Enriched Bio. Hour V. Q3.

At the scene of the crime evidence obtained is analyzed by professionals in a method known as DNA profiling. It is used in courts to provide information such ask; who was there, what may have occurred, etc. Provides sufficient physical evidence in identifying people at the scene and perhaps even catching the perpetrator(s), but identification can be deterred when evidence is contaminated by the DNA of multiple people. DNA should not be denied because it is one of the most accurate tools in finding suspects.

Early years
Kurt Vonnegut was born to fourth-generation German-American parents (Kurt Vonnegut, Sr., and Edith née Lieber), son and grandson in the Indianapolis firm Vonnegut & Bohn. He attended Cornell University, where he served as assistant managing editor and associate editor for the student newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun, and majored in Chemistry. While at Cornell, Vonnegut enlisted in the U.S. Army. The army sent him to the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) and the University of Tennessee to study mechanical engineering. On May 14, 1944, Mothers' Day, his mother committed suicide.

World War II
Kurt Vonnegut's experience as a soldier and prisoner of war had a profound influence on his later work. As a private with the 106th Infantry Division, Vonnegut was cut off from his battalion along with five other battalion scouts who wandered behind enemy lines for several days until being captured by Wehrmacht troops on December 14, 1944. Imprisoned in Dresden, Vonnegut was chosen as a leader of the POWs because he spoke some German. After insulting some German soldiers that were guarding him he was beaten and had his position as leader taken away. While a prisoner, he witnessed the fire bombing of Dresden, also known as the "Florence of the Elbe," in February 1945. Vonnegut was one of a group of American prisoners of war to survive the attack in an underground slaughterhouse meatlocker used by the Germans as an ad hoc detention facility. The Germans called the building Schlachthof Fünf (Slaughterhouse Five), which the Allied POWs adopted as the name for their prison. Vonnegut eventually remarked, "there were too many corpses to bury. So instead the Germans sent in troops with flamethrowers. All these civilians' remains were burned to ashes. Vonnegut was repatriated by Red Army troops in May 1945 at the Saxony-Czechoslovakian border. Upon returning to America, he was awarded a Purple Heart for what he called a "ludicrously negligible wound,later writing in Timequake that he was given the decoration after suffering a case of "frostbite".

Post-war career
After the war, Vonnegut attended the University of Chicago as a graduate student in anthropology and also worked at the City News Bureau of Chicago. Vonnegut admitted that he was a poor anthropology student, with one professor remarking that some of the students were going to be professional anthropologists and he was not one of them. He left Chicago to work in Schenectady, New York, in public relations for General Electric, where his brother Bernard worked in the research department. The University of Chicago later accepted his novel Cat's Cradle as his thesis, citing its anthropological content and awarded him the M.A. degree in 1971.
On the verge of abandoning writing, Vonnegut was offered a teaching job at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. While he was there, Cat's Cradle became a best-seller, and he began Slaughterhouse-Five, now considered one of the best American novels of the 20th Century, appearing on the 100 best lists of Time magazine and the Modern Library.
Early in his adult life he moved to Barnstable, Massachusetts, a town on Cape Cod, where he managed the first SAAB dealership established in the U.S.

Blog Act of Treason (Chapters 39-45)

This may be my last blog post for this quarter, who knows. It depends if Mrs. Jarrett decides to assign another one or not... So this segment will be on the chapters 39-45. My boy Rapp arrives and talks to a guy named Rich who is like some CIA stalker computer genius guy who pulls up data on Gazich and they find out everything and their side of the case starts to pull together even without the tortured confession. Rich somehow gets Gazich's life on his computer. Then Rapp gets shown those dirty pictures from all the way back and then he realizes that it was Stu Garrett who was the culprit of the over all plan and they started to get even closer to the origin. Then it switches scenes to Kennedy and Juarez. Both of them are furious because somehow Rapp's method of information gathering got leaked to the public and they were taking it out a guy named Chuck. Then Rapp and Rivera meet at some random place and start to go through the whole case step by step, every single detail. This really explains the whole book in about one chapter. Rapp told his suspicions about Ross and then showed Rivera the noddy pictures of Alexander's wife. Then they meet with Garrett and Ross, but it isn't until later that the finally figure out that Garrett was also part of this charade. This basically sums up the whole chunk of chapters I said I was blogging about. Sooner or later they will interrogate Ross and Garrett about this and they will get caught and eventually Rapp will get some type of honor in which he won't accept because he is a lone wolf. That is my predicition.

