William went to school on a hot sweltering summer day. Sweat dripped down his forehead. When he got to school he stuffed his lunch inside his suffocating locker. He didn’t know that the hot temperature was causing his food to become rotten over the past few hours. When it was time for lunch William grabbed his lunch and entered the cafeteria. Meanwhile, inside his body… “ Yesss!! They’re not getting in!!! Woohoo!!” shouted Commander Immune. Team Food Poisoning was aggravated that they couldn’t get past the skin membrane. The skin membrane kept them out. Commander Immune sent a message to Membrane saying: “Keep up the good work. Don’t fail me now.” Little did Commander Immune know that the skin membrane was working as hard as he could already. Membrane was just about to give up when the Food Poisoner's captain, Captain Invader shouted to the crew of viruses, “ Alright thats enough for today.” Membrane was relieved. “It’s not like we’re going to be able to break the walls of the Skin Membrane today,” Captain Invader murmured to himself. “Uhh, that boy’s immune system is so good. How are we going to invade the body? Aha, I know now! Minions come here, so heres what we’ll do…” The next day, it was the same temperature as yesterday and William stuffed his sandwich into his suffocating locker… again. Lunch time quickly came and William grabbed his sandwich from his locker. Inside the sandwich was hiding the Food Poisoner from yesterday, but little did William know that his body was in danger of having a stomach ache once the sandwich has entered his body. William picked up his sandwich and took a big bite of his sandwich. Crunch. Crunch. Chew. Gulp! The germs were in. Captain Invader yelled,“Yes, we got in! Now we’ll just... ... middle of paper ... ...nd bad cells. He felt William’s stomach tense. He then instructed Officer B-cell to use his special Y shaped antibodies to attach themselves to the enemy. The antibodies hang on to each invader like a price tag. Officer K-cell quickly kills all the invaders and sighs in relief. They found out who the invaders are and put their name on the list for Officer M-cell to remember them so the next time they try to invade William’s body the Food Poisoners will be attacked directly. “We do work pretty well together. I wouldn’t want to kill you anyway because then i’d have to deal with another cell who doesn’t know anything about anything.” Officer K-cell said with a smile and he patted Officer T-cells back. William ran to the bathroom and out came all the germs and the rotten pieces of sandwich into the toilet. They came out the exact way they came in.
So as the morning Sun rose. The light beamed on Christopher's face. The warmth of the sun welcomed him to a new day and woke up in a small house in Los Angeles. Christopher is a tall, male, that loves technology and video games. He stretched and went to the restroom it was 9 o'clock and he was thankful it was spring break and didn’t have to go to school. Christopher made his way to the kitchen trying not wake up his parents and made himself breakfast. He served himself cereal Honey Bunches of Oats to be exact with almond milk. Then he took a shower and watched some YouTube videos before doing his homework.
Hooded Americanism: The First Century of the Ku Klux Klan: 1865 to the Present by David Chalmers records the history of the Ku Klux Klan quite bluntly, all the way from its creation following the civil war, to the early 1960’s. The author starts the book quite strongly by discussing in detail many acts of violence and displays of hatred throughout the United States. He makes a point to show that the Klan rode robustly throughout all of the country, not just in the southern states. The first several chapters of the book focus on the Klan’s creation in 1865. He goes on to discuss the attitude of many Americans following the United State’s Civil War and how the war shaped a new nation. The bulk of the book is used to go through many of the states, and express the Klan’s political influence on both the local and state governments. The author starts with Texas and Oklahoma, and goes through the history of the Klan geographically, finishing with New Jersey and Washington. The author stresses that the KKK did not just commit acts of violence towards minorities, but also carried political power. He continues to discuss the impact of the Klan on Civil Rights movements in the 1960’s, and various other important political controversies between the 1920’s and 1970’s. Towards the middle of the book, David M. Chalmers focuses on portraying the feelings of governments and state legislatures, as well as normal citizens towards the Klan. To do this more effectively, the author uses excerpts and quotes from editorials and newspapers, along with several dozen pictures. The conclusion of the book was used mainly as an overview of all of the major incidents and deaths involving the Klan, and how their persistence has allowed them to still exist today despite a lack of resources and support.
The researchers sent soldiers to retrieve the prisoners. They were shocked to see that one prisoner had ripped his own flesh off and killed him self soaked in a pool of blood.
