Throughout history, people have attempted to enhance their personal odor by using perfumes that
emulate nature's pleasant smells. Today, most perfumes contain chemicals which are linked to
hormone disruption, reproductive problems, and even cancer. Some products are even perfumed
with industrial odorants to mask unpleasant smells or to appear "unscented"(World of invention,
2006). There are specific chemicals being used in perfumes that have been found to be toxic.
The article Perfume (2006), from the peer reviewed World of Invention says that there are basically
fragrances, alcohol and other stabilizers in perfume. However, according to EWG (Environmental

3. What is Olfaction?
Olfaction And Pheromones What is Olfaction? Olfaction is another word or a synonym used for the
ability to smell or smell that anything carries with itself. It is by far one of the oldest senses that
human and animals have carried likewise for ages. It allows organisms to identify food, as well
allows them to copulate and evade the threat and danger posed by other predators besides providing
sensual as well as warnings of danger pleasure. For both humans and animals, it is one of the
important means by which our environment communicates with us and they communicate with it
vice versa. So in other words it is the means via which one is able to interact with whatever is
around us. In light of what has been mentioned in this very brief paragraph imagine what it would
be like if there was no sense of olfaction? What are odors (examples)? The odor of flowers and
perfume, smell of danger like smell of something burning, intoxicants, smell of food and spiciness,
smell of something being stale or dead and even smell of someone that you know as being around
you through their body scent and perfumes. Animals often mark their territories by smell and young
animals are able to trace their mothers through the same sense of smell while they are unable to see.

5. Descriptive Essay : The Day Of My School
PLAYGROUND: BRING! BRING! BRING! The dynamic sound passed over my head. I
immediately responded to it by covering my two fragile ears with my two small hands. The ringing
bell was ear–splitting, but I was happy that I was finally dismissed. As soon as I escaped from the
school building, I quickly approached a lovely playground. The playground was enormous and
colorful. There were lots of slides, swings, and seesaws everywhere. My most favorite out of all was
the swing with black seat and two chains tied to it. When I reached to the swing I was exhilarated
and excited. I sat on it and prepared to utilize my legs to taste the sweet windy air. I stretched my
legs as straight as I could and inclined my rest of my body opposite direction. I pressured my legs to
push the air and the swing has begun swinging. The sensations of flying and falling were great as I
expected. The wind which was created by my action was wonderful and even beautiful. The touch
of the wind was smooth and fresh. The sound of the windy air was euphonious and harmonious. I
felt nothing but the positive senses. It was majestic and impressive. All I have to do was vacant my

Trailer "Stop and smell the roses" is a famous idiomatic reference many make when they want to
convey the importance of appreciating the beauty of life. But have any of us imagined what it may
be like to NOT smell the roses or anything for that matter? Humans often take their sense of smell
for granted, as they rely more heavily on sight and sound in day–to–day activities. Yet smell–in my
opinion– can be such an important aspect of life as the brain has the capability to associate smells
with danger and it can even elicit memories. For example, the odor of smoke notifies us that
something dangerous could be happening, or walking into a bakery with the smell of fresh chocolate

"The most common causes include head injury (common in young adults) and viral infections or
Alzheimer disease in older adults" ("Loss of Smell–Ear,Nose, and Throat Disorders"). Head injuries
may result in anosmia due to "damage or destruction to the fibers of the olfactory nerves where they
pass through the roof of the nasal cavity. Sometimes injuries may also cause a fracture to the
cribriform plate" ("Loss of Smell–Ear,Nose, and Throat Disorders"). Infections and tumors near the
cribriform plate also can damage the olfactory nerve. Some less common causes of anosmia include
the overuse of antibiotics ,which may kill off all the olfactory neurons at once. If the cause is due to
sinus infections or irritation, doctors may suggest a treatment of steam inhalation, nasal sprays,
antibiotics, and occasionally surgery. If a tumor near the cribriform is causing the individual to lack
olfactory abilities, then surgical removal and radiation is typically the course of treatment. However,
in causes where anosmia resulted from head trauma or undiagnosed causes there are no current
treatment options.

