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 the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...

Why did Tybalt attack and kill Mercutio instead of Romeo, who he had originally been targeting?

Though Tybalt's quarrel is with Romeo, he begins the momentous duel in Act 3 by fighting with and killing Mercutio instead. Tybalt ultimately attacks Mercutio because the garrulous and hot-headed character insults Tybalt and goads him into a duel to protect Romeo's honor. From the beginning of the encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, it's clear that Mercutio is itching for a fight. For instance, when Tybalt signals that he wants to talk to Mercutio...
