Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS is a progressive neuron degenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive things in the body and the motor neurons in ALS eventually lead to their death. When the motor neurons eventually die, ability of the brain to nitride and control of the patients muscle movements is lost. With no involuntary movement of the muscle, the patients in later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. A Mayo-Tropic comes and from the Greek language “A” means no or negative. “Mayo” refers to a muscle and “tropic” means nourishment. Then when any muscle has no nourishment-“no muscle nourishment”. “Lateral” means that it is the patient’s spinal cord. Then “sclerosis” sets in. There is a drug called riluzde that will not cure it but will slow down the process. This disease is an example of a chromosomal disease. This is because there is a problem with the persons 23 chromosome pairs. This is what type of disease ALS is. This disease is a defect in the person’s chromosomes. There is a defect in the #21 chromosome, which codes for super oxide dismutase. This defect is associated with over 20% of the cases reported. This is what type of disease this is considered. A French doctor named Jean-Martin Charcot was the first person to discover Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. He found this disease about writing about the symptoms of a modern ALS patient. 1856 he wrote down some symptoms about a patient that he didn’t know what was happening to him, about loss of muscle and loss of control of himself. Now looking back at his notes the symptoms that he described was the same of a modern day ALS patient. The symptoms that he had describe... ... middle of paper ... ...e. There 2 famous people with ALS, one is Lou Gehrig and the other is Steven Hawking. Lou Gehrig was a baseball player who was born in June 19, 1903 and died in June 2, 1941. He played for the New York Yankees form 1923-1939. He was nicknamed “The Iron Horse”. He played 2130 consecutive runs in his career. He had to give up hos baseball career because of ALS. This disease could not let him play any more baseball. Another famous person is Steven Hawking and he is an English theoretical physicist. He is most known fore his theroes of black holes and emits radiation. He is almost all paralyzed and now lives in a wheel chair because of ALS. He talks through a speaker and still does research about a bunch of different things in this universe. Both of these people had and have ALS. This a paper about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis with the help from the following sources.
Self-Analysis Before taking this course my writing styles and habits were very different. I was the typical procrastinator because I would wait until the night before a paper was due to start it. This did not allow me enough time to properly proofread everything, which resulted in getting points deducted for simple grammatical errors that could have been avoided if I would have had the time to proofread. My writing styles have many strengths and weaknesses and I have been able to improve my
It is important to have good grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but what you have to say is the most important. People spend so much time worrying about what their paper looks like, then what it sounds like. Sitting down to write a paper can be intimating and sometimes it is hard to organize our thoughts to put them down on paper. I feel that reading books like Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace is helpful, but practice is the key to good writing. I had never heard of Blooger.com until I was

trying to think of something to write about that will go beyond a theme. My writing experiences have been pretty narrow minded. Basicly, if the writing was not in a theme format, I immediately excluded it. From elementary school and to today, research papers in theme formats were expected. I was not taught how to write in any other way. I figured that if my writing was accepted, if I got A's on them, and if the teachers never hinted as to any other way to write, there must be only ONE TRUE WAY TO WRITE
From the information I gathered for this paper, plagiarism is a bigger problem than we all think. As far as I can tell plagiarism has been around since the existence of reading and writing. Our human race sure hasn't helped this matter by inventing the printing press in the late fifteen-century and the Internet in the late twentieth century. Plagiarism gets most of its press in the realm of education, particularly in places of higher education. Aside from the information I attained threw

through the semester we moved from the Change Project to the Public Argument. I was able to look back at how one essay was developed into multiple essays. The type of paper I was writing determined how I was able to persuade my audience. The audience of the papers changed throughout the semester making the way I developed my paper also changed. In one essay I used the sources to persuade the readers towards agreeing with me. In the other essay I used my own words and thoughts to grab the reader’s

I chose to compare paragraphs one and two. Paragraph two is much more effective in giving me pertinent information, in a way that I can understand it. Paragraph two, although it did lack variety in its sentences, was more efficient, and to the point. It was full of facts that can be useful, without too much wordy language. The author of paragraph one would benefit from reading over her work and editing it for content. She jumped around from topic to topic, even within the same sentence. Although
the November wind as a personified figure, the narrator sets up the cold gust as the text's primary antagonist. With its "violent assault," the wind renders the streets unappealing to pedestrians and even "finger[s] its way along the curb" to throw paper remnants into the faces of those who dare to combat the swirling wind's hurricane of trash. In the third paragraph, the wind amasses even more strength and becomes increasingly aggressive and villainous in its attempt to "discourage the people" from
