Also, like seeds the spores wait until conditions are favorable before developing. The spore are unable to move on there own. If smile molds reproduced sexually they may be considered to be an Animal instead of an Protist. However, not all slime molds reproduce exactly the same way. The slime mold has a simple environment.

“Hey, thanks for telling me,” with a soft voice and light smile. Does it sound familiar to you? Perhaps the response seems good and polite on the surface, but people might be very frustrating deep inside. Truly, the burden of societal expectation forbids people to share their true feeling and opinion, therefore a genuine interaction among people becomes very rare. Although the U.S. government encourages gender equality, but the society remains the same; in reality, society has a higher expectation

She does this by sharing her personal experience in this matter in an honest, bold - but at the same time - fancy way. In my essay I will analyze her approach to the subject and the methods, like metaphor and tone, she used to convey her argument. Cunningham starts off the article by stating that she’s trying to stop smiling after
When I asked my friends of a personal trait that best suits me, I received the same response from them all. The overwhelming feeling shared by each individual person showed how I looked in there eyes. Each person, as different as they were had said that I am “too nice.” This trait does not seem to me as large of an issue as my friends think that it is. Although they say I am “too nice,” I feel that I am not “nice,” just pleasant. I do not understand how a person can be “too nice.” I never found it

Chills traveled down my spine as my heart began to burst. I thought to myself, “How could a film be this powerful to my eyes?” Mike Newell’s “Mona Lisa Smile” hit me like a ton of bricks. I could not believe how well put this film was as the cried the last scene hearing lines such as “But not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image. We will never forget you.” This 2003 film takes place in the 1950’s where everything was

careers. Mike Newell’s, Mona Lisa Smile begins his film with skepticism regarding the female students attending Wellesley College and Katherine Ann Watson, the art history instructor.

times in a day. Has smiling lost its effect on others through routine? I think that smiling will never lose its way of impacting others and us throughout our lives daily. Maybe smiles really are the gateway to ones true personality; maybe smiles really are just muscles tensing in one’s face; or maybe smiles are useless.

Grin and Bear It - The Science Behind a Smile A true smile is a sensory reaction that we don't even think about.

"What did you just say?" She looked straight into my eyes. Without any smile, of course. "What the hell, miss, " I responded decently. "Well, get the hell out of my class!" Hence, I took my bag and made my move out of the door. "Fucking old chick...!" I moved around as I fed her a sloppy little look. Feeling amused to skip
One of our greatest social gifts is the smile. The smile has a great way of presenting itself to others and ourselves to happiness. However, the biggest questions that researchers have opinions about is what are the causes of the smile, what happens when we smile, and the impacts on smiling. The smile is such a simple action that everyone does, but not many people realize how much effect it has on people. (Smiling like most facial expressions, communicates to those around us on what we are feeling
meet many different people. Some of them you will forget in a matter of minutes. Others you might think about every now and then, wondering how life is treating them.
