The second poem ‘’Presents from my Aunts in Pakistan’’ is about a mixed race girl who tells us about the gifts she receives from her aunts in Pakistan. She likes these vibrant gifts but feels weird wearing them because they are uncomfortable and she prefers wearing English clothes-‘denim’ and ’corduroy’. She tries to imagine what her homeland (Pakistan) is like for she traveled to England when she was just a few months old. She feels as if she doesn’t fit into both countries and thinks she’s all alone. The poem Half-Caste is about Jhon Agard who is mixed race.
There is a 250,000 dollar fine for anyone who is caught fishing for a Great White. If I were in charge of trying to keep the Great Whites from becoming extinct, the first thing I would do is make sure that the seals and sea lions are protected, because without them, the shark would not survive due to a lack of food sources. Next, I would make it a heavier fine for anyone caught fishing for the sharks. Because these are a rare breed of shark, it will be hard to monitor their numbers, but I would want to tag as many as possible, so I would be able to study and track where they go.
I personally can relate most to the fact that she was very embarrassed on her first day, and found that tasks that seemed simple enough, like using a cash register for example, are in fact very difficult. I felt the exact same way when I showed up to Tim Hortons for my very first day of work. They had told me to wear any black running shoes, so I went home and dug up my old pair of puma running shoes. Not until the morning of my first shift did I realize that “black running shoes” in fact meant very specific black safety shoes. I feel as if Margaret felt the same way as I did when we both showed up to work in the wrong attire.
Their narrow pointed teeth are ideal for holding prey, most of which is swallowed whole. Tests on the feeding habits of angel sharks have shown that they react to any passing prey, spitting out anything that does not appeal to their appetite. They have complete faith in their camouflage when approached by divers but will inflict a shallow bite if harassed. The various species of Angel sharks range in size up to 6.5 feet (2 m) long and are mostly bottom dwellers that live on ocean floors of depths from 10 to 4,300 feet (3 to 1300 m). They sometimes prefer however, sandy near shore habitats.
To achieve the persistency of Time, Slessor uses a study in contrast of the chronometers in ‘Five Visions of Captain Cook’ to show that despite their difference in how they keep time with the personified Kendal “Climbing out of Yesterday” and Arnold always “hurried with a crazed click click”, both shows that Time will move on and as it goes on, we will as well. Time matures us and leads us to see things differently. Julian Croft articulates “the desire to escape the limits of normal Time and the inability to do so constitute an unresolved obsession in Slessor’s poetry”. Slessor also illustrates the idea of how time changes everything through the metaphor in ‘Elegy in a Botanic Gardens’ as a journey where the once peaceful gardens that stimulates young love and sensual delight into the stale and cold autumn, “where Spring had used me better” and “so be it now” This can be further
Shubin shows how fin structures of fish like Tiktaalik mark the beginning of the evolution into the mammalian paw and opposable thumb structures in the hands of today’s primates. The significance behind Tiktaalik is how it proved to be the missing link which greatly shows the transition from fish who swim, to four-legged vertebrates. Neil also states that all creatures in the world are built similarly to one another. Creatures such as whales, birds, and humans have single arm bones that each lead to two others, that connect to fingers or our toes. In us humans, this shows up in the humorous, and they go through the radius and ulna into our wrist bones and fingers.
He looks at as his individuality and strives to let the teacher as well as the class know that he is proud of who he is. The two poems have many similarities and differences. We see that one main similarity is that both authors are in a battle of whether or not to express who they are. In “White Lies” Trethewey uses her advantage of being mixed to decide whether or not she expresses which side she wants to be seen. In “Theme for English B” Langston knows that there is no way possible for him to hide that he is black, unlike Trethewey, so he decides to be proud of whom he is.
As a materialist Picard sees no difference between Data and himself because they are both have the same mental and physical capabilities. In arguing Data’s case materialism would have problems with the first law of logic which states “Something cannot both be and not be at the same time and in the same respect (Foreman, p. 116).” In Picard’s view Data is the same as him so the law is not contradicted, but a strong argument can be made that Data is undeniably a man-made “thing” so it cannot possible be a “thing” and a human at the same time. Maddox’s belief that Data is just property is based on the Dualism view of the “Mind-Body Problem”. Dualist believes are that “human beings have both physical properties and mental properties. Physical properties are properties of the body while mental properties are properties
In “What the Honey Meant,” Cindy Bosley describes what means to her. To others, honey is just something created by bees or the sweet stuff people put on a biscuit. For Cindy Bosley honey has a much deeper meaning. Like Bosley, I have something very dear to me that have a deeper meaning than to others. When Bosley sees the honey, it reminds her of the day her father abandoned her family.
The Hero! My customer service hero is Jan at Wal-Mart in Woodburn. It was my youngest son’s first birthday and I made the mistake of going in last minute, two hours before the party, to pick out a cake. I had already been to the Wal-Mart in Salem and they had minimal options of cupcakes. So I chose to chance going into Woodburn without a cake and try the Wal-Mart there.
