After working with the seals one night he notices lesions on his arm and hand next to a cut. Worried, he went to the doctor to figure out what it is. The doctor draws his blood and then subscribes him some pain killers. After a couple of weeks the lesions slowly go away until they are completely gone, leaving nothing but a couple of scars. A little while later the Doctor calls Michael to inform him that he had sealpox and that he probably contracted it from the cut in his arm. He tells Michael to wash his hands thoroughly after handling the seals and to use protective
It is okay to have a different view of knowledge. It is also okay to think one subject should be taught more then another subject. In Yo-Yo Ma and Ethan Watters essays, they both talked about different subjects they feel should be taught more heavily in our school systems. While Ma focused more on the arts and music, Watters focused on the science portion of education. Both had different views and reasons they felt their subject should be taught more. Neither are wrong and they both viewed their subjects well. Well I think both are equally valuable, some feel more science should be taught heavier, while others agree with Ma and think art should be heavier taught.

These strong preachers for their communities’ strategically defined the meanings of scriptures to sway members into the ideals of North vs. South. Richard Furman and John G.

What or more importantly who was responsible for this catastrophic loss of life? The Quaker society of colonial America was where these events took place. The term Quaker refers to a member of a religious sect called The Society of Friends,

I agree with you that this story was unique! I also thought it was neat to see the students respond to all of this years later. The things Mr. Fenger was able to do with his students are inspiring to me. The thing I really enjoyed about him was that he never did this for the money or fame.
