Spinal Disk Replacement

In Unit 1 of my Cure course, we learned about different ways to approach math problems like substitution and elimination, but most important we learned how cells work in the body. We also learned the different parts and the organelles inside of the cell and what they do. For the action project we had to create a Prezi presentation on a surgery of our choice and explain the organs involved and the cells they are made up of, and what happens in the surgery. I picked the replacement of a disk in the back, mainly the lower part, and I thought this would be could because of how serious it can be if the surgery were to be done wrong. The purpose of this project was to see how different cells in the body have very different ways of working and to show in a real life situation.


         

Kate The Tamer!

For Unit 1 of my Drama course we read Taming of The Shrew, written by William Shakespeare, and we talked about how the 16th century had such a big role in effecting the play he wrote. As Shakespeare grew, he soon went into the role of writing sonnets, mainly because they were popular and he wanted money for his. Bringing me to the action project, we had to write a sonnet directed towards a character in the play. In the sonnet it would address them about gender roles in marriage, and how they could use help with it. I chose to write to Kate, the shrew, and tell her about how she needs to make her relationship with Petruchio more equal. Enjoy the poem!

“My hand is ready, may it do him ease”

Did you mean that, or did you just say that to please?

Your power, your shrewishness, your pride, you forswear

when fitted for a hat you loved, from your head, you let him tear

Why let a man tame the only thing that makes you whole?

Instead of looking under the tree to find the present, you looked down the stocking to find the coal

You are the bondmaid,a jest, and the doll that was tied to strings when you met

You are the bug and he was the knave with a net

Stand up for yourself, become equals using your stomach, your air

When standing up you become peaceful, stopping the attack, and make it all fair

Tame the tammer and let him see and learn

He will learn not to have tried to tame the powerful, and he will burn

Have you learned what I am saying, make it equal don’t let someone control everything

You are strong and free willed, and soon to be, loving
