Before Erik could finish reading the paper, he rushed out of his house before he would be late to work. It was a regular busy day in the city. As he came closer to work, reporters with cameras were blinding him as they snapped all the pictures they could through Erik windows on the side of his car. Ignoring all of the press and media, he walked through …show more content…

This is a big step,” The boss told him. “Thank you, sir,” Erik replied. He shook everyone’s hands, listening to their congratulations. After that, he put on his lab coat and began working on his other projects. The next day, his phone couldn’t stop ringing. Erik was curious as to why he had so many phone calls, but as he did create a revolution in the medical world, he wasn’t so shocked. He thought the phone calls could wait, he needed to get to work. He walked outside and as usual, picked up the newspaper lying on the ground. His heart dropped the second he read the title. BREAKING: CURE IS ‘DEADLY’ The now famous cure discovered earlier this week, has been found to be ‘beyond deadly’ according to officials. The drug doesn’t stop at killing Alzheimer’s cells, it continues killing every cell in the human body. If the gas based drug was used, it could cause catastrophic damage to Earth. Erik had no TV or radio, this was the reason why his phone was ringing all morning, the cure had been a failure. John quickly jumped in his car and drove to the lab.

Over four million older Americans have Alzheimer’s, and that number is expected to triple in the next twenty years as more people live into their eighties and nineties. (Johnson, 1989).

    Alzheimer’s disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that becomes more prevalent with age. Discovered by German psychologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906, it is associated with a memory loss, speech impediment, and dementia. In Canada alone, 500,000 people suffer from this terrible disease and the number of cases is predicted to double by 2031[7]. Worldwide, nearly 44 million people are believed to be experiencing Alzheimer’s disease and every 68 seconds, someone in the United States of America develops Alzheimer’s [8]. Alzheimer’s disease is also the sixth leading cause of death in North America. Furthermore, it is the only leading cause of death that is still increasing in prevalence. Not only fatal, Alzheimer’s is also severely crippling for all the friends and family that are affected by the patient. The memory loss and dementia that is directly linked to Alzheimer’s disease can cause the patient to forget the identity of their loved ones. For the people that have known the patient for many years, this can be very devastating. The long and terrible journey from an able-bodied and functioning member of society to a barely self-sufficient person is not a pleasant one. Undoubtedly, Alzheimer’s disease needs to be cured not only for those suffering from the affliction, but for their loved ones who have to endure the fateful journey as well.

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurocognitive disorder and a common form of dementia that will affects a person’s memory, way of thinking and their behavior (Alzheimer’s Association, 2014). AD typically develops slowly and the more time a person has the disease the worse the symptoms will become. AD in its later stages becomes so severe that people with the disease cannot even do simple daily tasks. Although there is no cure there are still ways to prevent, delay, and possibly treat the disease.

Because Alzheimer’s worsens over time, those with it tend to struggle with completing daily tasks especially elderly people. Given that there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, the treatments available slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. It is not known what causes Alzheimer's, however, those with Alzheimer's have been found to have abnormal amounts of protein (amyloid plaques) and fibres.(The amyloid plaques and fibres are found in regions of the brain where problem solving and thinking take place e.g The cerebrum.)

    Habits of the Creative Minds is a simple textbook with a particular twist. I began reading the book thinking it was going to be a basic textbook, but the author,Richard E. Miller and Ann Jurecic, changed the tone of the book and put it into a metaphor. This metaphor was about the reader in your writing, or for anyone reading should feel like Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The reader should be reading, and figuratively fall into the reading, by this the authors means the reader should not want to put that book down. They should be engulfed in the book and read from cover to cover. The attention must be maintained and the best way to do this is by making the writing unique. The authors of this book puts
