Respoce Blog to Movie

October Sky is a movie about dreams. In this movie a boy living in a mining community has an ambition for rocket building and space. The boys name is Homer Hickam. He faced many problems through out the story, but later he realized that dreams are meant for coming true. That makes him achieve his goal and become a stronger individual. This movie had a lot of science and character education in it.This movie was located in a town that runs on coal mining. So, obviously many people work in the coal mines. The noxious gasses in the mine cause many people to have cancer and eventually die. The science here is that people didn't have much knowledge about lung cancer then. Also, coal mining can be very dangerous. In the movie, Homers dad gets seriously injured because the coal collapsed. This is very dangerous and expensive. Coal mining takes a lot of work and most of America's economy survives because of coal. A physical science part of this movie was when there was a chemical reaction in the sink. Homer pours a chemical down the sink so he wouldn't get caught. After that someone put a match in their sink and for a split second, the sink caught on fire. This was a chemical reaction. Another example of earth science is when Homer's dad rescues a man in the mine. The coal was about to collapse on him. This is physical science because Homer's dad had to physically move to save a person from dieing.Homer and his friends used math to show that they did not create a forest fire. Homer went to class and showed the principal the math. He used geometry to show. After the math, everyone found out that the forest fire wasn't caused by a rocket Homer and his friends launched. This also shows that Homer had enough courage to show his innocence.This movie showed a lot of character education. Homer had respect for his dad, but his dad did not have much for him. Homer did whatever his dad said, except for working in the mines. Homer was taking full responsibility on what he was learning. Homer also has self control. When his dad gets mad at him, he try's to forgive and forget. That show a lot of control. The Rocket boys had integrity because they never gave up their dream for rockets. They worked and worked until the rocket actually went perfect!This was a wonderful movie that showed me that dreams can be achieved. I am glad I watched this movie

Genetic Disorder Review

Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that is life threatening. This makes me feel bad that this disease can take someone’s life away when they want to live. The blog says that it is a very common disease that gets passed down if both of the parents have at least one of the alleles. This shows that this disease can be passed down easily. This makes me feel sad.  The blog also says that it kills 30,000 people in the United States. Those are a lot of people! Most of these people don’t even get to live a full life. The blog says that a person who has this disease only lives up to an average of thirty-seven years. This makes me very upset. I hope that doctors can soon find a cure for this. I hope they find something that prevents Cystic Fibrosis from killing someone or at least have something that will help people with this living longer. When this happens there will be more happy humans in this world.

Genetic Disorders

Sickle Cell Anemia. Have you ever heard of that? Well, that it a genetic disorder. It was first discovered by James B. Herrick in 1904.  He discovered it inside a dental student from Grenada. Sickle Cell Anemia occurs when a person inherits two abnormal genes that cause RBCs to change shape. RBCs are usually disk shaped or looking like doughnuts. When a person has Sickle Cell Anemia their RBCs are stiff and shaped like an old farm tool called a sickle. This disorder occurs when abnormal forms of hemoglobin produce. This could be a mutation. This causes the molecules to clump together. This makes the red blood cell ,who are trying to give oxygen, get sticky and fragile. People who do not know that they have this disorder can get many symptoms. Some symptoms are severe pain in the chest, arms, legs, stomach, ad may other parts. People can also get Jaundice and have trouble fighting infections. Many children with this disorder can grow slower than usual. When you go to a doctor, you would expect getting rid of the disorder. Well, that isn't possible. Doctors do not have a cure fore Sickle Cell Anemia. Doctors can only give medicines and hope that you take them on time. Most people survive from this disease, but some can die if not treated properly. More than 70,000 Americans have this. When a person as this it is mandatory for that person to take whatever the doctor says seriously. They have to take their medicines, vitamins, proper foods, and proper bed rest. in my opinion, this disorder is very complex so the patient should meet with their doctor almost every month. That will help them feel better.