11. The Effect Of Cologne On The Body
The Effects of Cologne Can the way a man smells actually affect his life? Can buying expensive
cologne give him more confidence or make him irresistible? Cologne advertisers would certainly
seem to think so. In truth, scents can affect an individual in different ways. Certain scents can have
particular effects on the body, and they can actually alter the way a person behaves or perceives
himself. Scents that work positively with a man's body chemistry can actually change the way he
acts or thinks. However, when cologne ads promise men that they will be handsome, successful,
powerful, and talented because of the scents they wear, the industry begins to sell them fantasy
rather than reality. Advertisements for cologne are very unique. Cologne ads usually portray a
message that says "wearing this will make you attractive" or "you will be more powerful by wearing
this cologne." Most of these advertisements feature men, since men are their target audience.
However, some other advertisements feature women, since women sometimes buy cologne for men
as a gift. Some advertisements, like this one, feature celebrities. Having a good–looking celebrity,
such as James Franco, draws in the attention of viewers. This advertisement does a great job of

The commercial of my choice was the Old Spice ad that is advertising their new line of body wash
that is advertised having "odor block" power. The commercial is made by old spice and has a lot of
ethos, pathos, and logos throughout the commercial, and is very effective at all three. I think that the
commercial works and gets straight to the point in a very short time. Its main goal is to sell and
make money off their product that is said to keep you smelling god and stopping odor from coming
off you. They use a very famous actor, Terry Crews, to tell you that the product works and he even

It demonstrates how he washes his body and it takes immediate effects in stopping the odor. Another
instance of the commercial using ethos is how often the ad and all the diversity in each one being
played everywhere on everything, which shows that they have a good feeling that people will see
this and purchase the product from them as soon as possible. The brand of Old Spice already does
have a good reputation and is one of the leading brands in men's health and cleanliness behind Axe
brand. So it doesn't need as many appeals to ethos because they already have good credibility and
most people know the name and will trust them. The uses of pathos is how he seems to be screaming
at the audience which may seem to intimidate them into buying the old spice body wash. He seems
over excited and is very big which may make you feel like if you don't buy it then he'll do
something about it. There are a lot of different emotional appeals through this commercial that will
affect many people in different emotional states while hearing the commercial. It is very effective
and is the most predominately used rhetoric device used in the commercial. Another emotional

15. Raskolikov's Theory In Crime And Punishment
Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment analyzes a provocative theory constructed by the main
character, Raskolnikov. His theory divides ordinary and extraordinary people. According to
Raskolnikov, ordinary people have no opinion of their own, being just mere followers, while
extraordinary people craft new opinions for the society. Extraordinary people are prone to greatness,
being therefore justified to act in any way in order to achieve it, even if it means to kill or steal. An
interesting example Raskolnikov makes is:

Lycurguses, the Solons, the Muhammads, the Napoleons, and so forth, all of them to a man were
criminals, from the fact alone that in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This theory can also be applied to Patrick SUskind's novel Perfume, more precisely to the main
character, Grenouille. Ironically, if Raskolnikov was not able to live up to his own theory and prove
to be an extraordinary individual, Grenouille becomes one without realizing it. I will further on
expand my argument by investigating Grenouille's motive, technique of conducting the killings and
his relation to guilt.
Grenouille's unique gift allows him to understand the world in a way that no one else can. He never
forgets a scent by labeling them in his palace of odor and by constantly combining them in the most
beautiful ways. Moreover, he knows that attraction is based on scent "... this scent will be ripened
and take on a gravity that no one, man or woman, will be able to escape. People will be
overwhelmed, disarmed, helpless before the magic of this girl, and they will not know why"
(Suskind 171).
Grenouille's motive of committing all those crimes is concentrated around a superior idea, a great
one: creating the most extraordinary perfume in the world, a perfume that will allow him to rule
mankind by combining the scents of the most exquisite

Review of Literature
Introduction to shoe odors In today's society foot odor has become a major problem for some
people. The medical name is bromodosis, and it can affect anyone. There are various conditions
causing this problem as well as odor in a person's shoes. The main cause of smelly feet is sweat, but
there are also a lot of other factors and medical conditions that can lead to this smelly condition.
These conditions can vary from diseases to stress. There could also be conditions as minor as not
drying your feet after a shower and wearing the same pair of shoes over and over again. There are
various ways to combat foot odor and shoe odor, ranging from home remedies to over the counter
products.
II. Causes of foot odors Sweat is moisture exuded through the pores of the skin, typically in profuse
quantities as a reaction to heat , physical exertion, fever, or fear. According to podiatrist, Lorraine
Jones, feet become smelly if sweat soaks into shoes and they don't dry before you wear them again.
Then the bacteria on the skin breaks down the sweat as it comes from the pores. A cheesy odor is
released as the sweat decomposes which causes the bad odor on your feet. Your feet hold more
sweat glands than any other part of your body. Sweat glands are a small gland that secretes sweat,
situated in the dermis of the skin. Such glands are found over most of the body, and have a simple
coiled tubular structure. The main function of sweat glands is to keep your skin

