Paul Thompsn describes a massive loss of brain cells and therefore brain conections in those areas that are related to impulses and to self control as an event that occurs in all teenagers, and considers this loss to be the cause of many teenagers' reckless behavior and mental confusion. While Dr. Thompson does not consider this scientific finding a justification for violent actions like the shooting of a teacher by Brazill, he does prove that an adolescent's brain is not the same as an adult's and therefore the trial of Nathaniel Brazill should not be based on the same criteria as if he had planned his actions with an adult's mind and deliberation. Dr. Thompson's description resulted in his being sentenced for second-degree murder, rathen tthan for first-degree murder as he would have been, had he been an adult.

Answer:

Hello. You did not show the texts to which this question refers. However, I can make a strong difference between the play "Pigmalion" and the musical "My fair lady" is that the musical features the pronouncing exercises "the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" and "In Hertford, Hereford, and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen ", while the play does not present these exercises.

Explanation:

"My fair lady" and the play "Pygmalion" tell the story of Eliza, a girl who grew up on the outskirts of her city and cannot speak the English language correctly, presenting several pronunciation errors. However, she starts taking classes with an academic and strong connoisseur of the standard language that teaches her to speak correctly and promotes many changes in her life.

Sophie [7]

Mammals (Mammalia) are a class of vertebrate homeothermic amniotes (of "warm blood") that possess milk-producing mammary glands with which they feed the young. Most are viviparous (with the notable exception of the monotrematas: platypus and echidnas). A clear example of a mammal is man and his best friend, the dog.

This should not be included in the notes, because it is scientifically approved that mammals have the capacity to produce milk and give this food to their young, which is vital for humans or dogs as in the example
