Callie and Thomas both go through a variety of situations. Along the way they meet many likeable and friendly people that help them out. Clare helps Callie and Gracie get away from Quarantine by explaining how they could get out of Adelaide “My friend’s son said the hole in the fence is up there” Clare is referring to a hole in the fence that leads them to a truck yard, where they are supposed to get onto a truck and get away from Adelaide. Callie, Gracie and Matt get help from Tran a skinny, short black haired, pale young woman older than Callie that is one of Matt’s friends. She helps them by allowing them to stay at her house for a night. Callie meets Agus after she had escaped from Quarantine, and he allows her to get into his car and “he opened the door and helped me up into the cabin” and he takes her to his house and introduces Callie to his wife Amalia. …show more content…
“Amalia was a nurse” said Agus to Callie and so she treated Callie’s wound, even though she didn’t have anaesthetic “Amalia was careful, but it still hurt horribly.” The couple helped Callie greatly they fed her, let her wash herself, gave her painkillers for her leg, let her stay at their house and when she was leaving they gave her” a backpack, an old sleeping bag, food, water, even a creased paper map.” Thomas also had helpers, one in which one was Newt who stuck up for Thomas when Gally wanted him punished for running into the maze.
In common both Callie and Thomas have enemies. Thomas’s enemies are Grievers and
Gally. Gally doesn’t like Thomas, because he believes that all the change that happened to the Glade was caused by Thomas. Thomas runs away from grievers as they sting you and cause your veins to become dark, almost black and your behaviour becomes violent and aggressive causing you to be dangerous. The Flair is the opposite. Symptoms of the Flair are your skin becomes “soft glow”, becoming phosphors, memory loss and you are “no longer human” you basically lose everything that makes you you. Therefore, the Flair is one of Callies enemies. Unfortunately, Callie has more than 2 enemies, her enemies include the Quarantine who is trying to capture Gracie, Matt and Callie as they are infected, or have been helping/helped the infected get away from Quarantine. Travis and Koni are both enemies of Callie as well. Travis held Callie captive, because they were trying to find Gracie, who is infected and Koni is a bounty hunter after a reward that tried to capture Callie, Gracie and Matt. Both Callie and Thomas are running from somewhere or someone/s. Thomas and the Gladers are running away from the maze and Callie is running away from Quarantine. They both have many enemies, but they also have supportive friends. Thomas’s friends are Alby, Mihno, Teresa, Newt and Chuck who are all his friends that support each other and help out each other. Callie has Matt as her supportive friend who she sticks with, and they both look out for each other and help each other out, but they also have some romance together, while Teresa and Thomas don’t in the film. Both characters face many obstacles Callie has the transitional wall which keeps them out of the zone, similarly Thomas has the maze that keeps him inside the maze/glade. Both characters show determination and success. Thomas gets out of the maze and Callie enters the zone.

In 1348, people from all around the world suffered from one of the most deadliest and cruel diseases known as the Black Death. The plague killed so many people in Europe that some of the villages were abandoned and the population of some cities was decreased by half. Giovanni Boccaccio was an Italian writer and poet who eye-witnessed and described the horrors caused by the Black Death in his novels Decameron. In Boccaccio’s work, the sick people were left behind to survive on their own and even children were left behind by their parents because they were sick. Unfortunately, from all the people who died during the epidemic, the peasants were those who actually benefited from it. The Black Death end up with political,
No matter what, where, or who you are, water is a necessary component to keeping any organism alive. Although water is essential for life, in many places, clean drinking water is hard to find. There are many consequences to drinking contaminated water. Every year, three to five million people are attacked by water-borne diseases and over 100,000 of them die. One fatal disease that can kill within hours is cholera.