Miss Emily Grierson, the main character in the strange short story "A Rose for Emily" written by
William Faulkner. It would be best to examine her in a mental capacity as well as the circumstances
that may affect her. Throughout the story, Miss Emily's unpredictable and eccentric behavior
becomes unusual, and the reader, like the townspeople in the story, is left to speculate how Miss
Emily has spent years living and sleeping with the body of Homer Barron. An important quote from
the story was that the townspeople "did not say she was crazy" at first (Faulkner 159), and even so,
she was never diagnosed nor received treatment by a psychiatric professional. The reader can go
back through the history and point out occasions in which Miss Emily's mentality and actions
suggested the probability of a mental illness. This knowledge can support the claim that Miss Emily
suffered from schizophrenia as defined by the American Psychiatric Association's DSM–IV criteria
(American Psychiatric Association 159). It is realistic to suggest that Miss Emily developed this
mental illness as a response to the challenging conditions as a Southern woman from a high–class
family. When attempting to diagnose a mental illness, one of the important factors that a doctor
examines is the patient's prior history. In the situation of Miss Emily, an evaluation of the setting and

to be possessed by the devil. An infant is not yet a human being; it is a pre–human being and does
not yet possess a fully developed soul. Which is why it is of no interest to the devil. Can he talk
already, perhaps? Does some evil stench come from him?" (10). Starical is the thought that France
was a stench driven monster during the eighteenth century rejects a boy born with no body odor but
is endured to have an incomparable power to detect even the most diluted of smells in France.
Baptized by Monk Terrier in the name of a saint– John the Baptist who also was decapitated adds
the irony element to the opening. He has to bear the name in his mother's shame for the rest of his
life. Almost all those who touch Grenouille's life end up in demise. Early childhood is laden loveless

29. Olfaction And Brain Analysis
Olfaction is, by definition, the sense of smell. Olfaction and gustation, the sense of taste, are closely
related and complement each other. Because olfaction is controlled by the limbic system in the brain
it can invoke feelings, memories, and other sensations. Although it is a primitive sense, and one
needed for survival, it is incredibly complex. For example, the brain analyzes over 300 odor
molecules to identify the smell of a rose. When humans smell things, there is a process in which the
brain interprets the molecules in order to understand what is being sensed. First, vaporized odor
particles, or chemicals, reach the nostrils and dissolve in the mucus that lines each nostril and the
olfactory hairs (cilia). Just the structure ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
There are 10,000 tastebuds on the surface of the tongue, cheeks, and soft palate that help humans
take in stimuli about what they are eating. These tastebuds are responsible for interpreting six
different types of information on food: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory (umami). Sweet food is
an indication that the food is high in sugar and its derivatives fructose or lactose. Sour food is
mostly acidic and includes things like lemon juice or organic acids. This sensation is caused by
hydrogen ions. Food containing table salt is perceived as salty, but presence of potassium or
magnesium can also cause a salty sensation. A bitter taste is a response from the body that the food
being consumed is poisonous and dangerous to survival. Most bitter tastes come from poisonous
plant roots. Lastly, the savory taste, or "umami" taste, comes from amino acids such as glutamic acid
or aspartic acid. High amounts of glumatic acid can be found in cheese, ripe tomatoes, and meat.

Deodorant plays an essential role in your daily routine, but while your deodorant may be keeping
you dry and odor–free, it could also be increasing your risks for serious health problems in the
future. When you turn your store–bought deodorant container over, you'll most likely see a long list
of ingredients you can't even pronounce, including one in particular that has gained a lot of press in
recent years, aluminum.
Why Aluminum?
Aluminum has been present in both deodorants and antiperspirant since the late 19th century. While
deodorant itself underwent various incarnations up until the late 1970s, aluminum has remained a
primary ingredient due to its unique abilities to interact with the skin and sweat glands. Alumium
ions impact the eccrine–gland ducts right near your skin's surface. These ions are drawn directly into

Looking closely at the brain, researchers found two to three times the levels of aluminum in those
impacted by Alzheimer's than in a normal brain. The element was also found in neurofibrillary
tangles within the brain, and rabbits injected with aluminum were more likely to form these tangles.
As research regarding this disease has progressed, less emphasis has been placed on tangles and

