Amazon Jungle Research Paper

I am your pilot this morning, and I will be taking you to Newark, New Jersey. The flight will be about three hours. Sit back, relax and have a good flight. I looked to my left to see my parents on their phones, not paying attention to any of their surroundings. There was a long line of people in the aisle waiting to take their seats, each person pushing large suitcases. In the row across for us, Jack was sitting in the row seat listening to music. Since there was four of us Jack had to sit by himself with two other strangers but he didn’t mind. The engines suddenly started to roar as I started to get pushed gently back into my seat. The front of the plane started to rise from the ground and as soon as I noticed we were up in the air. I took a deep breathe as I took my backpack out under the seat. I grabbed my new book “Looking for Alaska” and began to read. One of my friends gave it to me as a going away gift because she knew I loved to read. After a while, my mind slowly started to drift off onto a whole different planet. I was still in shock that I just left all my friends and I was moving to New Jersey. The whole situation was not processing through my head and I thought that we were just going on vacation to New Jersey, and we were not actually about to live there. Even thinking about having to make new friends and joining a new soccer team sent chills down my body. I am always shy around new people and now I have to break out of my

We proceeded through the security section of the airport and subsequently located our gate. As we waited, my sisters and I marveled at the planes taking off and landing behind the large transparent windows. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of waiting, it was time to board the plane. Soon afterwards, I found myself drowning in a sea of tiredness. I woke up to an air-hostess offering a tray of food—pretzels, bread, butter and some fruit salad. I devoured the meal to realize that the plane would reach London’s Heathrow Airport in a mere thirty minutes. After the plane landed, we followed the same pattern of going through security, locating our gate and waiting at our terminal. However, to our surprise, a ticket agent revealed that our flight to Dallas had been cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. He

The jungle by Upton Sinclair has made me realize how history shaped what america is today. It was in this book that raised the spotlight on many topics including: meat handling, minimum wage, workers compensation, sexual harassment, child labor and most importantly the right to express one's thoughts. Now we live in a country that not only honors our freedom but respects and looks over our health. The jungle takes place in the 1900s when over 9 million immigrants were flocking to America searching for what was known as the American dream. So was this particular lutheran family that came to America for just that. Not knowing that in the end they would be contributors of the awareness and importance of checking meat handlers.

The Native Amazonians want to preserve the Amazon Rainforest because it is their home and has been for the past 12,000 years and they don’t seem to be moving anytime soon. One and a half acres of rainforest is being cut down every second. The Amazon is being destroyed at the rate of 20,000 acres per year. It is predicted that the Amazon will be gone in only 50 years. They don’t know anything else but home.

Rainforests are woodland of tall trees growing in a region with year-round warmth, and abundant rainfall. Tropical rainforest are only located 6 to 7% of the Earth's surface but they support more than half the world's plants and animals. In spite of the benefits, people cut down thousands of square miles of rainforest each year for its resources like medicine and food. Since most of the plants and animals live in rainforest most of the Earth's plants and animals are dying and being endangered. There are still many rainforest left around the world. They are mostly found in the lower part of the equator.

On the article “Amazon rainforest losing ability to regulate climate, scientist warns” discuss that Amazon rainforest’s capacity of regulate the weather climate is becoming lower now and its a problem because it might be connected with others problems in the world for example the plaguing Sao Paulo. Scientists noticed the if the forests problems become bigger the consequences will become worse and what was the possible cause at the plaguing in Sao Paulo. The author said that before the problem in Sao Paulo people known about the problems and had a lot of alarms there, but now they will finally pay attention in what is occurring in the world and hopes that they do something to change this scenario.

The amazon rainforest is so important to so many people in the world, the people that live there, and even the people that don’t. I know that a lot of people would disagree with me and say, “why is the rainforest so important, it’s just made up of trees”. But, it’s not, maybe to them but the Amazon is so much more, to so many other people. Some people think It’s just so beautiful and we shouldn’t destroy something that beautiful. To others, it’s their home. Would you like to destroy this people’s homes? Don’t you want to help these people and animals. There are only so many naturally grown forests in the world, lets protect this one; it might be are last.

The largest rainforest in the world, that humans have been benefiting from for hundreds of years is being deforested without opposition. Notably, this rainforest is the Amazon, and many people neglect the destruction happening in the rainforest and do not realize that thousands of acres of land have been deforested. Although plants in the Amazon have been useful for medical applications, deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is detrimental to it’s biotic species because it creates disorder in the habitat.

