Fear From The Caribbean Sparknotes

William M. MacMillan was a historian and professor at the University of Witwatersrand, located in South Africa in 1935. He later moved to the Caribbean because he wanted people to hear about his deep concerns of the educational systems of Jamaica. Because he was also concerned about the social problems that South Africa’s black populations were facing, MacMillan wrote Warning from the West Indies to address these issues. In the novel, MacMillan claimed there would be problems if the government didn't offer its people the opportunities most deserved. A year after his book publication, riots took over the Caribbean due to the points being made by MacMillan in Warning from the West Indies. Out of panic, the British government took MacMillan’s

After developing depression, Mendel abandoned his scientific studies and began working in a monastery in Brno. Mendel, being the curious man he is, noticed a garden outside the monastery and figured he had an opportunity to continue on with his scientific studies. Picking up from where he left off, he studied hereditary traits in pea plants and soon enough came up with the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment which were later published in local science books. However, his works were misunderstood and Mendel continued on with his life as a monk. It wasn’t until after his death that his theories and laws proved to be the answers to all of science’s questions about genetics. It is more than evident that Gregor Mendel has revolutionized the world of science by offering facts and theories that would later become one of science’s most basic laws. Mendel shows us that not too many people in society will ever attain his level of intelligence. Mendel is an outlier. Gregor Mendel once stated, “My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.” Who would’ve thought he one day would prove all of the world wrong? He himself

He was asked to consume a painting which, without him knowing, was sent to the Duke of Milan. From then on, he continued to create paintings, his most famous paintings being Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Due to da Vinci’s artistic uniqueness many of his paintings were controversial and were not so pleasing to the public eye. He was an outlier because he didn’t focus on what the public thought of his paintings; da Vinci also proved that he didn’t need formal education to be successful, it takes a creative and persevering mind to obtain success. Da Vinci once said, “Learning never exhausts the mind.” Like most, da Vinci believed art was a way to express your mind without words, so da Vinci would take risks and didn’t take people’s conceptions into