33. The Shift Of Perfume
Analysis of the shifts of Grenouille in Patrick Süskind's Perfume
In Perfume, Patrick Süskind writes about the life of an extraordinary boy named Grenouille in 18th–
century France. The author presents the shifts of existential thinking of his main character
throughout the book. The main purpose of living for Grenouille mirrors that of every other human
being – to discover the world, with his exception of seeking only the scenting part of it. The series of
events in the boy's life develop his character and the various goals he strives for: survival, odor
education, perfume making, peace, own smell, smell extraction, and to die.
Grenouille's birth is the start of his first ordeal. In order to survive, his first, primal instinct tells him
to make a cry, not for sympathy and love, but cry for a life. Suskind uses a contrast to show how the
neatly born baby brings "himself to people's attention and his mother to the gallow" (21). The
miserable birth or the option of a "modest exit" do not affected the nearly mature decision of
Grenouille to grab the opportunity of existing, "sparing the world a great deal of mischief" (21). His
tenacious character is shown from his ability to take all of the power of his nurturer. He ... Show

as Grenouille's –– scentless. Drowning in his non–existing smell, the dreamer wakes up with a new

and certainly lost. I looked at my phone and I had no cell service and then I hit something with my
car. I pulled over and when I got out of my car I could see that I had hit a tree branch and it had
punctured my tire. I started to look around and when I looked to my left, my blood started to turn
cold when I saw a deserted log house. I decided to walk towards the house feeling incapable to
walk. I could smell this really bad body odor coming from the house. As I approached the house I
saw a wide open gate and I was feeling a bit audacious, to walk through it. The odor started getting
stronger and stronger so much so, it was to the point where I felt like my nose was going to fall off.
My curiosity was getting the best of me and I was intrigued to find out what the horrific smell could
be. As I walked through the gate and felt my heart skipped a beat, and my blood went from warm to
cold in an instant, I was paralysed. The impulsive smell, was the rotting flesh of dead bodies. I
walked backwards out of the gate and ran to the front of the house only to find that there was a
missing row of logs and dead bodies lying in their place. I walk back to the back of the house warily,
vary wary. I walk passed the gate more than I did before and see a tire, I run up to it feeling relieved,
to only find out it has been popped. A cold sweat ran down my face when I realized I had to go into
the house. The weathered door creaked ominously on its rusty hinges as it slowly opened.
When I went into the house I felt a sense of concealment. I could smell the rotting wood and flesh
that was unbearable. I´m in the house and I take out my phone, and I feel relieved when I see I have
cell service. Then something hits my phone to the ground and breaks my phone. After a while, my
heart was pounding like a jackhammer something broke my phone. I decide to go upstairs, and on
my way out of the corner of my eye I see a black face just staring at me. My blood went to ice, my

Our bodies need to sweat to allow for the release of toxins, and by blocking pores, you remove one
of your body's routes for detoxification. Additionally, it raises the question of where the metals are
going once you roll (or spray) them on.
Research, including one study recently published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, shows that
aluminum is not only absorbed by your body, but it is deposited in your breast tissue. It can even be
found in nipple aspirate fluid, a fluid that reflects the microenvironment in your breast.
Researchers found that the level of aluminum in nipple aspirate fluid was significantly higher in
women with breast cancer compared to healthy women. These results suggest an indication for
raised levels of aluminum as a biomarker for identification of women at higher risk of developing

Though often added to non–organic deodorants and antiperspirant, aluminum is one of the worst
metals you can put on your skin, and it may lead to health issues when applied to the body.

ABSTRACT
Most conventional deodorants and antiperspirants contain several ingredients linked to serious
health effects, from Alzheimer's disease to virulent cancers. Since deodorants and antiperspirants are
designed to stay on our bodies for hours, this allows the potential for more harmful chemicals to be
absorbed through the skin.
While natural options are available, many people complain about the inadequacy of natural
deodorants to adequately mask body odor. There is now an abundance of alternative options–many
improved upon since their initial introduction several years ago–that may inspire us to think again
about incorporating natural deodorants into our body care regime. This article attempts to ... Show

The antiperspirant label may list aluminum as:
aluminum chlorohydrate
ammonium aluminum sulfate
potassium aluminum sulfate
aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly
Aside from aluminum, most antiperspirants also contain parabens, antimicrobial agents derived
from toluene–a toxic petrochemical derivative. Some evidence suggests that repeated exposure to
toluene may contribute to hormone disruption.
Thirteen research studies performed since 2000 have shown that various types of parabens act like
estrogen in living tissue. Estrogen is known to drive the growth of cancerous cells.
Some people with sensitive skin have an allergic reaction to parabens, which results in a skin
condition known as contact dermatitis.
Antiperspirants also have harsh astringent salts containing metals that can cause granulomas (small,
itchy bumps) on underarm skin.

