When we hear the word “mummy” we usually think of horror movies, cartoons and our favorite dress up holiday “Halloween”, but we never really think of the deep significant value mummies have given our world. On a recent trip to the Houston Museum of Natural Science I discover the fascinating truth behind mummies. I had the great pleasure of exploring one of the most amazing exhibits called “Mummies of the World”, and got to learn many interesting things like what they stand for and most importantly

Since I found out that most of my friends and other organizers are afraid of the decision that BOG is about to make, I will first get them interested. I will take a stand to discuss what is going on, and ask them to join me with any ideas that they may have to reach out to other students on and off campus that we know. In order to meet our goal,

The threatened bog turtle is a very small turtle, averaging 3.1 to 4.5 inches in length (USFWS 2015z) and it is characterized by a light brown to ebony shell and bright yellow, orange, or red blotches on each side of the head (USFWS 2001).

There are various ways to communicate, but what is the best way to do so? Poetry is one mean of communication, which uses creative and figurative language in a rhythmical way to express distinct emotions.

Good vs evil. Shawshank redemption. Questions: 1. How does this movie convey the message of redemption?
