I want to create an effect of having vessels with relaxing colours like the bowls above.

on Gilead Theme Park – The Handmaid’s Tale

https://create.piktochart.com/output/56985744-handmaid-s-tale-brochure
Our theme park is based off the novel The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. The book is about the republic of Gilead and their dangerously low reproduction rates. The handmaids are the only women that are able to have children for the elite couples. For my role I was given the responsibility of the character sketches. To prepare for my role i made sure that I spent more time focusing on the behaviors of the characters throughout the novel and when we completed the novel, I read the character analysis of my three selected characters, Offred, Aunt Lydia, and Nick. Then i went back and revised the book to find key quotes to support my descriptions and highlighted them with sticky notes. When we completed the project i feel that i gained a deeper understanding to the meaning of the novel and Margaret Atwood’s reasoning for writing it. Though trying to finish it in time was a bit stressful, doing this project was very informative about how Margaret Atwood came to writing this book and the journey along with it. It also gave me the opportunity to expand on my analyzing skills for English Literature.
What Darwin never knew
on How did the discovery of DNA prove that Darwin’s theory of evolution was correct and how does it change the way we view evolution today and into the future?
Darwin’s went on a voyage in the southern hemisphere in 1835 on the HMS beagle, but primary he went to the Galapagos islands. During the five weeks he had spent there, he observed the animals from island to island, taking notes. When he returned to London after his 5-year trip on the HMS Beagle he realized that the finches had very slight variations between the finches on each island; specifically, that their beak shapes were different because of the available diet, but he didn’t know how the changes had happened. The missing pieces to his work would be found in DNA but since DNA hadn’t been identified until 1953.
Darwin’s research was the foundation of our knowledge of evolution. His book, On the Origin of Species, gave us the ability to discover DNA and genetics. Darwin had found that the tortoise’s shell and neck shape had changed from island to island. The herbivore tortoises that ate plants closer to the ground had shorter necks. That information could be used to compare the tortoises from the 1800s and now.
In the future we can see how the species of the past changed since Darwin had discovered them or in the pas 60 years due to natural selection. We will have more technology and knowledge to take our current knowledge about natural selection further.
