Chaos Theory Straight Lines
1,201 words
Where Chaos begins, classical science ends. Ever
since physicists have inquired into the laws of
nature, the have not begun to explore irregular
side of nature, the erratic and discontinuous

atmosphere, the turbulent sea, the oscillations of
the heart and brain, and the fluctuations of
wildlife populations. All of these things were
taken for granted until in the 1970 's some

1. State the five assumptions of the
Kinetic-Molecular Theory of gases. a) Gases
consist of large numbers of tiny particles. These
particles, usually molecules or atoms, typically
occupy a volume about 1000 times larger than
occupied by the same number of particles in the
liquid or solid state. Thus molecules of gases are
much further apart than those of liquids or
solids. Most of the volume occupied by a gas is
empty space. This accounts for the lower density
of gases compared to liquids and so...

Differences Among Deciduous And Coniferous Trees

As stated by the General Ecology book, competition
is the interaction between two species over a
limiting resource that negatively affects one or
both of their population growth rates. Intra

Booker T Washington E L Doctorow
1,370 words
In the classic E. L. Doctorow novel, Ragtime, we
see the juxtaposition of many motifs to represent
Doctorow? s view of the early century. By
combining history and fiction Doctorow allows
himself to write a semi-accurate interpretation of
the early 1900? s while also being able to
strongly express his own biases and opinions of
the era. The biggest, and perhaps most important
theme Doctorow applies in the novel is social
tension, or the battle of the rich versus the
poor. Other important themes i...

Kurt Vonnegut Jr Third Person Omniscient
2,622 words
The connection between genius and madness is a
well-known one in modern culture, almost to the
point that it is considered a clich. Such a label
does not affect its accuracy in the case of Kurt
Vonnegut, Jr. His literature is world-famous, and
Vonnegut has been awarded numerous awards.
However, Vonnegut s narrative style and the
characters of his novels reflect the symptoms of
serious mental illness, especially schizophrenia.
While Vonnegut s works can be read partly as
social criticisms, many p...
