Gentically modified organisms is the process of gentic material being altered in a way that does not occur naturally that is being injected into plants and animals that we eat that can cause us to get sick and may can cause death. A person diet thatbis high in processed foods can lead to causing them memory loss ,obesity,and modd swings .nutrition labels on processed foods are often misleading and have harmful effects and have been links to many forms of cancer . I came across a story of pigs being bututred and having pus filled abscesses and still being chopped up and sold for people to eat. I also came across things thats hidden in some of the foods that we love to eat on this website http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/07/gross-ingredients_n_4063894.html   Also a report of a guy that cause of death mightve been from gmo since he ate an tomato that was injected with fish genes in it . http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/doctors-confirm-first-human-death-officially-caused-by-gmos/

Freak shows became mostly popular during the mid 16th century in England .Freak shows became a peculiar attraction during the Victorian era. The Victorians loved freak shows they were very fascinated in things about death so to see living things so scary like that drew their attention.The conjoined Colloredo twins in the 1630's was how the freak show was born. With limited access men and women of the 19th century were intrigued by touring  .The rise of Darwinism increased fascination with the human form and its abnormalities .These shows became very successful and became a hot commodity.When appeared to Queen Victoria and then became even more popular .By the 1950's the freak shows then disappeared .

Why do you think he book is titled "the great gatsby"

      I think the book is titled that because is helps with developing the theme of the book which helps expand Gatbsy's character . In the book Scott Fitzgerald made sure to show the readers how interested nick and many others were in Gatby's life . He showed how Gatsby had the biggest mansion was the richest person in Long Island how he had the biggest mansion and threw the most epic parties in the city that everyone knew about but only few were invited . Gatsby was an local celebrity that many people looked up to .He was the person that everybody was curious about and  had a story to tell about him . He was man with so much fame that rose to the top of his society by his money his parties and by his lies . So in my opinion the book might be titled this because of how he went from rags to riches which is considered the American Dream . 

Blog post 2 - valley of ashes

In the book the Great Gatsby the valley of Ashes" a place where the ashes grow like wheat into ridges and take forms of houses with a ash grey of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air ,a place where it's bounded on one side by a foul small river that passengers on waiting trains can stare at the dismal scene for as long as half an hour . "This place  represents where the people who don't have a lot of money live . It represents the difference between The rich people and the poor people which you see when Tom goes and see Mr. Wilson and Myrtle. This is the poor section of the city that shows the difference between where gatsby, Tom, and ,daisy live from George and myrtle'a world . This is the place they say Dr. Eckleburg's billboard watches over .
