When one imagines the master of survival, a camel just might come to mind. After all, these tall, lanky creatures are known to be one of the few animals to survive in the harsh conditions of the desert. The camel may come off as an awkward animal, but it is truly a professional when it comes to adapting. These adaptations are what make this mammal unique from all others. However, surviving the intense heat of the desert is not the only thing they excel at. These magnificent beings lack predators, can travel long distances, and produce various products, such as fiber, meat, and milk. It is amazing to think an animal this incredible is not a primary livestock species in America. After all, the camel has numerous products and could benefit farmers immensely. Thus, camels should become a commonly used animal on farms all across America and utilized for their milk, meat, labor, and companionship.
Even though there are, as stated by the Princeton Encyclopedia of Mammals, a total of six camelids, two of which are the Bactrian and dromedary camel, the most useful of this group is, “the domesticated, one-humped dromedary” (“Camels and Llamas”). Humans tend to rely on the domesticated dromedary camel for food, wool, fiber, and labor rather than the wild Bactrian, who has not yet been tamed. The most distinguishing difference between the Bactrian and dromedary is that the Bactrian has two humps while the dromedary has a single hump centered on its back, but other characteristics of
background. The Arabian is the oldest known breed of horse. They are said to have come from the deserts of the Middle East. They are now one of the most wanted breeds in America. They lived along the Arabian Peninsula, bred by the Bedouins as war horses that could make long journeys or quick escapes.

Filled with a plethora of themes and convictions, Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men excels in its endeavor to maintain the reader’s mind racing from cover to cover. The setting is the Texas-Mexico boarder; the story embodying a modernized western-themed Greek tragedy filled with drug runners and automatic weapons. Llewelyn Moss, a Vietnam veteran, finds himself on the run from forces that seem to be an instrument of karmic consequence. While on the run, Llewelyn is given the opportunity
What is the worst possible thing that one human being can do to another? Take a moment and think about that before reading further. Jesus the Christ said that beyond loving God, the most important commandment was to love one 's neighbor wholeheartedly (Matthew 22:36-40). Other than hating God, the logical consequent of the previous statement affirms that the worst sin must be to hate one 's fellow man. Yet, is this not exactly what racism is; to hate another person for his skin color, something that
Holcomb. In this excerpt Capote utilized rhetoric to no only describe the town but also to characterize it in order to set a complete scene for the rest of the novel. Capote does this by adapting and forming diction, imagery, personification, similes, anaphora, metaphors, asyndeton, and alliteration to fully develop Holcomb not only as a town, but as a town that enjoys its isolation.

later became his wife. After attended Elizabeth when she was sick, Caroline fell severely sick and later died. Elizabeth too, when she was told about William’s death “she fainted, and was restored with extreme difficulty.
