The theme of “what do fish have to do with anything?” is that unhappiness can sometimes cause someone to be blind and ignorant towards others needs. For instance, Willie’s mom does not want him looking or talking to the homeless man on the streets. She tells her son this because she is unhappy so she does not see what the man is going through and instead says “He is sick do not look at him.” Another example is that Willie’s mother does not like answering Willie’s questions concerning others needs. She does not answer willie’s questions because she could honestly care less about a problem that is not hers. She could care less about other peoples problems because of her unhappiness. To illustrate, at the end of the story the mother has the

When an individual is struggling in life nothing positive comes to mind. Asking for help is something not everyone is comfortable with so they only rely on themselves. Any stranger can approach a person that may seem like they are struggling and help without them expecting it. Some may expect family or friends to help when in need, yet they are the ones that don’t help. A significant theme in Finding Fish is the people who we least expect to help are the ones that actually help the most.

“You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.” This quote from Albert Einstein raises importance to the universal theme of true love. This theme can be seen in the Italian story “Poor Fish,” where the main character had low self-esteem. Later in the story, he met a girl named Ida and started gaining more confidence in himself. Another story that demonstrates true love is the Chinese “The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband.” This story revolves around the lives of a married couple in which the woman is taller than her spouse. In the story, no one believes that they are in love and they start suspecting that Mrs. Tall only married for wealth. However, in light of the tragedies that happen, true love is exemplified in the end. These stories demonstrate

One of the first things that he runs into his a porcupine that gets into his shelter and priks him. He also runs into a skunk that sprays him. “Stumbling and tripping, he scrambled into the water and slammed his head back and forth trying to wash his eyes” (130) So he builds a nice woven door for his cavern to keep things out. The next disaster that he runs into is that he his don gettin a drink when a moose comes and attacks him. The moose really hurts his ribs and he keeps moving on and gets back to the shelter. Then that same night a tornado comes and takes everything from him and puts him back at square one, with just his hatchet. However the tornado is what basically saves his life because he sees the plane tail and thinks about the survival kit on the inside. He tries and tries to get in and can’t until he bangs his hand off the plane and sees that he can get in by making a hole. He gets in and dives for the survival kit. This is where he almost doesn’t move on he sees the pilot down there only it is basically just a skeleton. He flips out because the fish have been eating him to and he has been eating the fish. He come back then goes back down for the survival kit. If he wouldn’t have gone back down and got it he would have never gotten the emergency transmitter that a local plane gets and comes gets

Now as a group, we had to come up with a plan on how to survive until help arrived. The goal was to come to a consensus as to what steps should be taken until help arrived. There was urgency with the situation, as the plane had crashed in a desert. The conditions the survivors faced were not only immediate but also extreme.

Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell is a book that provides an in-depth analysis of United States Imperialism in 1898, particularly the annexation of Hawaii and its citizens. During the year, not only did the United States conquer Hawaii, but also grew their empire in Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba, and the Philippines, securing their status as a super power. After studying the Gilded Age and the United States’ imperialism tactics and reading Vowell’s work, it is easy to see a trend of how the U.S operated and the lengths that they went through to grow their empire. “Vowell uses her perspective and opinions to take you through the annexation of Hawaii and why it was important not only to her, but to history as a whole. The book consisted of multiple

The outer germ layer is the ectoderm that forms the outer part of the body (the skin) and the nervous system. The endoderm, the inner germ layer, forms many inner structures, including the digestive tract and many glands associated with it. Lastly, the mesoderm is the middle layer which forms much of the skeleton and muscles.

The allusive bluefin tuna is one of the largest, fastest and highly sought after fish in the wild sea. The Bluefin tuna can weigh over half a ton, grow to over four metres in length, and dive to depths of 1,000 metres. They can reach speeds of 70 miles an hour and even raise their body temperature far above that of the surrounding water in order to traverse arctic waters. They are among the most ambitiously migratory of all fish, with some tagged bluefin being tracked swimming from North American to European waters several times a year. The bluefin tuna is unique, a perfectly adapted products of evolution. They are also dangerously close to becoming extinct (Brown). Today, the bluefin tuna has been fished out by 97 percent from pre-fishing

The book Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin is an interesting novel that shows the evolution of some of our major structures through time. We all know about evolution and the monkeys but we never really looked in on evolution through “our inner fish”. The book was appealing because it helps to understand how we have come to be with some of the parts of our bodies we take for granted, like how we got our developed smell or our advanced color vision. Your Inner Fish is a good way to jump into the evolution of our ancestors and become more knowledgeable about where we came from.

Human and fish are not closely related on the outside. Most people would not see how we can share same features with fishes, but scientists do know that these two species share homologous features. These features imply that human and fish are related in the lineage of chordate because human shared homologous features with fish. Homologous features shared by human and fish lighten up the evolutionary pathway from the earliest vertebrate by sharing similar structures of the hands and fins. The development of teeth that diversified into features that showed up from the skin, and down to the instruction that made us who we are. The similar bone structures and genetic made up are just modification that we have and they are modification of what