As people tried to make sense of the Plague, they reacted extremely and made irrational decisions, such as laying blame on outsiders or on themselves, like the flagellants did. One of the immediate extreme reactions to the Plague was hedonism which was when people “lived for the moment” so they would indulge in sexual and alcoholic orgies. Another immediate reaction was flight of the wealthy and powerful to their country estates.An important group arose during the Plague called the flagellants, they believed that the Plague was sent by god for the sins they had committed. The flagellants tried to gain forgiveness from God by hurting themselves. They would usually march in groups of 200 to 300 people but occasionally the groups would become as large
As you exit the bus, another passenger next to you starts to cough, and then you hold the handrail as you exit the bus. Since you’re late getting home, you take a shortcut through a field to get home quicker. These three simple acts just exposed you to bacteria, viruses, and insects that could cause illness or even death. Infectious diseases, also known as communicable disease, are spread by germs. Germs are living things that are found in the air, in the soil, and in water. You can be exposed to germs in many ways, including touching, eating, drinking or breathing something that contains a germ. Animal and insect bites can also spread germs.1
Vaccinations are a particular type of disease preventer with a lot flaws. Vaccines should be non-compulsory. people should have a choice if they want to inject their children with an inactive disease that's up to them. No medicine is perfect most of the time vaccines have had a positive outcome on the majority of the world’s population that have had vaccines. Although the percentage of incidents are low they can still be serious. People say vaccines can lead to autism and other symptoms.
Vaccines save us from being infected with viruses. They save approximately 2.5 million people from death every year. However, while they help save lives, vaccines still have both minor and severe side effects. This can result in nausea, severe sickness, and in rare cases, death. Every year, 3,000 to 4,500 people in the United States are hospitalized due to vaccine side effects. It is extremely important for all communities to be informed about the side effects of vaccines and what causes them. Also, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that the influenza vaccine is only 48% effective, due to constant mutation of the virus (Scutti, 2017). This means, the influenza vaccine does not work on all
Childhood vaccinations have received a lot of media in the past few years, and parents continue to question whether or not they should have their children vaccinated. This topic is a very important issue because it seems to be a trend in our society where parents are not vaccinating their children. This then leads their children becoming more susceptible to unnecessary diseases/viruses that can be prevented with vaccines. The focus of the following articles was on the association of the specific vaccines measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), and vaccines containing thimerosal, which has been a speculated reason for the cause of autism. This contentious hypothesis has many parents failing to vaccinate their children; this is especially true of many friends and family members of mine. They believe that vaccines can cause autism, and I want to prove otherwise.
In 1665, in the Kingdom of England, there was a great disease going through the kingdom that killed over 100,000 people, it was passed throughout the population by tiny bugs that were everywhere and were nearly impossible to avoid. This epidemic is known as the Great Plague of London, 1665 and it is the strand of the Bubonic Plague that tore through London, killing about 15% of London’s population which was around 100,000 people. This Plague was one of the worst diseases to tear through Europe in the 1300’s - the 1600’s. It hit England especially hard because they were on an island and had to where to go and couldn't avoid the spreading of the disease.
Secretory Diarrhea (Cholera) Abstract: Cholera is an acute, bacterial infection of the small intestine caused by the Vibrio cholerae bacteria. The Vibrio cholerae bacterium, after attacking the human intestine, is responsible for devastating diarrhea resulting in severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. The key cause of this is the ADP ribosylation of the human signaling protein Gsα, catalyzed by the cholera toxin, which produces a biochemical cascade.
Assessment of the common cold and flu virus yields knowledge that they are very similar in nature, with the flu effecting the individual’s body at a greater severity. Actions to confront the two is a yearly endeavor and at times requiring identical techniques of prevention. The cold still has no noticeable improvements in its treatments other than the pacification of the ailments’ symptoms.
Pandemics cause an increase in medicine and the health care industry. When a pandemic outbreak occurs hospitals are overflowing, and researchers are hard at work searching for a cure. The Spanish Flu was no different. Doctors stated they were too busy trying to fight the disease to record the overflow of patients. Drug stores businesses increased during the Spanish Flu while other businesses were failing. Hospitals were so overcrowded that other buildings had to be converted into hospitals. Although the health care industry was booming; it suffered shortages of workers just like other industries, when the physicians themselves contracted the flu. Due to the shortage of physicians some hospitals were staffed with medical school students.
