Jackie is an elite distance runner when no one else in her family has this trait is because she has a different combination of gene versions. Evidence card D states "she ran sprints three days a week, but her sprint times were nit very good, and she never won any races." This evidence supports the claim 2 and refutes claim 1 because even though she did train, she was not very good. Based on the he evidence I could conclude that Jackie's running ability did not have to do with training. Another piece of evidence is on card B, it states that Lincoln has a gene version combination of A1 and A1 which points to the result of Jackie's mother having A1 is one of her gene versions. This is important bad use when you inherit genes from your

Ben Franklin appeals to the reader’s ethos by having Polly reference her character and her similar beliefs with the judge. On numerous occasions, Polly touts her character to the judge in order to establish trust which, in turn, establishes trust with the reader. She states that she has lived an “inoffensive life” and asks for the judge to ask her enemies if she has ever harmed a soul, for she does not believe she has (Franklin, 242). Polly also only uses polite terms to reference the judge, though this can also be seen as a light form of mocking from Ben Franklin, as she always calls him “Honourable” when she also disagrees with him fervently (242). Moreover, Polly references the past four times she has been sentenced and how she has

What immediately struck me about the first sequence is the noticeable power imbalance between Walter and Phyllis; in this moment Phyllis is the one wielding it. Looking back on the scene after watching the entire movie, the power imbalance is all the more noticeable to me. Multiple techniques in the sequence subtly highlight this imbalance and hint at Phyllis’ true motivations. The scene begins with Walter driving up to the Dietrichson home. The outdoors lighting is bright, there are children playing in the streets, and a beautiful view of the landscape and homes beyond the street. The car Walter Neff drives is obviously dark against the light scene surrounding it. Later scenes where we see the house, more specifically the garage, it’s nighttime and covered in darkness. It’s almost as if it symbolizes the darkness that entered that home the moment Walter and Phyllis crossed paths. When we first see Phyllis, she’s at the top of the stairs in the front entrance of the home. The room is shaded, except for light emanating from the window that lands right where Phyllis is standing in just her towel. The layout of the maid, Walter, the stairs, and various pieces of furniture all appear to form a Fibonacci spiral that leads the viewer’s focus straight to Phyllis. It’s no coincidence that in

In a time of changing lifestyles, can two people with very different social status compare or contrast their love life’s? How does one with wealth and another poor compare or contrast? In F.

When Evelyn and Peggy reveal their new-found information to Mary, she immediately realizes what she can do to get out of that dreaded school. The story that Mary hears is now the foundation of her lie.

Their differences created the conflicts between them. John, as a physician, is very practical and rationalistic. He disregards the existence of anything that cannot be seen or felt and therefore does not believe that his wife was ill even though through reading her thoughts and emotions it was clear that she was suffering severely. The woman on the other hand, is very imaginative and sensitive. John believes that all his wife needs is rest and therefore her treatment is that she does no work and especially no writing. He felt that her condition would be made worst if she does any form of work or writing. The woman strongly disagrees with John on the type of treatment that he has suggested. She thinks that having daily activities, freedom, and interesting work would help her condition and so she starts to create secret journal in an attempt to alleviate her mind and to prevent her illness from getting the best of her. John continuously suppresses her thoughts, feelings and concerns about her illness which portrays him in a sense as a “villain”. He does not provide her with the space or opportunity to try other alternatives other than the “rest cure” so that she might overcome her illness. The woman wants to write about her feelings and her conditions but she is not allowed and so she has to struggle to hide her writings from John and his sister. The fact that she cannot freely write and openly express her feelings to John strains her and drains
