In this movie, there was a little town, with a coal mine. Most of the people in the town, worked on the coal mine all day long. The coal mine was the heart of the town or in other words the town was owned by it. Also, every store, restaurant, and all the houses were owned by the coal mine. But there was a person who wanted more than to just work on the coal mine, and his name was Homer. Homer wanted to build rocket ships for a living. Then, Homer knew he couldn't do this alone, so he asked the most unpopular kid at school, and he would have to do it at his own risk of being called a looser. But, Homer didn't care, he just blocked it out and they made a rocket that worked with a little help from Homer's older brothers. And finally, in the end the rocket flies and Homer learns that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Breast Cancer Response

I didn't even know that breast cancer was discovered in the 1600's. I have some questions for you, that i would like you to answer for me. My first question is, could you get breast cancer from just laying down on the coach or simply eating the wrong foods? This brings me to my next question, how do you feel about breast cancer? Also my last question is, do you know how many people in the U.S, support or help to raise money for a cure for this disease? Your breast cancer blog sounded good and it had lots of awesome facts. In other words, I liked it and it was interesting too. By any chance would you ever help find a cure for breast cancer? And finally, I am glad I read your blog because now I learned something I didn't know and I learned something new.  

Duchene Muscular Dystrophy

The genetic disorder that I have researched was Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. Duchene Muscular Dystrophy is a disease that have many symptoms. Such as, you may go through an awkward manner of walking, sleeping, or running. I would really hate to have a disease like this one because it is very fatal and disheartening to have.  There is no cure for this disease, but the doctors have a special therapy for it. Also, it was discovered by Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchene, in 1861. You may witness this disease from late teens to mid 30's, but some people have it for a longer period of time. The disease affects one in 3,500 males in the world. Most of the time, males get Duchene Muscular Dystrophy and females can be the faithful carriers. Scientists believe that this disease is caused by a mutation in the (gene DMD), located in humans on the X-chromosom. To find a new treatment for Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, all you have to do is to check if you have it or anyone in your family had it but the process of finding a cure is annoying because you have to go through tests and other procedures. If I had a chance to help find a cure for this disease, I would be down to the lab so fast before you could even say "go." And finally, if you want to make a different on society, you should see if you can help out or test some cures for this disease.
