Medusa.
On top of Mt Olympus, the body of Zeus was found, and he was murdered.
There were three clues that at the scene of the crime: a feather, an
olive branch and a broken string from a lyre, and someone had stolen
Zeus's thunderbolt. As a detective, I am here to prove that medusa did
not commit such crime. Medusa can easily be charge of this crime, but
she did not kill Zeus. She is very much innocent.
Before Medusa was this ugly creature "monstrous" (Adams 283). She was
very beautiful. Her hair was her chief glory ("Medusa"). Medusa has
two more other sibling and together they were name "Gorgon" (Adams
283). Medusa could get any man that she wanted because she was the
most beautiful one of all. Her mother and father were "Phorkys" and
"Keto" ("Medusa"). "Medusa was the only mortal out the three. She
lived in the north where no one visits"("Medusa"). Medusa did not have
any friend. A terrible monster, Medusa, (The Greek Creatures) ask
Athena for permission to visit the south, so that she could see the
sun. Athena refused because she thought Medusa was trying to take her
man. So then, Athena sent perseus to kill her.
Medusa was one creature that turn living thing into stone because
Athena put a spell on her. Perseus then killed her. He cut her head
off and gave it to Athena because he was in her favor to kill her.
Medusa is not apart of any of the information that was found at the
scene of the crime.
Another reason being is that Cronus is the father of Zeus and he had a
problem. Cronus had six children, and when they were newborns, he ate
them all except Zeus because his wife tricked him into eating a rock
("Cronus"). I think he regrets not eating Zeus because he became a
powerful god, so he decides to kill him, and left behind odd evidences
that will not point back at him.
Medusa should have never been a suspect to this murder. She is
innocent because Perseus killed her. Please agree with me with all the
evidences I presented saying that Medusa did not kill Zeus. She may be
an evil looking person who turns people into stone ("The Greek
Creatures"). Medusa actions proved that "To forget a wrong is the best
revenge," which said by John Ray (Stevenson). Medusa expresses these
actions to what Athena did to her. When Medusa was turn into this ugly
woman with "beautiful ringlets into hissing serpents", ("The Greek
Creatures") she did not go after Athena: she went back to her place of
... fight the disease. It is crucial that regulation be a necessary component of gene therapy research and applications. In hopes that the government can regulate and can receive this treatment, not restricting it to people that has serious genetic diseases. Gene therapy will change the field of medicine from what it is today. As scientist discovers more genes and their functions, the potential of this treatment is limitless. Though gene therapy is an auspicious treatment choice for numerous diseases (including inherited disorders, some types of cancer, and certain viral infections), the procedure remains precarious and is still under study to make sure that it will be safe and effective. Thus government regulators and scientist must take a lead role in adopting a practical approach to address these issues and determining the correct procedures for dealing with them.
For as long as I can remember, there has been a woman, who goes by Medusa. She is from Athens, Greece. Medusa obeyed all the Greek gods & goddess, all except the goddess of wisdom, which is my official title. I am Athena, goddess of wisdom. Medusa is established as woman who is all about herself. Throughout my tale you will understand why they conceive this opinion.
Human gene therapy is a method used in the medical field that treats diseases at a molecular level, by solving the source of the problem; our genes. Today, diseases and disorders are commonly treated by solving the symptoms, the surface of the problem. Many disorders and diseases are caused by defective proteins and within those defective proteins are damaged and defective genes. These defective genes can be treated through gene therapy. Gene therapy is not new and has been developed and improved by researchers for the past couple years. Being an experimental technique, gene therapy also has its pros and cons, but so far is showing positive and rising success rates.
Adolf Hitler was a tyrant leader in Germany. He was the head of the Nazi party and his aggressive foreign policy is considered to be a large factor attributing to World War II. The great depression in Germany created opportunity for Hitler. Germany was suffering and the people were willing to entertain any different options to make life better (Wikipedia ). Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany, giving him power over the legislative and executive branches of the government. This power was the beginning of his empire. The other existing parties at the time were intimidated and disbanded giving Hitler the power he was craving (Wikipedia ).
The tragic play Medea is a struggle between reason and violence. Medea is deliberately portrayed as not a ‘normal woman’, but excessive in her passions. Medea is a torment to herself and to others; that is why Euripides shows her blazing her way through life leaving wreckage behind her. Euripides has presented Medea as a figure previously thought of exclusively as a male- hero. Her balance of character is a combination of the outstanding qualities of Achilles and Odysseus.

Gene therapy is a relatively simple process. First, the mutated gene at fault for the cause of the condition being treated must be identified. Second, the site of the unhealthy cells in the human has to be found. Then, a health...