It is summer time, and most of you are on or will go to summer vacations. It is not surprising that
when summer vacations are pronounced aloud, they are mostly about going to coastal cities. Well
when going on a seaside vacation, there are several warnings you should keep in mind and be
cautious about them. You basically should have guessed by now about what I will talk about today,
swimming in the pools or the sea, sun bathing, playing under the sun, eating at hotels, and basically

The area around the pool, must be paved with smooth and non–slippery stones.
The should never be an odor in the pool. The density of chemical odor is one of the odors that
should not be felt in a pool. There wouldn't be a chemical smell where there is enough circulation. If
the degree of chemical smells that disturbs you in the pool, it means that there is a circulation
problem.
If pool pump and filtration filters are working as they should, you can easily hear their sound. Listen
to the sound before you start swimming.
While you swim outside, never forget the big picture that may threaten your health. I am talking
about sun safety and what you can to protect yourself. You should always avoid the sun during its
peak hours. Although it differs by your region, this is generally between 10'o clock in the morning to
fourteen hours in the afternoon. These are accepted to be the dangerous hour for sun exposure, since
skin damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun comes right at you, even on cloudy days. You
should also wear protective clothing against the sun. I know, everyone would love get a tan! Note
that you can get your tan in the afternoon, instead of cooking yourself under the sun. Protective wear
is just like what you generally wear, but only they should be extra light so that you wont sweat a lot
and loose water! And of course you should use sunscreen. When it is summer, every specialist talks
about health options in sunscreens so I don't want to give redundant information about them. But I
have heard lately that some people claim that sunscreen use encourages excessive sun exposure and,
as a result, increases the risk of skin cancer! Well there is no strong literature advocating this claim.

'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer', by Patrick Suskind, is an exciting novel which revolves around
a physically normal but quite young protagonist named Jean–Baptiste Grenouille. This remarkable
young boy stands out above the rest. His extraordinary skill, although quite unorthodox and unusual,
manifested his mind at a very young age and adhered to him for the remainder of the book. His skill
was the ability to perceive, document and archive thousands of olfactory senses and distinguish
them from one to the other in a matter of seconds. His extraordinary olfactory skill brings
Grenouille through many horrific experiences, however it leads him to something much greater, his
personal identity. Throughout the novel we see Grenouille go ... Show more content on

It is evident throughout many places in the book that Baldini's perfumery skill are quite poor and
much of his success is based off of other people's work. This is in complete contrast to Grenouille,
whose love and talent for olfactory senses far exceeds Baldini's. This is evident when Grenouille
awakes from his sickness and states, "Tell me, maftre, are there other ways to extract the scent from
things besides pressing or distilling?" – (104). Baldini quickly responded and told Grenouille that
there were three other ways in which he could extract scent, however these methods are only present
down the south of France. It is evident that Baldini and Grenouille share major differences when it
comes to natural talent, as Baldini can no longer make perfume, while Grenouille is one of the most
naturally gifted perfumers in the whole of France. However it is also evident that this horrific
experience that Grenouille went through, with the disease known as small pox, led him in the search
for his own personal identity as a perfumer as it is only after recovering, did Baldini allow
Grenouille to travel to the south of France in order to obtain these new techniques. One of the main,

50. How Does Starvation Affect Larval Behavior
Starvation impacts larval behavior as measured in the two–choice assay a) 3rd instar larvae: From
previous studies of our lab (Newquist, Novenschi et al. 2016) we learnt that each larval ORN is
functionally diverse and each ORN differentially contributes to olfactory behavior in the Drosophila
melanogaster larvae. Based on these results, we postulated that individual ORNs might be
differentially modulated under starved state conditions. To begin to address this question we started
with a panel of seven different odorants from the panel of 19 different odorants published in the
study by (Mathew, Martelli et al. 2013). Each of the seven odorants elicits a strong, specific
physiological response from a single ORN (Or 47a :: ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Larvae on each half are counted, RI is calculated using simple equation RI =(S–C)/(S+C) [S denotes
number of larvae on the odorant/test side and C denotes number of larvae towards the control side].
The data from this experiment is presented in Figure 1. When tested for odorant acetal, starved
larvae showed higher RI when compared to non–starved larvae. In other words, starved larvae have
a stronger attractive response towards acetal compared to the non–starved larvae. Next, we looked at
the olfactory responses of the remaining six odorants from the panel of seven that were mentioned
above. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, starved and non–starved larvae were subjected to
the two–choice assay after 2 hours of the starvation protocol. Data collected for all seven different
odorants are shown in Figure 2. Of all the seven odorants tested, only three odorants showed
significant changes in response indices upon starvation. Acetal (shown in Figure 1), 4, 5–
dimethylthiazole, and pentyl acetate were the three odorants that showed higher RI values for
starved state larvae when compared to non–starved larvae. In other words, for these three odorants
starved larvae had higher attractiveness towards odorants compared to non–starved larvae. This
supported our hypothesis that individual ORNs might be differentially modulated by the animal's
starved state. b) 2nd instar larvae: Next, we looked at the olfactory behavior response of 2nd

