a. I think that the birds began to attack humans because man is throwing nature out of balance. I also got the feeling that the birds were influenced by the others. In the beginning it was smaller birds that were attacking, such as sparrows and tits, then bigger birds like gulls followed, and soon large raptors were pounding at people’s houses. b. I don’t think that an animal population could really turn against a human population. I love animals and everything, but I don’t think they have the mental capacity to plot an actual attack, or even get in such mass amounts like the birds did in the book.
Indians did not want to own domestic animals since livestock husbandry did not fit easily with native practices, the adoption of livestock would alter women’s lives by affecting the traditional division of labor since women were mainly responsible of agriculture production. And the settlers free ranging livestock (mostly pigs and hogs) were feasting on their corn farms. Animal husbandry also challenged native beliefs and practices, since their mental universe assumed no distinction between human and animal being. Instead of recognizing the incompatibility of English and Indian subsystem regimes, colonial authorities permitted joint use of land, which was doomed to fail by the problems that arose from livestock on hunting lands. In 1640 Massachusetts law required settlers to help their fellow Indian neighbors, but this friendly gesture was coupled with stern provisos.
As a kid you always saw sow bugs in damp and dark areas. According to Melville H. Hatch’s, Records of Terrestrial Isopoda or Sow Bugs from North America, where they researched different sow bugs and stated that the sow bugs are not limited to the sea shore, but they are still sound in wet, dark environments. (Hatch, 1939) Also, in Pill Bugs Up Close, living in damp, dark places keeps the Sow Bugs from drying out. Showing why most of them prefer dark, wet places. Sow bugs also prefer dark, damp, covered places because it keeps them hidden from most of their enemies, according to Pill Bug Biology: A Spider’s Spinach, But a Biologist’s Delight.
The plague germs were carried by fleas which lived as parasites on rats. Although it had first appeared in Britain in 1348, the islands were never totally free of plague, but it was like an unpleasant possibility that people just learned to live with while they got on with their business. This time it was different. In 1663 plague ravaged Holland. Charles II forbade any trade with the Dutch, partly out of wise concern, and partly because his realm was
As she got older, she is still afriad of the Radley’s place. Though they never saw “Boo” the stories were what haunted her. Another example would be, the people in Maycomb was also scared of that house. “A baseball hit into the Radley’s yard it was a lost ball and no questions asked.”-(9). The quote explained how that no body wanted to go to the Radley’s place because people were scared of it.
Helen Szazy Mr. Stettes English 101 April 24th, 2009 The TNR project Stray and feral cats are a serious problem in the United States. They can be found wherever there is a good food source for them, such as alleys and abandoned buildings. The TNR project was created because past methods of trying to solve this problem were not very successful. TNR stands for trap-neuter-release. The cats are humanly trapped, then taken to the veterinarians, or wherever the event is taking place.
The dust was so thick that it was almost the same ratio of air and dust floating around. Everything had a light coat of the dust on it. The houses tried to prevent the dust from getting inside, but it did anyways. Many farmers worried about their next move since their crops were not growing.

No matter how many flyers would be sent out to residences, nor how many commercials announced that pesticide would be sprayed on a particular day there are still citizens that would have been uninformed to what was taking place. The poor citizens that do have television and the uneducated citizens that would not understand what they were reading and the harmful effects that the pesticide would have on them would be the ones typically to be outdoors when the spraying is taking place. The agricultural workers in the fields would be sprayed or would handle fruit or vegetables with the residue from the pesticide and get very ill. Killing the mosquitoes is a short term fix, when in all actuality the city needs to take the money donated and educate the citizens and tourist on how to avoid contracting the West Niles Virus. Educating people how to take care of themselves is a long term solution that will not cause irreparable damage to the
The first reason that the novel should not be taught again is that it is mostly taking place in the fake world with magical elements and creatures made by the evil. For example, the other father, the rats, the old man, Miss. Spink, and Miss. Forcible. “There were all sorts of remarkable things in there: windup angels, books with pictures that writhed and crawled that shimmered; little dinosaur skulls that chattered their teeth as they passed.” All of these show that
Joshua Holmgren Art 101 12/03/2012 Art Museum Evaluation When I first learned that I would need to write an evaluation paper for class, I was less than excited. However, after spending the time in the class learning about the different styles of art, their influences and origins, I was able to enjoy my visit to the St. Louis Art Museum much more richly than I ever had in the past. I have always enjoyed visiting the Art Museum. Unfortunately, my lack of knowledge of the subject left me there simply looking at the paintings, sculptures, fabrics and exhibits without being able to see it with a critical eye, or to even truly appreciate what the artist was trying to capture in their piece. In this paper I will be sharing my thoughts
