The description gives a sense of tranquility, and the realization that the travelers can travel to a distance place where human kind has not disturbed the area. The physical journey made by the young couple can become a life changing experience through their having to cope with new

Daily, hundreds of thousands of people are traveling, whether it’s by plane, car, bus, boat, or foot, people are traveling to new locations and being immersed in different cultures. Many fail to realize how ignorant of a tourist they are. Kincaid explains that tourists are morally “ugly” and use other, less fortunate people, for their own amusement. She tries to enlighten those who are privileged to be more considerate when they are visiting new places. Published author Jamaica Kincaid wrote “The Ugly Tourist,” originally written in her book, A Small Place, where she tries to convince readers that tourists are, “a piece of rubbish” (207). Kincaid’s attempt to convey to the audience that tourists are ignorant and morally “ugly” is partially successful, due to her satisfactory emotional appeal, yet inability to produce a less angry tone, along with minimal logical appeal.

1. The thesis of this essay in the author's words is "Travel is how we put a voice to the Other and step a little beyond our second hand images of the alien." In other words, the author is trying to tell us that travelling is necessary in order for us to not hold prejudices and experience the lifestyle of other cultures.

Expectation is the feeling about something might happen in the future. Experience is what has already happened to people. Experience and expectation can have a real impact on people’s mood and situation. When people’s experience is unlike their expectation, they can be down and despairing. In the essay “On Habit”, Alain de Botton states that the happiness people get from journey is more rely on the mindset people have than on the places they travel to. De Botton feels extremely annoying to be home after coming back from Barbados. Everything around him is meaningless and boring due to the decades he lived in that neighborhood. After reading Xavier de Maistre’s Journey around My Bedroom, De Botton pretends that he is

As I walked onto our Amsterdam bound plane in PDX, I couldn’t help but think about what I would have the privilege of seeing. In the next week and a half, I would visit the Acropolis in Athens, Epidaurus- the first amphitheater and major healing center, Ancient Olympia- the sight of the first ever Olympics, Pompeii and the world-famous Roman Coliseum. I’ve been many to many places: Hawaii, New York, Boston, Washington D.C, and Honduras, but I’d never been as excited to travel somewhere as I was then. Without the inspiration of some of the places I would be visiting, our world would be very different than the world we know. We might not have track races, theater programs, sporting stadiums or many other fixtures of life.

From some of the most powerful and inspiring women artists, it is natural to mention this woman, as she was the first Renaissance woman artist to achieve fame in the 16th century. (Kuiper) Sofonisba Anguissola is someone that I think is inspiring because of her accomplishment of becoming famed for art in the Renaissance era but as managed to sell her paintings in a clever way. She achieved fame and set an example throughout her life for up and coming future artists through the centuries. Sofonisba Anguissola was born in the 1532 in Cremona, Italy and lived for 93 years, until she died in November of 1625. She was lucky to be born into a wealthy family, where she was the oldest of the six siblings where she lived a comfortable life in Spain.

While in this situation Cooper does not feel like treat him normal until his wife shows up, and he says “SEE, I TOLD YOU: I’M NORMAL AND NONTHREATENING AND DESERVING OF YOUR EMPATHY BECAUSE THIS NICE LADY CAME TO MY BEDSIDE” (Cooper, 2012, p. 132). Through this example the reader gets a small insight on how the doctors may have been treating him, and the treatment was not what other patients were receiving. Readers also see how Cooper does not feel accepted by the way the doctors decide to treatment because they don’t see him as “normal.” Another insight readers see is how Cooper thinks a good doctor or nurse would react in this situation, and it is not how they reacted toward him. Cooper implies that a good nurse or doctor will treat every patient the same no matter how different they may be and who is there to support

Hipparchus of Nicaea changed the world of Math and Science for years after his final breath. Hipparchus is considered to be the father of Trigonometry, a branch of math, and to have study the orbit of the Moon and Sun determining their size and distance from Earth. Hipparchus of Nicaea is said to be one of the greatest scientist of all times. Despite his brilliancy barely anything is known about Hipparchus or his works. The information that we have on Hipparchus is second hand accounts from him many students, the work his students produced especially Almagest by Ptolemy, and the only surviving work that is still left today, Τῶν Ἀράτου καὶ Εὐδόξου φαινομένων ἐξήγησις (Commentary on the Phaenomena of Eudoxus and Aratus).

The writer had tons of books and pieces he wrote in his study and one night the doctor's wife decided that it would be a good idea to not think about the actuality of the epidemic. “And that night, as was only right, she read to all of them a few pages from a book she had gone to fetch from the study” (Saramago 294). By reading to the others, it shows that she cared for how they were feeling. Just for a few minutes she took away the agony of blindness. While listening to the doctor's wife read, they [the rest of the group] would forget about the epidemic and it allowed their minds to drift off and think about something else.

A steady increase in the types and number of organ transplants was seen after the 1970’s largely due to the success of an immunosuppressant isolated from Tolypocladium inflatum. One of the many inconspicuous creatures found in soil is the fungus Tolypocladium inflatum, which is a major contributor in the field of immunopharmacology. Belonging to the phylum Ascomycota (Bushley et al. 2013), T.inflatum is an asexual reproductive stage of Cordyceps subsessilis, a very rare stage of the fungus (Hodge et al. 1996). Interestingly, this was discovered in Cornell University when students collected a beetle infected with the fungi. Later, Professor Hodge

You’re Going to Die: What Are You Going to Do About It? Death is a difficult topic, so as a species we tend to avoid talking about it and shun the idea of it in our entertainment. If it shows up in literature when we weren’t expecting it, we get angry, as it is easy to be angry with fiction. But how can you be angry with fate?

Carassius auratus, commonly referred to as goldfish, originated from C. a. auratus that is native to southern China and found in the lower Yangtze River (Wang). Although C. auratus have been long domesticated, their ancestors are wild fish that have adapted to survive in large rivers and hostile conditions. Therefore, they also have the innate ability to navigate and recognize their environment in order to find food or shelter. C. auratus is known to explore a new surrounding using an organized pattern to prevent them from returning to past locations and they have also shown the ability to recognize environmental modifications (Salas

Unlike many of the other characters introduced in the prologue of the Canterbury Tales, the Physician is a character who is introduced hastily and upfront. The narrator, also known as Chaucer, does not spend much time on the physician's description, often telling strictly the facts. Chaucer seems to praise and rave about the physician, describing him as “none like him to pick [in all this world],” (Line 412). In addition, it is reiterated that the physician is very skilled in his trade. Furthermore, it is made clear that the physician is one of the best in his profession, for he can cure any malady and can cure most of them. When it says, “He knew the cause of every malady,” Chaucer is emphasizing the physician’s skill and knowledge (Line 419).

The German word fernweh has no direct translation in English, but it means, roughly, farsickness-- an almost painful hunger for travel. Most people, at some point in their life, feel this sickness as a keen frustration at their current position or simply a craving to see the world, and I am no different. I was born into a family that makes sacrifices for travel and I have stalked Civil War battlefields across the American South, slept on a garish night train that smelled of curry, and seen England while subsisting entirely on premade gas station sandwiches. I have travelled enough to know that the only remedy for fernweh is to consider and weigh the use of each hour. We may hunger for new climes, but by trying to make as much of our time as possible while travelling, we will not starve for them.
