Everything Instinctively Seeks Order
Order is sought instinctively. In Literature, as well as Biology, order is sought
instinctively by authors and scientists. Authors use order to convey real-life incidents
and make their stories seem more realistic. Scientists use a way of classification to
bring order to Biology. The life cycle, as the cycle of a virus, shows order.
The young boy in the short story, "Sunrise on the Veldt," found order in the life cycle.
He sought this order to help him explain the death of a buck. The death of the buck made
the young boy think about the life cycle. He shot the buck, and the buck became injured.
Then the buck died. An organism is born, it grows, it lives for a period of time, then it
dies. The human life cycle is similar. A baby is born. The baby's parents take care of
it, then the baby turns into an adult. The adult lives for a period of time, then the
adult dies. Humans seek order in the life cycle to help explain death. The order in the
life cycle was sought instinctively, because people wanted an explanation of death. The
order in "Sunrise on the Veldt" was shown in the life cycle.
In the novel, The Wave, a teacher sought order to help keep his classroom under control.
The order helped keep the classroom under control. But the students began to notice they
were not thinking, and the order began to tear the school apart. The teacher sought order
because he wanted his students to behave better. Scientists use order to control viruses.
Viruses are classified by several attributes; their shape, the vectors that transmit
them, and their RNA or DNA content. Once a virus is classified, it can be examined, and
controlled. Biologists use order to classify other organisms as well. Charles Darwin
sought order instinctively by becoming a naturalist. He studied animals and plants and
devised a theory of evolution. He decided that variations exist within populations. Some
variations are more advantageous for survival and reproduction than others. Organisms
produce more offspring than can survive. Over time, offspring of survivors will make up a
larger proportion of the population. Darwin believed tha
t organisms produce more offspring so that the stronger offspring can live, but the weak
offspring die. Darwin, the virus cycle, and The Wave portray order being sought
instinctively.
A virus seeks order instinctively. A virus attaches itself to a host. Then it enters
into the host by exchanging its DNA or RNA. The virus then replicates itself, inside the
host. Lastly, the replicated viruses release themselves from the host, and begin to
attack the organism. The virus automatically does this every time it infects a host, not
necessarily in the same order, but by the same method. This order is sought by the virus
to help it infect a host. If the virus began replicating itself before it entered the
host, the virus would not be able to infect the organism as well. The order helps the
virus by helping it survive. The order allows the virus to replicate itself, which helps
the virus to survive. "The Fatalist" also seeks order instinctively. He believes in fate.
A woman wanted to test the Fatalist. She bet him to lie on train tracks and wait for a
train. If a train killed the man it would have been his fate to die. If the train did not
kill the man, it would have been his fate to live. The Fatal
ist sought his order by accepting the woman's bet. By accepting the bet, he put his life
at risk, but more importantly his belief in fate at risk. The train stopped just in time
and did not kill the man. It was his fate to live. Somewhere, there is an order to fate,
fate is a series of events. Order can also be a series of events. However, the Fatalist's
fate was found in the order of the train. The train noticed a man lying on the tracks,
and it slowed down until it stopped.
In conclusion humans as well as organisms seek order instinctively. Order helps authors
relate ideas to real life experiences. The order of events allows their books to become
more realistic. A young boy found order by watching the life cycle of a buck. Biologists
use order to help them classify organisms. Students sought order by behaving better.
Viruses use order to help regenerate themselves. The Fatalist found order by lying on
train tracks.
