The objective of the experiment “Keeping it Liquid” was to figure out what it takes to keep a compound in a liquid form which caused a phase change. A phase change is when a substance changes from one state or phase to another. There are three main phases that normally occur and they are called Evaporation, Deposition, and Melting.

Deposition is where a gas vapor goes directly into the solid phase without becoming a liquid first. An example of Deposition often occurs on windows during the winter months.

One of the most basic philosophical questions, as well as at the same time being the most complicated, in the novel Sophie’s World is the question, who are we? This question alone is what embarks Sophie, the main character in the novel, on a never ending journey of questions and through the world of philosophy. As it is shown in Sophie’s World, the concepts of philosophy have been in constant change all throughout history, philosophers contradicting one another in a constant battle to achieve greatness, and proceeding in a constant never ending cycle of philosopher contradicting philosopher. Because of this non-stop constant change in philosophy, Democritus, one of the earliest philosophers, would have a

One of the fundamental questions that religions seek to answer is that of origin. How was man put on earth? Why and from what was he created? Who created him? What does his creation imply about the status of human beings? Some or all of these questions are answered by a religion’s creation stories. Every religion’s creation myths attempt to give solutions to problems present to that religious society. Because of this, each religion may have one or more creation stories, each of those different from one another in the questions they ask and the answers they give.

In her work, “This is Our World,” Dorothy Allison shares her perspective of how she views the world as we know it. She has a very vivid past with searing memories of her childhood. She lives her life – her reality – because of the past, despite how much she wishes it never happened. She finds little restitution in her writings, but she continues with them to “provoke more questions” (Allison 158) and makes the readers “think about what [they] rarely want to think about at all” (158).

Lastly, God made man. He created them in His own image. However, man was not made from nothing. The first man was made from the dust of the ground and God breathed in him the breath of life. His name was Adam, which means “dirt” or “earth”. Adam was to take care of all the animals. He even got to name them all. A helper was made for Adam so he wouldn’t be alone. She was made from one of Adam’s ribs. Her name was Eve, which means “mother of

The water reclaims the memories of the past. After choking Sethe in the clearing, Beloved looks at herself in the water. “[Beloved] turned finally and ran through the woods to the stream. Standing close to its edge she watched her reflection there (101).” , As Beloved gazes at herself through the stream she acknowledges how much Sethe means to her and the love she has for her. However, after the encounter with the famous clearing, Beloved recalls what Sethe did to her and her anger causes an inexplicable physical attack on Sethe. The love Sethe has for Beloved inevitably destroys her while causing her past to come back and haunt her. When Sethe sees Edward Bodwin walking down the street, her fear of her past repeating itself causes her to try to attack him. “He is coming into her yard and he is coming for her best thing… And if she thinks anything, it is no. No no. Nonono. She flies. The ice pick is not in her hand; it is her hand (262).” The frozen water encapsulates her past. Since the past remains frozen and forever permanent, Beloved’s death captures the essence of Sethe’s anger and desire to kill Bodwin. Although the past appears as horrific events, it nevertheless brings Beloved to life.

Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey is essentially the “coming of age” story of Catherine Morland, a sympathetic yet naïve young girl who spends some time away from home at the impressionable age of seventeen. As Catherine matures in the town of Bath and at Northanger Abbey, she learns to forgo immature childhood fantasies in favor of the solid realities of adult life, thus separating falsehood from truth. This theme is expressed in a couple of ways, most obviously when Catherine’s infatuation with Gothic novels causes her to nearly ruin her relationship with Henry Tilney: her imagination finally goes too far, and she wrongly suspects General Tilney of murdering his late wife. The theme is less apparent

     “The Heidi Chronicles” by Wendy Wasserstein kept my interest so much that I could not put it down until I was to the last page. I liked how the issue of sexuality played a role along with the issue of feminist goals in this play. I believe they complimented one another in that both groups strive for equal right among the majority. For example when Peter starts to march with the other women from the Art Institute. It shows that he is standing for a cause the effects another minority group in our society: women.
