Cubing on my own.

Your body is one of the most important things in your life, something you need to protect with your life or you will... lose your life.  Now that might seem obvious to you, but some people need to learn that the hard way, I was one of those people.

basically the short version is that i was inertubing when I fell off (which is what usually happens) but I didn't land on the water correctly, my back was injured as a result and I have had to live with the conciquences ever sense.
(the long version will obviously be my paper)

what im going to be cubing about is the human body to help me generate ideas and memories about the experience.

Analyze it- The human body can come in a limetless amount of sizes, colors, and mutations, but in general a body will have certain parts.  Some of these parts are not neccicary for life (in todays society), such as the arms, legs, ears, eyes, appendix, etc etc.  Some of the parts that are nececary for life though are the spine, brain, heart, etc etc, all of which need to be taken care of or we parish.

Describe it- What defines a human life?  Is it the pressence of a random collection of cells with varieing energy come together by random chance to create something with order in this caotic world?  Or is it more then that?  Something held together, not by chance, but by design and soul?  Well that is a topic for another time and paper so I'll leave you to make up your mind on that one.  The average human has 2 legs, 2 arms, 1 head, 1 heart, 1 spine, 1 nose, 1 mouth, etc etc etc (there are a lot of "etc" because there are a lot of parts in the human body).

Compare it- The human body is a very unique thing, we lack almost any form of the tipical self defence displayed by animals, as a result of this we are very interdependent and rely heavily on our intelects for survival.  Even though we are very different from most animals there are a few that display some of the same traits and some that even look similar!  This list includes all mamals, especially monkeys.

Apply it- The body is used for litterally everything we do in some way or another.  Everything from eating and sleeping, to designing computers and skydiving.





I'm going to go ahead and post this just to get it out there while I work on my actual rough draft.
