In times past lice has been known as the nasty bug people can get in their hair. Never have people had problems with fighting the bugs off or paying for the medication to fight them off. Usually people would just drive to their local supermarket and buy the easy-to-use over the counter medication to get rid of pests. This type of medication would cost about $8.99- $19.99 at most depending on brands. Because these medications are tending to let families down, they have to find an alternative. Angela Shirley, owner of The Lice Slayers in Lawrence, has seen firsthand the results of this increasing resistance. Parents have been coming to this company for a while, saying they have tried three or four times to rid their child’s hair of lice with no luck. Lice Slayers offers the “AirAlle Treatment” which uses a special device to apply heat of about 138 degrees close to the scalp to kill the unwanted visitors and their eggs. In most cases, one treatment, which costs $165, is all it takes to rid an infestation. “They’re not going to become resistant to the heat,” Shirley said (Rudavsky 40). For Shirley, business has really been nice, having over 100 cases in August. Nevertheless, this is not good news for many people with lice. Today people do all they can to get by with paying for school fees, college, groceries, doctor visits and more. No one has the time or money to be spending
What truly is the “American Dream”? Furthermore, during the Great Depression, even the concept of the “American Dream” was not readily available and was no more than a fallacy at the time. For the 2 protagonists in Of Mice And Men, their dream, like many others, was to “live off the fatta the land” and become independent. However, this was not such an easy task at the time, not just because of the rough economic times, but because people of that era still had World War 2 still very fresh in their minds, with the harbored hatred and untrust that came along with it. Nevertheless, for the millions who died in the course of the war, this “American Dream” was not only something worth living for it was something dying for too. However, in the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the author emphasizes that the dreams and hopes were delusions and has a grim outlook on living life in search of a dream.
remuneration. Robertson had called Ugulayacabe “one of the greatest and influential characters in the Chickasaw Nation,” “sensible,” and said he “controlled three- fourths of the tribe” (Cowger 54). Spain thought the meetings at St. Louis and Mobile, and with the support of Ugulayacabe and Taski Etoka, would build a partnership with the Chickasaws, but Piominko held a different course. A year after the meeting at Mobile, Piominko and other Chickasaw leaders traveled to the state of Franklin to meet with its governor, John Sevier. The Chickasaw leaders met John Sevier at his home on the Nolichucky River. Piominko wanted trade and alliance to protect his tribe against threats from the Creeks. Piominko promised to help stop Cherokee parties from

This kit cost me about $25.00 at Walgreens. You can find store brands for less than $10.00 and more expensive products for $30.00 or more. The Nix kit is closer to the higher end, but well worth the extra cost. The least expensive treatments would be at home remedies. Everyone has a family member that swears by slathering the child’s head in mayonnaise or even kerosene. Who in their right mind puts kerosene on a child’s head? The cheapest method being the old fashioned way of picking through the hair with tweezers or just your fingernails, pulling out bugs and nits, and placing them in a bowl of water. Picking lice and nits manually takes hours upon hours. Those little lice are amazingly fast and great hiders. At the daycare center where I work, if a child has lice, I’ll usually do the old fashioned method if the mom and dad are struggling with treating at home. Some little ones sit better for a person other than their parents and I’m more than willing to help because I know how rough it can be. I don’t like this method, still it does get the job

Doctor Nanda says while the prescription medicine is more effective she still suggests trying the over the counter treatments first. "If we always use the most aggressive treatment than gradually we're going to lose control of the problem," says Nanda. A common misconception about using prescription treatment is that it's more dangerous, but Nanda says that's not the case. "They (lice treatments) all have different ways of attacking the lice. So most of them have different types of neurotoxins that kill the lice. It just has a slightly different toxin in it. It isn't more dangerous, says

Many writers decide to have one very clear theme present all throughout their novel. The beginning of the novel usually alludes to this theme and as it progresses it becomes more and clearer and clearer. By the end of the text, the author often binds the fulfilling and satisfying ending of the novel to their theme, which leaves the reader with a true understanding of the complete meaning of the text. Especially for the time of this piece, most writing has this specific style embedded in the text. Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his The Scarlet Letter, decides to make an aberration from this seeming norm.
A famous person once said “Judging a person doesn’t define who they are. It defines who YOU are.” Don’t judge someone by how they look comes out in both of the stories “The Lion and the Mouse” by Rob John and “Wonder” by R.J Palacio. Both of the stories have characters that are different from others. Both of the characters get judged, but are very helpful in the end.
