Theories on Dinosaur Extinction What killed the dinosaurs? Several theories have been brought up over time to answer this question. It has been of vast interest to many scientists how creatures the size of the dinosaurs could have been wiped out of existence. Proposed Theories Climate Change Theory Some scientists propose that climate change was killing the dinosaurs before the famous asteroid struck. Fossil evidence shows that the average temperature had dropped from 25 degrees Celsius
layers under the earths surface. However, around 65 million years everything changed to cause the extinction of those wondrous animals. Most scientists think that an asteroid hit the earth and wiped them out. But there's a new theory, Professor Gerta Keller, who is also a Paleontologist wrote that, while her theory may not be as riveting as a massive space object hitting Earth, it answers the questions that she said didn't seem to fit in the “wipeout” theory thats been publicized since the early 1980s

Helen Keller: A Medical Marvel or Evidence of the I-Function? Everyone cried a little inside when Helen Keller, history's notorious deaf-blind-mute uttered that magic word 'wa' at the end of the scientifically baffling classic true story.

Events are revealed throughout the course of the play that further complicate a seemingly straightforward
Learning from Helen Keller "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -Helen Keller Helen Keller was one of the most successful people in the world. She helped in so many ways to change many people's lives. She was a very humble person despite her successes. I want to tell you about a story I read which touched me and shows what a special person Helen Keller was. In the summer of 1950, a woman in Italy was asked by a neighbor to pick up two women at a nearby hotel. The reason why her

Annie helped Helen up into a nearby cherry tree because they were the easiest to climb, and she ran back to the Keller house to get some food. Helen promised to stay there and keep still. While Annie was away, the sky suddenly turned dark, which Helen could tell, because the warmth of the sun turned into coolness. Helen knew the smell of a rainstorm, and was positive
when they are young see the world from a more optimistic point of view and that is true for Chris and Anne. As people get old and have their own kids they are thought of to be more rational in their actions in order to protect their children.

It did not matter if they were standing in a checkout line, sitting in a waiting room, or waiting for a bus. As Helen Keller wrote, “so long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain…. I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.” I’m sure her children all remember from

Deaf Culture In mainstream American society, we tend to approach deafness as a defect. Helen Keller is alleged to have said, "Blindness cuts people off from things; deafness cuts people off from people." (rnib.org) This seems a very accurate description of what Keller's world must have been. We as hearing people tend to pity deaf people, or, if they succeed in the hearing world, admire them for overcoming a severe handicap. We tend to look at signing as an inferior substitute for "real" communication
Helen Keller was born June 27th, 1880 in Tuscumbia, a village in Alabama. Even though she was a deaf and blind woman, she still went to school. Helen Keller had to overcome being deaf and blind, and she did so with a great attitude. It was more difficult for her to learn than it was for other students.
