Descartes 1ST Meditation
<view this essay>.... by stating that he will not succumb to these deceptions by such an evil genius. It is not within his own power to know that the evil is a falsehood. He then acknowledges that this plan is irksome. Descartes states that he is like a prisoner, one that is afraid to realize that he is dreaming this life.

Gattaca The Movie And Discrimi
<view this essay>.... used in the Gattaca I think its progress should be carefully monitored. Right now sheep and other animals are being cloned. Soon primates and Humans could be cloned.

Poetry Assignment
<view this essay>.... more than a century apart from each other, after rereading them numerous times, they left me with an unimaginable amount of thinking and writing ground.
The two poems "The Sick Rose" and "Fog" are very much alike in the sense that they both use the introduction of weather and animals to shape the poem and give the reader a sense of displeasure. In "The Sick Rose" the poet introduces a worm and storm and in "Fog" the poet uses the fog and a cat.

take a chance in helping people if it is going to put me in risk.
Instead of giving the money to non Ameri .....