As the purple virus enters in Bob's body by using the knee as an entry way, tiny platelets rush to cover the gash and stop the bleeding. In the wet, warm, red bloodstream, red blood cells and white blood cells flow through it. They travel through the stream with the assistance of the heart.
The human mind interprets thought in a manner unique to their species. Each thought is expressed as an emotion, whether it be jubilation, sadness, anger or hate. The latter of these emotions is what I believe to be the strongest feeling that the human being can experience. In the face of hatred each individual reacts in their own peerless fashion. Some run in fear, while many speak out against such injustice; yet others react in a much different way—they embrace the hate. A prime example of a group of individuals that thrived in such an environment would be the second movement of the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan, reestablished in 1915, was not originally the potent force that they came to be in the middle part of the 1920’s. During the first five years of existence, the Klan only increased by four thousand; but during the next eight years nearly ten million men and women joined the ranks of the Ku Klux Klan. What events transpired that caused such a dramatic increase in Klan membership in such a limited time span? Leading Klan theorists of the 1920’s often pondered this question and it is my intention to examine their findings. Three prominent causes seemed to be found in these findings: the post-war feelings of many Americans, the natural aversion to anything foreign, and the various propaganda spread about and by the Klan.
During the war, twice as many men died from disease and wound infection as died from a bullet in the battlefield; this was due to unsanitary and crowded conditions at the campsites. Clara cared ...
Medical science had not yet discovered the importance of antiseptics in preventing infection. Water was contaminated and soldiers sometimes ate unripened or spoiled food. There weren’t always clean rags available to clean wounds. Because of frequent shortages of water, surgeons often went days without washing their hands or instruments. So now germs were passing from patient to patient.
1. Common belief in inequality and separate interests of races, desire to promote the interests of the white race.
Despite the civil rights amendments being passed over 40 years ago, racism continues to thrive in America. A good example of this is the southern-based organization called the Ku Klux Klan. Immediately following the Civil War, this group came about during the Reconstruction Era. Because of the ratification of the 13th amendment, ending slavery in the south, the KKK emerged with a cause that has yet to be put to rest…the rise of white power.

On February 12th The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded by a multiracial group of activists, who answered "The Call," in the New York City, NY. They initially called themselves the National Negro Committee. Founded in 1909 The NAACP, or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has been active in its attempts to break legal ground and forge better opportunities for African Americans. At the beginning in 1909, some twenty persons met together in New York City for the purpose of utilizing the public interest in the Lincoln Centennial in behalf of African Americans. The history, function, purpose, and current activities of the organization is important.to work on behalf of the rights of colored people including Native Americans, African Americans and Jews.

No matter how much my throat pleads for moisture, I cannot. I repeat to myself, Run, run, run. I have to push against the pain that courses through my bloodstream, trying to take me down—I won’t let it. I have to do this.
Galenic practices that originated in the second century were still the predominant medical concepts almost fourteen hundred years later, and with little advancement beyond the humoral theory that promoted exsanguinations as cure, they further weakening those afflicted with fever and assured they did not survive. The chapter entitled Deadly Fevers, Deadly Doctors is, by McNeill’s own admission, rife with modern criticism and judgment that, “are not up to the standards of the historical profession” (63). That being said, the humor he injects in this chapter keeps the reader from setting aside what could easily devolve into a depressing clinical narrative of the brutish death that accompanied yellow fever. The tone may not be up to academic standards, but the research is, at least for the European contribution. Whether one agrees with his arguments or not, McNeil has proven the relevance of disease study in attempts to reconstruct historical contexts. The main take away from this chapter is that the confusion surrounding the transmission of diseases is part of the reason armies were sent over and over again in spite of the infectious disaster that repeatedly cut through the ranks, at great expense both in men and in
NAACP The civil rights movement in the United States has been a long, primarily nonviolent struggle to bring full civil rights and equality under the law to all Americans. It has been made up of many movements, though it is often used to refer to the struggles between 1945 and 1970 to end discrimination against African-Americans and to end racial segregation, especially in the U.S. South. It focuses on that particular struggle, rather than the comparable movements to end discrimination against other ethnic groups within the United States or those struggles, such as the women's liberation, gay liberation, and disabled rights movements, that have used similar tactics in pursuit of similar goals. The civil rights movement has had a lasting impact on United States society, both in its tactics and in increased social and legal acceptance of civil rights. One of the most important organizations of this era was the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).
