The narrator claims that he is invisible‚ not as the form of a ghost‚ but rather in the sense that everybody around him chooses only to recognize him as the idea of what he should be as they have created in their own minds.

Laboratory 10 & 11: Stimulated Diving and Heart Rate Prelab Questions: 1.) If the peripheral blood vessels were constricted without making any other further adjustments in the cardiovascular system then the blood vessels could potentially burst due to the built up pressure and no further decrease in heart rate. The vessels would be smaller due to the constriction but the heart would continue to pump the blood with the same or greater force. The dive response prevents this from happening

Out of an Ice Age emerged one of our most majestic creatures — the polar bear. From its brown bear ancestry‚ the predator evolved to be a master of a harsh and unwelcoming ice kingdom. Intelligent‚ adaptable and fierce‚ the polar bear learned how to survive in a place that offers few comforts to any creature. But now that very environment is in flux. And so is the polar bear’s fate. The Arctic is changing. As temperatures slowly rise and the ice recedes‚ the shore is getting further away. Food sources

The windows were dirty‚ and one could barely see the old tattered curtains that hung in the windows. The handrail going up the stairs to the front door was