Three Reasons to live in the Amazon Forest. I have watched a few documenteries pertaining to the Amazon Forest and also on the people. The History Chanel also says that the people are afraid of the” Outside “world “, that would be beyond the Amazon Forest. Amazon Forest are not contained by today’s technology. For example, there are no cell phones, to search the internet or even skype family members across the sea of state. Second the transportation in the forest is still believed to be the original: a horse and plulled buggy, boats, and the be just your feet. There are not any computerized vehicles such as: cars, truck, or even suvs to drive back and forth around the forest. The

The airplane was my death bed. Or so I thought. I took a flight to the Philippines to visit my grandma. As I was slowly teetering on my way to the restroom, I felt dizzy, light-headed, and confused to the point that I did not know how to open the bathroom door. When I returned to my seat, I felt shivery and sluggish. I realized I had a fever.

Turbulence from a rainstorm over Nebraska caused us to slow down and now we only had four minutes to catch our flight. We took off out of the plane and down the corridor. We got to the plane just in time, to see it getting taxied to the runway. We asked a tall lady with a blue and black vest on if their was anything she could do to stop the plane.,she replied saying their was nothing she could do and we would have to go to the help desk at the front of the airport. We walked down the hallway discouraged knowing that it wepould be hard for us to get another plane in this prime travel season. When we got their they said there where four seats left, dispersed around the airplane. My dad said we'd take them. Their was one problem, the flight didn't leave till tomorrow. So their we where spending a whole day of our vacation in

It took weeks of convincing and reassuring that everything was going to be just fine before I budged. I did not agree because I suddenly was not scared, I felt guilty that we would not go on my accord. So here I was, hours away from hopping on the thing I promised myself I would never get on.I closed my eyes and to my surprise fell asleep. I was asleep for what felt like all of five minutes.I was woke up by a distant car horn, I looked ahead and saw the blurry light turned from red to green, we hung a left. I read the big blue print on the concrete sign,” Roanoke Airport,” We were finally here. I heard a low roar that seemed distant, but it grew louder with the passing seconds.Then a huge plane soared over top of us! The fear gather back inside

I think it is not a myth that the rainforest was once pristine. Although Mann's study suggests that large swathes of the Amazon where farmed intensively, I find his evidence dubious and am more inclined to agree with Barlow. Barlow provides evidence that only a small fraction of the rainforest was altered by pre-Columbians, citing that although there would have been high impact activities such as ADES, settlements, enrichment planting, these would have only taken place on small scale when compared to the total surface area of the Amazon. Barlow also argues that the two main competing hypothesis claims it existed either as a ‘‘pristine forest’’ or a ‘‘cultural parkland’’ where in either case the amazon rainforest would have been vegetated prior to human intervention. This leads me to believe that the rainforest would have been a forested area because it is unlikely human settlement would have occurred if no resources already existed. Also, human settlement generally does not occur in deeply forested areas which would leave the heavily forested areas relatively untouched.

One of the biggest Rainforest in the ecosystem is located In Amazon River Basin in South America. A plant that helps the rainforest is the pitcher plant. Some abiotic factors that help the ecosystem survive is water, sunlight, oxygen, soil and the temperature of the ecosystem . The ecosystem increased by soil stability , and a regulated climate. This picture shows the food chamber.

In the compartment in which I was sitting at, it had a window that showed the land below us as well as a blue comfortable seat that smelled like a fresh new shirt. In this trip I brought my iPad to keep me busy. As I played with my iPad, a few hours passed and I unknowingly thought it had only been 30 mins. So when people started to leave the airplane I was still on my iPad. I eventually found out what was happening and packed my stuff up and followed my family who were walking down the small lane in the airplane to the exit. As we approached the exit of the airport we caught a taxi and drove down to the resort we were going to stay at which is called, “Atlantis.” However during the wait in the taxi, it was terrible. Drinks were stuffed in the compartments, the car smelled like it was 100 years old and it was so small and compact that my mother and brother who were sitting in the back with me were so squished together, I felt like I was suffocating. However the scenery was beautiful, locals traveling down the road, palm trees the size of billboards and the blue clear sky, the taxi driver however was ok, he told some “funny” jokes and even made the trip pretty cheap due to the poor condition of his car, but throughout the whole time my dad got the best part since he sat in the front seat and had a lot of leg room. By the time we got to the resort it was already dark even though we left so early, and the line to check in