Blog 3/3 of Winter Break Act of Treason (Chp 36-38)

Well, this is the last blog of winter break and school starts tomorrow... So getting to the blog, this starts out with Ross and Garrett meeting up and driving in a limo. They go back and forth on if their plan has been comprimised or not because of Rapp's actions and Gazich being caught. Then Ross spases out at some agent who asks him a question and that just shows how nervous he is. Then Rapp interrogates the "Russian" again. Rapp finds out he actually was Russian and worked for a mob and was sent to kill Gazich after he messed the mission up. But then Rapp tries to go further into information the Russian does not know and the Russian breaks down in tears because Rapp was kicking him. Then Rapp leaves and meets up with Coleman. Then Ross meets up with another random person and they talk about their plan failing again and that they might be caught. But then Ross getse the news that Gazich was tortured to get the information and that means all of that info didn't count because you can't do that apparently. He also found out about Rapp's AWAL which makes everything seem good for Ross for a little while... This is the place in the book where the rebel CIA member comes and owns the cocky bad guy at the very last second. Then he gets mad and dies or something like that because really, outlaw CIA, AWAL, torturer guy... Obvious. That concludes my blog.

Winter Blog 2/3 Act of Treason (chp 33-35)

This blog will start with Rivera all of a sudden denying Rapps talk offer(even though she lost the fight). Rapp shuts her up by becoming extremely intimidating and they start the talk. Then he tells her he found the terrorist. She becomes alarmed and immediately pays attention. They talk about how Rivera's life was really good up until the bombing, now her life is a hole. Then it switches scenes to our old friends Cyrus Green and Speyer. They get together talking about how Gazich was captured and they decide that this is a deep trouble. Green tries to say that it is impossible for them to get tracked down but Speyer has his doubts. Then they call Garrett. Then Rapp visits Ross and Ross gets the news that Gazich has been captured and becomes nervous, but in reality, Rapp has no idea that Ross has anything to do with the case. Ross decides to call up the gang of bad guys to talk. Then again the scene switches to a new guy by the name of Coleman, he's a researcher genius. He did research and apparently the government didn't shuffle the limos, which was what Gazich hoped for, so instead of the president-elect dying, his wife did. Because of this Gazich did not get payed. So all the pieces were starting to fit together. Now Rapp goes and gets excited because he realizes the "Russian" from before was not actually Russian. These chapters are where everything falls together, but these chapters kinda sucked because it was all given information, except the Russian not being Russian which was kind of surprising. Otherwise these chapters were decent. That concludes blog.

Winter Break Blog 1 of 3 Act of Treason (chp 30-32)

This is chapters 30-32 of Act of Treason. It starts as Mitch Rapp calls an old government friend about something. At the beginning of the call his friend just hates on Rapp because everyone is saying that Rapp messed up and got the wrong guy. But Rapp as always stayed calm and just went with the flow. Then he asks to see Rivera. Finally the two are going to cross paths and then his friend replies with a good luck and hangs up, but first he says thanks because his friend believes that Rapp got the right guy etc. Then Rapp went to go visit a dojo, where Rivera was at. As Rapp walks in he sees Rivera and asks kindly to talk to her but then she flips him and his coat rips. That pissed Rapp off so Rapp asked the sensei for a gi(uniform) and he starts a freestyle spar with Rivera. If he won, they talked, if not, he left her alone. Then they start fighting, Rapp slowly paces himself with mediocre kicks to decieve Rivera and Rivera falls for it and taunts Rapp. Then Rivera charges at him and Rapp pretends to barely dodge it and this goes on for a while. Then Rapp closes in for the kill(not literally) and launches a huge kick right at Rivera's ribs. Then there was a crunching noise and they stopped for a few seconds, his kick had broken a few of her ribs. At that point Rivera charged again but Rapp countered and put her into a lock which would make her pass out if she didn't give up, which she didn't. She decided to keep trying and eventually passed out. Later they talked for a bit and it ends right at the beginning of their conversation. This was an awesome chapter, mainly because Rapp kicked Rivera's.....butt. Yes, it was exciting. That concludes blog.

Act of Treason Blog (chapters 24-29)

This weeks post starts with Rapp in a crappy apartment just crashing because he was basically born to do this job and he doesn't want credit so he's laying low for now. Then Brooks goes to a meeting where she is introduced to a new person named Juarez. Then it flips to Stu Garrett, a man we have not seen in the book for a while, at his work place. Then someone by the name of Speyer calls and tells him to meet up with him because they have a major problem. The problem was that Gazich had been caught and the CIA might be able to track him down to Garrett. At this point in the book, we may conclude that Garrett had hired Gazich to kill the president-elect, but blew up the wrong car, because Garrett was the campaign head for the opposing side. Then back to Kennedy, Juarez, McMahon and Brooks. Now they are in a huge arguement about what to do with Gazich because they have no real evidence that Gazich did anything except a confession that was tortured out of him. Rapp then visits Gazich's bank where he talks to the teller and reveals that Gazich had not been fully paid because he did not actually kill Alexander and Rapp tries to take the money givin to Gazich by the employers but instead leaves it. Then it goes back to the Kennedy-Juarez-McMahon-Brooks situation, just dealing with the media. This book is by far one of the better books I've read in my lifetime. So many twists and turns and action. It blows my mind. Amazing. I think when all of this wraps up, Garrett will get owned by Rapp somehow.
