    "Everyone is influenced by their childhood. The things I write about and illustrate come from a vast range of inputs, from the earliest impressions of a little child, others from things I saw yesterday and still others from completely out of the blue, though no doubt they owe their arrival to some stimulus, albeit unconscious. I have a great love of wildlife, inherited from my parents, which show through in my subject matter, though always with a view to the humorous—not as a reflective device but as a reflection of my own fairly happy nature.

    When she sees the beauty of the forest, she is shocked and totally integrated into the nature. Goodall is shocked by the nature’s beauty. “ as I struggled afterward to recall the experience, that self was utterly absent” (Goodall 147). Goodall lost herself in a long time, however at that point, Goodall recovers herself and understands her spirit power. She wants to be together with the nature and become the part of it. “Utterly absent” represents that not only she finds her real position ,but also she gets inner peace at that moment and redefined her self value. In addition, though the Gombe forest, she finally releases her self and starts the new life. “That afternoon, in a flash of ‘outsight’ I had known timelessness and quiet ecstasy, sensed a truth of which mainstream science is

  • Analysis Of The Yellow Wallpaper By Charlotte Perkins Gilman

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    “This passage describes the narrator’s spiritual nadir, and may be said to represent her transition from conscious struggle against the daylight world to her immersion in the nocturnal world of unconscious-or, in other terms, from idle fancy to empowering imagination” (Johnson 525). Which was supported when Jane attempted to fight the urge to engage in her unconscious state. “And it is like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern. I don’t like it a bit. I wonder – I begin to think- I wish John would take me away from here!” (Gilman 92). This exhibits the struggle Jane was facing while trying to maintain her conscious state of mind. However, John felt that if she was taken out of her environment she would go crazy, which ironically led to her slow decline into the unconscious mind. “There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down” (Gilman 89). It was here that Jane began giving human characteristics to inanimate objects. As Gilman’s story continues, Jane gradually becomes more entranced by her imagination. “There is one marked peculiarity about this paper, a thing nobody seems to notice but myself, and that is that it changes as the light changes” (Gilman 94). Displaying the idea that Jane was immersed in her unconscious world, validating the Johnson’s argument that Jane progressively develops into her unconscious mind throughout the

  • The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

    When Jane arrives at the summer estate with her husband, a physician of some repute, she immediately begins to fantasize that the location is haunted, at the least strange, she can “feel it” (479). We begin to see that something is occurring with her mentally, that possibly she is the one feeling strange. “This is our first intimation that all is not right, though whether with the house, or with Jane, we have yet to be told. However, the fact that she tells us at the beginning that this is not a haunted house, suggests that the "queerness" will lie with her” (Kerr). This is again reinforced in the next lines when she confesses that she get “unreasonably angry” with her husband (479). She is sure that she “never use to be this way” (479). This is the effects of her suffering from postpartum depression, finally falling under a psychosis by story’s end.

  • Analysis Of Elegy For The Giant Tortoise By Margaret Atwood

    188 Words  | 1 Pages

    I found that Elegy for the Giant Tortoises by Margaret Atwood had a more powerful depiction of extinction. Through the poem Atwood demonstrates that humans have a tendency of caring more about species that are extinct, but at the same time do very little to prevent these other species from ending up that way in the beginning. In the last stanza, Atwood says, “the relic of what we have destroyed” (line 23) probably had the most impact on me. This is because we tend to value the image of the species more once they are extinct rather than honoring their actual lives, as well as honoring them while they were living. Human activity contributes to the extinction of species like the giant tortoise, in which Atwood demonstrates that we lessen these

  • Drosophila Essay

    1036 Words  | 3 Pages

    Drosophila is a small fruit fly, it is about 3mm long. This insect is a model organism most commonly used in developmental biology and genetics. The Drosophila fruit flies are especially suited in experiments because of their short life cycle which consist of two weeks; they easily reproduce many offspring, and are also cheap1. The drosophila contains four chromosomes that can easily be experimented on, which allows in-depth observation. In this experiment, Drosophila melanogaster were used to identify the properties of Mendelian inheritance. The Law of Segregation states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation and randomly unite during fertilization and is carried by every individual. The Law of Independent Assortment states that each parent randomly passes on alleles to their offspring. Although, the Law of Independent assortment does not take in account the patters of sex-linked inheritance.

    Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as fruit fly, is mainly used as a human disease model organism for genetic analysis. It was during the 20th century that D. melanogaster was considered as the most significant model organism. D. melanogaster is small in size, and it has a short life span with a good reproduction rate, perfect for raising in large number and generation counts for genetics experiments. Additionally, it has a small genome which makes it easier for geneticists to keep track of changes in molecular level. Geneticists were able to uncover many human genetic diseases through the homologous genome of human and fruit flies. It started out with a small group of people led by Thomas Hunt Morgan at Columbia University. Many principles and rules of transmission genetics that are still being used in the generation of today were established in the laboratory of Dr. Morgan. Many animal models were being used before fruit flies. Using the whole-animal as a model set limitations to the types and amounts of experiments can be conducted. The use of Drosophila was able to led geneticists to overcome these limitations with tremendous promises in finding greater quality results. It was Frank Lutz, who wrote many papers on Drosophila, which introduced Drosophila to Dr. Morgan. Many experimental works on plants and animals were carried out on Drosophila instead. Through Drosophila, the discovery of mutation, recombination, relocation of chromosome, and many others were made possible. The cinnabar, cn, gene encodes an enzyme essential in the eye color formation of drosophila. It codes for the enzyme, kynurenine-3-monooxygenase, that is essential in the biological pathway of ommochrome for the brown pi...

    Forensic Entomology or the study of insects as they relate to medicolegal investigations is a relatively young yet fast growing science. Insects can be used in a variety of ways to prove or disprove facts of a case. It is up to the crime scene investigator to properly collect and preserve this evidence until an expert in the field of entomology can inspect the evidence and give their expert opinion. It is then up to the prosecution not to get the evidence thrown out due to showing excessive amounts of the same evidence or showing the jury inflammatory evidence that is hard for most people to stomach. Chances are as a common citizen, most people would find a majority of entomological evidence inflammatory due to the graphic nature it tends to
