound like the music goes with the music.

A Poem show Love

Poems can show many things love, happiness, sadness and even connections. The connection between mother and son is special between them and no one quite understands what it is. Although in the short poem Mother to Son it shows you a little bit of the special connection.
The tone defiantly comes off as a loving mother is a tough but is soft at the same time. Shes trying to get message threw to her son but she doesn’t want it to come off as a lecture. On the other hand the mood for a reader is sympathetic to this child because I know we have all had that grandparent or even a parent tell you that life is harder now then it was before.

Predicting the Future

A/N: This piece is what I feel is going to happen in my group book deadly.

How do you catch something invisible? Well in the book Deadly the main character Prudence Galewski figures out evidence and everything falls into places as people are falling ill right out of nowhere. But what will happen if they can’t catch it in time?

I predict that the main character is going to fall ill, although that may just drive more her to find a cure. I think this because I know that a lot of people around her I falling ill, some even dying. Plus since she is trying to find a cure then maybe she’ll catch it from someone.

Another thing that I think might happen is that a lot of the characters might die from this sickness before the Prudence can find a cure, if she finds a cure at all, that is. I think this because even though she has the drive to find a cure, maybe the sickness is too powerful.

In conclusion to this I feel like the main character will triumph over little obstacles and hopefully the biggest one of all, the sickness. Hopefully she doesn’t fall ill in the whole chaos. What do you think will happen?

Knowing Ginny

In the book Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets has this character her name is Ginny Weasly she is a quite young girl with red hair just like the rest of her family. It’s her first year at Hogwarts because she figured out she was a witch. She is a pure blood which stands for both her parents our witches or wizards.

Ginny is the only daughter In the Weasly house hold. She has 4 older brothers Ron, George and Fred who our twins, then Percy. Although she is the only girl she still finds to be friends with her brothers even if they don’t want to show it they truly love her.

The Supply Closet

Author’s note: This is a skit is to rewrite the scene where Doon finds the mayor sitting past out on the chair with supplies all around him and then the scene he tells Lina about it which is in the book The City Of Ember.

Doon: where’s that door

*Doon walking around trying to find the door. In the mean time you see Lina trying to do her work but is to distracted by the clues on why the power is going out*

Doon: Ow!!!! (With great pain) * As he bumps his head* Stupid pipe oh there’s that door

*walks in with the door loudly squeaking)

Mayor: Who’s there (with great anger) *furiously coming up in his chair*

*Doon freezes and covers his mouth with his hand*

Mayor: DON’T MAKE ME REAPET MYSELF WHO’S THERE!!

*Doon backs away slowly while the mayor goes back to sleep*

*Scene Change*

*black out. When lights back on Lina is walking and doon comes rushing out on and stops right before he runs straight into her*

Doon: LINA LINA LINA !!!!

Lina: WHAT WHAT WHAT!!

*Doon panting trying to catch his breath*

Doon: You won’t believe what I saw!!! (with great worry)

Lina: What what did you see!! (leaning in to her what he has to say)

Doon: THE MAYOR!

*Lina looking disappointed*

Lina: soo we see him everyday……. Unfortunately *with attitude*
