Paragraph On Peafowl

The Puerto Rican parrot or "iguaca" (as our Taino Indians called it) is a bright green bird with a red band on the forehead, a white ring around the eye and the blue primary feathers. Juveniles are quite similar to adults. Both females and males are similar and measure about twelve inches.

The male is the one to show off to attract a mate. Sometimes you'll see the male pick up a seed, hop over to the female, and the two momentarily touch beaks as she takes the food, this is called “mate feeding”. Females choose their mates based on the male’s qualities such as the size of his black face mask as well as the color of his plumage and bill. When the female agrees to become his mate they sing to each other.

One’s view on something often changes when you look at it from more than one point of view. Morality plays a significant role in any decision making process. It is hard to justify any decision that is not moral. Sarah Orne Jewett’s “A White Heron” has many elements of nature, and of the preservation of what Sylvia holds dearly. The thought provoking short story evokes emotions of caring, loving, and fear. All of these emotions are shown by different settings and characters in the story.

To conserve, to hunt, and to share; three key components in the conservation and preservation of the hunt and the habitat. These are the three ambitions of the National Wild Turkey Federation and it is essential to keep these pretensions alive and well in our everyday lives. Today, I write to you in regards of the federation’s scholarship opportunity. I believe I possess the qualities that help enhance these goals of the Turkey Federation.

The article ‘Chickens Range Free’ written by a freelance writer Jo Smith conveys the idea that the activists who’ve offered a truck-load of chickens, freedom from their cages were a very humane thing to do. Through his explanations, a reasonable tone has been applied effectively to convince the readers to agree with him. The author has also employed a very confident tone when mentioning how this action has been clearly justified due to human rights. However, although there have been people who have opposed this action of freeing the chickens, the author tries to dominate his stand by employing the use of different persuasive devices such as the inclusive technique, directive language, and analogy, which in this

I have shown a variety of both livestock and general projects in my ten years as a 4-H member. My first livestock project was Mallard ducks and since then my waterfowl project has expanded. I showed my Mallard ducks for five years. Unfortunately a mink killed my entire flock. After I lost my flock, I was given a set of Giant African Dewlaps from a family friend which I named Linus and Lola. A few years later the same family friend offered to give me his pair of Giant Toulouse Dewlap geese. He was having difficulty finding someone to take care of them when he traveled and felt they could have a better home with me. I have shown these geese at the Illinois State Fair and have won Best Heavyweight Goose and Gander and Reserve Best Heavyweight

A sibling is only missed once he or she has moved out. The donut isn’t nearly as good when it is being eaten, as it seems to be once it is gone. Things are easily taken for granted, as seen in Meredith Hall’s “Killing Chickens.” Hall incorporates her own personal stories, heartache, expirences, and family to reveal to the reader the act and effect of underappreciation. Through short syntax, imagery, and a distant tone, Hall shows how easy it is for things to be taken for granted.

“Wild Geese” is very different from many poems written. Oliver’s personal life, the free form of the poem along with the first line, “You do not have to be good,” and the imagery of nature contributes to Oliver’s intent to convince the audience that to be part of the world, a person does not need to aspire to civilization’s standards.

My favorite restaurant to eat at is Chick-Fil-A. I like Chick-Fli-A because the food is good, the wait is not long, and the employees are always nice. I have always enjoyed eating at Chick-Fli-A. When I was younger I would always try to get done eating fast so I could go play in the small indoor playground. There would always be a lot of kids in the play area. We would play hide-and-go-seek or whatever other game that we wanted.

The adult Great Blue Heron is a blue-gray color. They have a black stripe above their yellow eyes. The stripe extends to the back of the neck turning into a plume of feathers like a ponytail. They have gray, shaggy neck feathers with streaks of white, black, and rust-brown. They

The wild turkey is an animal most people have heard of because of hunting reasons, but do you know the basic facts? The wild turkey species has 6 subspecies; these include the eastern wild turkey, Osceola (Florida) wild turkey, Rio Grande wild turkey, Merriam's wild turkey, Gould's wild turkey, and Ocellated wild turkey. These turkeys are different in color but are mostly the same because they are the same species of animal. The wild turkey is dark in color, either brown, black, or a similar color. Their wings are dark and are boldly barred with white.

Betrayal and loneliness are two of the hardest emotions to encounter in life. Nevertheless, at some point everyone will experience and be forced to deal with them. This is made even harder when they are caused by someone you love and trust.  In Meredith Hall’s “Killing Chickens”, she uses various literary devices such as metaphor, simile, and imagery as she processes her husband’s affair and describes having to kill chickens. Hall’s literary nonfiction is based on the happenings of a specific day that was truly hard to handle after being deceived by ones she loved:

What attracts us to the movie theatre on Friday nights? Is it the commercials we see? Or is it all the gossip we hear from friends and TV talk shows? Well for many, it is the critiques we read and hear almost every day. One who specializes in the professional evaluation and appreciation of literary or artistic works is a critic. The profession of movie criticism is one of much diversity. Reviews range anywhere from phenomenal to average. Not only are movies created for the entertainment and sheer pleasure of the audience, they create a market of jobs and open doors to the world of financial growth. The success of these films, whether they are tremendous or atrocious, is not only dependent of the actual film, but

The males in most cases are the most active in courtship- they are in fact, the best provided with and are the more attractive of the two sexes in various ways. The attractions are flaunted in an elaborate manner in the presence of the females; and also only during the mating season. It also happens to be, that the individuals of one sex are capable of feeling a preference for a certain individual of the opposite sex according to Darwin. When the above happens, like in the case of the argus pheasant where the females are attracted to the exotic shading of the ball-and-socket ornaments and designs on the wing feathers of the male, it is interesting to notice that the males especially flaunt their great plumes only during the mating season and preferably in the presence of his female counterpart/counterparts. The great plumes which prevent the wings from being used for flight, thus, can be traced to the fact that they were given to the male as an ornament. Also, interesting is the fact that, the females would likely mate with that male argus pheasant who had the greatest plume because it charms them.

The short story "The Birds" was written by Daphne du Maurrier and was filmed and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It has a very interesting and suspenseful plot. The short story was well written and the film was well played, both are very similar. Although, they have a few differences the film and short story have the same mood and theme. Would the differences in the film and the short story affect the suspenseful and frightening plot?Alfred Hitchcock did an outstanding job filming the movie matching it with the short story. In both the short story and film flocks and flocks of gulls, robins, and sparrows join each other.
