In the book There's a Hair in my Dirt! A Worm's Story by Gary Larson, a worm father teaches his son about nature by telling him the story of a human named Harriet, who had a deep love for nature. She goes out one day and takes a walk through the forest, taking time to appreciate the beautiful things she sees along the way. Although her actions ultimately harm the forest's animals, her only intention was to appreciate nature and help the forest. Her attitude toward nature is positive, but her actions toward nature are very harmful.

First, the narrator claims that he is sick and passes out. He passes out quite a few times throughout the story. Since he falls in and out of consciousness so many times, he may not remember things fully.

Chapter One of of Jim Murphy’s book, An American Plague, opens with the quote, ‘About this time, this destroying scourge, the malignant fever, crept in among us” (Murphy 1). This quote is accredited to Mathew Carey in November, 1793. The term scourge is defined as, “a person or thing that cause great trouble of suffering,” and the term malignant is defined as, “tending to produce death or deterioration.” These are very strong terms with extremely negative connotative meanings. The figurative language which is evident in the quote at the opening of Chapter One is personification. Carey’s quote give yellow fever an eerie, human-like quality when he writes, “the destroying scourge, the malignant fever, CREPT in among us” (Murphy 1). CArey’s word choices and use of personification help to create a powerful image in the reader’s mind of the threat looming over the city of Philadelphia.\

The Guglielmites are not a well-known group in the history of heresy, and what little we know about them comes primarily from a single inquisitorial record. Henry Charles Lea, in his seminal study of medieval inquisition, devoted a short chapter to this thirteenth century heretical sect in Milan and concluded by stating that it was a little episode in the history of heresy that held no importance in origin or result. Indeed, the Guglielmites never seemed to exceed more than a few dozen members. Moreover, those members were drawn from noble Milanese families. What sticks out about them, what occupies the minds and fantasies of historians and contemporaries alike, is their belief

This shows how the knowledge on the human body led people to learn about the plague which was a huge issue during the Middle

Researchers are currently trying to gain knowledge on the extent of the problem; how the parasite works, what species can be infected, and once infected, what species experience the least amount of symptoms. They believe that by infecting native tree frogs with this parasite, they may be able to increase the amount of parasites while decreasing the amount of toads. L.Pizzatto and R. Shine (2011) had three assumptions. “(1) The parasite has no detrimental effect on the frogs; (2) the frogs are capable of maintaining a lungworm infection long term; and (3) infective larvae passed in the frog’s faeces are capable of infecting toads and reducing their viability.” (p.546)

In the article "The snake that is eating Florida" written by Lauren Tarshis, it states that,"The Burmese python is not a specie naturally found in the everglades."How did it get here. A hurricane hit Florida in the 1990's and wreaked a reptile war house which had baby Burmese pythons in it. The wind in the hurricane was blowing to the west, strait to Miami/everglades. That's how the Burmese python got to the everglades, and then they became invasive.

The chapter starts with Zimmer giving a brief story of a man who went in to the Royal Perth Hospital in Australia in the year 1980. The man had acquired Schistosoma Mansoni in the late 1940s when he swam and bathed in Tanzanian lakes, at least one pair of flukes had invaded his skin and traveled through his veins. Zimmer then starts an amazing explanation on how our immune system fight and react against these parasites. He gives three different example of how T and B cells which are part of our immune system are used to attack parasites. How T cells can command infected cells to basically commit suicide, B cells making more antibodies or T cells communicating with immune cells to do a better job at killing foreign or abnormal things. Some
