Guys, it’s just Science




 (These were pulled out of an AP Environmental Sciences textbook) Guys, it's just science. Single organisms depend on consistent inputs of energy in order to live, grow, and make babies. Literally everything beyond an organism can be seen as converting energy into an organized structure like sticks and those green things that grow on them. Like think of a whole forests ecosystem or whatever its called, the trees absorb water and carbon through the ground like a straw. But later, a deer grazes in tree leaves, and then after that a mountain lion devours the poor deer. At every stepping stone of this process, energy is changed by organisms into action and movement. And if you don't know what I mean by actions and movement, I mean that any type of PHYSICAL ACTIVITY that is done in order to achieve something, like an award that I've never gotten. 

Guys, its literally just science, the amount of energy thats there in a place depends on what life lives there. For real though, plants thrive in places like a rainforest since there is just so much water they can drink. Just like how I thrive at a buffet since there's just so much yummies around. Okay, but also when it comes to environment solar energy is also important. Like if you were to be in the Sahara desert, you wouldn't be able to spot a whole ecosystem of trees and plants. And thats because although the plants would get their vitamin D in, they wouldn't be hydrated queens. So, all you want to basically know from this is that ecosystems derive from varities of variables, that create and shape what type of organisms and cool trees there are.

    I really enjoyed reading this and how you wrote this like you’re teaching small kids about science. But you also had a lot of slang in it relating it to us as well. The fact that you mixed them both together made this a good piece

    I really liked how you simplified the information from this passage, it made it more interesting to read with the funny elements added throughout your version of the passage!

    You are one sassy speaker. I enjoyed the tone of your explanation, you included many conversational words like “literally” and “guys” that made it easy to imagine you chatting these ideas to a friend or group of them. Your use of humor is also quite enjoyable to read throughout this piece, with out of pocket statements like “hydrated queens” that lighten the mood a lot.

    Your use of casual language throughout really made the original text make sense to someone who had no knowledge of this beforehand and made the material easier to understand. Overall it was a very fun read and I enjoyed it.

The Controversy of Genetic Engineering

Image
      As of recently, scientists have been able to bring back the dire wolf back from extinction. This animal roamed our Earth over 10,000 years ago, and has now been brought back due to genetic engineering. But why? They say that this was a great achievement for science, but many are curious about what will happen forward? Does this mean that we can bring back any animal from extinction? Who's in charge of this powerful science?      Well let's start off from the basics. For those who do not know, genetic engineering is basically "the direct manipulation of DNA to alter an organisms characteristics in a certain way." On the surface, this can be seen as something that would be great. Not only can scientists enhance our food quality, but diseases such as cancer and defects can be treated all through genetic engineering. But with most things, it's sounds too good to be true. Many are skeptical of using genetic engineering. Since it's such a new invention, thi...

Question 4

    As Pocahontas says, "you think you own whatever land you land on, the Earth is just a dead thing that you can claim." Yet there's so many things about our Earth that prove that it's alive. The dead trees in the winter, reclaiming their leaves by the time Summer comes, the chirps you hear in the morning, the fresh animal footprints in the snow. These are all characteristics to show that our Earth is in fact alive. Yet us humans, are killing our Earth. Humans were never meant to be driving gasoline fueled cars that pollute our air, we were supposed to be wild animals, surviving with other wild animals. And those same wild animals that we were supposed to be living with, are now being trapped in enclosed cages by us, treating them as fun attractions instead of a sign of life.      For example, in The Clan of One Breasted Women. In this passage, it entails on how the government in the l960s were testing out nuclear weapons. The people living around these test si...

What is Water?

Image
    This week in class we read and analyzed This is Water by David Foster Wallace. We confirmed that his targeted audience was to college students, as he refers back to his younger self that was in college. I enjoyed this piece and wanted to talk a little bit more about the “water” metaphor that Wallace used. In the beginning of the text he starts off by telling us a fable of two young fishes “swimming along”. As they are swimming they run into an older fish who says to them, “morning boys, how’s the water?” Later the young fishes contemplate, what is water? If you think about it, fishes don’t know the outside world out of their “water”. They think that the water that they live in is just normal life. My take on this is that the young fishes represent college students who haven’t gotten a taste of the real world yet, hence them being in the water still. Too add on to this, he brings up another reoccurring metaphor about your “default setting”. The meaning behind  default ...
