The Controversial Views in Kate Chopin's The Awakening Kate Chopin's The Awakening is truly a novel that stands out from the rest. From the moment it was published, it has been caused women to examine their beliefs. The fact that The Awakening was shunned when first published, yet now taught in classrooms across the country is proof that The Awakening is full of rebellious and controversial ideas. One of the main themes explored in The Awakening is that of a woman's

During this time, however, Fleming did meet with Howard Florey, who would later take on a vital role in the development of penicillin. By the mid 1930s, the advent of sulfa-drugs essentially ended all of Fleming's research on penicillin. However, during this time period, Howard Florey

Sir Alexander Fleming changed the world of medicine not only in his days but also in the world today. We have the medicines and antibiotics that we have today because of Alexander Fleming. His discovery was much needed in the world and I hate to think where we would be in the medicine world if he hadn’t discovered penicillin. Alexander Fleming was born on August 6, 1881 in Darvel, Ayrshire, Scotland. He was born on Lochfield Farm, which was his family’s farm. Alex was the seventh of eight children

briefly outline how Penicillin’s discovery contributed historically, scientifically and in the military, particularly in the Second World War. The history of Penicillin’s discovery can be accredited to fate, luck or just poor hygiene. It was Alexander Fleming who happened across Penicillin in September 1928 at St Mary’s Hospital Medical School (Wood 2010, ¶14).

Fleming’s work was later expanded by Howard Florey and Ernst Chain and their team at Oxford University beginning in 1938, about ten years after Fleming’s first findings. They were able to transform penicillin as a curiosity in the lab and antiseptic to the life-saving antibiotic we know it as today. Howard Florey was deemed at an early age by his older sister who was a medical student at the time to be the next “Pasteur” due to his interest in pursuing medical research. Florey then achieved much

drug many people use to relieve pain. But many people don’t know where it came from. The discovery of penicillin was actually an accident! Alexander Fleming is credited with the discovery of penicillin but Howard Florey and Ernst Chain did further research. When Alexander Fleming left for vacation in September of 1928 his lab was a complete mess. Fleming returned to his laboratory one month later he examined every petri dish that was covered in mold. One petri dish was full of the staphylococci culture

Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet and the most recent Much Ado About Nothing by Joss Whedon have definitely bring valuable new readings to the text. Embracing this trend, Richard III (1995) by Richard Loncraine shifts its background to 1930s Britain. Starring Ian McKellen as Richard, the movie makes an undeniable connection to Nazi Germany; very details include costume design, set and prop, and cinematography choices all closely relate Richard to Hitler, an equivalent villain from modern history. The choice

Have you ever read a novel in which a character is talked about often but never appears or appears but for a brief moment? At times you may think nothing of that character, you could assume they add nothing to the context of the novel and are placed to fill up a couple pages, but on the contrary. In some works of literature a character who does not appear at all can have a significance presence. In J.D Salinger’s novel “ The Catcher in the Rye”Holden the main character’s brother, Allie never appears

Justifying Reproductive Cloning for Logistical Motives In this age of technology and innovation, what was once science fiction is now becoming a reality. Human reproductive cloning is on the forefront for providing prospective parents with a new mode of reproduction. However, with the concept of reproductive cloning comes an unprecedented set of ethical issues. Issues especially focused on how cloning may affect the child’s right to an open future are highlighted by philosophers such as Dena Davis

extinct for a reason and who are we to say that it is time for them to roam to earth again?      Another type of cloning that is now being investigated is the use of biotechnology to help infertile couples have children. Even “Ian Wilmut, the scientist who cloned Dolly and has come out publicly against human cloning, was not trying to help sheep have genetically related children”(Thomas 47). This technique to impregnate infertile couples is basically the same that they are using
