Recently in my STEAM class known as Population, we have been studying the different ways a species might evolve. Evolution can harden and adapt us to an environment or it can cause us to develop terrifying diseases. The four main ways that we studied include: Natural selection, Genetic drift, Mutation and Gene flow. First, natural selection describes that only the organisms that have traits to survive are likely to pass on their genes. Next, genetic drift says past genes can dominate entire populations or groups based on dominant and recessive gene traits but can then be changed with the introduction of new groups of genes. This has bigger effects on small populations then big populations. Mutation is a mostly unpredictable occurrence that usually has no effect on a person but can still greatly change them; good or bad. Lastly gene flow; I stated that genetic drift can change with the introduction of a new gene pool, that refers to gene flow. Gene flow is when one organism joins a new ...

A Crook and A Father Two stories explained by C.D.H. In this unit for my Humanities core class known as Stories, I learned about the Hero’s Journey. The hero’s journey is a set storyline that fits most main characters, meaning: books, movies, T.V. shows and even real life. The journey includes several things: A character is chosen or saute out to go on some kind of adventure; whether it’s emotional or literal, they will face challenges, gain allies, be made new and eventually be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. You may be wondering why I am going into detail about this and the reason would be because I constructed two “Hero’s Journeys”. Kaz Brekker is a gang lord crook who would do anything for the right reward. Anything good or bad for money, power, or knowledge; nothing and no one was safe around him. He was an orphan who was tricked into poverty. Growing up in the streets and slums of Kerch he learned many things like sleight of hand and lock picking. This practice e...
