Table 2: Presence and occurrence of marine organisms in the surf zone of Pallarenda beach.

In the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, many of the characters live in an illusory world and only some can see past this. In the novel, West Egg and its residents represent the newly rich, while East Egg represents the old aristocracy. Gatsby seeking the past, Daisy is obsessed with material things, Myrtle wanting Tom to escape her poverty, George believing that T.J. Eckleburg is God, and Tom believing he is untouchable because of his power and wealth are all examples of the illusion v. reality struggle in the novel and Nick, the only character aware of reality, witnesses the fall of all the characters around him to their delusions.

Donald Trump once said, “My whole life is about winning. I don 't lose often. I almost never lose.” Jay Gatsby has a similar outlook on life. Gatsby and Trump view themselves as winners because their pockets are stuffed with cash. Jay Gatsby and Donald Trump can agree on one thing: money. Both men are ruthless, business tycoons, and measure their success in life based on their wealth. Jay Gatsby meets his demise towards the end of F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby, while Donald Trump is just getting started on a new business venture. Donald Trump is the modern-day Jay Gatsby. Donald Trump and Jay Gatsby find comfort in lavish lifestyles, are willing to go to desperate measures for a business deal, and attempt to win the hearts of the ladies they love.

George Glasenhardt is a toy designers working for Big Monster toys, a Chicago based toy company that works with much larger toy companies like Fisher Price. He had made his strat in this career 25 years ago when he answered a newspaper ad.Before starting his job there he had a background in illustration and psychology. His job description includes inventing toy ideas and bringing those ideas to life through building prototypes. Despite this his job entails much more.

Like the upper littoral organisms in this area have to live in conditions of changing temperature, wave action, moisture loss and high levels of predation from both land and sea creatures. However unlike the Upper littoral that only submerges during high tide, the mid littoral is submerged approximately an equal amount of time it is open to air. This in turn means a far greater time in submission but less extreme temperature due to less direct exposure to the sun. The Stephonson Report reports that the 6-plated acorn barnacle is the indicator species. Although no 6-plated barnacle was found but another indicator species was, the rosy 4-plated barnacle was found to be extremely predominant in this zone (refer to kite graph). Despite evidence showing that this is the indicator species we are unsure as to whether or not it is more common in the lower littoral zone, a zone that was not examined. Despite this background information suggests, “In the mid littoral zone barnacles are usually most common”

“So The Great Gatsby house at West Egg glittered with all the lights of the twenties, there were was always Gatsby’s supplicating hand, reaching out to make glamour with what he had lost be cruel chance...of how little Gatsby wanted at bottom-not to understand society, but to ape it”(21-22). The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald features constant parties, glamorous houses, and extravagance to reveal the values of the characters and the society they live in. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby exemplifies the innate values and morals of its characters

Gregory the Great was born as Gregory, sometime between 540 and 545, to parents of good station. He grew up in Rome, and was educated as best as was possible. At the time, the (College of Rome?) had fallen from prominence into ruin after losing all of its grants and incomes from the Emperor Justinian and the educational culture of Rome was diminishing quickly as the city was torn between wars and invasions. Still, Gregory was educated to the educational standards that remained and it is important to remember that he was gifted with intellect and acumen and always showed the highest prowess at his studies.

Analysis– To analyze the data we used the Lincoln-Peterson method of mark and recapture to estimate three different species populations. The Lincoln-Peterson equation is N = (M*C)/R where N represents estimated population, M represents the number of individuals captured and marked during the first trapping session, C represents the number of individuals captured during the second trapping session, and R represents the number of individuals that were marked and recaptured during the second session of trapping. After running the experiment, data was entered into an Excel file containing data such as the numbers of individuals marked during the first capture attempt, the number of individuals caught per the second capture attempt and the number

Advantages that come with the capture, mark, and recapture method is that you will be dealing with the same species of animal during the capture periods and it will give you an idea of the population size. Unfortunately, there are some factors that make this method unreliable which include, whether or not the population is closed or open, and life and death. An open population makes data collected less accurately measured due to immigration and

The emotion of love can drive a man to the edge. In the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Jay Gatsby is a man motivated by love for a married woman named Daisy whom he once had a relationship in the past. Gatsby acquires wealth and power to regain the love of Daisy; however he gains his wealth through bootlegging, and other implied illegal activities. Gatsby is a manipulator revealed in the interactions between himself and Daisy’s cousin Nick. Gatsby shows signs of a sociopath in his complex planning and focused desire to win back Daisy. It’s evident at the end of the film that Gatsby is blinded by love but is inherently shallow and a manipulator willing to lie and cheat for love.

“Sand crabs are usually found on the beach in large numbers from spring to fall'( Sand crab reproduction is quite effective and important to understand. The reproductive season is generally from February-October, but they can in fact reproduce anytime during the year. Female mole crabs are capable of producing a clutch of 50-45,000 eggs per month. The eggs are located under the telson and appear as a bright orange mass. These eggs take 30 days to develop; once they hatch the larvae are planktonic for 4-5 months. Mole crab larvae go through 8-11 stages and during this time they may drift far offshore. If and when the larvae settle on the beach, they are known as “recruits”. Large numbers of recruits are found in the early fall.

(Above: Gathered results for the distribution of 5 sampled organisms at Goat Island Marine Reserve. Field work was done by placing transect lines at right angles to high tide marks and sampling every 5m using a 0.5m x 0.5m quadrat. At each station, all organisms in the quadrats were counted either via percentage or manual count. Cat’s eye, Oyster Borer and Black Nerite are counted per organism; Columnar barnacles, Plicate barnacles and Coralline Turf is counted as a percentage.)

Look around. Locate likely habitats for macro invertebrates (vegetated bank margins, snags and logs, aquatic vegetation beds and decaying organic matter, silt/sand/gravel substrate).

Benthic surveys: ROV surveys will be conducted to visually record macrofauna species diversity and abundance at each sensor site and push cores to estimate infaunal diversity. Additionally, we will collect P. pacifica to determine longevity in our aquaria system, and will attempt pilot studies to finalize methods for assessing organismal and cellular physiological performance.

This article describes in the abstract how most people are unaware of the complex life cycles that are very prevalent in marine environments, and how such marine invertebrates have a microscopic larval stage that looks nothing like the familiar adult form. While this is not particularly helpful for my lesson plan because it is a very specific and technical article, it did provide some quality information on sea stars, sea urchins and crabs. The article contained many pictures of these animals, specifically in different cycles of life, which could be used in my lesson plan to teach students about how animals have various life cycles. It also included information on the basic anatomy of crabs and how a single organism can live in different habitats during its life.
