Chocolate Frog Persuasive Speech

Any little child is able to connect the name Shamu to the massive black and white creatures that dwell in the ocean waters, termed orcas or killer whales. However, the recent release of the film “Blackfish” has aimed to revise the common opinion of killer whales who are known by the title Shamu. As the film strikes marine life parks such as SeaWorld with apparent reasons as to why these orcas should not be in captivity, the question of “Blackfish”’s validity arises. How truthful can a film be that was created to persuade its viewers to ceases visiting attractions such as the killer whale shows? Since the release of “Blackfish,” animal rights activist, writers, and amusement park aficionados have been expressing their speculations on the “Blackfish”

Ankle bones and tarsal [foot] bones are the most diagnostic elements of the artiodactyls (Gingerich et al., 2), meaning that these bones are the most telling bones when distinguishing what group of animals a fossil may have come from. The presence of these two types of bones together in Gingerich’s discovery suggests that this primitive whale indeed could have been related to the hippopotamus. The skeletons of these animals contain similar bones; therefore both are thought to be artiodactyls. In a recent article in Science, Kenneth D. Rose, of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says, “While ankles from primitive ancient whales have been discovered before, these are the first that are well-preserved enough to provide clues about whale ancestry” (Braun, 3). Paleontologists strongly believe that the bones of this discovery are all from the same animal. According to Gingerich, “No other mammalian specimens were found in the vicinity; all (fossils) are similar in size, color, and preservation; and no parts are duplicated” (3). Since no other animals were found in this same location, there was no chance that the discovered bones could have mixed with another fossil.

In the 1930s, a strange bone was found on the shore of the lake by Oscar Frederickson. The bone was believed to be a spinal vertebra. Sadly, the original bone was lost in a fire, but a wooden copy was made. The bone was showed to Dr. James McLeod of the University of Manitoba, who felt it resembled a vertebra. However, he felt it was the vertebra of a whale-like creature that had been extinct for over four million years.

Fellow classmates, it has come to my attention that something your country is lacking in the fast food department is free guacamole at Chipotle. I realized this the other night when I went to this popular establishment within my community and ordered my usual: a chicken bowl. Tonight was a little different than most, because I was traveling on a whim due to the insufferable hunger that erupted in my stomach. As I was choosing the ingredients I wanted on my bowl, I kept in mind that I was a broke teenager with only 8 dollars in my pocket. Something I have known since the beginning of going to Chipotle is that if you want guacamole on your food, it's an extra $1.50. Even if I really wanted guac on my bowl that night, I wasn’t able to get it because of my shortage of money.

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon have already ushered in a new era of competitive play. With the introduction of Alolan forms, totem guardians, and the brand spanking new abilities on their recently revealed Pokémon, the tier lists of both Smogon and this League will undoubtedly go through a paradigm shift. The real question isn't how the game will change, but rather how it won't. Today I'd like to discuss a topic that for some reason has yet to be approached by many. The Z-Move.

Hello all my wonderful viewers aka Mom! I am so not exited to share my dreams or um goals or hopes for my blogging season ending in early June. I am so unfortunate to tell you my English teacher made me do this. So I will tell you what I plan to achieve. I first tried to think of something to do that wasn't just 3000 page views or 10 comments. I wanted to include my topic as well, however I found that whatever I might post would either not be achievable or boring. I went with boring, sorry. I want to get a good grade and finish my goal, then barely do anything to achieve my goal. DO NOT WORRY! My goal is boring, but my blog WILL NOT BE! I want to write of the best snacks in parks, the types of disney fans, and the changes with the company.

Hi Everyone. Thanks for registering your child in Kids Unlimited this summer quarter. We are pleased to have you be a part of the classes. We know they will enjoy it.

The importance of the research being done based on this find is explained within this same article in a quote from Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum, London saying, “A find like this does make us question the trees people have built up of human evolution”(Noble, 2002). Not only is finding this skull phenomenal, but the implications it holds are tremendous. The idea that one fossil such as this can change the way we have thought about human evolution is a huge deal that deserves much research and even much speculation and dispute.

On November 10, 2009, a small meteor hit a bare patch of grass yards away from The Andes Chemical Lab. It was later encountered by one of the staff, and he brought it in to show to the supervisor. He was told to identify the substance and did the tests to figure it out. Unfortunately, or fortunately for some, it was unidentifiable. But before he could tell the supervisor, the rock started shaking. Seconds later, the power went out. As he realized that the rock was an egg, it became clear that the hatching of the egg had caused an EMP. The power was later restored, but the egg was missing, and it was not to be forgotten by that man.

I was old, but not deaf. I easily discerned the familiar jibes as I made my way through the restaurant. “That’s Congresswoman Underhill. Boy, is she over the hill.” “Yeah, and she’ll be under it pretty soon.” I didn’t respond, partly because I was late for my party. Also, I didn’t want to embarrass the speakers, who might once have been my constituents. I loved that they still recognized me. I even agreed with the sentiment, which was truer than they realized.

Who in here likes icecream? Is anyone allergic or not like ice cream? Those who don't like it, oh man. I am crushed and i don't know how someone doesn't like ice cream!

My Black heels sunk into the turf as I walked down center field, a crowd of 6,000 overflowed the aluminum bleachers towering before me. Pungent flowers of bright blue and gold are cradled in my arms, and an itchy vibrant blue sash is placed over my head. “Homecoming Princess 2013” is scrawled across in elegant cursive that shimmered beneath the blinding stadium lights. “Sophomore princess, Brianna Moynihan” echoed over the speakers; every teenage girl’s dream had become my reality.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Denver City Council, today I would like to talk to you about the city of Denver enforcing a dangerous dog law instead of breed specific legislation, because the enforcement of breed specific legislation is not the solution to dangerous dogs in the community. I plan on showing how Denver could change their law to make a difference to the quality of dogs living in this great city.

As per John Robins, creator of the food revolution, eating dark chocolate isn’t simply alright, it’s in reality bravo. Dark chocolate is a dependable wellspring of reassurance when life has disappointed us, a mood booster and emotion inducer in more positive conditions. But is it really healthy?
