Madame Loisel from “The Necklace”, greatest desire was to be wealthy and to have beauty in everything. For example,…

The Effect of Caffeine on the Metabolic Rate of Goldfish Intro/Materials and Methods For this experiment, the hypothesis is that there is a difference in the metabolic rate of goldfish, measured in oxygen consumption, when the fish are in pure water versus when the fish are in water with 25 mg of caffeine. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between in the metabolic rate of goldfish when the fish are in pure water versus when they are in water with 25 mg of caffeine. Results…

(Reebs, 2008, p.1). Moreover, many assume that goldfish do not have a memory since goldfish always seem like they are hungry, since they are always seen foraging for food. However, as a long time goldfish owner, I have witnessed my goldfish swimming to the top of the tank whenever I approached their tank or when they heard the creak of the hood of the fish tank as I opened it to feed them.

Even though my dad and I will always be confused. The grandfather then walks…

Everyone has their own opinion about change, some like a change in scenery, others, like myself, hate it. Change can be shown in different ways. In the three short stories, “The Lottery”, “American Flag Stands for Tolerance”, and “What, of this Goldfish, Would you Wish?” all have examples of fearing to change. Although we might not always agree with it, change is bound to happen. Some people are afraid of change, it means things will be different, and some people who have been accustomed to one…

reviewed. The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis, change in temperatures does effect goldfish respiration rate, was accepted. Goldfish are considered ectotherms which mean that their body temperature changes as their environment temperature changes (White and Campo 2015). Ectotherms have two aquatic ectotherm strategies they use to cope with cold temperatures. The goldfish in this experiment used the first strategy, which is to slow down their metabolism. By slowing down…
