The Kennesaw State Arboretum is spilt from an upslope and a downslope which was examined to seeing the difference in age and size of the hardwood and pine trees. The variation of age and size can be due to changes in the progressive changes in the tree species over time. This was tested by measuring pine and hardwood trees in 2 different areas of the forest, upslope and downslope, collecting tree data with at least 25cm circumference and 10 ft. tall in 5 different plots of 100 m2. The data describes the hypothesis that if the upslope and downslope parts of the forest differ in age, then the size of the eldest hardwood trees of the upslope and downslope will differ. If the upslope and downslope parts of the forest are different ages, then the forest will differ in proportion of mature hardwood relative to pine.

The theme from the novel Willow and Twig written by Jean little that resonated with me was family, specifically the relationship between brother and sister. This theme stood out for me the most because it reminded me of how my brother and I acted together throughout my entire life. My brother and I are also half-brother and half-sister, but we never talk about it. Willow and Twig are also in the same situation but it never bothers them to act any differently either. Ever since I can remember my brother has called me by the name Twig, and I thought it was very ironic being the younger sibling in my family.

I think the movie Simon Birch and the book The Chrysalids go together extremely well, and really help create a full picture of what it means to be made in the image of God. In both the movie and the book, we see persecution because the way someone was made. Perhaps The Chrysalids more extreme than Simon Birch. In The Chrysalids we see that if anyone differs from what is thought to be “normal” then they are considered blasphemy, and either sent away or even killed. They even had a definition of what a man is, “The definition of man recited itself in my head: ‘and each leg shall be joined twice and have one foot, and each foot five toes, and each toe shall end with a flat nail…’ and so on, until finally: ‘And any creature that shall seem to be human, but is not formed thus is not human.
From “Living Like Weasels”, by Annie Dillard, To “The Sky Tree” by the Huron Tradition, these separate texts and the times they have been told have a lot of things in common. They represent each other on how these two really different text styles the perform in. The first text is “Living Like Weasels”, by Annie Dillard. One day she was sitting by a pond and enjoying nature.
There are two stories I’ve read, “The Jumping Tree” and “The Ravine”. Both stories involved jumping from a dangerous height. The two main characters, Vinny and Rey, had to make a decision. I think Vinny made the best decision because he didn’t jump, unlike Rey. One reason I think Vinny made the best decision is because he was brave.

The common theme between “Four Skinny Trees” and “The Rose That Grew From Concrete.” is you should push through any difficulty, despite the challenge you face. In “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” By Tupac Shakur, the rose grows in a difficult area, the crack of the concrete. This rose still pushed through and grew as a nice red rose, despite the difficult conditions. In “Four skinny trees”, Esperanza says the trees are “Raggedy excuses planted by the city” but they still manage to grow big and strong.
I choose these sources because they offer a greater understanding into the conflicting viewpoints that surround the CRISPR technology. By taking into account both the positive and negative consequences that could arise from the implementation of the CRISPR technology I can confidently take part in the conversation that is taking place in this community. The majority of my sources consist of scholarly articles that give either a basic summary or an in depth analysis of one or both sides to the issue. Included in my sources are articles that layout a plan to follow that will result in a more informed population that is able to better make decisions about the ever advancing CRISPR- Cas9 technology. As a result from doing this research I found
The cool, upland air, flooding through the everlasting branches of the lively tree, as it casts a vague shadow onto the grasses ' fine green. Fresh sunlight penetrates through the branches of the tree, illuminating perfect spheres of water upon its green wands. My numb and almost transparent feet are blanketed by the sweetness of the scene, as the sunlight paints my lips red, my hair ebony, and my eyes honey-like. The noon sunlight acts as a HD camera, telling no lies, in the world in which shadows of truth are the harshest, revealing every flaw in the sight, like a toddler carrying his very first camera, taking pictures of whatever he sees. My head looks down at the sight of my cold and lifeless feet, before making its way up to the reaching arms of an infatuating tree, glowing brightly virescent at the edges of the trunk, inviting a soothing, tingling sensation to my soul.
