You may draw on class discussion in responding to one of the prompts, but mainly your essay needs to express your own ideas. I recommend that you write a brief but clear introduction, which includes a thesis statement, a brief but clear conclusion, and at least two or three substantial body paragraphs. Please be sure to give yourself time to proofread and edit your essay before you submit it. 1. Near the end of Rickshaw Boy, Xiangzi seems to have an opportunity to obtain the happy life he has wanted. What causes him to respond to this opportunity in the way that he does? What are a few of the reasons that he waits as long as he does? Please discuss clearly and specifically several of the factors that cause him to do the things that he does in the novel’s final chapters that thwart his chances of a better life. 2. What are two cultural norms portrayed in Rickshaw Boy that are similar to ones in today’s United States? What are two cultural norms in Rickshaw Boy? that differ from those in today’s United States? What are some reasons for these similarities and differences between the novel and today’s United States? 3. In Rickshaw Boy Xiangzi encounters a wide range of people in the city in which he works. What are some of the most important lessons that he learns from these characters? Why are these important lessons? 4. Rickshaw Boy portrays several ways in which women are mistreated and treated unjustly in Xiangzi’s society. What are some occurrences of these, and, based on what Rickshaw Boy tells us, what are the reasons that women are treated this way?

You plate out a liquid culture of E. coli on TSA containing the antibiotic streptomycin, incubate for 24 hours, and observe a single colony. From this you obtain a pure culture of streptomycin resistant E. coli, which you propagate on TSA with streptomycin in the following weeks. You then inoculate your culture onto TSA without streptomycin and continue propagating it over the coming months on TSA lacking the antibiotic. Months later, you discover your E. coli strain is no longer resistant to streptomycin. Please explain this result fully in paragraph form, a minimum of 4-5 sentences. Why was your original colony resistant to streptomycin? Why, months later, did you end up with a culture that was not resistant to the antibiotic?
