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!

What is hyperbole in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry?

The most obvious use of hyperbole in "The Gift of the Magi" occurs when the narrator describes Della's and Jim's evaluations of their two treasures—her long, luxuriant hair and his gold watch. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not...
