6. Many drug safety research studies are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies that would financially benefit if the results of the study are favorable. Is this an example of a potential confounding factor?
In the book, Mattie starts out as a lazy teenager who needs to be told what to do by her over controlling mother, but throughout the story, she becomes more responsible and adult-like. For
The most reasonable idea that allows Mattie to be the protagonist is that she cared for a little girl named Nell even though she was struggling to care for herself. I predict that having Nell in the hands of Mattie, Grandfather dying, and Mother being gone made sense come to Mattie assuring her that caring for others as well as yourself alone is a huge responsibility. This quote shows Mattie’s thought after Grandfather’s death, “No, I could care for myself. I was not a child.” The two character traits that explains how Mattie matured is independent and a hero. She is independent because she was on her own for awhile and had to find food for herself and care for herself. This piece of evidence shows how she was alone with no one to feed or care for her, “I was alone; Grandfather was dead and Mother missing.” She had no one to count on but herself. Mattie being a hero shows a lot of her maturing. This is because she didn’t care for lots of things such as doing chores, but when things changed she realized that other people were in the need of her help like
Mattie was smart. She remembered everything her grandpa taught her. She saw Willow trees and remembered this trick: find a Willow tree and you will soon see water nearby. She saw raspberries, and knew that rabbits were nearby. She is the reason why her and her grandfather survived. Her personal traits that helped her get through this was the

When Forest began to thicken, Matty knew he would be up for a challenge. He had no choice but to go get Kira , then, because Village would be closing in three weeks. When Village closed he would no longer
The Messenger is written from the point of view of Matt and a few times Seer. The whole plot is basically that Village has been friendly and helpful for as long as it has been around and then suddenly, a few characters such as Matty, Seer, and the Leader notice a change… The villagers have become hostile towards each other and foreigners. No one knows why. Then, the Forest also reflects this shift and is becoming impassible. Matty has very little time left before Forest becomes impassible and he has to go convince Kira to come to Village before it’s too late. Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention… Matty has a special gift of healing. He gets Kira safely and has trouble only when he is on the way home. He discovers that he and Kira will die. Some say “drastic times call for drastic measures” and I would say that phrase is applicable in this situation. Matty realizes what he must use all of his remaining power. He realizes he will die but does it

Learning to me is allowing your brain to receive information and then applying in to your life experiences. I feel like face to face learning is better, however, online is more convenient. I prefer face to face because it offers a more personal relationship with your classmates and your professor. Although it is not practical for my life, I do wish I could attend classes in a regular environment. Online provides me that much needed space and opportunity to move at my own pace. Now that I have taken this class, I know that while I am receiving information I will be more aware of the information being delivered because I will now be more intentional with receiving the information.
