Hello. I am demonstrating the comparison of a normal brain and a brain aneurysm. So, I would like to use a model of both types of brains.Does...

To save on space and materials the best course of action may be to make a single brain with 2 lobes and have an aneurysm on one side and a healthy brain on the other. A lighter weight material such as Styrofoam or the green blocks used for planting fake flower bouquets may make an easier medium to work with. If you then want to coat the outside in clay you can use the blunt...

To save on space and materials the best course of action may be to make a single brain with 2 lobes and have an aneurysm on one side and a healthy brain on the other. A lighter weight material such as Styrofoam or the green blocks used for planting fake flower bouquets may make an easier medium to work with. If you then want to coat the outside in clay you can use the blunt side of a spoon to make ridges and creases. 


To show the ballooning of the blood vessel that comes with a brain aneurysm try to find a narrow tubing that you can run through the grooves of the brain to represent vessels. Cut a small hole in a part and attach on a small section of balloon material. That way, if you blow through the tubing that makes the blood vessels you could show the ballooning of the vessels in the weakened section while the other side stays healthy looking. To really demonstrate the danger, run a fluid like water through the piping using a water bottle with a small hole in the cap. Squeeze until the ballooning section bursts, demonstrating a brain hemorrhage. I hope I gave you some ideas!

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...

It is wealth that has allowed Gatz to transform himself into Gatsby.

Gatz became Gatsby through determination and discipline. At the end of the novel, the narr...

Explain and discuss how the definitions of freedom change for the nation, for the freedmen and for southern whites after the Civil War.

After the Civil War, the definition of freedom changed in the nation, as slavery was ended with the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. The practice of slavery was disallowed, but definition of the freedom that would take its place was a subject of controversy, ongoing debate, and even violence in the decades to come.  For freedmen, freedom often meant reconciling with their families, who were broken up by slavery; choosing which church to...
