    The "Anatomy Series" was the most interesting piece I appreciated on my visit to the Perez Art Museum Miami. Roberto Fabelo, a Cuban painter, is the author of this peculiar series of drawings. This set of art is based on pages from an Anatomy book with certain representation of human organs and systems. The author uses the original drawing in the page to recreate and integrate it to his own creation. Fabelo's peculiar style gives as a result a series of smart, graphically detailed, bold, spicy creatures: half human, half divine.…

    These six essays describe the interaction between the brain and body, and how the author views both as equally influential to our behavior. Sapolsky draws attention to different parts of the brain, such as the prefrontal and frontal cortexes and how they influence everyday activities like dreaming or discipline and delaying gratification in order to complete summer work. Then, Sapolsky changes gears and looks at outside influences of the body that can affect the chemistry of the brain. Specifically, he looks to the effect of stress on the brain, which may cause the hippocampus to shrink in those with PTSD, and the ability of the body’s autonomic nervous system to get the brain to think a certain way, such as the raising of blood pressure when we’re angry, almost like a positive feedback mechanism. Finally, the author tells of how the influence of others can distort our own brains through an essay on Munchausen’s by Proxy and tales of parasites controlling our…

    In this Action Research paper, I am going to discuss the demographics and break down of my classroom library, and the possible deficits it presents to the students who populate it. This is significant because the more a child is exposed to a rich and dynamic library of books the better he or she has to be fluent in both reading and writing (Tompkins, 2015). It is also essential to to remember that a lack of culturally variegated texts may have an negative impact on children.

    Over the years, children’s literature has established itself as a vital tool for the exploration, feeling and creativity ideals that both children and young adults depend upon. Children’s literature is a necessity to facilitate learning, assist in shaping reader’s minds, to stimulate their thought processes and is a reflection of social change. Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British children’s books, which sheltered them from experiencing literature about their own history, nature and landscape.…
