Fish Tree

After reading Fish In A Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt, I have learned that Ally is a dynamic character. At the beginning of the book, Ally is stubborn. Eventually, Ally becomes brave through the middle of the story. At the very end of the story, Ally becomes confident. These character traits were observed through Ally’s actions, dialogue, relationships, choices and problems. I have learned that the main character Ally is to never give up and don’t let anyone bug you. Meaning don’t let anyone bully you or make you want to give up. Whenever I want to give up, I think of the book Fish In A Tree and how Ally never gave up and was brave to stand up for her friends.

Daniel Wallace's Big Fish tells the story of a father and son trying to communicate and make up for lost time at the time of the father's death. In the novel, the father's death takes place in four different stories or "takes." In the midst of these accounts of his death, we are told through stories and tall tales just what the father, Edward Bloom, was really like. Throughout the story are one page chapters where the story shifts and the life of Edward Bloom is told by others and through this we are told what "they say" about him. It is in these pages where the real legend of Edward Bloom is discovered. These one page chapters not only help in portraying Edward Bloom as a legend, but also add to the uniqueness of Daniel Wallace's

All organisms in the world have a range of systems and organs in their body. Some organisms may share similar body systems while others have absolutely nothing in common. Several of those organisms include humans, pigs, crayfish, and earthworms. From their mushy, gushy organs to their soft, gentle skin, you may think, “How are humans and pigs possibly alike? Or a crayfish and an earthworm?” In many ways they may not be, but in other ways, they are very much alike. The body systems that will be compared and contrasted of these organisms are the nervous, circulatory, reproductive, muscular, integumentary, digestive, excretory, and skeletal systems.

When society thinks about starfish, perch, chordate, and fetal pig they become extremely curious about how their bodies operate because of how they are made up. I will give a brief synopsis of all animals before going into major detail about them. According to the online website named dictionary.com, Starfish are any echinoderm of the class Asteroidea, having the body radially arranged, usually in the form of a star, with five or more rays or arms radiating from a central disk; asteroid (dictionary.com). It is known that a chordate is an animal belonging to the phylum Chordata, composed of true vertebrates and animals having a notochord (dictionary.com). According to research, a fetal pig is an animal in the phylum Chordata and class Mammalia (dictionary.com). A perch is known to be a certain kind of fish with very spiny fins (dictionary). Starfish, perch, chordate, and fetal pig are some very interesting animals that possess some exclusive qualities both similar and different.

The Red Tree is another outstanding book by Australian illustrator and author Shaun Tan. The book published by Hachette Australia in 2001 leads us on one girl’s journey through a dark and confusing path of depression. Although each page contains a few words it is the images that capture the reader’s attention with new objects, images and meanings discovered each time the book is reopened.

Tiktaalik roseae, the creatures scientific name, was found in Arctic Canada and it lived around 375 million years ago. The Tiktaalik’s remains were found in Nunavut Territory in Canada and therefore scientists asked locals to propose a name for the species. According to, A Fish Out of Water, “The Elders Council of Nunavut suggested “Tiktaalik”. This word means “a large, shallow water fish”.” Fishapod is a nickname for the Tiktaalik because some scientists believe that it is a missing link between fish and tetrapods, the first animals to walk on land that were four-legged. “Fishapod fossils indicate that the creature was a mixture of animal types,” explains Greg Pardo, the author of A Fish Out of Water. The fishapod had similar parts to four-legged land animals, such as a skull, a neck and a large ribcage. This large

As John Webster, Professor of Animal Husbandry of the University of Bristol argues, "to say that a fish cannot feel pain because it doesn't have a neocortex is like saying it cannot breathe because it doesn't have lungs." But simply, fish possess pain receptors, their brains produce natural painkillers called endogenous opioids and they avoid noxious and threatening stimuli. Such behaviors

Second, there are lots of beautiful creatures to see there. Hawaii is home to a lot of exotic and colorful marine life. The state fish of Hawaii is the humpback whale or as it is known in Hawaii, Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Hawaii has many different species of ocean life. There are five species of amphibians, and twenty-eight species of reptiles; they are all indigenous. Hawaii has a low rate of shark attacks. The most dangerous animals are moray eels, scorpions, cone snail, lion fish, and of course sharks. There are two species of snakes in Hawaii. There is a poisonous sea snake, and a nonpoisonous land snake which is so small that it looks like a worm. One of Hawaii’s most famous insects is the Happy Face Spider. Hawaii has a lot of species of

Is the circulatory system of arthropods more similar to that of annelids or of mollusks? Why?

This article is about the rapid growth of lionfish in the wild. These fish are destroying the ecosystem. They are an unopposed predator in the deep blue and so they over eat to the point of obesity and reproduce rapidly. Colin Angle, iRobot CEO, went on a diving trip in the bermuda and learned about the damage the lionfish were doing. Several conservationists motioned or funded him creating a machine that could kill the fish. This is how the Robots in Service of the Environment (RISE) nonprofit company was started.

The difference between fish classes is their bone structures. For instance, agnatha’s is a fish class that has no jaws like lampreys and hagfish. They have an elongated body similar to eel with a row of sharp teeth. On the other hand, chondrichthyes is a fish class that has cartilages rather than bone such as skates, sharks, and rays. Both skate and ray have flat bodies with gill slits located under their body, while shark has a torpedo shape body with gills slits on each

There are many different ways to identify a fish, yet each fish is unique in its own way. A carp has one barbel at each corner of the mouth that is short, while a mirror carp has large scales that flake off. A Northern pike has a duck billed snout and yellow bean shaped spots, where a buffalo fish has a downturned mouth with thick lips and a paddlefish has a paddle like snout and are plankton feeders. A bullhead has a rounded tail; however, a catfish has a forked tail. A largemouth bass and a rock bass are in the sunfish family, yet can be identified by looking at the upper jaw that extends past the eye of the largemouth bass and the bloodshot eyes of the rock bass. The sunfish family, which is also composed of the bluegill, green sunfish, and redear sunfish, can be identified by looking at the opercular flap; a bluegill has a solid black flap, a green sunfish has a black flap with a white or yellow edge, and a redear sunfish has a black flap with a red edge. A walleye is identified by looking at the tail fin; it has a white margin on lower lobe of the tail fin.

(Ha)- The electric organs are a characteristic in electric fishes that have changed separately numerous times over generations in order to make electricity to navigate, to communicate, to help in defense and to aid in catching and eating prey but have similarities between the lineages, like pathways that affect certain cells and similar transcription factors.
