Aldous Huxley, the chemical vacationer

Aldous Huxley was a well known write that was often misunderstood because of his drug usage. In Huxley's writing " The doors of precipitation," he spoke about hallucinations because of the usage of drugs. One specific drug he spoke about was Mescaline. Mescaline is an alkaloid drug that produces hallucinations. Huxley was misunderstood because he believed that the usage of drugs enlightened his mind, made him more creative, and gave him a different view on life. Huxley also believed that every so often people should go on a "chemical vacation". Although i did not agree with him, he strongly supported his belief and may even persuade people to go on " chemical vacations" because as per Huxley it would basically help them connect with their inner selves.

Beets are healthy

Beets are high in folate, a type of B vitamin. Beets were chosen for this experiment because it helps with natural tissue growth, which is especially beneficial to children and pregnant women. Three pregnant woman and three kids were chosen for the experiment. They were put to eat beets one time a day for six months. once the six months were over, each person was evaluated and we concluded that by them eating beets once a day for six months it increased their amount of natural tissue growth because beets are high in Folate, which is a type of vitamin B.

Cubism in my eyes

I can not stress the fact that cubism is the most interesting and important style of art. Although it has been neglected for so many years it has it's own importance. Throughout history cubism has been misunerstood because it was misrepresendted so no one really knew what it really was. The art of cubism is very important because it takes one suject and breaks it up to be analyzed and then reassembled in an abstracted form. Now doesn't that sound like an important form of art that should never have been neglected? When people spoke and wrote about cubism they made it seem like it was art that wasn't important and had no meaning, but now that i have told you something about it don't neglect it and spread the word. CUBISM IS IMPORTANT!!