52. A Short Story : The Story Of The City?
I felt my heart hammer and my legs weak. That tiny dot, the city, from the start of the day had made
me the tiny specimen instead as I stood under its giant wall. A girl can't help but feel nervous as she
entered a new chapter in her life.
It was evening and my treacherous long journey across the jagged rocks and down the steep
mountains had led me finally to the city's gates. It was beautiful, it was everything I hoped for as I
took in the firm yet glimmering poles that stood side by side to form the impressive fence that
separated China's main city from the countryside. It was like a forbidden land that allowed no one to
trespass into its territory, having two guards to ensure that this happened. The guards looked firm
and stoic as they presented themselves in front of the gate that gave entrance to new lands.
"Pardon me," I vocalised. "I have applied to reside here, may I pass in?"
The two guards gave me doubtful and apprehensive glances. I flashed my documents in response
and with firm hands, they snatched my documents of civilian rights. They grunted once they were
satisfied with my permit and begrudgingly opened the gates. I could hear the clanging of the chains;
the signal to a new world opening up to me.
A gut wrenching feeling washed me as I caught the quick glances of the guards. A flash of pity and
remorse. Strange I thought as I walked into the gates.
"It's ..." I stammered. "It's ...oh! My merciful mother?"
There before me was a city not of my dreams but a city of every person's nightmare. There in this
secluded fortress were not civilised citizens but primitive living organisms. The scene of a perfect
capital enriched with refined inhabitants had been shattered. Instead, reality crashed onto me; dead
corpses laid along the streets, little children malnourished, women cries for help echoed across the
city and worst of all the guards who were to protect its people stood by and watched with delight.
"What a sadistic society––"
My soft whisper was interrupted by a rude hand and catalysed a gasp from me. It was from a
random much older man with a repulsive smirk on his face. His head shone from the sunlight due to
his untamed and greasy hair. His body odour hit my nose with repugnancy and made

Punishment or Treatment :The Criminal Responsibility of the Mentally Ill The representation and
discussion of mental disorders have drastically increased during more modern times. Through the
development of studies on psychiatric disorders and biological deficiencies, assessment and
treatment have slowly replaced the criminalization. Unfortunately for the protagonist of Perfume, an
unfortunate individual born with both situations, lacked all resources of treatment and sympathy,

it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it."
― Patrick Suskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Body odor is an unpreventable component of
animals including humans and it is primarily resulted from skin glands or sweat gland excretions.
Body odor may give the impression of being absent on certain individuals because its intensity is

individual secretes a scent that is distinctive and identifiable. Researchers also show that Newborn

effects of the natural and artificial scents that impacts knowledge. Süskind accomplishes
Grenouille's rejection of his true inner–self through the rejection of the natural scents and through
the acceptance of the artificial scents. Throughout the novel, Süskind symbolizes scent as the ability

perfume. Although the scents help Grenouille to assimilate into society, he does not have the ability
to gain anything from society ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Perfume hides the body odor that emits from the human body, just as science withholds important
information from society to protect the minds of the citizens because science sometimes contains
information that may be too much to handle. When science claims a discovery, it sometimes ends up
being ridiculous. Süskind mentions several philosophes, however, one philosophe in particular,
Marquis De Sade, closely relates to Grenouille in the sense of living a life unbound by religion or
law. Süskind shows the absurdity of science when Talliade–Espinasse claims that the Earth's
poisonousness gas makes men die and that a bull's semen can produce a milk animal–vegetable
hybrid. Since society learns from science, they believe every theory that presents itself to them.
Süskind's method for revealing deception intertwines with irony and satire. He accomplishes this by
creating confusion within society, like the citizens of Grasse look for the murderer, when the readers
already know who the murderer is. Grenouille's odors confuse the citizens because his odors deceive
their perceptions. However, science tries to increase the amount of knowledge available, whereas
Grenouille manipulates perfume to acquire whichever items necessary. "His odor of innocence
touched" the heart's of others making them to believe that his character consists of loyalty and good
behavior, but underneath the odor that emits innocence, lies deception (183). "Another perfume in
his [Grenouille's] arsenal was a scent for arousing sympathy that proved effective" to deceive others
to provide him with the items necessary to extract the odor of the girls, which remains to be the
essential ingredient for his artificial scent (183). As science continues to progress throughout the
novel, Grenouille's ability to extract scent increases. Though in the end, science is deceptive, the

