Reckless Walking

post carries three assignments

What was “reckless walking” and why did motorists in cities like Toronto feel by 1925 that governments needed to step in
and discourage it?

2:The Byronic Hero

Define what a byronic hero is. THEN compare and contrast Beowulf and the first Harry Potter novel using the lense of the
byronic hero, and show Beowulf to be a byronic hero, and determine if Harry is.

3:Physiology about Houdini

Explain in terms of integrated physiological functions how Houdini was able to modulate his normal physiology and be
successful at his amazing stunts. Discuss ONLY the possible modifications. For example, as you know, some functions of
the body are involuntary and not meant to be manipulated by the person will. Breath holding would normally result in an
autonomic impulse to breathe, to return the body to homeostasis. What did Houdini need to do to overcome this natural
response? Please discuss the modifications to each physiological system:
-Muscular
-Nervous
-Endocrine
-Cardiovasular
-Respiratory
-Digestive
-Urinary
-Skeletal
