United
I knock on wood, I need luck
Children laugh while they dance, the sun is bright
My stomach flipped in anticipation.
It feels like when I was on the coaster at Disney.
I might have eaten too much dairy.
My execution was on the horizon
the white horse I ride runs
society gives me glances; they look down at me.
my ride gives we strength to cut off their heads.
Across the way, I spot him
The river between us was a chaeta
He dashed, like Romeo, to me, his star crossed Juliet.
We join hands in the middle.
“What was the worst the could happen?” I say. My take out last breaths, and steps alone, now united.
Formal Review of The Goose Girl
Informal Review
This is a great, wholesome, and cute book. It is easy to get lost in the page and the story. It is a little long and drags a little, but the story itself makes you not care. The story is simple and easy to follow. The plot is an innovative and faithful adaptation of the Goose Girl fairy tale.
Ani is an intriguing protagonist. The fact that people are infatuated and drawn to her makes since with her traits and personality. She is someone that could be labelled as a “Strong, Independent Women”, however, she understands that she needs support to reach her goals. I love that there are so many positive relationships in this story.
The protagonists and supporting cast are likeable characters, and you want to root for them. The antagonists are written in a way that makes you want the protagonists to overcome them.
The world has two vary different cultures between the two kingdoms, it makes the world feel real. Ani is form Kildenree, and she is a foreigner in Bayern. I love that we get to learn about the culture of Bayern through the eyes of a foreigner.

Formal Review
The Goose Girl, written by Shannone Hale, was published in 2003, and it’s based on the fairy tale of the same name. The story fallows Anidori, Princess of Kildenree, as her life is taken from her, betrayed by a close friend, and forced to live in a foreign land. Ani must find allies among the working class to rescue those around her from a thickening plot. The world is rich with interesting characters and culture and the plot keeps you engaged. The writing is a little awkward, but it makes sense in context.
The Goose Girl explores many interesting themes in a unique way. One theme is of identity. Ani, the protagonist, has everything to her name, including her name, taken from her. She is forced to build a new identity from the ground up, literally. Another theme is community, it is very important for the people of this world. Those who don’t live within the cities are excluded from major community events. Both themes are connected within the story and are played out very well.
The plot of the story is a faithful adaption of the fairy tale of the same name. This adaption fallows the same major plot points (Ie: the insurgence, Falada the horse being set as an example, and the final confutation); however, this version adds a lot more stakes, drama, and excitement. If you have read the story, you can guess the plot and the twists. However, it is enjoyable without the prior knowledge. Ani’s growth is understandable based upon the events that took place in her life. Selia’s actions make sense for her personality and abilities. The way people react make sense for their culture.
The writing in this story is a little weird. The style drags on a little, it feels like major story points are far part. However, the story is so engaging that you want to keep reading. The writing works in the story’s favor. The events in the story do take place months apart and it shows the passage of time. If you don’t like it when the writing style helps with the immersion, don’t read this story.
In conclusion, The Goose Girl was Shannone Hale’s first published work, and it shows. While the story is engaging and the characters are beautiful, the writing helps and hinders the work. The writing is not very refined but that makes sense for the context.

DNA Replication
- There are two antiparallel strands, comprised of nucleotides. A nucleotide is comprised of a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar called deoxyribose, and 1 of the 4 nitrogen containing bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine. They are held together via covalent bonds. The nitrogen bases each have a pair: Adenine and Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. They are paired together via hydrogen bonds. The strands are strands are antiparallel because the deoxyribose sugar faces the opposite way. The deoxyribose is connected to the phosphate via carbon 5’.
1-1
2. DNA replication occurs when a cell needs to divide. A cell needs DNA to make proteins to work. So, DNA needs to replicate so the new daughter cell can work too.
3. First the DNA gets unzipped by DNA Helicase by the origin point. The Helicase breaks the H-bonds between the base pairings. The from the origin point one strand is carbon 3’, the leading strand, the other is carbon 5’, the lagging strand. From there, the DNA polymerase begins pairing the bases with their complementary base pair, which are in the nucleuses. DNA polymerase works from 3’ to 5’. It can work continuously on the leading strand; it needs to work in sections on the lagging strands. The DNA ligase fixes the bonds in the lagging strands.
4. During the complementary base pairing stage, we separated the 2 strands completely that got new based and matched them. Then, we got the deoxyribose and phosphate, added those on and drew the bonds. During the joining of adjacent nucleotides step, we made gaps the back bone on the lagging strand, then showed the ligase crating those bonds. This activing is well suited to show theses steps because you get to manipulate pieces of paper and put what you know into practice. It is inaccurate in the sense of scale.
RNA Transcription
5. mRNA had only a single back bone instead of 2 like in DNA. mRNA has Ribose instead of Deoxyribose. Instead of the Adenine, thymine, Cytosine and Guanine, like in DNA, mRNA has Adenine Uracil, Cytosine, and Guanine.
6. First a single gene gets unwound and unzipped. One side of the gene is the nonsense stand, the other is called the sense strand. the sense and nonsense strand will switch sides on DNA depending on the gene. The mRNA will get sequenced matched on the sense strand. the nitrogen bases on the sense strand get paired with nucleotides for mRNA. The bond between the DNA and the mRNA is broken by RNA ligase. The RNA is modified and leaves the cell nucleus as the DNA rezips and recoils.
7. I think it was accurate in showing how mRNA is different visually than DNA. I don’t think it was accurate in showing the process.
Protein synthesis
8. Initiation: mRNA has a 3 letter language. Every 3 letters (triplet) on mRNA (codon) codes or a nucleic acid. The process begins with the codon AUG. in order to read the mRNA a ribosome holds onto the strand and reads the triplets, after it hit AUG the process starts. Elongation: For every mRNA codon, a tRNA has a matching anticodon. The ribosome has two sites that act like docking bays. A tRNA attaches to the P site and another tRNA attaches to the A site. The attachment of a second tRNA in the A site causes the tRNA in the P site to let go of it’s amino acid. The amino acid binds to the neighboring amino acid. The empty tRNA gets lets let go off the ribosome. The A site can’t be occupied with a tRNA without a tRNA in the p site, the tRNA in the a site shifts over to the p site leaving the a site open. The mRNA would shift with the tRNA. Termination: the elongation process continues until the ribosome reaches the end codon. No new amino acid is added to the chain and it disassociates from the ribosome. A new polypeptide is made.
9. I think that it is accurate in helping to understand the process behind protein synthesis. It was not accurate because it is easy to make a mistake in creating the mRNA.
