Turner syndrome, also known as Monosomy X, is caused by the deletion of the second X chromosome in females. This can be a partial deletion or a complete deletion. It is caused by a random error called nondisjunction, which is “the failure of sister chromatids to separate during or after meiosis” (Biology Online, 2008). This can lead to an abnormal amount of chromosomes. In this case, it leads to an abnormality in the sex chromosomes leaving the woman with one functioning X chromosome. While the specific

Fading Childhood Once upon a time there was a town, where children played all over. During the day, children would be playing games in the driveway, yards, and cul-de-sac. Voices of children could be heard by the creek. At night they would chase fireflies and their tiny shadows covered the roads. They would play together until they heard the call from their parents for bed. They’d sleep happily from playing all day under the trees. This is not a made up story but memories of many people’s childhoods

This essay that I am writing right now is going to be over the Nat Turner Rebellion. The need for slaves was growing, therefore the slave work was becoming more often, and more harsh. Despite the overwhelming African American to white ratio, it was very uncommon for slaves to revolt. Due to this, no one expected the rebellion. In Southampton County, on August 21, 1831, a slave named Nat Turner led a rebellion against his owner’s family and the people that live around them. This caused people

This excerpt was taken from Nat Turner’s Confessions edited by Steven Mintz, Turner details his relationship with his master and what led to his decision to revolt in 1831.

The revolt lasted two days but Nate was not captured until six weeks after. He was then tried for insurrection. Thomas Ruffin Gray

In history, a lot of great man have fallen do to pride and selfishness, In the bible it says Lucifer clearly turned out to be so awed with his own particular excellence, knowledge, power, and position that he started to want for himself the respect and transcendence that had a place with God alone. The transgression that ruined Lucifer was self-created pride. I used that lesson from the bible to say that pride can lead to major life consequences. In fences by Agust Wilson we see a perfect example

When I was younger, I hated reading, because I was too slow and never good at it. As I would look at some of my classmates, I noticed how fast they were at the reading and how easily they understood the reading. I remember thinking to myself that I wanted to be a good reader like them one day. At the time, of my fifth grade self I was not an avid reader; it wasn’t until the book Marley and Me that changed my perspective. Ever since I was a little girl I had a very hard time with reading. My mom

“Physical strength in a woman - that's what I am.” Tina Turner once said this quote. With this quote she showed that through all the struggles that she had been through, she was still able to sing and dance happily. Tina Turner didn’t start off with a great career for singing.

I was so excited, that right when we pulled into my driveway, I started building my invention: A piano page turner. My brother plays piano, and he always has trouble turning the page while playing. The best turner on the internet was over $300, and I knew there was a better solution. I started to make it out of legos, and put my heart and soul into making the page turner. After a week or two, I was done, but still made some changes to improve my invention afterwards. When it was the day
