2016 The Loss of an Emperor Some of the world’s cutest and most adored creatures, penguins, recently began to rapidly decrease due to the careless actions of humans. When many people think of penguins they think of the cute, small black and white bird, found at the zoo or in Antarctica. However, these beautiful creatures come in all different sizes and shapes and there’s an estimated 17 species of penguins which all vary in different ways. For example, depending on their species one possibly weighs

Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 thriller, The Birds, is known as an apocalyptic masterpiece. Advertising campaigns screamed, “The Birds is Coming” to entice the people into watching the movie. The reason for birds all of species flocking together to kill and to cause chaos still goes unknown today. Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor star in this disastrous horror film that throws the viewer for a loop at the end of all the slaughtering and disorder in a small ordinary town in California. Through choosing a specific

Conflict Between the Multiple Theories of Bipedalism Why early hominins, the evolutionary ancestors of Homo sapiens, originally became bipedal is a source of contention among many physical anthropologists both today and in the past. There are multiple theories and models that have surfaced over the years to explain why these early hominins evolved to become bipedal, but because there is limited fossil evidence and very few intact pelvises from that time period to study, it’s difficult to conclusively

Creek After the winter, people look forward to having all the flowers begin to bloom again and birds begin to fly, announcing the start of spring. The grass turns green and people begin to be outside without five layers of clothing on and snow falling from the sky. Spring is when everything comes alive after the winter hibernation. My favorite time of the year is spring, when you wake up to the birds chirping outside of your windows. It is the time of year when you walk outside and smell the fresh

General Description I visited the Newport Back Bay Visitors Center. It is located in the Newport Back Bay for people to visit and learn about the wonderful Back Bay that is only steps from our very own school, CDM. The history of the Back Bay goes back a long time. In the 18th century when the Spanish arrived in California places like the Back Bay were very abundant. However by 1975 less than 10% remained in-between Santa Barbra and Mexico. In 1960 plans were made to make the back bay a large

The evil step-vultures laughed as Cindahen fell down the stars carrying a big bag of soot, they all laughed harder as one of the vultures kicked the soot into her beautiful honey-gold feathers. The soot reduced Cindahen’s beautiful golden feathers to a grey smudge and made her beautiful iridescent outline, dull and dirty. “Go clean our phones. NOW,” demanded one the vulture in a tone that tried to relay self-importance but failed miserably. Cinderella barely concealed a sigh, the vulture’s eye’s

University of Washington reviewed the literature on the effect of air pollution on birds, she discovered there were limited materials. Olivia Sanderfoot was surprised by the dearth of materials because winged creatures breathe more efficiently than mammals and are likely more susceptible to the negative effects of air pollution. Among the 132 articles on birds and air pollution is a study that said it would affect bird even while it is still in the egg. Carbon monoxide can diffuse through the eggshells

After reading all the fables in Aesop’s Fables, There are three fables impresses me most. The first one is The Mountain in Labor. Nevertheless, my opinion is different from that of the allegory. As far as I’m concerned, preparing well before a coming calamity is better than doing nothing and just waiting. Taking the agitated mountain for example, loud groans and noises were heard from the mountain in labor and crowds of people came from all parts to see what the matter was. The mouse coming out

happiest bird in the world” When the crow said this to the swan, the swan said, “I used to think that I was the happiest bird too until I saw a parrot. The parrot has 2 colors while I just have one. So he must be the happiest bird.” Taking the swan’s advice the crow went and started looking for a parrot. After a few days of looking the crow finally found him. The crow told the parrot about what the swan had told him. The parrot responded by saying, “I used to think that I was the happiest bird in the

This question has baffled filmmakers and audiences for decades. There is no clear answer on why the birds started attacking. The only person who knows the real answer is Alfred Hitchcock himself. After doing some research on Alfred Hitchcock, I believe that Melanie is indeed the reason why the birds attacked. Alfred Hitchcock saw the actor of Melanie Daniels, Tippi Hedren as his muse and wouldn’t let any other person play the role. One can tell how obsessed he was with her since she was in almost
