Shanice was a vibrant 16-year old who was enjoying her high school years. As a good student, she loved attending school and woke every morning eager to start the day. A popular girl, she was surrounded by many friends who all enjoyed each other’s company.
From an early age, Shanice had been susceptible to recurrent viral and bacterial infections. No matter what she tried, she tended to have numerous infections every year which put a damper on some of her social activities.
Recently, she had been experiencing recurrent lung infections, spending a week in the hospital with pneumonia and recurrent herpes viral infections. Concerned over these recurrent infections, Shanice was sent to an immunologist for further consultation.
Tests were performed to evaluate the number and activities of her B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells. Results showed that Shanice had low numbers and decreased activity of her natural killer cells.
Keep in mind that natural killer cells are part of the innate immune response.

“Exploring Literary Form and Content: A Critical Analysis of a Work, Author, or Period in English Literature”
ALL SOURCES MUST BE IN ENGLISH AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE “You will complete a 2250-2500 word literary analysis (not counting the works cited
page). This literary analysis must focus on one work, author, or literary
period covered in the assigned readings prior
to the submission of the paper. You must rely on a mimimum of 7
scholarly sources in addition to the literary text(s) you analyze.
In this research
paper, you will interact with the periods, authors, and ideas covered in the
literary selections you will be reading. This assignment should not select
literary works from the Ryken or Veith books. Rather, you should focus on a
specific literary work or author assigned in the course (Chaucer, Dante
Alighieri (Inferno), Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theolgiae), Anselm of Canterbury
(Proslogion), The Syrian: Pearl (Hymns 1-7) Tertullian (The Apology Parts 1-3)
for example) OR you may choose to research a particular period of literary
history (the Middle Ages, for example).
To analyze means
to break down the subject of study into its constituent parts to show how it
functions in a specific way. In this analysis, you will support an arguable
claim about how the literary work or time period works in form and content. Your
approach can range from a focused analysis of a literary work to a broader
analysis of the shared literary forms of a specific time period.” -
