...able to see many different primates, some more common to us than others. The three primates I took my time to observe were Orangutans, Chimpanzees, and Gorillas. Each of these primates have a common ancestor with us, the homo sapiens. From observing these primates closely I was capable of seeing why we share so many things alike. These animals not only share a common ancestor with us but they share many traits that we humans have. The Pongo Pygmaeus and Pongo Abelii, stated on the plaque, were the first primates I closely observed, we know them as Orangutans. These Orangutans came from the tropical forests on Sumatra and Borneo, shown on the plaque outside the captivity, so there captivity habitat was made similar to the tropical rain forest they are naturally from, informed me the zookeeper. These Orangutans eat mostly fruits and leaves, as shown from written information on the captivity, and from what I saw they eat lots of it. The biggest orangutan in the captivity was a 265 pound male that can get up to 300 pounds since its still growing, the zookeeper informed me. Then I asked “who are bigger males or females?”, the zookeeper told me that makes were much heavier in weight and were taller. In this orangutan captivity I saw six orangutans, two of them were a mom and her 1 year old baby orangutan, I was told by the zookeeper. This baby was beautiful and would only be around her mother, there was not a second she would separate from her. From my observation I saw them...

...problems in search of the lost treasures the garden holds. The rich imagery Esperanza weaves into her description shows the evasion of her problems: “There were sunflowers big as flowers on Mars and thick cockscombs bleeding the deep red fringe of theatre curtains.” The images of Mars and the theatre imply entering a fictional or distant world without everyday challenges. In addition, the kids on Mango fabricate rumors that align the Monkey Garden with the Garden of Eden, “Somebody started the lie that the monkey garden had been there before anything.” Through her escape into fantasy, Esperanza kept her innocence. Through it, she stayed a child until the next day. Despite the seemingly irrevocable purity of the Monkey Garden, Sally’s kissing game with the boys not only defiles the image of the Monkey Garden but also substantiates the gender inequalities suffered by the women of Mango. Esperanza’s love for Sally drives her to protect Sally against mistreatment. When Esperanza talks to Tito’s mother about his exploitive game, she becomes a symbol of the women on Mango Street. “Those kids, she said, not looking up from her ironing. That’s all?” The implications of this simple response show the social situation the ladies face. The ironing, a...

He offered her a ride home, since she was still mostly dry she said yes. Right after she got into the car she keow that she had done a mistake, she thought the chemistry they were having at the party was strong, she was so wrong. The air in the car sizzled with hot chemistry now. she tried not to look at him. But she could tell out of the corner of her eyes that he was eyeing her out. When they got to the only stop light between where the party was and her house, she was hoping it would be green, but it was red. After the car stopped she could feel his eyes raking over her body now that he did not have to look at the road. She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks and the wetness coming between her legs. Then she felt his hand on her thigh, slowly working its way up. suddenly she wished she had not put the lace panties on under her skirt before she had left. She knew that if his hands got up far enough they would get to her wet panties. Just as they were about there the light turned green, and she cursed in her head, how much she hated that light now. But his hand never left her leg, it was just on her knee now. His thumb slowly going back and forth across her knee making her wetter. In the three more blocks to her house, she did not want to have to get out...

I heard his voice start to fade away. Wait, Whats happening? I look around the ballroom and back to Kai. The world was fading out and replaced by a soft feeling on my lips. I tried to open my eyes, but I had blink a few times to clear my vision. Kissing. Someone was kissing me. It was a boy with light pink hair wearing a hoodie covered in hearts. His eyes were closed as his tongue explored the side of my mouth. "W-What are you doing?" I stuttered after he pulled away. His eyes opened to reveal two gold colored orbs. I covered my face, a burning sensation began in my...

...My Mother and her Sister a) Analysis and interpretation of: ”My Mother and her Sister”: “My Mother and her Sister” is a short story which was written in 1996 by Jane Rogers. The story is written with a first person narrator. We’re not told if the narrator is a male or female, but I would guess that it is a female, because she is taken care of her aunt, and she is thinking about food and grandchildren. This says female. Also, a man wouldn’t care so much about serving a good dinner, but she is very absorbed in food and gets sad because she can’t make a proper meal. The story is written in an informal language with direct speech, which gives the readers an opportunity to feel as if they were a part of the story – this makes the story reliable. Lucy and the narrator are the main characters. Dorothy is the mother of the narrator and Lucy’s sister. Lucy stays with the narrator because Dorothy is dead. Lucy is 75 years old, and after 49 years of marriage Lucy has become a widow. She has 5 children and she used to be the perfect mother. She didn’t go to work, she stayed home making jam, knitting cardigans and making home cooked meals for the family. Now Lucy has become elder and she has in someway changed to the opposite of what she used to be. She now has the same routine every day: “she goes to bed at nine, gets up at half past eight, rests in her room from two till four each afternoon” (line 40) she no longer has a interest in talking and she prefers meals made in the microwave...