Know Sweat: Falsehoods and Facts You Probably Don't Know About Antiperspirants...But Should!
By Merilee Kern, MBA
Sweat understandably gets a bad rap. It can ruin our hair; our clothes; our furniture; our mood; our
image at home, work and socially; our ability to exercise, play music and handle gadgets; and far
more. And while men tend to sweat more than women under normal circumstances, both genders are
equally impacted by hyperhidrosis–a serious medical condition causing people to sweat excessively
(up to 4 or 5 times more than normal). In fact, according to the International Hyperhidrosis Society–
the scholars of sweat–nearly 367 million people of all ages struggle with hyperhidrosis on their
hands, feet, face, underarms, or body.
Those living with hyperhidrosis suffer from extreme, uncomfortable, embarrassing, and

dedicated to developing treatments for chronic skin conditions – is rife with scary hyperhidrosis
statistics and sheds revealing light on this debilitating sweat–inducing condition.
Whether you sweat situationally at a normal level or have clinical hyperhidrosis, there's one shared

In eighteenth–century France, the standard of hygiene was at an all–time low. In Patrick Süskind's
novel, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, hygiene plays a key role in developing character behavior.
Süskind portrays a setting of poor hygiene in order to conceal character motives. This is evident
through several main characters and several other minor characters such as Grenouille's mother,
Father Terrier, Grenouille, Grimal and Taillade–Espinasse. Understanding how Süskind manipulates
hygiene to disguise character aims enables the reader to have a better knowledge of the human
values and morals of the time period. Initially, the odor and conditions near Grenouille's birthplace
desensitize his mother's cruelty. First, Süskind sets the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Süskind affirms Father Terrier's disgust of Grenouille with, "Terrier shuddered. He felt sick to his
stomach. He pulled back his own nose as if he smelled something foul that he wanted nothing to do
with", and hints that Father Terrier's repulsion of Grenouille stems from his own poor personal
hygiene (17). Süskind masks the similarity of Father Terrier and Grenouille with Father Terrier's
exaggerated disgust of Grenouille. Father Terrier employs the excuse of Grenouille's lack of typical
poor hygiene to validate giving him away and thus Süskind uses hygiene, or a lack of, to conceal
Father Terrier's true goals. Furthermore, Süskind exaggerates Grenouille's sensitivity to the smell of
other characters and settings to distract from Grenouille's desire for acceptance by society. The
elaborate descriptions of malodorous fragrances that Grenouille experiences isolate him from the
rest of society and create a void in which Grenouille needs to fill with normalcy and approval.
Süskind first distinguishes Grenouille's sense of smell from an average person's, "He gathered tens
of thousands, hundreds of thousands of specific smells and kept them so clearly, so randomly at his
disposal, that he could not only recall them when he smelled them again, but could also actually
smell them simply upon recollection", and then progresses to Grenouille's pleasure of

Suskind uses literary historical details to narrate the story of a self–obsessed man, who commits
horrendous crimes to achieve his objective. In the narration, Suskind carefully crafts the historical
importance of the Age of Enlightenment. That was an important period in European History
because, the age of Enlightenment encouraged Europeans to shift away from the religious based
understanding of the universe. Suskind wrote "Perfume" when rational thinking superseded the
common perception about the religious side. My discussion on the literary historical details will
primarily focus on Suskind's portrayal of a self obsessed man in 18th century Paris with reference to
the age of Enlightenment.

The spirit of human generosity repulsed him so much that he did not hesitate to enjoy killing women
one after another. Grenouille's sensibility and addiction in a way reconstructs a different perception
about the age of Enlightenment. Grenouille's lack of scent is not just lack of a body odor, but also
the lack of morals, "because a reader can see that Grenouille is someone who has the physical
characteristics of a man but without the substance that fully establishes one as a human being. The
sense of smell itself is always a way in which a person's soul is identified, without the ability to
smell or produce a body odor, one cannot detect the soul of a person." [3] A good sense of smell is
relatable to human generosity, warmth and passion, Suskind writes about Gaillard, "For good all
sense of smell and every sense of human warmth and human coldness, indeed every human passion.
Without that one blow, tenderness had become as foreign to her has enmity. Joy as strange as
despair". Thus, Grenouille's obsession for producing the perfect smell can be interpreted not only a
form of self gratification but also creating a soul for himself because when he kills his victims he
extracts their body odor, thus extracting their essence and rendering them soulless. In so doing,
Grenouille in fact gruesomely acts against the very principles of the age of Enlightenment, and thus
an antithesis of the human spirit of warmth, sensibility and humanity at large. Grenouille shows a
conflicting personality because even though he lacks body odor, he feels that his inner most being is
wonderful. While describing Grenouille, Suskind writes, "He wanted to empty himself of his inner
most being, of nothing less than his inner most being, which he considered more wonderful than
anything the world had to offer". This shows Grenouille really believed in the superiority of his

