    The setting of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, is the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY between 1900-1918. In the exposition, 11-year-old Francie Nolan is introduced as the protagonist, of the coming of age novel. Her family lives in the poor areas of Brooklyn where she is raised and has a close connection to the “Tree of Heaven”. The text illustrates, “For Francie, Saturday started with a trip to the junkie. She and her brother, Neeley, like other Brooklyn kids, collected rags, paper, metal, rubber, and other junk and hoarded it in locked cellar bins or in boxes hidden under the bed…Paper wasn’t worth much. They got only a penny for ten pounds. Rags brought two cents a pound and iron, four. Copper was good—ten cents a pound” (Smith 7). This…

    Does our society truly understand how important our trees are, and do we have any idea of how bad off we will be once they are gone? How close to complete deforestation are we with the world’s population increasingly on the rise, and why market this film to children instead of making a public announcement of the severity of the issue? The film showed the quality of air being controlled by the mayor, which is the same in our world; the government controls what goes and what does not. So why not put a stop to it? Just as it was in the movie is the same in out reality it is all about the all mighty dollar. To produce a movie of this caliber and to make it geared toward children is kind of mind twisting. Is this just a really good movie or does it have a hidden agenda? I would like to believe that we now realize just how much we have done to the earth and it is too late for us to fix, so we inform our children and put it in their hands. It is believed that behavior is learned, so unless we teach our children about the importance of our trees and recycling the human race could become extinct.…

    Based on the results of the BLAST for the first unknown species only the first hit Perodicticus potto located in the rain forests in Africa with a pairwise identity of 100% has a high enough percentage indicative of the same species. It is therefore likely that this species belongs to an already known species and is not a new founded one. For the second unknown species the results indicate that all of the results including the top hit Cercopithecus pogonias nigripe of Western Central Africa had pairwise percentages of around 92% indicating it likely a closely related species and not the same species. The third unknown species BLAST results indicated from the first hit Pan troglodytes troglodytes of Central Africa and all the subsequent results were 100-99.80% indicating a very high likelihood of them being the same species.…

    Everyone has a unique sense of belonging and identity. Our sense of identity is shaped within personal, cultural, historical context over a long period of time. That’s why we prefer our own identity over anyone else’s. We reject a forced identity and take risks to find the place where we truly belong. We engage with the world in search for a better understanding of our true identity.…

    Gender is defined as “organisms are classified on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions” (American Heritage Dictionary), nothing more than your reproductive organs. There are no cultural traits that go along with one’s gender, everything that you have been taught as to what a girl or boy may be, has been taught to you through social constructs. All of these constructs are taught during adolescence. “Saplings in the Storm” by Mary Pipher explores the young females and their challenges in their adolescent and teenage years. Essentially the girls lose all of their value during these years when they trade it for traditional female traits such as being idealistic and superficial.…

    Many of the world’s oldest trees, that are 100-300 years old, are dying. This is a trend happening worldwide. It’s happening in forests, savannahs, woods, mountains, cities, etc. The cause is human domination. We’ve been killing off these trees with pollution, deforestation, and other causes. This could really affect the world because other plants and animals depend on these trees for life, whether it be for food, shelter, or other needs. Large, old trees provide shelter for up to 30% of animals and birds in some ecosystems. Therefore, if these trees die out, we’d be looking at other species dying out too. It’s kind of embarrassing to see what humanity is doing to the other species of the world.…