It is easy to agree with a family member or friend about a bad decision, but it is much more difficult to agree with someone you do not like, or do not even know personally. When that person is a fictional character it is even more challenging. Medea is a very pitiful character, but she is also rather cunning in the way she carries out her actions. However, due to the overwhelming sense of wrong-doing, the reader may find it easy to identify with her. Medea makes a wonderful pathetic character because of her strange way of thinking and rationalizing, ability to manipulate people, and her strong desire to make Jason suffer.
Domestic violence affects a large amount of relationships in the United States each year. As the times have changed, abuse has become less accepted as a normal occurrence, and society has begun working together to provide awareness towards violence in intimate partner relationships. “Problems of family violence are potentially the most destructive in our society” (Kurland 23). Domestic violence is a problem that begins in the home, and spreads to affect the world around it. Violence is present in relationships of all demographics, be it race, sexual orientation, or social class. No one is entirely safe from experiencing abuse, but if society is taught to recognize the signs it can save a life or even prevent abuse from happening.
Gene therapy is the insertion of normal or genetically altered genes into cells usually to replace defective or diseased genes in the body. By using gene therapy, doctors can go to the source of the disorder or problem instead of prescribing a patient a countless number of drugs (Hogarth 1). Gene therapy was designed to introduce new and corrected genes to compensate for any abnormal genes. If a mutated gene causes a protein to be missing or to fail, gene therapy is a way to inject a new and normal copy of the correct gene to revitalize the function of the lost protein (Genetics Home Reference 1). With the help of medical advances in technology, gene therapy has gone from the idea stage, to technology development and laboratory research, to clinical trials for various disorders (ASGCT 2). It was not until the last five years that advances and trials of this new innovation had occurred (2). Gene therapy is currently being tested for results in cancer and other acquired diseases such as HIV or the flu. However, ...
For project 3, One Bar, my largest painting to date, and a continuation of my cell phones in historical paintings, I used a previously used canvas. I sanded the previous work until smooth, and primed it with oil primer. Sketched out a cropped image of Gericult’s Raft of the Medusa, it has been in my mind for a couple years to do this painting with the survivors holding cell phones instead of pieces of cloth and trying to get reception from a distant cell tower instead of a rescue ship.
Medea and Lysistrata Medea and Lysistrata are two Greek literatures that depict the power which women are driven to achieve in an aim to defy gender inequality. In The Medea, Medea is battling against her husband Jason, whom she hates. On the other hand, in Aristophanes' Lysistrata, the protagonist Lysistrata plotted to convince and organize the female gender to protest against the stubbornness of men. In terms of defining the purpose of these two literatures, it is apparent that Euripedes and Aristophanes created characters that demonstrate resistance against the domination of men in the society. Despite the contrast in the characters of Euripedes' Medea and Aristophanes' Lysistrata, the two playwrights depicted how gender inequality can start a fire.
One of the reasons why standardized tests are used is for measuring a child’s scholastic performance. But how accurately do they do this? A standardized test is made up of consistent questions and procedures for scoring and administration. They are always made according to identical rules so the procedures are the same for everybody who takes the tests. They come in many forms: on paper, on computer, questionnaires, etc. These tests are very contentious because many people have different opinions about them. Some critics feel that the tests help parents and teachers act as guides to assist students on expanding their knowledge in a particular subject. They are also needed to enter Ivy- League schools which further explains why international schools and schools in the United States take them. However, most do argue that these tests do not take into consideration a child’s traits and what the child can give. The tests judge students based on their performance on that day, not on their growth as educational participants, and places many in stressful situations due to the amount of studying needed to prepare for the tests. Standardized tests give scores that predict how “smart” a person is, although intelligence comes in many forms. To a large extent, standardized testing is not an effective way of measuring a child’s intellectual potential because it focuses mainly on the performance instead of the child’s growth and it doesn’t take into account the child’s personality and what they have to give. On the other hand, they can be necessary because they act as guides to help parents and teachers aid children on what they don’t have knowledge on in a specific subject.
They would save more than one billion dollars per year and the death rate would also decrease if smoking was banned. About 33% to 50% of people who try smoking become regular smokers and 70% to 90% of people who are regular smokers are addicted to nicotine. It is as addictive as heroin and cocaine. Children who are curious or already influence by family members smoking would want to try it out and when they see other people doing it, they accept it as some normal behavior and most likely would become addicted to it. Smoking kills more people than human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, traffic accidents, murder, suicide, and firearm-related incidents combined. Also smoking should absolutely be banned from public places since second hand smoke cause’s health problems as well. I should be able to sue the person because he/she is harming my life. Thus smoking should be banned because it causes so many problems to health whether it is to the smoker or to the second hand