Looking at how all babies cry at the time of birth does make this point unlawful but it was the
timing that Grenouille had started to cry that makes him a true monster. He cried out loud as soon as
his mother had left, tossing the knife on the ground, which alerted the village that something was
going on. Most caretakers usually take a liking to the one they care for; however Suskind chose not
to display that loving relationship. In the quote," They put her in a ward populated with hundreds
[...] of total strangers, pressing body upon body with five other women, and for three long weeks let
her die in public view"(Suskind Part I, 5), Suskind furthers the concept of black humor. Every
character that Grenouille had a relationship with died. In this case it was Madame Gaillard who had
put Grenouille to hard work feeling no affection towards him. She became tired with him as he
sucked the life out of her and gave him to Grimal, and eventually suffered from this choice. Madame
Gaillard had gotten cancer that slowly killed her. This affected Grimal later when he sold Grenouille
to another person. Grimal's life was taken the night Grenouille was sold. Grenouille is a monster in
Perfume because of all the adolescent women he murdered, the death of his mother and for his
caretakers dying after they left him. Grenouille had a strong sense of smell, which no other being

Salvation Army Thrift Store or with guidance on where the item they are in search of, could possibly
be found in another Findlay community service based agency. One of the main services that the
Salvation Army took pride in was the adopting of families, affected by poverty, for Christmas.
Representatives from these poverty families all over Hancock County would fill out a Christmas
application form in late October, in hopes that they would get "adopted out" by local businesses,
schools, and donors that would buy clothing and toys for members of the family. One of the
volunteers that worked at the Salvation Army, named Linda, revealed that by the end of the
Christmas applications for

75. Purdue Is A School That Is Cold Most Of The Academic Year
Purdue is a school that is cold most of the academic year. There is a little while in the fall when
students first arrive that is warm, and then it gets really cold. This encourages students to stop
wearing deodorant because they think that they can get away with it and for the most part they do
get away with it. Then at the end of the academic year the season turns to spring and it starts to get
warmer outside. This means that people start to get sweat and smell more. The problem is that these
students are now trained to not wear deodorant. This is troubling because body odor is disgusting.
We thought that it would be a good idea to remind these students, whether they are lifting or even
just going to class, to put on deodorant. It will save the that student from being bothered about it and
the other students from having to smell it. We went about the research and production in a few steps.
First we made a power point video and then we did a voice over on the video. The video was made
from slides of words and pictures that we found on the internet. We also found data on the subject.
One fact that the Daily Mail found out was that one in five men admitted to never using deodorant
or any other kind of body spray (Tozer, 2011). We also found out through the Huffington Post that
deodorant has antibacterial that stops the stink of body odor before it happens while antiperspirants
deal with sweat directly (Klein, 2013). The final fact we found that was interesting is

Introduction
Learning is defined as the process of gaining knowledge of something or how to do something. As
human beings, we tend to learn different things in the society we live in. learning is essential in the
development of both physical and mental growth of human beings. Learning in human beings is
based on what we are able to retain about the new aspect that we have learnt. According to Thomas
leahey human beings can forget 78% of whatever they have leant in 6 days if they do not review it
in the within the six day of learning. Learning is related to other aspects of life such as perception

If perception is inaccurate, incorrect or altered in any way – problems with reading, spelling,
handwriting, math and comprehension occur. Visual perceptual skills involve the ability to organize
and interpret the information that is seen and give it meaning. The importance of visual perceptual
skills in academic success is agreed upon by many, acknowledging reading would not be possible
without adequate visual perception. (www.advancedvisiontherapycenter.com)
Without accurate visual perceptual processing, a student would have difficulty learning to read, give
or follow directions, copy from the whiteboard, visualize objects or past experiences, have good
eye–hand coordination, integrate visual information with other senses to do things like ride a bike,
play catch, shoot baskets when playing basketball, or hear a sound and visualize where it is coming
from (like the siren on a police
