Gregor’s transformation is partial. While he is physically an insect on the exterior‚ he retains a human mind inside. Hence‚ Gregor is mentally aware of what is happening to him and his body. This hybridity‚ in terms of having an insect body but a human mind‚ contributes greatly to the grotesque image of the main character. As quoted from Bakhtin‚ what is happening to Gregor is an “unfinished metamorphosis” whereby he is not fully insect‚ yet not fully human either. The “in-between-ness” of such a

Dengue Fever Makes Inroads into the U.S. The mosquito-borne infection is cropping up in Florida‚ but mysteriously not in similar regions in the nation By Dina Fine Maron Most Americans lose little sleep over dengue fever. The mosquito-borne infection is a leading killer in the tropics and subtropics‚ but it’s been a long-held belief that ubiquitous air-conditioning‚ few open windows and limited time outdoors protects us from dengue. And in fact‚ for the past century most U.S. cases (except

Different Eras same Actions Imagine if women do not have a voice or opinion that is valid‚ and their feelings do not matter to others. Charlotte Perkins Gilman in the story “The Yellow Wall Paper” shows an idea of how “the perfect wife” was in the Victorian Era. Gilman supports her claim by describing the story of Jane who was trapped in her own house‚ keeping her true feelings inside‚ someone who was not living for herself‚ a soul who wanted to be free. The narrator describes Jane as a woman who

During the 1800s and most eras‚ women have been considered inferior to men and should have an obeying demeanor which is challenged through many authors like Charlotte Perkins Gilman. She was well known for her depression and had severe constraints in her own life style which led to these solemn and yet satirical masterpieces. In her short story “ The Yellow Wallpaper”‚ she conveys her purpose of exposing the constraints men have placed over women through symbolism‚ irony‚ and point of view in his

study of insects and arthropods and their relation to a criminal investigation. Forensic entomology can determine the postmortem interval (PMI) or how long since the descendants’ death‚ whether the body has been moved since expiring‚ and what injuries may have been sustained. When decomposition begins‚ insects establish a colony to lay eggs on the remains; these eggs will hatch into larvae that will eat the human organs and tissues. Forensic entomologists can determine the specific insects present

and observations of insect biting behavior indicate that when an insect bites a person‚ it does not inject its own or a previously bitten person’s or animal’s blood into the next person bitten. Instead‚ it injects saliva‚ which acts as a lubricant or anticoagulant so the insect can feed efficiently. Since the pathogens that can cause diseases such as yellow fever and malaria exist in saliva they are transmitted through the saliva during feeding process of bloodsucking insects. When a mosquito transmits

These differences give us variety whether we are talking about humans‚ animals‚ insects‚ or plants. These same differences can cause issues over time‚ however. When we discuss genetic diversity it involves mutations‚ sexual reproduction‚ migration‚ and population size. All four of these factors add to the variety we see every day and
