Homework Help - December 2007

She sat before me on the edge of the bed smiling, with her leathery hands intertwined and placed upon the crocheted blanket folded out over her lap. There was a certain beauty in those purple age spots that crawled up the sides of her arms and pigmented her tan cheeks in small, abnormal patches. Previously I had seen pictures of her when she was younger; a pale-breasted enchantress, with the brilliant eyes of a young doe. And now, before me, she tried to procure this seductive look with a sweet smile, as though I was one of the many men she had courted. She was nothing of her former beauty, I concluded, as I studied her snowy hair in contemplation.
I was only twelve then, an awkward girl of little conscience, who would rather sit in her room and write dark poetry than meet her own grandmother. There was little she could offer me, or so I thought; an old woman, born in 1905, old enough to be my great-grandmother.

Fertility drugs have greatly increased the incidence of multiple births. When more than two embryos share the uterus, the incidence of premature birth and developmental problems increases substantially. The medical cost of caring for multiple premature infants is staggering. When fertility drugs produce multiple embryos, the physician can selectively eliminate some of these embryos early in development, so the remaining few have a better chance to develop fully and normally. Given these facts, discuss the ethical implications of taking fertility drugs.

It is supposed to be an assertion to a paragraph in an essay I am writing on the theme of alienation and loneliness in relation to the novel Frankenstein.


When individuals are separated from society and threatened with animosity if they step outside their abode, they tend to impel themselves to learn and seek knowledge that will content their life.

Be it enacted by the student Congress assembled that
1 Section 1: Embryonic stem cell research will be defined as research involving the use of stem cells from a human embryo to study for future regenerative and reparative medicine. Restrictions shall be taken off of federally funded laboratories that practice stem cell research such as allowing the use of donated stem cells from couples who have completed in vitro fertilization and no longer need the remaining frozen embryos.
The Federal government will fund this from the general budget.
This bill will take effect November 1, 2007.

I feel that my presence will bring further religious diversity to Rice University and the general community. My parents, wedded in a loving religious intermarriage, left it to my brother and me to decide our religious paths. After many years of deliberation, I chose to follow Judaism. Because as a child I was raised as both a Jew and a Christian, I am very accepting toward other faiths. Sometimes, while seated in the ultra-conservative Midwest, I feel as though no one shares my disposition, and that the majority finds religion less a sacred institution than another justification for fighting. I hold a firm conviction that the quality of tolerance is very important to a well-rounded person and I take pride in possessing it.

Peace. This common world is used quite often in today’s society, without much meaning left in
it is a word we hear every where, we know that it is a good thing, and we know that it does not exist in many places all over the world. Even though many people know that our world is truly in need of peace, they still, however, choose not to take action, and strive, to help make a peaceful world we all dream of living in. As you know, Prime Minister Harper, there are many devastating wars and conflicts, taking place all over the world, mainly in developing, and impoverished nations in the middle east.