...No cell phone reception? There was a banging coming from the living room. It took me a second to hear a little girl yelling, “Ms. Mason. Ms. Mason. Open the door please.” I knew that little voice, Christine Collins the girl next door I watch. Tears rolling down her face, “Please it’s my mommy…help her.” Christine’s mother was lying on the living room floor. “Mrs. Collins? Can you hear me? It’s Beth.” I glanced at Christine whose head was berried in her hands. How do I tell an eight-year-old girl her mother wasn’t breathing? I pulled her next to me, “Sweetie” before I could talk she spoke, “Is she asleep like my daddy, Ms. Mason?” I have forgot that her father passed away less than two months ago. I just nodded, “Can I come with you?” kissing her head, “Of course you can. I can’t leave you here alone. Go get some things together.” I had no way of calling 9-1-1 so I laid a cover over her. Christine came out of her room with a book bag and a stuffed teddy bear. We went back over to my house. “Ms. mason?” I stopped her, “Christine I am only 18 you don’t have to talk to me like you do my mother honey. You can call me Beth.” She smiled, “Okay. Um Beth where is your mommy?” We got in my small two door car that looks like it could fall apart any second. It was hard to get down our street, cars where just in the middle of the road. I threw a jacket over Christine’s face. I didn’t want to see bloody people on the ground or leaning half way out of their car doors. What in the world...

...Finally, on Doodle’s sixth birthday he has the ability to walk, astounding their family. “I helped Doodle up, and when he was standing alone I let them look. There wasn’t a sound as Doodle walked slowly across the room and sat down at his place at the table. Then Mama began to cry and ran over to him, hugging him and kissing him. Daddy hugged him too, so I went to Aunt Nicey, who was thanks praying in the doorway, and began to waltz her around” (434 lines 172-176). While Brother helps his younger sibling accomplish an enormous milestone he contains a sense of guilt. “‘What are you crying for?’ asked Daddy, but I couldn’t answer. They did not know that I did it for myself; that pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all of their voices, and that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother” (434 lines 179-184). Once again his actions reflected pride rather than the love and care for Doodle. His parents believe Brother truly loves and cares about Doodle as a brother. Little do they know Brother only cares about himself and...

...Survival Training: U.S. Coast Guard Style COMM105 04/18/2010 Survival Training: U.S. Coast Guard Style Survival of the fittest has always played an important role in the advancement of the Human race. Our ancestors learned how to adapt to the harsh environments where they lived in order to survive. Ancient civilizations like the Native American tribes learned to hunt animals in large numbers and preserve the food they had, in order to make it through the cold winter months. Much like it was hundreds of years ago, today some people are still learning how to adapt to their environments in order to survive. My experience in the U.S. Coast Guard while I was stationed in Alaska is a constant reminder that adaptation to your environment is vital for survival. Enlistment In the early winter months of 2002, I enlisted in the United States Coast Guard with the hope of finding a direction for my life. I had signed all the necessary forms and waited for the date in January when I would be flown across the country to Cape May, NJ in the dead middle of winter. What had seemed to be the longest eight weeks of my life, up to that point, had finally ended and I graduated from boot camp. From Cape May, NJ I was sent to Yorktown, VA for six months of specialized training in order to become an electrician and serve my duty to my nation onboard the ships of the U.S. Coast Guard. With my new training fresh in mind and an excitement normally felt by small children awaking...

...In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, there is a distinct development of emotions and symbols, and one of the key vehicles for illustrating this change is the final line of each chapter. Hidden within each final sentence lies an inner message that either pulls together a major theme in the chapter leading up to the sentence, or is a harbinger of the coming chapters. Beginning with the final word in chapter one, “darkness” (21), and concluding with the novel’s final word, “past” (180), Fitzgerald uses simple closing words to represent a deeper, continuous meaning that pervades the book. By doing this, Fitzgerald is able to outline major themes in the novel, including facial expressions, honesty, and balance. Most clearly and powerfully, however, the outline of lightness through positive imagery and darkness through negative imagery is presented in the final lines of each chapter. By grouping the chapters by hopefulness shown in their respective final lines, a trend is apparent. In chapters one through three, the final lines provide a dark, sullen preview for the chapters to come, while chapter four provides a transition into the final lines of chapters five and six, which signify a brief sense of giddiness that begins to darken. Finally, the last lines of chapters seven through nine mark the development and completion of the violent “holocaust” (162). Supplying a preview at the end of chapter one as to the violence to occur later in the novel, Nick says he is “alone...
