Discuss the ways in which Jamaica Kincaid explores Annie's relationship with her mother in the first two chapters
parents have trouble expressing their parental affection especially physically either because the parent is imposing a kind of distance between him and the child, or simply because he is not comfortable being involved in this type of contact. From this part, love and affection are explicitly expressed in this: Annie's mother is very lovable and tactile with her daughter. During the early stages of childhood, children are very dependent of affection and a mother's love is also a first step to lov...

Koala - biology.
V REPRODUCTION Female koalas become sexually mature around 18 to 24 months of age. They can produce one offspring a year until they reach about 13 years of age. Males begin toproduce sperm around age 2 and, in the absence of older, stronger males, they may breed at that young age. More often, however, a male must grow big enough tocompete with other males for females, and mating generally begins for males at about 4 years of age. The breeding season for koalas is from October to May, during the...

From David Copperfield - anthology.
To this my mother returned, “Certainly, my dear Jane,” and said no more. I felt apprehensive that I was personally interested in this dialogue, and sought Mr. Murdstone's eye as it lighted on mine. “Now, David,” he said—and I saw that cast again, as he said it—”you must be far more careful to-day than usual.” He gave the cane another poise, and anotherswitch; and having finished his preparation of it, laid it down beside him, with an expressive look, and took up his book.

Cheetah - biology.
animals such as zebras. Unlike most cats, cheetahs hunt during the day, when lions and hyenas that compete with them for prey are less likely to be active. Still,scientists in Tanzania have observed that cheetahs lose 10 to 13 percent of their kills to lions and hyenas. Alerted by the panic of a gazelle herd or by the circling ofvultures, lions and hyenas close in and easily drive the more timid cheetah away from a fresh kill. A cheetah usually stalks prey to within about 10 m (about 33 ft) and...

EM Forster, A passage to India
helpless victim, however, partially to retain her dignity and partially because she remains unsure of the actual legitimacy of her charges. Two significant forces trouble Adela: ___The first is her doubt that Aziz is guilty of the crime with which she has charged him, and she even tells Ronny that she believes she has made a mistake. Mrs. Moore confirms this doubt, definitively stating to Adela that Aziz is innocent. Her statement contains great significance, for Mrs. Moore serves as a paragon o...

Cloning - biology.
found that such embryo cells are totipotent (able to give rise to all the different cell types in the body). Exploiting this characteristic, scientists developed three techniques to clone embryo cells: blastomere separation, blastocyst division, and somatic cell nuclear transfer. A Blastomere Separation In blastomere separation, scientists fertilize an egg cell with a sperm cell in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryo is allowed to divide until it forms a mass of aboutfour cells. Scientist...

Butterflies.
When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect unfolds its wings andpumps blood and air into them. It spreads out the wings until they dry and harden. The beautifulbutterfly then flies off to slurp nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live only one or two weeks. BUTTERFLY RELATIVES Butterflies are closely related to moths, another type of insect. One difference between butterflies andmoths is how their antennae look. Butterflies have knobs called clubs on the...

Although tigers see about as well as humansduring the day, their large eye openings gather more light than do human eyes, making tiger night vision far superior to that of humans. In addition, a special structurein the tiger’s eye, called the tapetu...

The child develops the disease only if he or she receives amutated allele from each parent. When both parents are carriers, there is a 25 percent chance that a child will be disease-free, a 25 percent chance that it will have thedisease, and a 50 percent chance that it will be a carrier. Examples of genetic diseases that follow the dominant-recessive pattern include sickle-cell anemi...
