Germs: A Short Story

At the end of the story, “Stains”, when the mother hears the telephone ring, she immediately dashes to the sound of the loud ring of the telephone and answers it. On the other end of the line, a lady from St. Andrew’s hospital informs her about her son’s critical state that he is in and her son’s need for her. Right then and there, she was already out the door. She knew that this could be the last opportunity to show her son how much she loves him and how much she wants her son to have a better life. The hospital was only a few blocks away, and so she ran as fast as she could, her heart beating loudly and her hair flying furiously in the frigid mid-February air. She finally reached the entrance of the hospital in less than ten minutes running,

I stand and stare in disbelief as the car’s bonnet is crumpled into the bulky metal pole on the side of the road. My limbs are numb and I am drenched from head to toe. The glistening droplets continuously drip off the tip of my nose as I realize how much trouble I’m going to get into. The wind wails around me as if it’s saying “you’re going to be in so much trouble”. I suddenly get back into the car and attempt to reverse the car so no one will see the car rammed into the power pole. Mum and Dad's pristine new car. Scratched. Dented. Ruined.

“In the light of the germ theory…[d]jseases are to be considered as a struggle between the organism and the parasites invading it.” The aforementioned quote, by Henry Gandle, a professor of physiology at Chicago Medical College, characterizes the germ theory through the collective human struggle against disease inducing microorganisms. In a period of discovery, where the nature of various germs and diseases were brought to light, the common conception encompassed a war between humans and diseases; this analogy to a war implicates a united effort on the part of the human race in battling these dangerous microorganisms. Tomes writes in The Gospel of Germs not only of the different scientific discoveries associated with the emergent germ

In the article “Where the World Began” the author Margaret Laurence represents her life in the Canadian Prairies and parts of Canada, on how she viewed the world .She gives descriptions of her hometown and how her childhood was like in the Canadian Prairies to give a representation of Canada. She states that she has found her own view of the parries and describes her home in the Canadian Prairies as a little microorganism. Throughout the essay, she talks about her memories, the season and the interesting things about her homeland which raises the perspective from the rest of the world. Lawrence's constantly has a deeper meaning and it gets you to think if she is mythologizing her views on Canada in a non fictional autobiographical essay.

Food production led to the causes of many things, some such as germs carried by farmers usually, technology, and literacy. Infections and diseases were led by various animals, being around them or being involved with them caused this. Some of the major diseases we get as humans are smallpox, tuberculosis, flu, plague, measles, malaria, and cholera. These are evolved and mainly gotten from animals, usually animals like house pets or farm animals, since humans interact with them more than other kinds of animals. Germs and microbes pass through victims and spread around fairly simple or not simple at all. Usually, the easiest way for a germ to spread is through waiting to be passed to another victim. As if someone who is “sick” is contagious and

Chapter 11: Germs played the role by killing the weaker people while the stronger become immune to the germs. So settlements got destroyed while others stayed up and going. This means that a lot of natives were killed by the Spanish bringing over the germs.

“No. We have to keep going.” Osborne turned the engine back on and pulled a cigarette out of the box he’d thrown into the passenger’s seat. Zayatz wondered how long it’d take for him to go through that carton and the two in the backpack. There was the clink of a lighter and the smell of smoke pervaded the

The day I was made was nice and sunny, probably. I wouldn’t know because the time I was in the world there was chaos. I originated in the oven of a nice house. There was a black circular object that I think was supposed to be a pizza. There wasn’t a good view of the house from the oven, so I decided to move to the rest of the kitchen. The feeling of this world was remarkable but overwhelming. I needed more. I must consume it all. I engulfed the whole kitchen, embracing the power I have over this world. This power isn’t enough though. I spread to the rest of the house, where I see a girl. She was asleep, I must not be intimidating enough. I will see her scream before the end of her lousy life. I was about to wake her, but she woke up on her

In this article I read that microbes and their colonies play a huge role in our immune system and are literally everywhere on us, a large and very important part are in our gut. The ones in your gut help with diseases and with your health conditions. The epidemic of CDI in Europe and the USA has caused many people to request the treatment of fecal microbiota transplantation because it eradicates CDI. The new interest has been awakened by the investigation into gut microbiota, which is very important in resistant and energy metabolism. Some diseases result from microbiotic related dysfunctions and that is why we should check into FMT for other disorders also.

Louis Pasteur was one of the brilliant scientists of his day. He was the one who discovered vaccines for Rabies, Anthrax, Cholera, Tuberculosis, and Smallpox. His most important discovery in medicine was the idea of injecting the disease into someone who already has the disease to build up immunity to it and help the body grow stronger. Besides the Rabies vaccine discovery, he is most known for discovering the idea called “the germ theory of disease,” which is the idea that specific germs cause diseases, and if they can determine the germ they can cure the disease by injecting it into the body. His motivation for these discoveries all started when a beer factory had fermented and the beer had gone sour. This caused the owner of the factory to question why and he brought in Louis Pasteur to help him figure out this anomaly. Louis figured out it was because of the microorganisms found in the beer that was causing it to sour. He began looking at different types of drinks as well like milk and

In the documentary Guns, Germs, and Steel, there was a question that was presented to Diamond by a New Guinean man named Yali. Yali asked, "Why do you white people have so much cargo, but we New Guineans have so little?" This question from Yali threw Diamond off. He assumed that since it was a simple question, that there would have been a simple answer. Moreover, Diamond's experience with the New Guineans had showed him their ingenious ways. That they can go into uncharted, undiscovered territory. They could create a shelter from practically nothing. Then survive there, even thrive there.

Deep in the walls of Cupola lies a secret. A 200 year old magical secret. And it’s up to Anya and her friends to solve it.

I saw addison running towards clorox to the rooftop, I tried pulling addison back but he pulled away and continued to run. I finally caught up to addison once more and pushed him down with all my might, I said “ NO! Let me go instead, he will give me the money.” I ran to the rooftop and noticed that clorox was not there. I then heard footsteps coming towards me, right then I knew addison didn't listen and was heading towards me, I ran back to tell him off but it wasn't addison it was a cop that got startled and BOOM! I was gone…. At least i thought I was, everything went black.

Emily kept walking upon the path in confusion. She wondered what the sign she had previously read meant.
