     Valerie Everett, author of "Why Bacteria, But Not Humans, Can Live On Caffeine," informs us about the similarities and differences between a human and bacteria.
     The author Valerie Everett informs us by saying, "Bacteria survives on caffeine." In other words, humans need to also consume vitamins and minerals. Bacteria does not need much to live on as us humans do. Without the calories from caffeine, the bacteria would cease to exist.

     The author also states, "We don't have the gears to digest the derivatives further." After taking caffeine it gives our human bodies energy for a while, but then we hit our crashing point. Bacteria does have those "gears" unlike us that is why they rely on caffeine for their calories.

     The author also infroms, "bacterium... it posses several enzymes that do things to caffeine that we can't..." The enzymes help bacteria break caffeine down. Our enzymes and their enzymes differ in the functions that they can do. Bacteria uses the caffeine as a source of energy unlike us we only us it for a short energy boast or just to consume some yummy chocolate.

     The only close relationship that I have with caffeine is candy! And a few soda's every now and then. But candy such as chocolate are high in caffeine. I don't use it as a source of energy I use it as a source of candy! People always say, "I can't live without my coffee in the morning." I'm not a fan of coffee, but those who say that use the coffee as an energy source and will end up hitting their crashing point! We're not like bacteria they rely on caffeine.

     The author Valerie Everett has informed the reader about the comparison between a human and bacteria regarding caffeine.

In an article, published by Fox News titled, "Government report on secret flying saucer program made," informs their readers by telling them about the program and describing the details of the saucer.

Evidence from the report tells, “The NDC in College Park, Md., opened one of more than 100 cardboard boxes from the Air Force recently and came across a 114 page document from 1956 sure to interest the tin-foil-hat crowd; a document describing a secret program by the Air Force to wild a flying saucer.” They tell about how they discovered a flying saucer. There was a document hiding a secret to make this saucer.

The author also explains, “It reveals that the Air Force had contracted the construction of the craft to a Canadian company, Avro Aircraft Limited in Ontario.” They basically planned to make this saucer in a Canadian Company in Ontario.

Lastly they reported, “The disk-shaped craft, which comes complete with an ejector seat and was powered by a ‘ram jet’ was designed to reach a top speed of Mach 4, was designed to reach a top speed of Mach 4 and reach a ceiling of more than 100,000 feet…” The flying saucer was designed to reach a ceiling of more than 100,000 feet. And has an eject seat along with that it reaches a high speed of Mach 4.

I have always thought about how cool it would be if a flying saucer really did exist. As a child, I would remember seeing flying saucers on cartoons.
The author has informed us about the flying saucer they had planned to make.

     It is appropriate to allow one to defend their ideals and not tolerate an other's ideals. How one may ask? One can not frown upon for being perfect at certain areas than others. They have a right to defend they're ideals! Hated by many, Oscar Garcia, deserves respect for being a good test taker. Oscar Garcia, being respected by few, defends his perfections. He doesn't tolerate other's hating on him he simply puts his best foot forward and moves on. You, as a student, lost no respect from myself for defending your ideals. Do not tolerate other's bashing on your ideas.
