Week 2- I Am a Living Thing

I do believe that the characteristics that define a living thing are correct, but I do not believe that is all that defines you as a living thing.

Living things not only evolve, but adapt to everything around them. As humans, we adapt to locations and situations. Just like creatures in the woods who know to steer clear of a predator, we know to steer clear of someone who looks like they are going to kill us. Our senses are a large part of being alive.
Our bodies are amazing things. The fact that we can survive and fight off viruses shows we are strong. We can't always fight sickness off though, which shows there is room for our bodies to improve and evolve, just like those viruses that adapt to be resistant to vaccines.
